FOR NIGHTGoWN OR NEGLIGEE
ExquisiteIy Pretty Robes Serve Both
Purposes-Crepe de Chine and
White Lace Chiefly Used

AIluring robes in delicately colOred
crepe de chine and white lace are list
ed as nightgowns, but may quite as
properly be worn as negligees, and
most women buy them for that pur-
pose The back and front, each cut
from a single breadth of double-width
crepe de chine, are so gradually sloped
from the lower edge-fnished with
an a-jour-headed hem-to the bust,
that nowhere is there an atom too
much fuIIness At the top the crepe
de chine width at back and front are
opened at the right side and drawn in
a point to that shoulder, while the
other side is caught under the left
arm The entire lower section is
swung from a deep yoke of white lace
whose neck is drawn taut by a rib
bon run beading after the robe is on,
for there is no other opening and no
fastening to bother with The elbow
sleeves are simply wide puffs of lace
ending in narrow rufles gathered with
ribbon and beading.
