THE diaphanous negliges in no way
answer the purpose Of bath robes;
and even the devotees of chiffon
crepe de chine and lingerie negliges don
heavy. substantial garments going to and
from the bath. The newest robes are
made Of Turkish toweling. and these will
serve the purpose Of the traveller in hotel
and steamer corridors. for they are all en-
veioping. and are provided with the hoods
which cover the head-a convenience to
be hailed with joy when it is remembered
thai the hair is not generally presentable
at the bath hour.
The robes are made Of pink and white,
blue and white or all white toweling. and
the hoods are contrasting. On the pink
and white gowns they are of white bound
with pink ribbon. on the blue and white
of white bound with blue, and on the
white of either blue and white or pink
and white toweling hemmed or bound
with colored ribbon. The hoods can be
worn hanging over the shoulders when
they are not on the head. Some OF the
gowns of white have sashes to match the
hoods drawn, Turkish fashion, about the
hips.

made more serviceable. as we'll Is smart

stripes of the braid of the skirt-one at

the front and about the bottom with the
braid. and the collar and cuns are like
wise bound with the braid. Large round
glass buttons of brown and yellow are
used for buttoning the coat and trimming
the skirt.
The separate coat is to be worn this
summer In many fashions. For summer
wear the separate coat is such con-

evidence for a season or SO 1t is bound
to come back before long. For outing

young girls. Coats of eponge reaching
well below the hips, cut on straight lines,
buttoned with big bone buttons, with
breast pocket and long sleeves, are also,
worn for sports.

Those who are In the trade for making
fabrics have given out that plush. velvet

The fashion for fancy buttons is in
creasing every week. and every week new
buttons are designed to meet the growing

cred chiffon for use on white lingerie

satin and tucking these gay little circles

Bulgarian jewery is the name applied
to strings of bright colored beads mount

has gone forth that the fad for bulgarian

but these chains are cheap and the colors

of dull silver links which hold long deep
red beads and smaller yellow ones fast
ened every two or three inches such
