for finish. Often they are worn under
the skirt with the lace rufles glimpsing
beneath the skirt.
For use as night dress, or negligee,
are Egyptian crepe slips with band of
lace at the neck. The becomingness of
the surpice is very evident in these
gowns. Wide Louisine ribbon is run
through eyelets at the waist and fastened
with bow.
In the adjustment of the bow, all sorts
of Frenchy ideas are noticed. Nainsook
gowns, with striped nainsook tucked
bands, are cut on straight lines and
made rather short. Hemstitching, picot

are used extensively, but the shadow
laces are still favored.
RELAXATION ROBES
Negllgees represent an interesting
problem. One can by means of careful
planning evolve wonderful results. The
woman who makes her own boudoir
robes knows that discarded silk dress
with some chiffon and lace can be
changed into a fascinating negligee.
The coates of lace or chiffon worn over
accordion pleated slips, are an excellent

Beautiful house dresses of embroid-
cred japanese crepe are made with pam
niers and low waistlines and decorated
with silk tassels and colored stone orna-
ments.
Silk, challis, albatross, quilted silk and
crepe negligees are made along simple
lines, and every wellgroomed woman
has one or more, for she pays as much
attention to her indoor attire as to the
outdoor dresses.
Hemstitched chiffon, organdie or net
collars and cuffs are seen on the simpler
garments Pinked taffeta ruches are
charming on the crepe or chiffon robes.
Clusters of rose buds give just the need

Whether you are slender or stout,

aim of the fashionable corset is to reveal

Infinitely more easy to wear are

by-gone days. Though the corsets show
slight curve at the waist, it will be a

which will interfere with our health.

Goats with two or three shoulder shapes
are modish links between today's and
yesterdays style. Military effects have
met with hearty appreciation in both
capes and coats. Mothers will be
glad to know that cloaks and suits
can now be had in intermediate sizes,
and special regard has been paid to the
unusual sized girl. Dear to the heart
of the little girl are the generously
pocketed coats.
The suit <oats will be longer than last
season and will also portray ripple ef-
fects. Fancy coats, as we'll as those
along youthful mannish lines, will be
popular in the young fashion world.
Tunic arrangements, or two or three
TERED skirts, as we'll as yoke effects, are
freely used. Some of the smartest skirts
show turned back hens. The founces
are often finished with pipings, bias
folds or heavy contrasting machine
stitching.
Belts of the material, velvet or suede,
are used to encircle the low waist, across
| the back, or on the side.
Blue serge invariably meets the needs
of sensible school frocks. Contrasting
materials are used in many cunning
styles for the juvenile. Bo-Peep, Little
Miss Muffet, and Florence Dombey
dresses are adorable with serge skirts
and contrasting waists. The skirts which
are fastened to the waist with large pearl
buttons, have a plated blouse fastened
in the front with the same kind of but

give a chic finish to the little costume.
Suspender dresses are delightful for the
little maid.

riettas, soft wool crepes, are used in

are smartly banded with rows of gold

inexpensive laced-in-front models ara
more universally worn than heretofore.
Strong, pliable materials, which need but
few well-placed bones form the latest
models. Suede, tricot, brocades, coutil,

Brassiers have become almost indis-

brassiers designed especially for wear
