A Crepon Negligee

Lovely little negligees can be made
of the crepon that has so taken hold
of the popular fancy. These negligees
are very easily laundered, and though
attractive are inexpensive. In a
smart art needlework shop that is up
to the minute, several of these crepoh
negligees are on exhibition. They are
cleverly embroidered. 1t is doubtless
the intention of the sales manager to
tempt his customers to purchase the
stamped materials for the negligees
and then embroider them.
Hand embroidery is no longer the
arduous task that 1t was several years
ago, for some of the modern stitches
are so delightfully."- easy and so quickly
worked that several articles can now
be embroidered in the time that 1t
formerly took to embroider one.
What could be prettier than a pale
blue crepon embroidered in white
daisies and green foliage? Both dais-
les and foliage can be done in lazy
daisy stitch. than which there is
nothing quicker. The centres of the
daisies should be done in yellow
French knots. If you wish to have
the negligee more or less elaborate,
silk can be used, but the mercerized
cotton is very effective when worked
up. The negligee may be very simple.
Edge it with lace, the wider the bet
ter, so that it will be more or less
frilly. Then trail the daisies down
each side of the front and about the
neck of the negligee. Work clusters
of daisy heads about the sleeves, with
here and there a green leaf.-Phila-
delphia North American.
