THESE BOWS AFRAID OF SALT
 WATER.

A PRETTY girl emerged from her
 "A bath house at one of the Jersey 4 \ coast beaches last Sunday, clad in the most captivating of bathing costumes-wine colored taffeta with three coquettish ruffles on the short skirt and smart bows of wine colored moire ribbon nesting here and there; one on the front of the skirt above the ruff1es, one at the corsage and a third. huge bow, across the back of the waistline. On her cap of wine, colored silk was another perky bow of moire. One speculated what the rollicking pillows would do to those gay ribbon bows, but it seemed the pretty girl had no intention of subjecting her bows to the test. Half dozen f1ips of thumb and forefinger and the four bows were off her dress and tucked into a silk reticule. which was left in charge of her chaperone while, she had her swim. The bows were at- tached to skirt, bodice, girdle and cap by snap-fasteners and next day after the silk bathing dress had been pressed out - an indispensable process with the modern, elaborate bathing CO.'S tume-the pretty bows could be snap ped in place in a twinkling.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-07-26

skirt is draped up to suggest the Greek tunic with strands of the pearl beads, the material being shirred over very narrow ribbon-tape first and the strings of beads sewed over the shir- ring. White embroidered tango crepe was used for this peignoir which is exceedingly soft and clinging and which may be slipped on and off as easily as any bathgown of cotton crepe.
 The most elaborate negligee on to- days page shows a long coat of pale pink daphne silk over a pleated robe of equally soft silk a shade fainter in its pink tone. The extreme length of both gown and coat make the neg | ligee very graceful and though the pleated gown suggests fullness, it is really rather narrow around the feet. It's pleated fullness is attached to a square yoke of Filet lace and a cord and tassel of pale pink silk confine the pleats at high waistline. This under robe is sleeveless, the coat hav- ing wide sleeves of kimono cut. Deep fiounces of Filet lace edge these sleeves which are looped up with pink silk roses matching the rose garlands which trim the fronts of the coat. At the lower edge of tho coat whe eh is sloping in cut is an ungathered f1ounce of the Filet lace and three tassels swing from the corners at the front and from a point at the center back. A turnover collar of lace is feature of this coat negligee, the rose garlands suggesting long ties which start be- heath the collar. The cap is of shirred net and lace over a wired net founda- ton, the turned back frill in Dutch effect being drawn up on narrow pink ribbon.
 Five new boudoir caps are shown in today's illustrations, the one just de- scribed being a particularly becoming style.
 Another fetching cap is the gran ny' cap which has an extension be- low the neck in the effect of the shoul- der cape which used to protect grand mas neck from draughts and rheu- matism before the day of steam heated houses. This granny" cap is most coquettish and is built of net, Irish crochet and French val lace. The back is shirred in as far as the ears on each side, ribbon rosettes being placed over the ears as a finish. Another CO., quettish cap, in quite different style is the Dutch cap with wired points at the sides. This cap is made of three strips of Filet lace insertion the wire running under narrow hem

buy good nickel fittings at the start and not the fiimsy polished tin ones which soon go to pieces and rust bad- ly in the process. The fittings may include two towel racks-a short one near the washstand and long one over the bathtub sponge holder, drinking glass holder, toothbrush hold CT and soap receptacle. A glass shelf with nickel brackets, over the wash stand, for toothpowder, talcum, toilet waters and the like will add much to the luxurious effect and over the glass shelf. should be hung a white framed mirror. These mirrors are rather high priced because of the thick beveled glass of which they are usually made. but often a search through the secondhand shops will discover just the right sort of mirror only needing coat of white paint on its frame, and priced at a song.
 The modern apartment house bath room is equipped with a medicine closet, capacious or tiny according to the fancy of the builder. Such a closet is always great convenience | for in 1t the vast array of bottles. jars and pasteboard medicine boxes collected by several members of a family in years time, may be kept out of sight. and dangerous medicines may be locked up. A carpenter will. for a few dollars. build roomy wall cabinet with two or three shelves on which not only medicines, but towels. shaving implements, hot water bottles and other sick-room belongings may be slowed away. The cabinet will be painted white to match the woodwork of the bathroom.
 A curtained shower is an inestima- ble luxury but 1t is also a rather ex- pensive luxury. If 1t must be dis l penssd with. at least have . bath spray

which costs only dollar-or very lit- tie more and which may be used with either cold water or hot water, or both combined.
 The smartest way to curtain the bathroom window just now is with a handmade linen or scrim shade, hang ing without fullness from a nickel pole at the top of the window Such cur tain may be very simple or it may be very elaborate. The handsomer 1t is. of course, the more distinction it lends the bathroom for it is-in its posi- ton against the window-the first thing that attracts the eye in the immacu- late white room. A white linen shade of this kind, ornamented with Cluny lace and hand embroidery is pictured. The linen was purchased in a width just fitting the window space and across one end of the shade goes the beautiful design of lace insets, hand embroidery and cut work. Simpler shades of White linen have row of scallops and little hand embroidery across the bottom; and very attractive shades are of closely woven scrim with border of cross-stitch embroidery above a two-inch hem.
 The really luxurious bathroom. whatever It's woodwork and fittings, proves itself by its towels. Big tow els of handsome material bespeak prosperity and knowledge of the re- finements of living; small, thin tow els suggest economy or ignorance of "what is what" in well-equipped home. The most exclusive bathrooms show towels of pure white linen dam ask, hemmed or scalloped at the ends and ornamented only with hand em- broidered initials. Blue and red bor- dered towels are now considered bad taste, though If the bathroom rug and walls show a tint of blue or bun the towels may be cross-stitched in match

wash-cloth Is striped in pale green to match the towel. In the brides linen chest are similar sets striped and initialed in pink and pale buff, to match other guest-rooms in her new home. A bath mat with initials or monogram embroidered to order In the center costs about three dollars and half, and-hung beside the washstand in the guests bedroom adds much distinction to the room. Such a bathmat will be spread down by considerate guest before the morning sponge-bath Is taken.
 For the equipment of the bathroom in small family, there should be two dozen huck towels costing about $2.60 a dozen; one dozen bath towels at $3 a dozen, one dozen washcloths at s1 a dozen; two bath mats at $1.50 each, and half a dozen special towels for guests use in the bathroom a. $6 dozen

shoulder with hidden snap-buttons. A cap, large enough to be quickly donned with the sacque, is made of white lace over a wired frame of net. Small pink rosebuds are wreathed around the crown.
 With this enchanting phone sacque is worn one of the new dancing pet ticoats with inset pleatings of lace at the sides, while the flat effect Is main- tained at front and back. The petti- coat is of white daphne silk and Ger man Val lace.
 White Boudoir Wear Much in Favor.
 At least thirds of the fashion able negligees this season are pure white, for there is a momentary craze for white in the boudoir. Nothing is so lovely-or so perishable - as the negligee of thin white silk and chif- fon and the woman who wears white during her lounging hours must have large supply of negligees, for half of them will be at the cleaners con- stantly. When colors are preferred they are of the palest, faintest sort mere tints of pink, blue and buff. For some reason or other green Is almost never used for boudoir wear and lav- ender but seldom. Yellow is, how ever, fashionable boudoir color just now and some of the smartest neg ligees are of very pale buff with strik- ing embroideries in black. I must tell you, while it is in mind, of novel French negligee just sent over for a bride of this month. The sender, who is stopping in Paris, picked it up in an exclusive French shop and she ayers that all the chic Paris women are wearing negligee suits of this sort during the morning hours at home.
 A Paris Negligee That Suggests Trous-
 CTS.
 The Suit includes a loose, Man darin coat, slashed at the sides from hip to waistline to admit of inserted gussets which give decided flare to the lower part of the coat. The gar- ment is not cut out at the neck but Is finished with a band of black hand embroidery around the neck and above the embroidery rises a frill of pleated net in Pierrot style. Black embroidery also outlines the shoulder seams, the arm-hole seam (the sleeves are big bishop affairs to the wrist) and runs down the seams that join the fan-shaped gusset to the slashed coat. So much for the coat: the skirt is really the interesting thing about this French negligee. At first you believe the wearer of the "suit'' has on Ori- ental trousers; then you perceive there IS no bifurcation, and you won der how one gets into such a gar ,,,a,t rt is very simple The skirt | is z. long bag, shaped precisely like a

ing color in narrow border effect. For the guest have ready special white damask, or linen huck towels of gen. erous size. Nothing is more exasper- ating to guest than to be presented with "dinky' little guest-towels which nobody really likes to use but which for some reason or other-probably their cheapness-have flooded the gift market and the bridge-prize market during the last year or two. For the weekend guest there should be ready at least three large. initialed damask or huck towels, two bathtowels and washcloths to match.
 The bath-towel and washcloth pie tured are part of the linen supply of a June bride. The bath-towel is thick and absorbent, and at one end is a woven diamond-shaped inset on which the brides initials are embroidered in pale green-to match the color se- lected for a certain guest-room. The

TRLL the brides are not married
 in June these days. July
 bridals have become quite the V " fashion as the country we'd ding increases in popularity, and many "a fashionable debutante whose en- lgagement was announced in the spring has waited for the migration of the family to the country home to be married. There is a charm about the country wedding not to be equaled by smart affair in town with police men keeping the crowd away from the awning and a church packed with strangers who obtain tickets by hook or by crook in order to study styles and comment on the frocks and man. ners of the smart folk.
 The country wedding also affords opportunity for a gay weekend party. Bridesmaids. groomsmen and a host of youthful friends fill the house and remain after the wedding for the in evitable dance, and there are gay do- ings of a happy and informal nature, lasting through several days.
 Clinging Silks in New Summer Negli-
 gees.
 Exclusive boudoir wear these days is made, not of filmy cotton-woven stuff, but of equally filmy silk, and the up-to-date bride is clothed In silk from top to toe; her chemise and culotte of thinnest crepe de chine or daphne silk embellished with lace; her corset of silk woven trecot, her stock ings of cobwebby fine thread silk; her petticoat and brassiere of silk and lace. Naturally her boudoir wear is of the fashionable silk also and the favored silks are crepe de chine, cling ing, beautiful pussy willow taffeta, daphne silk, almost transparent In its sheerness. butterfly marquisette woven of silk threads, chiffon, and the silk woven indestructible voile which is re- markedly durable despite its trans parency. With these soft, sheer silks the most lovely laces are combined shadow, Filet, Val, Normandie, Chan tilly,f Lierre and even costly hand made "real'' laces; the heavier Irish crochet and Cluny being introduced lin medallions and entre-deux.
 Exquisite indeed is a little phone eacque, or wrap-negligee intended for quick slipping on when its possessor lis called suddenly to the telephone koutside her own apartment; or when (he wishes to run into another room xpr a moments chat or gossip. The Bl6ose sacque, which crosses in front Hike an evening wrap and falls in soft | Holds at the back. is made of white 1 1ndestructible voile.

ly over accounts of expensive, - marble-fitted bathrooms with silver faucets, mirror-lined walls and seven different kinds of baths. She sets to work to make the very most or her own humble bathroom. knowing that fresh cleanliness, an adequate number. of bright nickel fittings and plenty of generous sized towels hung in orderly array can achieve most at- tractive and satisfactory result.
 Much color is never desirable in a bathroom. White walls and woodwork always look best and the handsomest bathrooms are of course walled and fioored in spotless white tiling. A can of white paint will do wonders with a shabby bathroom in a rented house, and if a modern enamel tub has not been installed, give the tin tub sev- eral coats of special white enamel paint which comes for this purpose. If the floor Is of ordinary pine in stead of the desirable tiling, cover 1t with linoleum having very incon- spicuous blue or green figure on a white ground in tiled effect. Over this should be spread an inexpensive rug. The light-colored rag rugs are very attractive in bathrooms, but they rumble up in most aggravating man. ner, especially when a door is pushed to and fro over them. If the bath room is long and narrow, a strip of thick carpet stretching from one end to the other will make a luxurious floor covering. Otherwise a square carpet rug will answer very well. There should be. hanging conveniently in sight. thick bath-mat to spread over the rug before the bath.
 Nickel fittings add much to the att tractiveness of the white painted and enameled bathroom and 1t Is wise to

in the lace. A gathered lace frill fin- ishes the edge. The Dutch cap is a breakfast cap and demands some semblance of a coiffure beneath it. The granny" cap covers head and hair completely and may be slipped on for breakfast in bed, before the hair has been arranged for the morn ing.
 Special Corsets for Boudoir Gowns.
 There are special lounging corsets for the boudoir which give a more graceful line to the clinging negligee than would be possible were the negli- gee worn over any but a faultless figure. Many women have presentable uncorseted figures when standing erect, but boudoir gown is for loung- ing and no one wants to look sloppy in an exquisite clinging negligee of silk and lace. Hence the boudoir cor set which Is of soft, woven silk mesh almost boneless, and much shorter than the corset worn with formal gowns. Some of these boudoir cor sets are mere "slip-ons" with no bones at all. They are drawn on, over the feet and cling snugly over hips and thighs, holding the abdomen in fiat line even when the figure lounges.
 Nightgowns de Luxe.
 The two "nighties' pictured are typ ical of the seasons styles On the seated figure is nightgown of white daphne silk trimmed at yoke and hem with wide lace insertion, which runs up at the front to outline slash in the narrow silk gown. The sleeve less lace yoke Is threaded with white ribbon. The cap of lace is trimmed with white ribbon and tiny pink silk roses. Another nightgown, of sheer cotton batiste, has most graceful yoke of St. Gall embroidery. Under the scalloped frill of embroidery pink ribbon through beading draws In the gown slightly. Pleated net frills form the sleeves.

Greek Robes in the Boudoir.

Many of the fashionable negligees this summer are strongly suggestive
 of classical types. For example, the graceful peignoir of white tango crepe and pearl beads pictured today. This lovely negligee goes on all in one, though the skirt portion is cut great deal fuller than the bodice which is very negligible indeed-just two loose strips of the thin crepe. outlined with pearl beads and caught together over the arms with pearl ornaments.
