tainly secured sometimes for wear
when corsetless and tea-gowned ease
is to be enjoyed but as the necessary
completion for daytime and evening
costumes, a very closely fitting and
short chemise and outer knickers or
cuIOtte of milanese silk or crepe de
chine are the invariable and really
rather sensible wear.
No attempt is being made to popu-
larize new 'jupOB- culotte" of milan
csc silk, which, by means of a cou-
pie of inner and simple fastenings,
can either be worn as knickers or
petticoat.
1t is very cleverly and closely
shaped, and it is all bordered with
very slight and fiat gauging, which
follows its upward curve at the sides
and its opening up the front. But,
on the whole, l think the actual
knickers are more practical as we'll
as smarter.
Some women, however, do not like
the construction of the elastic gath
ering which finishes them off at the
knees, and so good many are now
being made to hang loosely there and
are edged with a tiny betting of lace
or ribbon, their slight opening at
either of the outer side seams being
surmounted by a true lovers knot
bow or a wreath of wee flowers.
Altogether, our every item of attire
is so delightfully."- dainty this season
that dressing is a special joy-to say
nothing of an expense!
But in spite of-and in strange
contrast to-the present vogue for
essentially feminine and fascinating
garments, this present season is also
giving more than usual prominence
to the pajamas which were once mo-
nopolized by the mere man," but
which now, as designed for women's
wear, are being made in white, pink,
blue or black tricot-and made to
measure, too, please note!
Others are being modelled in crepe
de chine, but, though a certain and
very youthful type of girl can NAH
age to look exceedingly piquant in
such night attire, it is hOpelessly
unbecoming to the majority of women.
And, really, even for travelling pur-
poses, there is no necessity for it to
be adopted, as the very plain night
dress of crepe dc chine-modelled on
pajama lines, as regards its fastening
at the neck and its finishing with d
breast pockets just as practical
and infinitely prettier and more suit
able.
And my final word, at the moment.
on the subject of underwear and
night dresses will be to proclaim crepe
de chine as the ideal material and
the simplest style of making as the
Smartest.
| have often previously drawn at
tention to this particular and perfect
fabric, and SO l take a certain
amount of personal pride in being
able to tell you now that it is thc
success of the season, it being already
certain that it will supersede all the
ordinary and once universal white
lawns and so forth
This fact is, indeed being 50 fully
