They re names OF new lingerie.
New York, May 23,-Even if your
underwear doesn't answer to all the
requirements of modesty and propriety
these days it simply must answer to
name or il isn't up TO date. Most any
deluded husband casting weather eye
over his wife's shopping list and catch
| ing such items as "one model Dorothea
trimmed in pink ribbon, or lone pink
and white Bettino, medium weight,
would hastily offer 10 do her shopping
for her. Quite the best he would get,
however, would be n combination or
nightie not forgetting a good. sized bill.
Just fancy calling your ehemise by
pet name. You see they run in sets
For instance, there is the Marcello
combination, the Marcello Envelope
chemise, and the Mareello nightgown
all very Frenchy and hand made, OF
sheerest batiste banded in pink and
white striped madras. Think how en-
barrassing il would be to get mixed
and call your domestic machine-made
Eloise combination by hand made
name, it simply wouldn't do at all.
They really don't go in the same set,
you know.
Aside from the novelty Of naming the
new lingerie there are lots Of novelties
: in the cut, materials. and trimmings
: also. More and more color is creeping
, into the underwear and dainty pink
! particularly lies family blushing
against nv lady fashion IS satin skin.
Trimmings Are in Colors.
7 The trimming of nightgowns, com
| binations, chemises and drawers in
bands of pink and white, blue and
white, green and white, or lavender
E and white striped madras is very quaint
G and Frcnchy, especially when the ma
Y terial proper is of sheerest French ba-
h tiste. Bands of one.toned old blue
rose, pink and lavender batiste is also
= very desirable as trimming as well as
Il bands of thin flowered organdie and
. lawn. Sets of all-over flowered organ
die, lawn and chiffon are lovely beyond
words and also beyond price except for
= the handy home dressmaker who can
+ copy these -expenive imported delights
n for little or nothing as the flowered
material especially requires little trim
:, ming save q narrow lace beading or a
/ tiny edge.
;. The envelope chemise is perhaps the
d most popular of the many novel cuts
1t is regulation chemise down to the
Il knee when the back of the skirt part
l. is narrowed into flap effect tina,
y passes between the knees and fasten'
upon the front edge of the skirt a Ii
l. envelope The combinations of flesl
e. color chiffon, accOrdian plated ant
n guiltless of shoulder straps that are
e held up over the bust and under thu
arms with an elastic band around thu
1t top are very practical for the transpar
l. ent and low cut evening bOdces nov
IS in vogue.
n The three striking Characteristic
er that differentiate the lingerie of today
from that of yesterday are, first, sim
al plicity of cut and trimming in lieu o.
r the fluff and flubdub OF the lace frih
ie ed things we used to wear; second, u.s.
Of colored and figured material, AM
'r third, sheerness and transparency
III Nowadays underwear doesn't concea
er anything-not even its real name
Us Us organdie Plays Important Part.
n Organdie not only plays an import
r. ant part among the lingerie this sea
o. son, but also as froek accessory. N
w matter of what material your gown
er taffeta or crepe, gabardne or cotto
fabric, it must have touch of sheer
N est white organdie either as surpllu
front, a Gladstone collar, or puffe
undersleeves.
Paris muslin, WHICH has all tn
transparency and the general effect o
organdie, which can be laundered mue
more successfully, is wiser substitut
for the thrifty, however. As a her
on such thin material never looks we
to be really smart and correct, tn
edges Of your collar, sleeves and SUI
plice must be finished with hant
done pieot edge For the very, yer
hot days to come adorable fluff
frocks of organdie especially is ide'
for the Irfffes and pnffs of the M
ment and as cool as il Is charming.
