In wool and in cotton. The velvety sur

hens Of satin set on the corduroy edges

there is narrow shoulder yoke formed
of four satin bands set together with

Albatross lined with silk and feather
stitched in silk is much liked for a
boudoir robe of medium weight, and ex-
ceedngly pretty things are done with
French flannel in plain colors. Borders

often used to trim flannel or albatross

WYE have travelled long way
NA/ since the Mother Hubbard
w wrapper represented the aver
age American woman's ideal
Of negligcc. Even yet a good many
women do not allow their imaginations
10 range further in the realm of boudoir
coquetry than cheap kimono or an
eiderdown bath robe. but an increas-
Irgly large number have lived down the
conviction that a wrapper becomes i'm
proper the moment it is christened a
boudolr gown and takes on beauty.
The enthusiasm OF the emancipated
can BE- best gagged by the growth of
the departments devoted to the negligee
In the shops and by the efforts manu-
fscturers and importers now make to
meet the demand for negligees of the
better class. But that phrase. the bet
ter class" does not necessarily imply
great expense, and perhaps the most
significant feature OF the negligee busi-
ness is the enormous improvement
among the models at moderate prices.
Even those same cheap kimonos and
e!derdown bath robes which, while not
the subtlest expression of the lounging
robe idea, are in a way useful and
admirable garments, are growing better
looking season by season, more attrac-
tive in color. in texture, in detail. The
cotton and wool eiderdowns and the
soft blanket stuffs which are used for
Amer robes of the same general type all
come in a wide range Of beautiful color
ings and many becoming variations are
shown in collars, bindings, grdles, &c.
The comfortable though rather shape
less padded silk gowns are now offered
at comparatively low prices and in good
colors and even the zenana cloth robe,
which is the most luxurious OF these
warm. comfortable garments. can now be
bought for $40 or sl2. Naturally the
quality is not that of the high priced
models and the embroidered scallops
which finish collar and sleeves are not
30 carefully done as on the expensive
zerana robes. but there are the warmth
and the lightness and the lustrous
crimpled silken surface and the dainty
coloring.
Many women who feel that they can
not afford a really good zenana robe at
store prices buy the material by the
yard and make II up at home. AS the
gown must Of necessity be severely plain
