The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1915-07-24

In the matter Of lingerie one may
choose between much-trimmed or lit
tle-trimmed garments, providing they
are made of sheer, wellwoven cotton
or linen fabrics. The great majority
are made of cotton because it is cheap
er than linen, is just as go~od-looking.
and does not muss SO easily. Linen is
thought to be more durable and is
therefore sometimes selected for lin
gerie which is to be hand-embroidered.
By comparison with cotton fabrics,
such as fine %voiles, woven of hard
twisted thread, durability lies rather
In favor OF cotton.
The best known tub fabrics include
~nainsook, batiste, long cloth, wolfe,
null, lawn and the hue cotton crepes.
One Of the first three named is chosen
for the great bulk of all lingerie.
An empire gown of nainsook. with
body and sleeves of narrow val inser.
ton, is pictured here. A narrow bead
ing is set at the top and bottom OF the
body and serves to carry the narrow

satin ribbon that adjusts the gown to
the figure. 1t is finished with an edg.
ing of val. The sleeves are made sep
arately and decorated with beading
edged with val. Ribbon is run in the
beading and tied in little bows, with
hanging loops and ends. by way OF
dainty decoration.
The three little figures sketched in
the picture suggest gowns more sim
ply trimmed but equally pretty. Each
borrows the refinement of lace and the
glow of color in ribbons, and each is
gracefully cut. Thus they embody at.
fractions that merit the interest and
the admiration that women always ac-
cord tasteful lingerie.
Crepe de chine and wash silks are
having a considerable vogue in under
garments, but they are merely extra.
luxurious and not more satisfying than
the garments of cotton that emerge
from the laundry time after time as
good as new.

responsible the design, the better the
negligee seems to fulfill its destiny
which is just to be pretty.
These house gowns are easy to
make, as may be gathered from the
very good example shown in the pic
ture. A long, plated skirt is set on
to a short baby waist having elbow
sleeves covered with rows of plating
that are edged with narrow lace. A
wide ribbon girdle, with a rosette bow
at the front, is tackled over the join
ing Of the waist and skirt.
A coatee of shadow lace, with draped
sleeve, adds the final touch of dainti-
ness and a new style feature at the
same time. Light pink crepe and
cream-white lace make as good a
color combination as any, but one
may consider becomingness and en-
vironment and choose whatever is
most pleasing.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1915-07-24

Now that the flmiest of laces are
made by wonderful machinery and are
SO plentiful and so cheap, every wom-
an should indulge herself in a dainty
negligee. If ever there lived a wom-
an without a longing for this strictly
feminine and most luxurious of be-
longings she must have been feeble
minded, for every well-balanced daugh-
ter of Eve acknowledges their fascina.
ton.
The most enticing Of negligees are
made of crepe de chine or thin, up
pie silk, with laces and ribbons.
Color plays so important a part in
the makeup of these garments that
the fabric is the second consideration.
All the beautiful and rich colors may
be set down al available, and the more
howerlike the better. Also the more
frilly and frivolous and altogether ir-

coming sessions win be devoted tt a
consideration of the progress made
since 1900 and to practical suggestions
for new business methods and for gen.
