The players are making their plans
for the summer engagements but they
are not so far matured as to be ready

Pale Blue Shades Most Favored for
Peignors, Although Pink May Be Used
Dull Coors Do Not Accord With the Dainty Furnishings
and Decorations of the Dressing room
of Milady.

Blue seems to be the favorite color
in peignoirs, il one may judge by
those recently arrived from | Paris.
The blues employed are chiefly bf pale
tone, since dull shades do not accord
with the dainty furnishings and deco
rations of the dressing room. Then.
too great many women who would
not dream of wearing certain defeats
tones in convenient garb, have no hes
itancy about adopting them nor gar
ments of character so personal as is
q peignoir. And blue is first favorite
with the average woman, even though
to some compilations it is unkind.
Delicate azure is the shade OF pei
gnoir entirely of chiffon, and trimmed
in novel fashion with morning glory
sprays and satin ribbon. The flowers
head knee deep lace flounce on a
filmy skirt, which they separate from
a bodice whose upper edge runs under
the armpits. Crossing the bust III a,
blue satin wide ribbon, which at back
drops over the, hips to recross, as IL
bow, on the skirts front. and finally
joins low at the back.
Alice, most alluring Of modern
blues, is com bined with old rose In A
peignoir whose salient feature is a
short boxlike jacket, apparently de-
signed to break the long lines of a
garment who silhouette is usually
attenuated. This deliberate break is
emphasized by a frfll in old rose. chif-
fon edgings the Jackets lower edge, II

Hne and curving very gradually tow

A peigncir so elaborate that 1t
bright under certain conditions pose
as a teagown is in two distinct sec
tions-a lace coat and slip in palest
blue satin. SO wide is the long strip
of lace employed that while one edge
furnishes a finish for the neck, run
ming to a V-pointeds decolletage just
above the bust line, the opposite edge
finish es the sleeves formed by merely
catching the lace together at the ell
bows Between the Waistline and the
bust the edges Of the lace length are
lightly caught together, and the coat
like garment naturally slopes toward
tho sides, to end far below the knees,
The back, hanging straight, makes an
uninterrupted line from the neck.
Equally good would this model be in
white, with lavender or pink
While blue is SO unusually promin-
ent among peignoir models, pink is
by no means neglected. Difficult to
resist is a, model in shell-hued satin
and white chiffon. The silken slip,
sleeveless. and of square decolletage,
falls straight from the shoulders to
the carpet, which 1t sweeps in grace
full, If not clearly, fashion, but at the
waistline it is loosely drawn in with
self toned satin ribbons, tying at
front. Over this robe is tackled loose
flowing, sacquelike, full length gar
lr1ent in white chiffon cloth, a-jour
bordered, and provided with ecclesias-
teal sleeves. Nothing could be SIM
pier or more readily drawn on. Yet,
when adjusted, its effect is exquisitely
dainty.
