One of the cool places in the city on
hot day is the waiting room of the Maine
Central passenger station. and no matter
how high may run the mercury outside
the station, when one enters the waiting
room his comfort is assured This apart
ment of the station never reaches a tenn
perature higher than IS degrees. notwith-
standing that the doors are open at train
times, and the windows are sufficiently
opened to insure good circulation Of air.
Another good thing about the waiting
room is that 1t is always warm in winter
time.

be more elaborate or less will depend
: entirely upon the garment that is to be
worn over it. If the blouse itself is
richly trimmed, the lining beneath
would be simple otherwise the lines
will confuse and the effect will be lost
but when plain blouse is worn the
trimmed under bodice serves definite
purpose.
Brassieres are made Of heavy linen
and heavy lace for their purpose is a
practical one and they are supposed to
be strong enough to supplement the
low corset and to keep the figure snug
and neat. Exceedingly handsome
models are shown made entirely of
Irish crochet lace made for the purpose.
1t is strong, it is durable, it holds the
figure and at the same time it is rich
and elegant in effect. Linen of heavy
enough weight to serve the same
purpose with trimming of embroidery
and of cluny lace is liked too and
linen combined with heavy cluny to
make an entire garment is shown.
Since all these materials will endure
laundering again and again. they are
practical as we'll as handsome and it is
q notable fact that women OF the
greatest means are apt 10 DC tHe ones
who look most closely to that con-
dition. 1t is the foolish spendthrift
who buys the perishable garments,
not the woman accustomed to luxury
and who is considering the best and
most desirable.
Petticoats are really luxurious gar
ments. A great many that are in
cluded in the trousseau are designed
to wear in the boudoir in combination
with negligees and such allow the silk
foundations, lace trimmings and all
the elaboration that one may choose.
A wonderfully dainty one that has
just been received from Paris is made
all of fine white organdie. 1t is very
wide and full and is shirred to give the
sectional effect, these, shirrings all
Icing done by ribbon run through
castings and drawn up to be finished
with bows at the sides and at the
lower edge are points Of the ribbon
finishing the garment. With it there
is little corset-cover to match. A
really fascinating model gives the tunic
effect and in scarcely a petticoat
proper but which would be charming

with the negligees mentioned above.
1t is Of pale pink pongee. II 10 very
full and wide and Is cut to form four
big scallops at the lower edge. These
scallops are edged with cream lace
and there is . full pointed over-skirt
or tunic that forms deep point at
the front, one at the back and one at
each side. This tunic also Is edged
with wide lace.
For wear beneath tailored suits,
plain simple skirts are the preferred
ones made Of silk OF Of lingerie az
occasion may require. For alter
noon occasions, silk white or colored
as the case may be, is liked but the
silk Of the day is soft and pliable and
without so much as a hint Of rustic:
Crinoline and bouffant effects Of
necessity make an especial demand.
What we know a. the farthingale or
the stifened petticoat is shown in new
and interesting forms. A practical
one and an excellent one is made of !,
soft silk with three rufles over each
hip and these ruffles are further ex-
tended by the insertion Of soft boning
in the hens. Petticoats Of taffeta
that are rufled without boning are
seen too, and some very excellent
models are made with short tops and
deep circular hounces. The tops are
generously full with a casing applied
at the lower edge and midway Of their
length in which bones are inserted to
produce the desire lines. We will
not wear hoop skirts but we are adapt
ing the stiffened petticoats of various
sorts. All these models are good and
practical. For evening wear beneath
the gowns of fine materials, petticoats
become foundations. Very dainty ones
that have been seen in recent trous-
seau are made of fine colorcd organdie
trimmed from the hip line 10 the hem
with narrow plaitings and designed
to be worn beneath gowns Of cotton
net. The gowns are simple and the
organdie petticoats suit them to a
nicely. They give very harniny
color effect and are just stiff enough
to be bouffant withou extreme.
Gowns Of net are much in vogue. both
cotton net and silk net and the skirts
worn beneath them are scarcely petit
coats, they are Innings.

Following the handkerchief lawn.
fine nainsook is the chosen material
and the nainsooks are many OF them
exquisite in texture and real delight
to wear. Madeira work is for the
most part done on this latter material.
1t is very substantial and it is quite
fine enough for the garments Of every
day use. 1t is ordered by great
many women of really generous means
for the sets that will see the hardest
uses, the handkerchief lawn and fine
French work being reserved tor the
better ones.
This is season of underwear for
the present fashions are essentially
feminine and whenever that is true,
underwear becomes important. Petit
coats are generally worn and the gar
ments beneath them are more volumi-
GUS than has been known for some
time. Whether they shall consist OF
combination garments or Of separate
drawers, corset-covers and chemise, is
entirely a matter OF taste. The en-
velope chemise or the combined
chemise with drawers is a favorite but
the separate drawers also are much
used and the simple plain chemise is
such dainty garment and such an
essentially feminine garment that it is
much liked and generally worn. Night
gowns in these days are almost uni
formly made with low necks and short
sleeves. White handkerchief lawn
finely embroidered and scalloped and
trimmed with little dainty lace and
with perhaps an empire ribbon run
through makes as pretty a garment as
could be asked. Corset-covers or
under-bodices that are to be worn be-
meath transparent waist or blouses,
practically become Innings, consequent
ly they allow greater freedom Of
trimming and Of material than for the
underwear proper. A new and pretty
model is made without any seams
whatsoever. 1t consists Of just four
pieces the edges Of which are finished
and Tapped under the arms while they
form points that are tied together over
the shoulders. The model is very
dainty one and especially desirable
=. for wear beneath transparent blouses.
1t is very charming made with hem
stitched edges with or without lace
trimming within, and whether it should

Interesting Features for the
TrOuSSeau

THE season of weddings is Of
necessity the season of the
= trousseau and perhaps one OF the
most interesting features Of the trous-
seau is its supply of underwear. Just
now, when so many questionable styles
are exploited and talked of, and when
materials that are net really adapted
to the use are perverted thereto, and
there is altogether tendency to get
away from real sense of refinement,
little discussion as to what the best
dressed women are wearing and what
has been ordered for the trousseau by
women who are able to have the best
that the world ffords, may not come
amiss.
Colored underwear never can re-
present elegance. 1t lacks the es-
sential characteristic, it does not be-
long with the highest taste nor the
greatest refinement. Silk Of certain
sorts has taken definite place however.
1t is serviceable for travelling, it is
useful when it is difficult to get launder-
ing done and it serves certain uses that
render it desirable, but nothing super
sedes fine lingerie material and the
tTOuSS- du Vi tkiS tiAetS A>PASS~As
the best have consisted largely of gar
ments made from fine handkerchief
linen and the trimming is needlework
of the best order with lace moderately
used. If the purse allowed, the lace
is valenciennes. If that represents too
great cost then fine quality imitation
lace of the German sort is used, but
quality and daintiness make the
essentials One dozen OF each gar
ment is considered an ample outfit
today. Isl .=..
Women who can afford the luxury
have the embroidery done by experts
in French work and great many are
using the Madeira embroidered gar
ments for the simpler ones but there
is nothing to prevent a girl from
having as dainty and as lovely an out
fit as could be asked for very small
outlay if she is willing to do the work
herself. Garments made of fine ma
terial hand sewed with tiny tucks run
and with a simple embroidery design
and we'll worked scalloped edges is far
more elegant and far more desirable
than the most elaborate silk creation
that could be shown.
