the boudoir is the loveliest
y L frame for beauty, after all
with its pale. satin hung walls. 1t:
ivory toned furniture and its chaise
Tongue heaped with fairy cushions Sc
lected artfully TO form the most har-
monious background for her ncgli-
gees
This enhancing frame for beauty
costs a small fortune all in ITSELF in
deed the furnishings Of a modern
boudoir, the wage of the accom-
plished maid who presides over it and
it's accompaniment Of exquisite negli-
gees, peignoirs, fascinating sacques
and caps; and these luxurious weara-
bles in themselves represent a sum
that would dress an average woman
richly and well for an entire year.
Perhaps the loveliest Of all the
lovely teagowns pictured, is the trail
ing model Of brocaded crepe and ORR
entail lace, the two fabrics blending
into each other in a classic harmony
of line. The crepe is faint jade green
in tone and the lace cream colored
The tasseled scarf OF tulle which out
lines the neck and falls in n straight
end at the back is a mixture of Jade
green and orchid tints and the tassel'
are silver. These heavy silver tasscls
pulling down the tulle scarf in straight
lines, help to give the negligee Its
wonderful classic grace The cream
lace drapery which forms the uppel
part of the garment is appiqucd tt
the Jade brocade and the heavier
fabric drags down the filmy lace II
the sweeping lines pictured. Undcl
the cream lace is q lining of cream
net.
Negligees Are Longer Than Frocks.
There are a few saucy boudoil
gowns with faring, abbreviated skirts
but not many. The unwritten Law
of the boudoir gown is that it sha'
be long and sweeping and graceful
rather than short and saucy, and mos
of the teagowns and peignoirs con
form to this unwritten law. Only on
