| New York. May 13.-There is some
thing particularly appealing to the
dainty, well-groomed woman about
ribbon on-trimmed. be-frilled petticoats;
! they cannot be banished for long from
the wardrobe. This season the petit
coat has returned in all its old-time
flufflness to keep our airy. boutfant
frocks in countenance.
| Paris sends us, OF course. the dainti-
est possible of linen. hand-embroid-
cred, lace-trimmed. ribbon banded
novelties. many of them so extremely
fascinating that one is tempted to
wear the sheerest of organdy, chiffon
or Georgette fr0cks in order that their
beauty may be shown. Many of these
petticoats are boned. corded or wired,
( in order that the frocks, under which
/ they are worn. may have the proper
swing For the dance there are net
and taffeta creations. made with petal
upon petal, in rose-like formation, the
edges of the petaled ruffles pinked or
| picoted For the organdy afternoon
frock the slip is favored, of net and
organdy. lace and ribbon-trimmed.
The bodice of the slip is usually a
straight, wide band of ribbon, lace, or
dainty embroidery flouncing, held in
place with shoulder straps of ribbon or
lace. Ii is not unusual to see frilly
petticoat of dark blue or red taffeta,
the ruffles Npinked and finished with
an inset or edge of white Valenciennes
or similar lace edge.
The underbodice, TO keep pace with
the petticoat, must be very dainty in
deed. In a dark blue taffeta petit
coat, the skirt portion is attached at
the normal waist-line to a pale pink
moire bodice. The bodice is merely a
straight band of MORE ribbon held ov-
er the shoulders by narrow pink rib
bons. The upper edge of the bodice
is effectively trimmed with small silk
| rosebuds.
One of the novelties Of the season Is
the breakfast set. consisting of coat,
petticoat and boudoir cap. The coat
and skirt illustrated here show par
ticularly good combination: the coat
is developed in pongee, and the skirt
is of taffeta, banded in the same taf-

Valenciennes lace. The deep strap
pockets on the coat give it the ap-
pearance of a sport garment. A
charming little cap of net and ribbon
completes the set most attracuvely.
Many of these sets are developed in
plain materials, voile, wash satin, lawn
and the. like, and are trimmed with
bands collars, cuffs and pockets of
the charmingly colored cretonne. A
cap banded in cretonne is practical
and becoming.
Negligees and pettiooats for the
June bride are dainty and fascinating
to n degree. The negligees are SIM
pie and most becoming. Chiffon or
crepe Georgette are the materials most
favored for these airy garments. des-
tined for the bride or the woman who
has time to luxuriate in their charm.
Pale blue. with touches of gold or yell
low; rose pink, with touch of orchid
at girdle or throat: white, with pale
green, and similar combinations Sc
lected to harmonic with eyes and
hair. 1t is not unusual to find the
negligee of chiffon. belted with 4
crush girdle of roses. or other arti-
ficial flowers; it Is an attractive and
artistic notion The combining of sew
eral tones in the girdle, which is usual
ly of net or chiffon, is another pretty
way of introducing interesting COM
binations; for instance, pale pink
negligee is girdled with a wide sash,
having long ends of several folds of
vari-colored net or maline. In pink,
blue, orchid and similar French coll
orings.
For sports and morning wear the
awning striped materials, linens,
ducks and canvas weaves are particu-
larly we'll liked. The stripes may run
up and down, or around the figure,
as shown here This skirt is fash
toned of linen. combining several of
the vivid colors now modish, and is
worn with a shirt blouse of voile. with !
vest of the linen. The square neck is
a becoming feature.
Among the simple waist models of
the summer are many with the outside
peplum. These are of yoile, organdy |
or Georgette. in pink, blue, pale green |
and similar shades. intended for wear
with skirts of black taffeta or with !
white and colored wash skirts. Pom
gee is also favored for these outside |
blouses. Tiny buttons, steel, gilt or
gunmetal, and a belt of black or col |
ored ribbon are about the only trim
ming for these unless it be second /
collar of contrasting shade.
Collars and cuffs are interesting de-
tails of blouses; the cliffs usually fit
tightly about the wrist. flaring becom-
ingly over the hands. The open throat
is, of course, the modish arrangement 1
for summer, although most of the 4
shirt-waists and other blouses are
made with the adjustable collar which
may be worn high or low. as fancied. |,
