mousseline that holds the various
parts in place and the wide girdle is
becoming to most figures. The model
could of course be copied in a variety
Of materials. For immediate wear,
it would be pretty of tatfeta with
Georgette crepe and the edges of the
hounces banded with narrow velvet
ribbon while the bodice is made Of
the crepe with taffcta for the eirdlc
and collar and the little chemisctte
of chiffon.

A FASHIONABLE NECLICEE

The negligee that gives the Empire
line is always becoming and
graceful one. Here is a model which
also suggests the bolero idea that Is
so fashionable just now. 1t is a very
smart garment, a thoroughly CONF
Portable garment, a becoming gar
ment and withal such simple gar
ment that any home dressmaker can
make it without the least little bit of
trouble. As it is shown here, it is made
of one of the pretty Oriental silks that
are so we'll adapted to such uses, but
it could be copied in albatross to be
very pretty, in silk crepe de chine
or in crepe combining silk with wool
or it could be copied in one of the still
thinner and lighter cotton fabrics.
Cotton wolfe would make up charm
ingly in this way or Powered cotton
crepe, and there are indeed SO many
lovely fabrics that the only difficulty
is to make selection. If something
more elaborate is wanted, lace frills
can be arranged over the neck and
sleeve edges but just as it is here, the
negligee is very attractive and at the
same time essentially practical, a
combination not always to be found.

and most becoming shoulder lines that
can be obtained, and the high Empire
waist line is singularly attractive with
a frill below, this frill giving the
breadth to the hips that is an all-im-
portant feature of the present season.

to every day use but if in place of
staying the. shirrings, a casing were

late the size it could be converted to
