Many professional costumers. as well

too blindly a blazed trail, and there

be described as grotesque.
Too great haste is the arch enemy OF
beautifully and artistically designed
garments The stage artist who slaps
on paint at lightning speed displays
to his audience in a thrillingly brief
period something that passes muster as
picture. But. alas! only perspective
saves it. Eliminate the distance be-
tween audience and picture and disil-
lusionment is the result.
Clothes must stand close inspection.
Therefore every detail of design and
workmanship must be true to line.
These facts are especially true as
applied to garments of the severely
tailored or sport type. Sport apparel
must be well made IL 1t is to be smart

NOVELTIES IN LINGERIE FROM PARIS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 21.-The lingerie
that Is offered to tolerant world Is
positively amazing. Its vagaries have
gone beyond all the limits set for under
linen during the decades that it has
grown into so important an adjunct to
our costumes.
We have Acknowledged with some re-
gret that the fashions in lingerie swirl
around the points of the compass as
quickly as do those in our outer cos
tumery. There was a day when a BRIDE
elect could salt down into her wedding
chest a few dozen of each piece of I'M
derl,nen needed and feel assured that she
would be relieved of the burden of max
lue any more for several years to come.
Quality and sewing were the only things
considered. although a good pattern was
sought
Today there is no bride who would
allow herself to indulge in such extrava-
sance, for that is the name she would
give to the well filled chest of under
garments. 1t would not appeal to her
economic sense, for she has already
learned that she wants to buy new kinds
of lingerie once a year. If not twice.
If the making of Knockers. nightgowns
and chemises had been left to the home
dressmaker, as it was through many
ages there would have been fewer
changes in style. material and trim
ming, but this kind of work was taken
out of the hands of the amateur by the
large and small shops which began to
import great quantities of these gar
ments from Paris. copying them in such
wholesale quantities that they could sell
them to the public cheaper than the pub
lie could make them.
Machine VS.. Hand.
All the French lingerie Is hand made;
America is the continent of the machine.
France gave the inspiration for new
ideas and thousands of women in crowd
ed tenements bent over thousands of
machines to turn out cheap copies of
the imported garments.
Even when the women out of touch OF
large centers found that they could shop
by mail and bring to their homes the
newest kind of lingerie at a small cost,
they stopped making their garments at
home: and when the manufacturers of
underlinen found that the French diver
sity made a wide appeal to the Ameri-
can women. they began to work out
ideas of their own; and between the
two sets of workers. the two nations
and the American woman. that vast
variety OIL underSarmentS known as lin-
gerie arrived at high stage OF develop
ment.
There are still women who clamor for
the handmade garments. but there are
thousands of others who are quite con-
tent with those made by machine. II
they are we'll done
The French cannot understand how
any woman can wear a machlne-maoe
undergarment for their simplest class
of people see to it that the needle in the
hand does the work. and not the needle
in the machine. for the good reason that
machines are a rarity in France outside
of the dressmaking places and the we'll

Such arguments as these have given
way to a frantic desire for new models
and for the introduction of new ma
terials into underwear. and to a struggle
by the designers to offer garments that
are more and more bizarre.

that were set upon such garments by
