dance of funds to put in such pretty
.trif1es. Paris is constantly designing
exquisite new boudoir robes, and
dozens of lovely models are being
turned out by designers over here.
Current fashions do not have to be as
religiously followed as in frocks and
tailored wearables, and so long as a
tea gown or a boudoir gown conforms
to prevailing lines, it may be as orig
inal as it pleases and may be fash
toned of almost any fabric and in al
most any color. Designers draw in
spiration from many ideals, the Dr.
rectoire, the Greek, the Persian, the
Indian, the Roman-and so on. The
more strikingly original and differ
ent'' boudoir costume, the more it
appeals to women on the lookout for
such effects.
The woman who cannot afford to
spend lavish sums on boudoir wear
can achieve charming negligees with
a little thought and effort, but she
will be put to good deal more trou-
BILE than the lucky one who has only
to order what appeals to her fancy.
The prime requisite of a weekend
negligee Is handsome material-and
plenty of it. Such negligee must

as imperative as a correct sport cos

now, it is almost impossible to achieve
a presentable boudoir gown out of a
discarded party frock; one must have
lengths Of supple, lustrous brocade or
satin, and yards and yards Of lace or
chiffon for the drapery.

emphasized by a narrow silk embroid-

and deep armholes are finished in the

Choosing the Luggage

~ o you realize that this is the
81 H year Of years to buy trunks?
# Everything else seems to have
~ advanced in price, but trunks
are offered at attractive figures. OF
course, the reason for this is that most
people are rather undecided about
their summer outings. No one is 60
ing abroad these days unless stern
necessity demands; and a good many
more people are staying right at home
About half as many trunks and travel
ing bags are probably being purchased
as is the case in ordinary times and
naturally prices for luggage are be-
ing made attractive.
If one can afford It one can hegc a
stunning wardrobe trunk of vulcanized
fibre with brass studding and trim
mings, with lining of lowered Gre
tonne in some enchanting color COM
bination. Inside will be several draw
ers. one fitted with a lock for the ex-
ira safeguarding of valuables, and
there will be garment hangers on
racks and a spacious hat receptacle.
Such a trunk will cost from thirty
two to fifty dollars. For about twenty
five dollars one may secure a slightly
less spacious wardrobe trunk with five
drawers, two of which may be con-
yerted into hatbox. A good looking
dress trunk, trunk for which one

the casing, with white satin. For the
hat. a supple brimmed model of white
erin was selected, and band of the
white satin ribbon was turned over
the edge of the brim and stitched in
place. The little moss roses and stems
are massed around the crown, to
match the effect on the reticule, and
a soft bow of white satin ribbon lies
along the brim and partly over the
roses on one side of the hat. Could
anything be lovelier than this hat and
bag combination with summer frock

compan1ed by high heeled white
pumps OFF, one prefers to be very
formal and smart-white buttoned

A black straw hat might be trimmed
with white gardenias and banded at
the edge with white grosgrain ribbon;
and matched by a bag of white gros-
grain ribbon and gardenias-a very
distinctive accessory combination this
would be for a frock of dark blue fou-
lard silk. Or the black hat might be
wreathed with yellow posies and the
bag be of yellow ribbon with black
fowers-if ones frock were a black
and white foulard, or a white wolfe
spotted with yellow dots. A white hat
wreathed with green leaves and a
white bag with green leaves applied
fatty to the foundation, would make
another attractive combination. Many
ideas will occur to the woman who

has a summer costume to match in
one of these new accessory
lions.
A bag, hat and scarf of printed vel
vet are showed in another illustra-
ton. The velvet is in rich blue
shade like the lovely blue of Imari
pottery, and the pattern Is distinctly
japanese also-white on the blue
ground. The scarf is merely long
strip of the velvet, lined with pale
gray satin; the bag is lined with the
same satin and has draw-string,
handles of gray taffeta ribbon The
mushroom hat is covered fatty with
the velvet and a three-cornered piece
of velvet is twisted around the high
crown and drawn over at one side to
the brim's edge where the tasse1 is at
tached. There are tasse1s also on bag
and scarf and these very striking ad-
ditions to the set are Of gray silk.
To make the scarf, cut a yard and
quarter of velvet in half 1engthwise
and seam the pieces together making
the scarf two and a half yards long.
The scarf is not wide, as you see
not more than half the width of the
velvet. If you prefer the whole scarf

Knitted accessory-combinatio are
very much the vogue and if girl can
spare time from knitting for the SOL
diers and sailors. she is going to make
for herself a bag, jumper and hat
band combination for wear with sport
dresses. Some Of these sets are in
solid color; others show variegated
color effects, and as in all knitted be-
Iongings this season, purling seems to
be the smart thing. Everybody has
grown tired Of sweaters and scarves
in plain knitting which was so easy
that sweaters were being turned out
by the half dozen by speedy If mac
curate feminine knitters during a
summer; so purling was taken up for
the sake of variety-and to make knit
ting more of a skilled art. Purling
may be learned by anybody-the trick
is not difficult of acquirement-but
purling takes time. No woman can
knit a purled sweater in two weeks
unless she has unlimited leisure and
is phenomenally quick with her fin
gers. The accessory denominations of
sweater, hat-band and bag, show
plain knitting and purling in contrast
ed effect; the sweater purled at waist

effect. and the bag purled at the top

lVSP TISSUE

Sunday morning - to paraphrase
Harry Lauder, is the weekend neg
ligee of Paisley chiffon. These Per-
sian gowns of sheer fabric printed in
Paisley pattern are very much the fad
just now. and the gayer and richer
the coloring, the better from a fash
ionable standpoint The gown pic
tured is of Paisley chiffon in Persian
blue, rose, flesh pink and mauve shad-
ings with a Deep, doubled hem of
Persian blue chiffon applied under; a
band of narrow silver braid. This
colorful garment, gathered under the
arms in Empire fashion, is worn over
a straight slip of accordion pleated
crepe in a shade of soft pinkish hello
trope which seems to bring out the
combination of blue rose and mauve
in the Paisley pattern The veil
headdress, posing as a breakfast cap,
is of chiffon in the blue, rose and
mauve colorings of the negffgee.
PantaIet Peignoirs OF Rich Brocade
A good many of the smart negligees
designed for weekend wear are in
the bifurcated style. They are saucy.
daring, coQuettish, rather than grace
full; for classic, clinging lines and
trailing fabrics seem loveliest and
most appropriate for boudoir wear al
ways. But when women are wearing
! breeches for horseback riding. overalls
for gardening and very frank trousers
with new preparedness uniforms, there
seems to be no reason in the world
| for discriminating against bifurcated
boudoir garb. The trousers will not
be seen outside the house, in this in
stance-and that Is one thing to be
grateful for! "A new negligee in the
tunic and panta1et style is pictured;
both parts of the costume made of
very rich white satin brocade and
the tunic having neck and sleeve frills
of handsome lace. A gathered trim
ming of mousseline such as finishes
the pantalets at the ankle, is set over
and under the lace sleeve frills where
it joins the sleeves, giving a very
pretty and rather new effect for this
sort of sleeves. The tunic has a cir
cular cut so that it falls in soft folds
below the hip where knotted girdle
of crystal beads holds the garment
close to the figure. The decidedly
fetching cap is of ciel blue taffeta and
white lace. with a corded bow set
across the front.

supple texture, more clinging than
satin. The negligee is gathered to
narrow yoke at the top but it's full
ness is controlled under bands of the
silk weighted with turquoise bead EN-
broidery. These bands fall from
shoulder to ankle at back and front
of the arm, and from neck to hip at
center back and front of the negligee.
There is also belt of the bead-em-
broidered trimming. The sleeves. are
draped lengths of white chiffon,
thrown over the arm and drawn back
in folds into a deep armhole, at the
belt line. The looping up of the skirt
at either side makes necessary a pet
ticoat of the white chiffon which
peeps beneath the negligee. An odd
and captivating cap accompanies this
robe of classic lines. piquant little
French cap of white Val lace, pulled
out at the back and tied under the
couture with narrow streamers of tur-
quoise satin ribbon. This gown, a
model from Jeanne Hallee, has been
reproduced also in flesh pink silk with
coral bead embroidered band trim
mings and in pure white satin with
embroidery of pearl beads.
Luxurious. Petticoats Match Pretty

Less impressive in line than the
classic negligees just described but
quite as fetching in its coquettish

taste in evolving attractive small be-
longings in dress. Take the ribbon
and flower reticule, for instance-and
the graceful hat which accompanies
it; these pretty accessories could
easily be fashioned at home and the
idea admits of many notifications
and adaptations. The bag in the pic
ture is of white satin ribbon, friIIed
very slightly over a. foundation of

tion-pag is long ana narrow, the bot

stems winding in and out of the flow

red, white and blue combination.
At the races in May, some very au-
thoritatively dressed women wore
sailor hats banded with dotted fou-
lard, and a parasol of foulard matched
the hat-band. One costume of beige
colored mohair and worsted was ac-
companied by blue and white dotted
foulard parasol and a sailor of black
lisere straw had a draped band of thu

Checkerboard Voiles
Worn In Paris

- UMMER frocks for Parisians are
of wolfe. of lawn and of organdy
~ delicately printed in color. In
the voiles, crossbarred and
checkerboard patterns are the fav-
'orites, and there are some dotted eff
fects, particularly chic. Many of
these frocks show combinations of
plain voils with the figured. fabric;
for example a frock of checkerboard
wolfe will have trimmings of white
wolfe; and a costume of plain white.
