The Fashion

l wonder If there is anything more
appealing TO the average woman than
the soft fluffy details we call lingerie?
No matter how plain they are, II
there is a touch Of handwork and a
dainty ribbon or 50 they are attractive.
Now that silk and satin have invated
this realm where linen and cotton
reigned supreme there is no limit to
the possibilities.
The narrow silhouette, which is
the prevailing one according to Mad
am Mode, demands underwear built on
narrow lines. The frillest petticoats
must be limited in width and the
of ruffles carefully counted or
one will be that horrible thing, un-
fashionable"
