Odd Design And Color
Mark New Lingerie

A breezy little letter from a New
York fashion writer, which has Just
come to the desk Of the society editor,
brings just q bit Of gossip about
lingerie-always a subject Of interest
to those Of the feminine persuasion.
This is a part of the letter:
THE really chic person has her
lingerie cut and fitted with the same
care that her frocks and suits are.
possess that perfect silhouette so that
the outer garments may conform with
theAlatest whim Of fashion without
the awkwardness of an ill-fitting
something underneath. For the
woman who can afford to pay lavish
prices for these reminders of the
charms of feminine loneliness, there
are a variety Of models on sale in the
shops for the month Of January. But
which artNN'ade by hand, and the
home dress$aker may find ample OPP
portunity to'sxpress her individuality
when she makes her own.
There are so many dainty touches
which may be added. such as tiny
/. buds and frills of lace and even bits
Of fur. These ultra-fancy affairs are
Of course INDUCED in only for dressy
occasions. 1t would be quite hopeless
for the woman of moderate means to
attempt the daily wear of these fine
and perishable things. And W those
which are wornSbut infrequently must
be kept with the>greatest of care. IT
the fabric will not stand washing,
benzine should be applied to the satin
straps and a little powdered magnesia
to the lace. They should be aired and
! pressed and. then laid away with the
utmost care in a perfunned box or
drawer, and when the next time to
wear them comes, they will be as
fresh as when they were new.
"a daring contrast is the M that
has been attempted, that of dainty
fesh-colored Georgette crepe with
black silk embroidery and black silk
cords. This creation, the creation be-
ing an envelope chemise. has the flesh
Georgettc as the foundation. The up
per part which forms the camisole is
almost entirely covered with these
weird black motifs. Around the waist
is a silk cord of black. and over it all
is a black net thing cut on the same
lines as the chemise and merely slip
ped on as an afterthought. =
"The idea of two colors in lingerie
is highly favored. One Of the leading
shops has an attractive window which
is filled with undergarments Of a deli
cate blue and yellow. The ribbon,
which is used to trim them, is a
double-faced ribbon which is blue on
one side and yellow on the other. .Es-
pccially in boudoir caps may this play
with colors be enjoyed"
Friends here will be much inter.
