Colors Become More Varied

The coIors of the new undertakings
become more and more varied. The
tradition of white for purposes Of this
sort has almost vanished. Now, any
pastel shade is used and the more un-
usual it is the better. We have seen
the outer effects of black and red and
orange underclotFes and marvelled at
them, but, nevertheless. we have set
tied back into a casual acceptance of
colored underwear as an everyday pos
sibility In chiffon and in crepe de
chine and satin the colors vary through
all tones and shades. and even inA the
cotton materials there is seen every
variety of tone.
On the tinted underclothes there is
much use of embroidery in silk threads,
In wooden threads, in mercerized
stitches and even in colored cotton en-
broidery stitchings. 1t is considered
much better to form an edge by but
tonholing of some contrasting shade
than to resort TO the old method of,
just making hem. Then there are
the long wooden stitches which show
to their best advantage on the thin
chiffon things.

From underwear to negligee is bcit
a slip, and it does seem as though we
are paying more attention to the grace
full and becoming robes d'interieur
which so long have been a necessary
part of the wardrobe of a French wo-
man. Never before have we showr
such interest in the gowns which are
for private appearance only.
The lines of the new negligees are
simple enough, but the trimmings grow
more gorgeous as one season melts In.
to another. On the newest ones there
are layers of chiffon so constructed
that the things look only like floating
clouds. Every trick and scheme is re-
sorted to that the garment may be
lightness itself. Lace is used lavishly.
Sometimes it constitutes the overdress
and then again it is used for the foun-
dation slip so that only suggestion
of it's loneliness shines through the
OVERLAPPING chiffon Silk lace trims the
edges of other chiffon negligees, being
carried around the long lines of the
outer edges and giving the effect of
something not quite tangible in its
elusiveness.
