BREAKFAST COAT VS.. KIMONO
coming and Excellent as
Pullman Robe.

Simplicity is the rule i'm the hest
undergarments shown this season. and
fine sheer cottons are extremely popu-
lar.
Negligees and boudoir apparel shown
for fail and winter adhere to simDTic-
ity in line, although rather gorgeous
materials are liked. Printed chiffons
and georgettes and the lovely printed
silks in soft weaves are used for
breakfast coats. which are USUALLY
untrimmed except for rulings OF self
fabric or ribbon.
The breakfast coat. generally n gar
ment with n long. plain upper section
reaching about to the hips. and a gath
cred or plated skirt attached, making
il full figure length, is an excellent
Pullman robe. The wOman who Wpcrs
one for travelling looks much more pra-
sentable i'm the early morning than
when she dOnS q kimOnO. A matching
bandeau or boudoir cap Is not q bad
investment. Nearly all the more elab-
crate negligees shown are equipped
with boudoir caps to match. Some
three-piecc sets, negligee. bOudoir cap
and chemise. made of shaded chiffon.
