4 Among the many bridal trousseaus
that have been purchased during the
last five months, muslin undergarments
have held the vote Of popularity. Silk
things there have been. Of course (they
ore too beautiful to be lgnored), but
the thin muslin and linen things Intri-
cately handmade have received new
attention, so the dealers In these things
say.
Lace In the LlmslIuht
Lace is being used more and more
conspicuously for underclothes. You
will say that this has been done since
the beginning OF things, but@this new
lace Is Of wide bands and Is used in
great abundance. One sees the finer
sorts Of handmade laces inserted in
medallions on the new undergarments.
There are lace panels for chemises;
lace edgings, tive. SIX and seven inches
In depth. put on In slightly ruined
fiouncings; real lace tops for eamisoIes
and chemlses; lace sleeves and yokes
for night dresses lace in every con-
ceivable usage.
In fact the newer night dresses are
so elaborately done and so bedecked
with wide and expansive trimmings Of
lace that one can scarcely distinguish
them from the prevalent neglIgees.
There are linen night frocks trimmed
with Irish lace and laces Of other ex-
pensive and real varieties. One had
a yoke and sleeves Of ChnntIlly with
wide hand TO make the hem OF the
garment II was as beautiful as any
thing which has ever been shown In
the way Of lingerie and surely marks
a return to the lingerie that was done
In the trousseaus of our grandmOthers.
The silk and chiffon nIghtclothes
have not diminished In benuty nor In
quantity, and In spite OF the fact that
we hear how scarce these materials
have become there seems to be every
evidence Of plenty q sllken under
clothes for those who Gun afford them.
A new set Of chiffon underwear was
trimmed with satin bindings Of mar
row ribbon piRched over the edges and
many streamers Of the same color OF
ribbon (the sets were made In many
eolors) streaming from the places
where the ribbon was used TO tic the
garments into place =
Absence Of Buttons.
There seems TO be welcome abb
sence Of buttons ON all Of the newer
underwear. More and more the de-
signs appear with rubber hands and
loosely tied ribbons to hold them In
their proper positions. The easIer they
are to wear the less will we resent
the cost
Tailored underwear has come into
favor recently. and there Is. In CON
sequence, much Of that variety Of un.
derwear to be seen. There In much
10 be said In Its favor. for there nre
many women who. in the daily course
Of their lives. cannot stop to fuss with
ribbons and laces and rOsebuds. Still
they cling to that tendency which is
their right-the love o. dainty. soft
and luxurious underwear. II Is there
that the tailored silk underwear comes
into its own.
Following the pattern of the single
piece mems underwear there have been
some things like this designed for
wOmen's wear and they have won a
real response They are made Of fne
qualities OF silks md wash satins In
white or In flesh color and they have
never a flower nor a furbelow to be-
deck them. Then there are bloomers.
which have proved beyond doubt the
strength OF their hold upon the femi-
nine masses. They, are useful for wear
with tight skirts. which, to look their
best. demand that petticoats be thrown
into the discard. The bloomer has
come to stay and. In silk. II is an In
dispensable part Of the wardrobe Of
the modern womun.
