Wonderful CoIors In Special DYES
At an exclusive little tea-shop on the
Massachusetts Coast. was held in Au-
gust an exhibition of art negIigees''-
gorgeous affairs in specially dyed col
ors-and there was a dainty little
mannequin who slipped on these won
derful garments and made them dou-
bly, irresistible. The prices were stag
gering OF course, but not one of the
negligees was left over when the ex-
hibition ended. Some of the garments
were OF chiffon in two layers. the outer
layer batik-printed and the under lay
err in some deep, rich color that
showed through in striking effect. 9th
er negligees in this collection were of
liberty silk exquisitely dyed by a spe-
cial process so that the color deepened
toward the foot of the garment. A
model OF the sort was pale daffodil
yellow at the top and deep burnt
orange at the foot, and between were
a dozen shades of yellow and orange
so blended that it was impossible to
tell where one began and another left
off, This effect was shown also in
lustrous liberty silk negligee shading
from faint turquoise to peacock blue
and in another model shading from
flesh tint to American Beauty. These
peRklEGGS were A44G SllAl4f4SSS SAAASRAAS ~
sible-in cut. Just plain kimono lines
with a square neck opening and but
ton and loop fastening on one
shoulder. 1t was the soft. rich SILK
and the marvellous color effect that
made them so distinguished-and in
cidentally so expensive. for this sne-
cial dyeing process is a high art and
commands a high price
