TN THE engrossing business Of Sc
i Iecting clothes for spring, women
concern themselves first with their
outer apparel; hats, wraps, suits,
dresses lead off in the procession Of
new things made ready for the advent
of summer. Negligees can afford to
come last. 1t is their mission to be
beautiful and comfortable within the
four walls of home and their fascina-
lions are never overlooked. Some of
their designers pay little attention to
the seasons; 1t is always summer
time with them-but others remember
there is such a thing as chilly wealth
er occasionally, even indoors. The
new negligees include many lovely
things made Of sheer materials and
there is a good representation of heav-
Ter goods. They are all made up into
graceful garments in which clever
draping Is the dominant style note.

For the most beautiful negligeeS de
signers begin with geOrgette crepe, Oh
crepe de chine and lace. The handsome
negligee pictured takes advantage of a
beautiful color in geOrgette, lays the
material in plaits and Grapes it in
long lines. A sash of very wide soft
ribbon is brought across the front OF
it ending in a loop under the sleeve
drapery at the left side. The trans
parent goods make opportunities for
posing one color over another, sand
negligeeS may be as colOrful and fan
ciful as butterflies.
Now that oriental modes have SC
great an influence in fashions, many
of the new models in negligees are
made of georgette or crepe de chine
with coats and trousers. Many OF
them are in vivid colors, as peacock
and turquoise blue, rose, jade or EN-
erald green.
