Winsome Design

When the young brlde-to-be OF great
Igrandmothers day. with delighted fin-
gers. united the satin ribbons and
Folded back the dainty wrnpplngs and
held up TO admlring eyes the lavender
scented, sheer linen lingerie, so white
Band fresh with its embrolderies and
hemstitching, she must have said with
reason, Nothing lovelIer could be
made" Her great-granddaughter Of
today can say with even greater rea-
son, nothing lovelier can be made"
as she faces the bewildering choice
that meets her gaze.
Since lingerie of all sorts has be-
come an expression OF the talent of
the greatest artists OF the famous
Partisan houses designing clothes for
the wei.dressed woman. writes a
Paris fashion correspondent the
wealth OF Ideas. the fneness of work

the sheerness Of material, the sim
plicity and rich charm of the articles

tasic ingenuity Of more daring Gre
aiions, give ample choice for every
taste. but, alas not for every fortune.
A kings ransom OF other days would
seem mere bagatelle In comparison
with a single seasons lingerie bin for
the richly dressed woman OF today.
Never were silks softer or linens
OF finer texture, real laces used more
profusely or embrolderies more deity
done or tucks and plaits more charm

more cleveriy placed than In the amaz-
ing collections now awaiting mllady's
approval And never were prices
higher.

their Partisan clientele. Foremost
among the showing along this line wDs
the exhibition by weli-known arm OF
trousseaux executed for their private
clientele. These trousseaux were pc
euliarIy complete in that they included
table and bed linens. There were
tablecloths for formal occasions. rich
with deep borders OF nlet and Brus-
sells laces and beautiful embroidery In
bands and motifs. as well as scattered
designs. which frequently echoed the
pattern OF the lace. One cloth OF
heavy linen relied entirely upon mar
row hand-hemstitched bars. forming
Interesting oblong shapes. for Its deco
ration.
The tea cloths and luncheon sets
for more intimate occasions were be-
comingly OF finer texture, with lighter
Brussels aud finer hlet laces and EN-.
broiderles OF an almost unbelievable
llghtness OF tracery. as well as cloths
Of rose. yellow and orange linen EN-.
broidered In white. Especially inter
esting and novel tea cloths and nap
klns were made OF fine ecru handker-
chief linen. For decoration these had
applique borders In scrolls. conven-
tional circles or squares OF self-mate-
rial.
Among the bed linens. to American
eyes the peculiarly French, deep over
sheet, with It's florid embroidery and
monogram was OF special interest.
There were large, square pillowcases

pillowcnses and oversheets were OF
very simple design. having deep hem
stitched hens and the embroidered
monogram Of the bride-to-be.
