stiffly starched and plain, as in the | good old days, when endurance was | the chief demand, practically do not | exist in these days. Any woman can call to mind the | severe undecorated garments of her | mothers day, starched so they | scratched one ugly, uninterestingly l plain. Since woman's heart has al 1 ways delighted in pretty attractive | lingerie, she had discarded those old stiff ideas. and now wears soft silks and linens, georgettes and Italian | silks. Corsets, too have long since yield ] ed to the popular and sensible de- l mand for comfort. Many are made 1 with inserts of elastic with few bones. or entirely of elastic. This < year has brought out a. soft garment called a corselette. combining bras siere and corset, to be worn at home when a real corset is not required. ; One of the novelties in this gar ment is a corset made of silk braid in flesh pink. The braid is stitched where the bone castings are. but free in between. Another new little idea 1t boasts is the use of flat pearl but tons on tabs of the braid. Wide lace trims the lower edge of this dainty affair. Another corset was no wider than sash. To be sure, it combined satin and tricot in flesh pink. but it really supported garters, that's all.
 Variety of Styles
 Bodices and brassieres are simply amending in profusion of styles and combinations of lace. silks and rib bons. An Italian silk brassiere is one of these. Very popular are the hand embroidered net bodices, with lovely little flowers of silk in pastel tints, reposing gracefully on filet lace as if they enjoyed their part in the charm of the whole.
 The bride who will be choosing her trousseau will surely have a thrilling time. One wonders how she can ever come to a decision. One set her heart will demand at once, for it seems to want to belong especially to her. It must have been the de- mure orange blossoms that gave it away
 Not content to have matching bod ice, bloomers, chemise and step-in drawers it must needs add cap. This last trifle~ was nothing but clever ribbon coronet with knots of orange blossoms trailing loops of rib bon at each end. F'ilet insertion with pointed edge graces all the dainty parts to this whole. each one of which proudly wears it's knot of orange blossoms and white ribbons.
 Irresistible Lingerie
 
 have their own breathless interest. Could any woman resist raspberry confection of filet and georgette, combining a filet strapped chemise with step-in bloomers? Or will she rather be intrigued by a white Ital- ian silk set of bloomers and vest striped with blue? The top of tlfe chemise wears a yoke of blue crepe de chine.
 Breakfast coats for morning wear -pajamas for the night, and negii- gees any time between, each hour of the day demands its own lingerie
 For morning there is a wide choice among pretty coats of taffeta, changeable silks, pussy willows, crepe de chine and embroidered muslin. for tracing the table when husband wants his morning coffee. But just one moment. One cunning new lit- tie garment will not be overlooked and that is a black and white noisily checked bathrobe. Before she ap pears at the table she will have hung up this kimono- shaped affair with it's wide band of yellow. all made of nothing less than bath toweling.
 Faneiful Pajamas
 Pajamas for milady started out quite simply, following the lines of those for men. But they just couldn't stay that way. Oh, no. And why
 
 for material, especially crepe de chine, and added tucks and laces and things until, behold, this charming set. It tried to be simple and squar- ish and all. It hemmed its coat oi pink crepe de chine with tucks oi georgette, that turned a square cor ner running up the front, too The collars and cuffs were of tucked ma terial, not emitting those on the trousers.
 Another pajama set would be fine for travelling. It decided on grey crepe de chine, piping itself on al pockets with coral. A round collal xof coral finished neck, and all it. suffs, too.
 Negligees look good enough to eat 1 princess slip had slipped among hem, demanding to be noticed. yas made of white net gathered a he waist with a wide pink ribbon il casing. Again at the hem the pinl dbbon lurked in it's casing, edged with a wide ruffle of the net Beau iful hand embroidery decorated thu bodice in a triangular motive, re peated again at the hem in front
 Of these two negligees, which, vii . you choose? One is pink crepe d chine, the other hand embroideret net with filet insertion. The net on conceals, but partly a dainty slip o pink silk. with accordeon- pleate' skirt sa shed with blue.
