the top OF the garments and edging or
narrow valenciennes lace. Others,
more elaborate in character, were ex-
tensively embroidered, and all were
trimmed with deep edgings OF real
lace, binche or valenciennes.
Lingerie this season is cut with spe-
cial relation to the type and silhouette
of the outer garment, which explains
the enormous vogue of black under
wear, made of triple wolfe. These gar
ments are sometimes plain with the
exception of an arrangement Of very
narrow plaits, or are edged, top and
bottom, with sixinch band of cob
webby black lace or embroidered tulle.
Nine. Jenny has most original ideas
for combinations, of which the cor
sage is cut in high point in the cen
ter front. From this point two rib
bons go over the shoulders and hold
up the back. Another variation OF the
conventional shoulder ribbons is OBJ
tanned by crossing these on the back.
The backless chemise, brought in by
the backless decolletage, frequently
has an amusing triangular motif or
silver lace set into the front, which
softens to some extent the outrageous
ly deep v decolletage of the dress.
Unique Designs for Less Conservative.
A new item in lingerie has made its
appearance, namely, the hip belt. made
of double pink chiffon, which is worn
to keep up the uncorseted figure from
too greatly straining the seams or the
new tightly draped dresses.
1t is astonishing how closely styles
in underwear follow those in dresses.
This is especially true since the great
French dressmaking houses are CIV
ing almost as much prominence to
lingerie as they are to outer garments.
A reflection of the craze for plait-
ing seen in our dresses last summer
is in the new modes of lingerie for
this spring. Straight garments on the
order Of the princess slip, always
much worn by French women, are in
solid plating, whether the slip be of
fine white linen, silk or some of the
more perishable materials that appear
to find great favor among women who
do not hold to conservative under
wear. In nightgowns we hare the
1880 yoke and puff sleeve so much
featured recently in girls frocks.
Quite fantastic in design and colors
are the new models in lingerie for the
less conservative woman of fashion.
These are of crepe-de-chine, triple
wolfe or colored linen in white.
trimmed with color or in solid color
with the garniture in contrasting
shade.
Among some new designs in French
lingerie are elaborate models in closed
drawers. The new models are Of the
closed drawer style. All the drawers
are mounted on an elastic band and
slip on like Knockers.
Triple wolfe in both white and col
ors is a favorite material for under
clothes of this type.
On a model of fine white linen with
yalenciennes lace trimmings the lace
is in the form of insertion and edglng,
the former being used as border de-
sign extending up the sides and join
ing the two sections in place of an
ordinary seam, while the latter forms
little tiers of ruffies on the sides just
below the band of insertion.
Another model in white linen with
incrusted motifs of white valen-
ciennes lace is cut in one piece and
barred by ladder-stitch embroidery,
the effect Of panels. Each panel at
the bottom is cut into deep points, the
edges of which are scalloped. Be
tween these two pointed panels are
diamond-shaped medallions of the va
Tenderness lace. These again appear
in each panel half way up the garment.
