most Of Il is generally accepted because Il
IS realized that prudery must yield some
thing 20 hygiene, good lines and comfort.
In the latest underwear displays, one
reads a foreword Of fashions TO come, for
everywhere is the straight line and slender
silhouette emphasized. On some models,
features emphasized on dresses and other
-outer garments are used, such as
heightened peplums or tunics, but these
take the place Of some other article.
Frequently, in the new lingerie, one finds
the advantageous features Of two or more
garments pooled in an attractive and
simple combination. There is, for instance,
an adorable little design that embodies
in one a camisole, petticoat and bloomers.
Il is designed in such an unpretentious
manner that all difficulties for the home
dressmaker are eliminated. The COM
bination closes at the back, the dart-htted
camisole having a deep, round neck. II
preferred, the shoulder straps may be
omitted and the neck cut square, ribbon
being slipped over the shoulders. The
only trimming on the garment Is border
Of eyelets about the neck, armholes and
one-piece tunic, or petticoat. For the
edging a fine picot lace is used. The
bloomers and petticoat are attached to the
lower edge Of the camisole.
Il is possible, perhaps, to find the most
subtle expression Of sweet simplicity in
boudoir robes, many Of which are fashioned
Of soft albatross in white or pastel shades.
Others are developed in tub silk, satin,
crepe de Chine, etc, but the silk and wool
mixtures Of light weight are quite as
satisfactory. A lovely negligee Of pastel
pink albatross commands attention be-
cause Of its independence Of contrasting
trimming There is a ruffie about the neck
and large armholes, il is true, but the
rufle is Of self-material, the hem being
stitched in with long stitches OF self-tone
silk. A narrow sash is slipped through
slashes in front and back and tied at the
! front in careless fashion Reproduced IN
batiste and trimmed with frills Of net, this
negligee would be charming also.
A nightie that makes bedtime some
thing TO anticipate with pleasure, is made
Of very fine nainsook and trimmed with
hand embroidery. The garment is drawn
closely in Empire effect with ribbon in
serted through a casing. Both front and
back Of the short waist are cut in N-shape
the pointed shoulders being held together
with satin ribbon. The embroidery is a
simple floral spray, worked in white
mercerized cotton in solid satin and stem
stitches.
Devotees Of the pajama might prefei
a model in delicate lavender cotton crep'
having the little Chinese coat trimmed
, about the armholes with imitation file
, lace. The lower edges of the coat are hem
stitched as are the hens in the pajama
themselves. The paiama hens are cutell
turned up, because with such a daint'
garment It is conceded that the sandal
will be equally attractive and should hav
show"
Filet medallions, delicately patternel
and oddly shaped, give an air Of unusua
charm to a brassiere Of stout linen an
cotton mixture. The medallions ar
stitched on either side Of the front an
back Of the brassiere, the shoulder strap
being Of blue satin ribbon. Designer
employ great ingenuity in the develop
ment Of brassieres and the pantalette
G that so frequently are displayed wit
}. them. IL is well to make them in sets, io
= the clever handling Of yard Of medallion
h will make them cover an incredible amour
n of silk or linen background.
