Mode in Negligees
BEAUTIFUL tea gown or negligee, whether it be fol
 formal or informal wear,

more formal character from an af- ternoon or evening gown.
 Callot adheres to long and slender lines in negligees. One of her loveli- est models-a draped affair of velvet brocaded chiffon in a burnt orange hue-features back hood drapery in addition to drapery at the hips. She trims the shoulders as we'll as the bottom of the skirt with marrow bands of squirrel dyed brown to blend with the orange-colored chif- ion.
 | The same designer has created many models from uncut strips of material by cleverly draping them to the figure from the shoulder to the opposite hip, allowing the ends to form an uneven train.
 The materials employed for the new tea gowns are elaborate. Much is being made of brorades, particu- larly metallic and velvet brocaded chiffons. soft velvets, either plain, crushed or printed, as well as heavy silks, are in evidence, These ma terials lend themselves well to the more graceful and dignifed draped models.
 Trailing Lace Scarfs
 Form Negligee Sleeves THE wrap type of negligee with one-side effect has taken firm hold. For these a plain fabric ire quently is combined with printed or brocaded one, the contrast of the material accentuating the one-side effect. For instance, sleeve and half of the body portion of the gar ment may be of brocaded velvet and may overlap the other half, which is of a plain velvet.
 Sleeves are quite as much fea ture in tea gowns as in dresses. In fact, there is an even greater diver sity of design. Many of the newest models feature lace scarfs which cover the arms and trail on the ground. Others are formed by clever draperies or by lace cape. The lat ter is distinctly of Spanish origin. One tea gown featuring this type / of sleeve is of white satin. A black Chantilly lace cape reaches to the 1 hips and is edged with black more ribbon which ties in bracelet effect at the wrists.
 Lace oftentimes is combined with velvet. Margarine Lacroix makes ] 5tately black velvet model with this sort of arm covering. She uses blac!s lace for jabots at either side of tlaa skirt as we'll as for the sleeves. Vivid Velvet Models
 Feature White Rabbit
 WHITE lace is charming when combined with silver brocade or silver cloth. One of the newesT French imports has shawl of white lace draped over a silver cloth foundation, the shawl covering the arms and forming drapery over the bodice. Strands of jet beads relieve the plainness of the skirt.
 In striking contrast to these scmher black and black and white models are the brocaded velvets in bright reds and greens trimmed with white rabbit, which also is often used as lining, and for large col lars and cuffs.
 Madeleine ct Madeleine Nave launched several new and interest ing things il robes d'interieur. These are of a somewhat formal character, having separate coats and skirts, the former in the Louis XV and Louis XVI. styles. The coats are of brilliant hued velvets and the accompanying skirts, which are full and flaring, of metal lace.
 A smart and interesting costume from this house has three-quar- ters length, double breasted coat of bright red broadcloth made on slender lines and cut away in Direc- toire style. It closely resembles an English pink hunting coat. It is accompanied by closely draped
