From the ends of the earth come messengers bringing with them un- derwear of every sort. From Belfast and Londonderry come the sheerest of linens. Paris contributes even more than her usual assortments of loveliness, and said old China is send- ing of her richest silks and embroid- erie that Miss Occident may robe herself as picturesquely as does her little almond sister of the Kingdom Celestial. And be it known right here that no trouble and pains are be- ing spared to make beautiful these lounging robes
 When madame does prefer her Hn- gerie simple she likes it very simple. sometimes so plain that it is nothing hort of tailored and the vest and knickers unadorned save that a strip of embroidery of a narrow edging of lace has been a most popular creation, of the winter. .-
 When it comes to the nightie, thera are any number of ways fin which thsy are made different, the one from: the other. Not infrequently tho waistlfne is of the Empire persuasion marked with beading or insertions 0f lace or beribbed eyelets or it may be the sleeves, kimono set in. short and puffy. bell-like, or represented by a shirring of lace or net that are re- sponsible for the robes individuality.

Dressing for the part! How often we hear the expression and yet how seldom some of us stop to consider that this is one of the chief factors in insuring the success of a play and applause for the players, whether the stage be fashioned of boards and painted scenery or be the setting of lifei tSelf. At least, that is common failing of those of us who yaunt our preference for .the higher things Yet when we do ruminate upon the ubject-approve it or not-we are forced to admit that dress does count for a great deal in the scheme of things.
 Every woman may not have the pleasure of dressing for the, opera, but breathes there the dame or damsel who does not take a keen delight when dressing for the boudoir? Then one has nothing to think about but ones own individual likes. one need consult naught else save ones mirror and there is much of happiness in such a state of affair. In the boudoir of all places in the world. do we want what we want when we want it. For the world and his wife we may dress as the arbiter of the modes dic- tateS, in skirts that are short and narrow, to be ure. but none the less skirts, but in the privacy of that room that is dedicated to ourselves alone we may usurp the prerogative of the

men of the house and luxuriate in trousers to our hearts content.
 Yet so dainty are the bifurca ted costumes in which we choose to lounge that even their worst enemies would find it difficult to chide us. Essentially feminine, for all that it ernulates merem ale attire, since it is responsible for the silky loveliness of the paiama suit of the picture. 4 sip Of the aIl-over lace falls from the shoulders to the knees and the same flny fabric edges the bottom of the dainty panties. When it is youth that must be served it is just such a gar ment that will turn the trick.
 All the beauty of ones costume Is not on the outside If there is any thing pore fascinating than the new lingerie it would be difficult to say just what it is. And, as in every other symphony of fashion variety, is, the note that one finds running all through the composition. For some time black has not infrequently serv- ed to make more exquisite some dainty shade by sheer force of con trast and it is this scheme that has been carried out effectively in the dainty undie illustrated at the right Flesh colored as to bodice and bla ok as to skirt the former is edged with black and to avert even any suggeS- ton of conferences upon the skirt, are caught cflusters of delicate pink rosebuds.

Even the most ardent of fashion s devotees, and that there are many who fervently follow her footsteps, is a self-evident fact, must admit that consistency is not a virtue of the ca pricious dame. No, indeed.' she is far too wide to allow the most inter- esting of things to approach even the border line of monotony.
 She may choose simplicity as the theme for the seasons symphony, but she makes it a point to introduce plenty of variety in the details. She may smile upon elaboration, allowing it to go as far as it likes. In fact she shows decided fondness for the bizarre, but spectacular as the effect may be she is quick to show displeas- ure if in striking contrast to the lat ter the lines themselves are not sim pie and straight.
