"Out Of sight, out Of mind" can
not be said Of the lingerie Of the pres
snt season, for while designers of these
delightful garments have been pre-
eenting ever new and more enticing
bits Of underapparel for our admiration
and delight, they have quite outdone
themselves this time. The things they
offer are the kind that once seen are
never forgotten, but linger in the mind
Of feminine persuasion, until they are
added TO her very own collection OF
dainty underthings.
Ever widening scope OF design OF
fabrics used, ever trying to become
more and more suitable to the outer
garments worn above them, and more
and more practical for various occa.
sions, the undergarments seem to have
reached their zenith in charm and orig
inality.
Bloomers Are Preferred.
There are garments for all occasions
as has been said and there are gar
rnents to suit the tastes and purses
OF all women. There are those who
prefer the hloomer to the petticoat,
and there are bloomers designed TO
take the place Of garment that for
centuries has been considered almost
Il necessary part Of the feminine ward
robe. These boomers are made Of silk
and crepes, trimmed with ruffles made
Of self material Of lace, or georgette,
sometimes caught here and there
on the more dressy models with tiny
bows Of double faced ribbon or with
tiny nosesays OF French flowers.
Some Of these are knee length and
others extend almost to the ankle, or
as far as is consistent with the length
Of the skirt worn over it. Skirts are
growing longer and longer so.many Of
The winter models may be Shown TO

Imported Petticoats Liked.
A lady's preference, for certain gowns
may demand the use Of petticoat
and for these have been imported mod
els Of different kinds The more prac-
teal ones come in the darker colors
Of crepe de chine, Italian silk or the
soft satins. They are trimmed with
hand embroidery, with appliqued de-
signs in contrasting color. which ap.
