Black Underwear Now in Fashion
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

those who make underwear are get
ting inspiration from the same source
They launched black crepe de chine
nightgowns that can be worn to the
dinner tables IL one puts girdle
about the hips.
The sketch shows one of these.
1t is considered smart. so don't shrug
the shoulders and say that black
nightgowns are impossible. absurd.
uncleanly. This one is gathered to
a deep yoke Of soft cream lace. which
carries arm capes. and m front. on
the black creme. is embroidered a
loose bouquet of flowers done in faded
colored silks. Black satin mules. also
embroidered in colored flowers. are
worn with it.
Once there was an effort to have
sets of black satin and chiffon un-
seauX. but the American would have
none of them. There has been
protest against black next to the
skin ever since we emerged from
the twilight OF medievalism. Yet
this fact is no argument against the
probability of black undergarments
being accepted. They were worn
once: therefore they may be worn
again. Such Is the rule. the law of
life.
Black chiffon is considered better
than satin or crepe de chine for
chemiSeS and knickerS and 1t must
be admitted that these garments are
not taboo among certain smartly
dressed women. They are trimmed
with real val lace, the chemise hav-
ing strips Of black satin ribbon over
the shoulders and the khickers' are
edged with garters of black satin
that fasten above the knee with small
groups of satin flowers.
Black nightgowns are of crepe de
chine or China silk and also of triple
voile. which is a white fabric that
women use for lingerie as suhst-
tute for muslin and jersey silk.
Triple wolfe was suddenly considered
smarter for nightgowns than muslin.
An immense amount of it was made
up into lingerie during the last six
months. The girl who is about to
he married would do we'll to remem-
ber this fact.
Lace is used with triple voile. but
fine embroidery in faint coforS is
preferable Thin white satin rib
bon is used with il. but there is
tendency toward thin strinS of lace
The newest idea in holding Shoul-
der straps in place beneath gowns is
to put snapper at the shoulder
seams of the frocks and another on
the chemise strap. When they are
snapped together there is no danger
of the white ribbon floating into view
across the collarbone. Every woman
knows the torture Of this perform

navian and North German.
SouRcE-A given name.
The explanation which at once Of
fers itself of the family name of
Crist is that it is simply another
spelling of Christ" But this does not
explain its existence in many of its
variations. in such widespread fash
ion as We find it today
Presumably there was a time when
the fact that man was a Christian
instead of pagan was sufficient to
differentiate him from others of the
same given name. and it was natural
to call man 'Ulric the Christian" to
distinguish him from other Ulrics
who were not. But this was many
centuries before such descriptive
names became stabilized into family
names. BY the time family names
were in formation the whole civilized
the word ceased to be distinctive.
What really happened was this: The
name of Christ first became the basis
OF certain given names which have
persisted even to this day and the
family names were formed from thes..
One of these names was Christian and
the other Christofer. or Christopher.
The family name would first appear
descriptive of the individuals parent
age. as John Christian son" or Peter
Christofer 's-son." But given names
also were abbreviated. and both
Christian and Christofer were often
met in the forms "Crist" or Kit"
from which we get such family
names as Christie son" and kitson.
often shortened in the course of time
to Kits Christie or Crist. The given
name of Christian was very wide
he liv1o ri,xp nd
is unusually common on the east coast
of England, where even in olden times
the people were in close touch with
the Danes and traded with the folk of
the north German countries. No doubt
many of these family names found in
this country today have been brought
directly from the continent, and are
not English.
