The rise OF the crepe de chcne and
georgctte In the making Of undergar.
ments has been interesting 10 watch.
How shyly we put aside our white
linens and nalnsooks as We gently
stepped into our first pink crepe de
chenes. As we have grown holder.
pinks have given way to more vivid
colors and what we considered
rather venturcsome In former days
we now cast aside as passe.

ful for the lingerie OF this season
Hose Of gray fade into bloomers and
petticoats OF the same tone. For
the navy blue costumes there are
lovely shades of layenders and
purples.
The envelope chemse seems 10
have been discarded for the present
and the chemlsc with bloomers or
step.in drawers Is the favorite sort
OF lingerie for Just now. This com.
bination Is extremely practical for
the chemise can be made long
enough to take the place Of a petit
coat or short enough to be worn
with the heavier gowns and suits.
And as all gowns are made on
straight body.fttlng lines, these gar.
ments do away with all unnecessary
waist bands. These chemise are all
made with the short Empire yokes
with straps over the shoulders. the
straps being made of the same
material as the garment rather than
of ribbon. They are made In gold
and silver cloths TO match the even
ing gowns as well as In the practical
black. For the girl who dances there
is one model that is entirely delight
full judged from the utility viewpoint.
To the Empire bodice are attached
ten panels, each one overlapping an
other, SO that when standing a
strainght petticoat effect is obtained,
but one can dance the "toddle" with
tha assurance that ones petticoat
can not rip. The panels can be made
in variating colors.
Most OF the American made lin
gerie Is made Of crepe de chene,
goergette or radlum silk. From
Paris we have the triple voile which
closely resembles chiffon. but has
body enough to give It wearing quail
tiles. Another imported material Is
printed linen in colors, the printing
being placed as border in black
silhouette design.
Simplicity is the keynote found In
all the newest models. There Is
very little lace except on some OF
the more expensive bridal outfits,
where baby Irish crochet Is used as
a yoke foundation. Ruffes and tucks
are passe. Hemstitching in three
closely placed rows is the favorite
finishing for edges.
In using georgettes, usually two
colors are placed one over the other
giving two.toned effect. French
blue over majenta gives a charming
shade, as does the palest green over
rose. Night gowns and negligees OF
this type are pecoted In scallops at
the bottom and the two layers OF
georgette are jointed only at the
neck and armholes by pecoting. One
sees georgette finished in running
stitch of wool yarn shade darker
than the georgette Heavy allover
lace is dyed and finished this same
way in chenille. Printed voile over
plain voile gives veritable soap
bubble effect.
II Madame is ultra smart now
Z adays she uses the tiny bottles OF
perfume which come in sets OF
twelve bottles and perfumes her
lingerie according to its colors. For
violet robe she uses violet for the
pink or flesh toned garment she has
the rose or carnation to choose from
and for the two-toned effect she
selects cashmere bouquet or scents
of oriental mixtures.
