he more carefully she studies her
ype and dresses according to 1t.
she is an exotic or typi-
ally American type, whether she
las the dignity Of q Queen or Is q +
airylike, naive little person, she will
llways delight in the selection OF
lew lingerie, and be most concerned
n the quality Of the materials and
character of the workmanship. Then
If course design is to be considered,
md becomingness. These considera-
ions not only have become Of vital
interest to the woman of discerning
,aste, but how she revels in design
ing, in planning these exquisite bits
Of sheer loneliness, where her i'm
agination and love of the beautiful
can be given free rein.
Because laundering soon wears
out the most practical lingerie, re-
supplies is necessary al
most as often as new designs are in
troduced. This fact gives the woman
who is always searching for the novel
in everything sensible excuse for
visiting the shops in the springtime
and selecting what is newest and
most appealing. However, the more
staid and conservative person having |
determined her type in lingerie as
we'll as gowns prefers to conform to
certain materials and trimmings and
cares for few innovations In style.
After all is said, what one wears
is reflected in mood and tempera-
ment, and most of all what one wears
underneath. 1t must be appro-
priately in harmony with the Gus
tome, just as the costume must be
suitable to the occasion.
The negligee, most adored of
feminine apparel, and most frivolous,
has it's place in the hearts of all
women, and even the so-called femin-
list finds in it subtle means of en-
HANGING her charm and in her
boulder in her more intimate mo-
ments alone, it can transform her in
to quite fascinating feminine sort
Of person.
Spring has brought the most en-
chanting and exquisitely lovely neg
ligees we have known for many
day. Some are unusually original
too, for instance Paisley prints are
being combined with plain colored
crepes de chine for boudoir robes,
the vogue for an unusual sleeve
making this effect particularly nice.
The black negligee still persists and
is reflected in the long wasted,
bloused robes, that fasten with a
single flower of crepe, and show
Innings Of bright color. In the more
unusual negiigees the Spanish shawl
lis not forgotten, in colors or black,
embroidered and fringed and draped'
into wrap form. Two shades Of
chiffon, hewstitched together sue
ceed in a naively sumple, but unfor-
gettable garment for ones intomate
hours. Chiffon or ribbon bands cross
in front and tie at the sides under
long transparent coat, which hangs
gracefully over an accordion plated
skirt of the chiffon. Not to be- for
gotten is the chiffon negligee of a
pastel shade with picoted ruffies at
neck and sleeves and the skirt fash
toned of multitudinous small ruffies1
of the chiffon. This is especially be-
coming to an ingenue type and every
debutante or young bride should
have such a distinctly feminine
negligee in her wardrobe.
When selecting a negligee, one is
so entranced with the fascinating ar
ray Of colors and the sheer loneliness
of materials that one comes near to
forgetting that fresh supplies Of
undertakings are needed. Not for
long, however, can the dainty piles
of silken and fine cotton garments
be ignored. for the shops are riots
GUS with the color in these bewilder-
ing arrays. Never has there been
such a season for color in undergar-
ments. ,s ~
Perhaps what will first intrigue
one on entering shop will be a set
of printed crepe de chine in tanger-
inc colored designs. So simply made
and yet so distinctive. The color. Is
carried out delightfully."- in ;picoted
finishing and narrow picoted gros-
grain ribbon trimming. y
Everyone is interested in pongee
lingerie. Last season it was used
in the strictly unitarian garments
because of its practitcability, but this
season it has been developed ir
charming three-piece sets OF gown
vest and step-in drawer, entirel!
made by hand. Narrow bias folds
Of crepe de chine in mauve' or peach
color are used In finishing the edge'
and for the narrow shoulder straps
The idea is Is French and very dis
tinctive.
France sends us many Lowell,
pieces of lingerie, but perhaps tn
most unusual this season are tn
daintiest of dotted swiss sets. The,
are most enchanting, Of the YER
finest, softest quality, with blue, pinl
or lavender dots on white ground
with the same colors in bindings
Motifs of drawnwork are the onl
ornamention. This spring the shee
French lingerie Of fine batiste o
nainsook is lovelier than ever. 1t
