these, writes a fashion correspondent
In the New York Times. are the sum-
merry frocks and trappings for the
Southern seashore--bathing suits, sun
shades, frilly muslin frocks and flow
cry hats. Just around the corner
from this touch OF spring are the
gorgeous fur wraps. the heavy wool
sport suits and overcoats with bushy
fur collars, and all the things that go
with sleds and skates, snowshoes and
hockey sticks.
An exhibit always interesting to
womanhood II the lingerie. Front win
dOws and whole cases are given over

with a stock of new and beautiful
things in all the cOlors of the rainbow
and a great many more.
BY the old-time standards, no won.
an of refinement wore anything but
white lingerie, and that Of cotton or
cotton or linen. The annual or semi
annual occasion" was announced as
a white" sale. But the new idea Is
quite otherwise as to both fabric and
color. White Is the exception, and
the fine linen lawns and sheer batiste
are largely worn by the woman Of
old-fashioned or at least thoroughly
conservative taste.
Muslin lingerie, except only the ex-
quisiteIy embroidered and ace-trimmed
undergarments of the most delicate
quality. has a homespun, almost
plebeian look, 1t must be admitted.
and certainly the younger generation
viii have none Of 1t. For them are
the gossamer chiffOns and georgettes,
the cIinging crepes and satins, and In
almost every shade but white.
In the lovely nightgowns, pajamas,
chemises, "step-ins" and shirts there
Is never a hint of warmth. They are
for beauty and the delicious feeling
that comes in the contact with soft,
fine materials, though some Of the
crepes and satins are washable and
practical and are Of longer life than
the white garments that stand the
tests Of bleach and starch.
The actual goods of which tOday's
lingerie is fashioned are crepe de
chine, wash satin, pussy willow, geor-
gette, crepe chiffon and chiffon. Some
extravagances, Of course, appear to
crafty the fancy Of those so minded;
for example, gayly colored satins print
ed in Oriental and batik patterns.
But these are the freak features that
usually are presented in contrast to
the conventional article. Their very
unlOveliness is the most effective ar
gument against the popularity Of these
extreme styles.
Winsome colors Are Shown.
A palette OF all the most enchant-
ing colors known is suggested in the
lingerie one finds piled in order in
the tables in the best shops. It Is NO
longer matter of pink, blue, yellow
or white. for these have been shaded
In many degrees. and countless other
colors. poetic and lovely, have been
added. Nightgowns In orchid, jade,
coral, rose, peach, apricot, hydrangea,
hyacinth, lilac, lavender, pearl, oyster
and ivory are matched in the other

the deeper shades these are duplicat-
ed-purple, emerald. orange, flame,
gendarme blue, and some of the most
bizarre In black-and-white or all black.
In other words, lingerie in the pres
ent mode is no longer a secondary
matter in the toilet, but is one Of its
most important features. The style
Of trimming the newest things is or
dinarily simple. and-of necessity, like
the things themselves, dainty and fine.
The materials are so sheer and soft
that little more is required than a
trimming Of lace about the neck and
armholes-in lieu Of sleeves-with,
perhaps entire deaux in the front. But
this is invariably Of the finest lace,
Irish, f1let or valenciennes.
Exceptional sets Of lingerie are
much more elaborate, with lace in
serted to the waist, alternating with
strips of the finest needlework on the
material, and here and there a tiny
nosegay Of silk flowers. One gown Of
this description shown in an exclusive
lingerie shop is made of peach-colored
georgette. AT the decollete neck Is
a rather deep yoke Of pointe applique
lace. long strips If which are insert
ed horizontally TO a point below the
waistline. Alternating with the lace
is delicate trailing design of needle
work, and lace finishes the armholes
and the bottom of the gown, which is
cut In deep scallops. The front OF the
gown, skirt length. Is laid in tiny
plaits, and at the sides of the lower
part Is gathered to the blouse, AZ in
dress. This is one Of the types OF
robes-de-nuit which might easily be
mistaken for an elaborate negligee or
tea gown.
More radical than the new fashions

garment. The chemise in its original
form is passe. 1t adds too much ia
bulky dry goods about the figure.
which should be slim. The substitute
answers the purpose Of two articles
worn hitherto. and often is the one
garment beneath the lined dress or
slip.
