| fogeyish. But these very modest night
| garments are as matter of fact quite
| smart.
Usually they are made on rather
simple tailored lines. The model shown
in the sketch has mannish cuffs fas-
tened with small link buttons. 1t was
made of glove silk in a soft shade of
green.
Nightgowns of similar tailored de-
sign are sometimes made of washable
crepe silk in bright colors, green, blue
on rose. The woman who sleeps with
, all of her windows open or on a sleep
ing porch likes flannel nightgowns and
doesn't mind admitting it either, be-
cause tire up-to date flannel nightS0wn
is very attractive.
A gown similar to the one shown
in the sketch might be made from
one of the lightweight washable fian-
nels. or of some sort of cotton flannel
material. Figured challis or tlannels
with bright stripes are used for some
of the new Winter "nighties."
If you sleep on sleeping porch or
in an unheated room, you will find
that you can manage comfortably
with fewer quilts and blankets if YOU
only wear some sort of woolen sleep
ing garment. And you doubtless sleep
more peacefully when YOU are not
burdened with too many covers.
Some women who find the woolen
material uncomfortable next the skin
wear a light gown of fine silk or
muslin with a gown Of lightweight
wool on top.
A light pink slip or petticoat Is
appropriately chosen to wear beneath
the white or lght-colored evening
frock. One OF the most attractive of
these little evening underslips that !
have seen was decorated here and
there on the ruf11e with a small rhine
stone. II YOU want to make one of
these new slips or petticoats and will
send me stamped. self.addressed
envelope l will send you the pattern

making.
