Cool Cotton Lingerie

NEW YORK, June 13.-Why
wear cotton lingerie? There
are several answers to that.
. Cd It's absorbent. It picks
up body moisture like a sponge,
and like a sponge takes this
moisture into its fibreS. So it
doesn't feel damp or stick to
the body.
(2) It's cool. Cotton itself
has little or no warmth to it.
And the fact that it's absorbent
keeps it feeling cooler, too.
60 It can stand hard scrub
bing. An important point be-
cause of the excess dust there
is in the summer.
And a. it just seems to go
with the many cotton costumes
that are in fashion. Makes the
right ensemble.
Knitted Sports COttOnS
The sportswoman swears by
the knitted cottons when she
plays golf or tennis or goes hik-
ing and horseback riding.
Her cotton lingerie consists
Of shorts and a braSSiere or
vest, or a slim, close-fitting
union suit. They're made Of
balbriggan, knitted Isle or cot.
ton mesh, and are elastic
enough to give comfortably
with every movement. No strain
is put on the underwear even
in the widest golf swing.
Sun-Back Vests
Many of these cotton vests
have sun backs to fit neatly
under sun-back dresses. The
shorts are made on flat hip
yokes and they are short. like
bathing suit trunks. Some fit
snugly around the thighs.
Others are flared slightly.
When they're made of knitted
isles, there's usually ribbing at
the waistline and legs to keep
them fitting snugly. A knitted
shorts and vest combination Is
sketched at the top Of the three

Dainty Sheer COttOns
For not so strenuous wear,

and handkerchief linen make

gerie.
Much color goes into this
kind of underwear. Contrast
ing pipings, hand-drawn work
done in contrasting threads,
contrasting appliques or a
touch of embroidery.
Printed materials in small
flower designs or polka dots are
favorites. too, II the dress

Washington
Fashions
BY Wilma LaVilIe

If you are buying a gift for
a June bride, this is the year to
make it silver. We all know
that silver is the most enduring
of gifts and is something that
Is worthy Of becoming an heir
loom. But this year there is
an additional reason for giving
silver and that is that it is
cheaper than it has been since
we can remember. Prices are
about one-third lower than they
have been formerly, due to the
low cost of silver bullion.
There is at present a great
deal of agitation in favor Of
stabilizing the price of bullion
and if this is done, the price on
silver tableware will immedi-
ately jump.
Future Heirloom
So you see that now is really
the time to buy silver even for
your own use, if you can afford
it, and it is the ideal gift for
the bride. You can give more
silver than you could have
formerly and you can afford
silver where you couldn't have
afforded 1t before.
In selecting silver be sure to
consider the period Of the room
it's to be used in, or the type
of home. There is now an am
pie selection Of designs in every
period and it is so much nicer
to have your silver in harmony
with your furniture and decora-
tions. Any good Silversmith can
advise you if you are not al
ready definite in your mind as
to what you want. In case
you are in doubt, here is
lineup with the most popular
patterns and where they may
be correctly used.
In Period Designs
We find that Repousse pat.
terms, those heavy designs GOV.
cred entirely with flowers, Of
which "Stieff Rose" is a good
illustration, are the most popu.
lar. They look well on the Table
and are suitable in any but a
very modern home. Next comes
Fairfax" Colonial in inSpira-
ton but suitable for a more
modern home also.
Another popular pattern Is
Lady Diana, which is modern in
spirit but may be used with
other periods. william and
Mary" is definitely dated and
is a favorite with many people.
Hunt Club" and Rhythm
are very new and modern and
are fast becoming popular.
If we can be Of service in
helping you select silver or in
your table setting or fashion

center, holding forth an end
berth. Chambers is ideally suited
for a flank post, being big and
rangy. Frank Blackstone, former
