NEW PRINCESS CHEMISE.

Among the really npw things are the PrintSes3 chemises. A garment very like the combination of corset cover and short petticoat, and one which could as well be worn outside as under the corset. It ha s very few seams, is open andi buttons the full length of, the front, but about the neck is on the chemise lines. And then we have the Princess petticoat, made in. all lengths, for use under lingerie or other gowns. They the made as a Princess slip would be and if there are any sleeves at all, they are but three or four inches long, to cover the shields. The necks are cut square and finished with a little lace, and the skirt parts have deep ruffles with more or less ornamentation. The short petticoat has a narrow ruffle below the hem. The most popular combinations are the corset cover and skirt, or cover and drawers, but the three-piece affairs are cut on admirable lines and with circular drawers, which are full enough to form the Skirt and give no idea of the divided parts. Much can be said in favor of these combinations. /They are put on quickly, do away with bands and unnecessary bulk at the and are light in weight. Nightgowns for summer wear are of the short, loose sleeve style. Some -are in the Empire fashion with a short waist of embroidery or lace, with the lower part of Nainsook. gathered to it. The latest model .nightgowns sent over by French firms have long close sleeves, but the American woman must be comfortable in garments that are worn in the hours of rest, and it is doubtful if they find many admirers. The' employment of fancy materials for all forms of underwear impresses one as being rather unusual, bu? the fashion soon appeals to novelty lovers, being much prettier, and more economical, than plain, as less elaboration is called for—Style.
