LATEST FAD IN NEGLIGEES

Vassar Robe Is Cut Along Old Lines, ahd Yet Is Something of a Novelty. —^ Neatest and newest In long negligees for girls is the Vassar robe of dark blue cashmere or flannelette, which Is made with' a deep yoke and three-quarter straight sleeves cut in one, the seven-gored skirt being so sharply slanted that It fits without fulness into the yoke.' Also made with cut in one piece sleeves Is a squarenecked, center-seamed back degilgee. This model, which Is prettiest when developed in some soft worsted or silken fabric and bordered with fancy ribbon, has narrow underarm forms in addition to four full length gores. A diagonal front, closing at the waist line, shows a pointed guimpe of muslin embroidery matching the undersleeves, supplementing the cloth elbow sleeves, which are slashed half way to the shoulders.

An attractive modification of the kimono has three shoulder plaits in front and a bias back attached to a bolero-shaped deep yoke. The bell sleeves, the loose fronts and the girdle are bordered with narrow ribbon. This model Is dainty In albatross of pale tint, bordered with white satin ribbon or of white chudda with colored ribbon. On Americanized lines Is a pretty kimono which la closely plaited across the shoulders at front and back and is charming when developed In white crepe de chine or pongee lined with tinted cashmere and having facings, cuffs and sash of soft silk matching the shade of the lining. Pongee is a favorite material for Pullman robes of regulation Japanese shape, supplemented by a hood which will completely conceal disheveled locks, and a capacious pocket for toilet articles. In this connection It may be said that a Pullman robe should be of Borne light shade, as in case of accident the wearer Is more likely to be noticed and consequently promptly rescued.
