LINGERIE OF THE DAINTIEST

Woman of Fashion Insists on the Lightest Fabrics and Most Exquisite Embroidery. Open work wheel'embroidery so oft repeated that little of the background was to be seen is one of the favorite embellishments of a double set of underwear made for a coming trousseau. Two other sets of finest cambric are embroidered with little cupids and doves supporting a ropq of roses, all rendered in the finest embroidery. A third set has Malines lace insert upon it, and the fine Irish crochet and Valenciennes decorate a fourth. For some of the little matinoe jackets finely plaited chiffon flounces are chose as an edging and others have scalloped ones oversewn with wool, which looks cozy and of an uncommon appearance upon wool backed satin. Completely charming are the coverlets sold to be thrown over the lingerie sets when put out by the lady’s maid for morning or evening wear, each one among them a match to the lingerie. : The slips and blouses from the lingerie department of a well-known maker of such frivolities are like gossamer for lightness of weight and show the simplicity of line and design that is absolutely delightful when the finest fabrics are used. There is a petal pink crepe blouse with a collar and a straight yoke of black Chantilly lace, to which decoration is added a little breast pocket trimmed with a fan of Chantilly. Another of the three layer kind, the first of finest sand colored chiffon and the third of palest blue, with a sandwich between of "age yellow" laoe.
