FOR THE NEGLIGEE OR NIGHT

Charming Robes In the Lightest of Silks Well Suited for Wear on Separate Occasions. Alluring robes in delicately colored crepe de chine and white lace are listed as nightgowns, but may quite as properly be worn as negligees, and most women buy them for that purpose. The back and front, each cut from a sibgle breadth of double-width crepe de chine, are so gradually sloped from the lower edge—finished with an a-jour-headed hem —to the bust, that nowhere is there an atom too much fullness. At the top the crepe de chine widths at back and front are opened at the right side and drawn in a point to that shoulder, while the other side is caught under the left arm. The entire lower section is swung from a deep yoke of white lace whose neck is drawn taut by a ribbon run beading after the robe Is on, for there is no other open* Ing and no fastening to bother with. The elbow sleeves are simply wide puffs of lace ending in narrow ruffle* gathered with ribbon and beading.
