FINEST OF LINGERIE

UHDIRTHINa, ARK OF DAINTIEST POSSIBLE MAKE.

Delicate Combination Slip That May Be Made Up Eithdr In Crepe de Chine or Fine White Batiste —Easy to Copy.

Although undei\hlngs are aq conspicuously negligible a* possible, they receive more consideration than ever. It is important not only that each separate .article shall incorporate the minimum of weight and bulkiness, but also that the lines of it shall be quite perfect Just now, when empire effects hold sway, similarly waist lines of undergarments are raised, and, of

course, there Is no great amount of fullness in petticoats to interfere with the "hang” of a skirt. Every one knows the inconvenience experienced In adjusting the regulation corset cover to the lbw-cut evening gown. Greatly preferable is a model that consists merely of a straight strip, with eyelets along the top through which is threaded a narrow tape of elastic. If the design of the gown permits it, bebe ribbon may be tied over the shoulders and a satin’ ribbon substituted for the elastic, which will not then be required! ; : All softs of pretty conceits are being shown in the fascinating specialty shops in Vienna, in bodice and petticoat slips to wear under transparent lacy presses, and in themselves they are so charmingly dainty that it would seem a shame if they didn’t show just a little bit through the veiling of one’s gofrn. For example, there is this very qVaint and delicate combination slip of the sketch, which is made up either in crepe de chine or finest white batiste. The short-waisted bodice is taken in to a narrow shirred belt and is topped by a narrow heading of itself, formed by running a fine elastic through an inner stitching of the hem. The shoulder straps and arm shields are of fine net puffing and they are

ter ’H yen'small sn*W*_ The petticoat only of the crepe de chine, mainder of the length Is composer wm strips of lace and bands of net puffmOl The finishing ruffle is of net, and this continues up the side slashing and 1» topped by two chiffon rosea. Naturally these elaborate under* things are exorbitantly expensive la the shop*, but If one is at all handy at sewing they are really quite simple to make and can be turned out at littlo expense. Anyway, it seemri as if every woman should treat herself to one, <nr possibly two, of these lovely slips just to keep specially for her finest frocks, for in these days of delicate lacy outergarments fine lingerie Is absolutely ■ necessary. | If the model I have sketched seems just a little elaborate for your own. ! particular requirement* it can readfly be copied in plainer materials and: made quite a* attractive and effective. But I really couldn’t resist sketching the very prettiest one to be seen in 1 one of these alluring little Viennese, white shops.—Lillian E. Young, In the. Washington Star.
