UNDERWEAR THAT IS SMART

Manufacturer# Have Outdone Themselvea in Providing Pretty Lingerie for Milady’s Use.

An unusual petticoat Is made of nainsook trimmed with two deep ruffles of batiste cut In points and chemise has a panel front and shirred val lace. Rosebuds are placed at intervals on the ruffles. A pink crepe de chine envelope chemise has a panel front and shirred sides which make it especially suited to wear under a gown that is flat in front and distended at the sides. A fine quality of pink crepe de chine fashions a chemise trimmed with fine val lace. It is cut on new lines, showing how a panel effect may be given with two rosettes to gather the fullness to the sides.

A dainty pair of knickerbockers is made of white flaxon evenly striped, with one sheer and one heavier stripe. The bodice is of flesh-colored habutai silk, straps and all, with picot edges for a finishing and three tiny flat bows of satin down the front. Val lace is ruffled on every edge of a nainsook chemise in princess style and festoons of insertion in bolero effect. A ribbon bow with fluttering ends trims the front. A band of French knotted embroidery finishes the straight top of a nain-

sook chemise and double ribbons are used for shoulder straps. Another chemise of white batiste is tucked to just below the bust line and finished with insertion. Ribbon is laced through eyelets In this band, tying in front, and double ribbons form the shoulder straps. Below a yoke of embroidery and lace another chemise of white batiste hangs nearly straight in box plaits. The. shoulder straps are ribbon, and a ribbon is laced In and out of the yoke.
