New Lingerie and Long Gloves

Dainty Undergarments Are Embroidered; Shoe* and Slippers of Satin and Velvet. Lingerie is one of the things which have had an impetus during the season. There' seems to be an idea of getting away from the old and welltried ideas and of indulging in undergarments which are original and pretty at the same time. Chiffon Is the material most favored. The pale yellows and the shades of mauve are particularly attractive, and so are the tones of cerise and orange. For a bright color in chiffon loses the heaviness which might result from the use of a thicker material. These dainty bits of undergarments are embroidered In thin rows of flower patterns and are generously helped along by inlays of hemstitching. Then there are ribbons, used not too conspicuously and varying a little from the general tone of the material. Accordion plaiting is cleverly used. Two or three rows of double hemstitching, with the rest In plaiting, and yon have a slip which cannot be said to have a serious rival. Laces are used with caution and they are, of course, most attractive when they are hand made. Shoes and slippers are often made of satin and velvet. In Paris these are cut with scarcely any vamp and they are supplied with straps over tbelnr steps and with butterfly ornaments in the place of buckles. These are made it a bit of gold or silver gause and a strip of wire and some rhinestone Warkies.

Gloves are another accessory of woman’s dress which have undergone a change in Paris ip that they no longer are worn wrist length. Every sleeve ends in a gauntlet glove or a mousquetaire glove or a long 14-but-toned glove. There is always a wrinkle around the wrist when style is in the balance and sleeves that are long are made tight enough for the glove to slip over them. The shorter sleeves expect the glove to meet them. Long gloves decidedly are In again. •
