Best French Lingerie.

The 1902 importations of French lingerie show many beautiful matched sets of underwear, most of them intended as trousseau garments, entirely hand made, for the ultra fashionable women of to-day are demanding more and more that the best of their underwear shall show no machine stitching, says the Chicago News. These sets are most beautifully hand embroidered on the sheerest and finest of materials and trimmed with real lace. They are rather more plHnly made than the ma-

jority of underwear shown, but the fineness and quality of the material, combined with the embroidery, make them the most exquisite of garments and proportionally high in price. Large applique roses in velvet, outlined with brilliants, form trimming alike on the bodices and skirts of evening gowns. The ruffles to the sleeves are embroidered with coral or pearls. She likes to be truly loved and to be told so.
