bows. Is fit for a mother hub-
bard and woolena. There are
rot many of her kind. But there are
many who are moved to extravagant pur
chases, or eye-torturing needlework, upon
behoMlng the shop windows with their
dainty finery. Never has lingerie repre
sented Greater Ingenuity in design or a
greater amount of hand work and elaboration.
The hand embroidery, which for a time flourished independently on the lingerie of
the most fastidious, is now combined with quantities of lace, and tucking and bead
ing and big medallions of Irish or Cluny
The English openwork embroideries are
wost effectively used on the more elabor
ate models, while the Lorraine and Madeira embroideries are good imitations of
the French hand work, and are more dur-
ablo and economical than the latter.
A novelty In the ribbon trimming of
lingerie is the use of little sprays of rose
buds made from narrow satin ribbons. Tiny green leaves, such as come on milli
nery buds, hug the satin rosebuds and
trail down with the dangling ribbons. These sprays are fastened on the night
gown, and corset cover and finish the rib
bon that Is run through the petticoat
beading.
With the return of the separate blouse though the lingerie blouse cannot be
said ever to have gone out the corset cover ,. is regaining favor. All-over embroidery Is used a great deal for these combined with lace or medallions. The princess model continues to be the most desirable style of garment for wear with gowns, however. This may consist of cor8(t cover and drawers combined, or of corset cover and short skirt. Row after
row of insertings are used on these until they l resemble an abbreviated lingerie gown. The growing insistence on perfect fitting undergarments has resulted In great care being taken that there Is not a wrinkle or a suspicion of fullness in corset cover or slip. Sometimes casings are made on the Inner side of these princess slips into which whalebones may be Slipped, to be removed when the garment la washed.
The prevailing styles In outer garb usually penetrate pretty quickly to the undergarments. Gone are the Empire effects In night gowns and negligees. The normal waistline is restored, and headings are seen to circle the waist instead f be!hff placed Just before the bust. t Knickerbockers will always be favored Ijy the woman who wishes to dispense With all unnecessary fullness and flufflti3 in lingerie. Those made from white ratln do venezta are probably in greatest demand, though they aro shown in delicate colors, also.

Petticoats are more frilly and ruffly than they have been for several seasons. Embroidery combined with medallion Insets is strongly favored. In the silk petticoats there is an increasing demand for plaid and dre3den silks. The changeable silks are also expected to have the vogue that these effects will have In suits and gowns. Petticoats for wear under wash dresses may be had of gingham, chambray, linen and seersucker. All of the white petticoats not attached to corset covers are cut circular, with no fullness about the waist, and with the flounce put on Just below the knees. Some of these have a tucked ruffle of net set on Just below the embroidery or lace flounce, which adds a dainty fluffinesa to the skirts. Charming little night caps are being shown. In white china silk run with pink or blue ribbons which are to be tied in a big bow under the chin. Some of these have little sachets hid in their soft lining, and altogether are bewitching little vanities. Teagowns and n?gMgees are tsking on so extravagant ai:d artistic a character, that ono is not always ablo to tell at a glance whether one Is looking upon a lounging robe or an evening toilet. Chif
fons, figured silks, crepe da chines and all the sheer stuffs are used to make the most ravishing robes d'interieur, as the French call them. One of the handsomest of these was of dull ereen net over silver tissue, beneath which was a pale green satin lining. Copper-gold embroidery was used on the corsage, making the whole effect a shimmer of dull tones and warm lights. Negligees made solidly of rows of lace and rows of ribbon, are most attractive and may be made at home If one is at all skillful with the needle, or rather with the machine, as these may be made almost entirely on the sewing machine. If one wishes to. White lingerie negligees will be as much worn as ever, while the comfortable, convenient kimona will always continue, to be a necessary feature of every woman's wardrobe. A new style has appeared which Is meant especially to be a toon to the woman who travels. It la usually made of same dark. Inconspicuous silk, in loose straight lines. To the back is attoched a shirred cap which may be pulled up over the head at night to protect the hair from the dust and to preserve the tidiness of the coiffure, since the coiffure of today may not be attained in a
diminutive toilet room with four scowling females elbowing their way to the tiny glass. Another attractive way to make up a traveling kimona is to cut out a full mother hubbard and shirr three tucks about the waist, through which cablo cord may be ran. When this is drawn up to fit the waist, and a Dutch collar added at the throat, the garment has rather tho appearance of a robe than a kimona. The Japanese silk k'.monas. with borders of plain china silk, arc indispensable for general use. Pretty effects are obtained with cotton crepe, also, which may be had as cheap as fifteen cento a yard, and may be bound with ribbon, or a fancy silk or soft cretonne. Figured dimities and barred muslins are desirablo for tho warm weather. Many of these have a belt of beading through which ribbon Is run, and the square neck Is also finished with the ribbon-run beading. The short negligees and dressing Jackets may be found in a great variety of styles from the lace trimmed silk ones to the simple little muslin ones with neat belt and lacy Dutch collars. One charming model was of pale pink messallne, trimmed with a wido Chantilly laco to each edge of which was sewed a rufflo of narrow black Val. Tho laco was put on in sailor effect about the neck, and formed a sort of peplum about the waist.
NEW CORSET MODELS SHOW NO RETURN TO THE SMALL WAIST.
HEN a woman won't, she won't,
i r and that's all there is to it. &f I Never has this been so con-
of woman versus the corsetmakers. Ever and anon the
makers of modes devolve fashions that recall the wasp like waists of a few years since the Louis XV styles, for instance, and the present belted blouse effects.
The corset makers speak up straightway
and proclaim the Imminent revival of minute waists and suddenly curving hips.
But Madame? Pooh, she will have nono
of It not if the distraught corset makers can devise no other models at all calcu
lated to force entire renewal of stock. She has been permitted to get acquainted with the workings of her diaphragm anu
she proposes to be comfortable at all costs. Thus it Is that there has been little change in corset styles for spring and summer wear. The bust !s slightly lowered, the back is slightly shortened, with a bit more spring below the waist line, the tendency is toward greater suppleness and less boning, and the trimmings arc very simple.
The effort to mold the figure Into curves
of beauty with the minimum amount of boning, which is not only uncomfortable
but gives the figure a stiff also stuffed
appearance, has been most successful In a popular model of the lace-in-front style. The side bones extend only to the turn of the hips and the back bones are considerably shorter than usual. The front steels are remarkably flexible and lighter Jn weight than the ordinary steel.
Another model is practically boneless, having only the front and back steels, and two side sicels. The bust Is supported by two tiny bones that run backward from the frons steel and two diagonal Venus bones under the arm. It will be seen that such a corset cannot fail to allow every freedom to the body and comfort to the wearer. Although svelte slimness continues to be fashion's dictum there are few figures so perfect that a little Judicious padding does not Improve their contours. Most figure-! arc inclined to a little flatness below tho waist line in the back, which Is overeomo by a small oval pad that helps

bust that Is favored this season often makes a bust pad of some description necessary. These are sometimes in tho form of padded satin bows, which may be hand painted in the most delicato designs, or elaborately laco trimmed, or ar3 simply covered with washable slips that
may be removed. Many prefer tho sets of ruffles, which are especially desirablo for summer because of their coolness.
For tho stout woman there aro many; tricks of the trade which tend to reduce ber too, too solid flesh. Thero is the hip conflner of sturdy tricot which Is
woven to the outline of the body. Thld is worn below the waist line and Is ad 1 Justed by means of the gores at the side that permit of lacing. The latest models In brassieres are also the knlttted tricot but are adjusted without lacing. Straps from the front pass around the figure and cross to the opposite shoulder, which thus makes it answer the purpose of a sort of shoulder brace as well as bust supporter. Though fewer hose supporters are being used than formerly, they aro all of the broad, flat, heavy variety, with llttlo or no trimming. When the silk Jersey cloths In colors aro used for tho more expensive models, the supporters ara of the same color, but rarely have any more ilaborate trimming than . flat satin bow.
GLOVE HINTS.
T
HERE is nothing about a woman
that so loudly proclaims her taste and her habits as the sort of gloves she is wearing. She may smile under imported millinery, and trail chiffons
and laces, but if a pink finger tip push forth through her glove tip, or a buttonless gap be disclosed, her ways are made plain to us. We are certain the millinery and the frou-frou are draggled and tattered. In th's day of silk and chamois gloves a woman can be always neatly and inexpensively gloved. Chamois gloves not only may be washed a doren times, each time coming out like new if properly done, but they give a touch of smartness to the street frock, and are particularly affected by the outdoor woman because of their supple qualities. Silk gloves are worn the year around by many of the best dressed women ; it is declared this season will see a greater popularity for them than ever before. Though we have but Just been emancipated from the purse-splitting long gloves; dealers are getting ready to meet the big demand there is bound to be for them when the elbow sleeve is fairly with us again. For early spring the mosquetaire in six and eight button lengths will be worn with the new three-quarter, or more nearly, seven-eighths sleeves. For automobillng or driving these come In a slightly heavier weight, and instead of buttons have a strap at the wrist to confine the fullnesa Gloves for evening wear are usually of the 18, TO and C4 button lengtha A decided novelty in evening effects Is a glove with the back stitching outlined with tiny pearls. This idea is also carried out In various colored gems, but the effect Is not so attractive.

STYLES FOR MISSES AND CHILDREN REPLICAS OF GROWN-UP FASHIONS
IMj
AST times tho attempt to adapt
prevailing adult styles to
youthful wearers results in Incongruous and absurd effects. But never have the fashions so favored the needs of the young
girl aa those of the spring season seem to do. The Jaunty Russian blouse seems designed for a youthful figure; the full skirts lend grace to the lankiest limbs; the round hats are built for curving contours. An attractive model in a suit for everyday wear, which illustrates the style that will be most generally worn by the young girl this season, was developed in navy blue tussah silk. The skirt was a plaited one, with the plaits stitched down some distance from the waist line, giving a yoke effect. The Jacket, in Russian blouse style, was gored to the shoulders, with the side-lapping fastened with military ornaments. The belt, cuffs, bottom of the skirt and lapping edge of the blouse were braided with soutache matching the material. This style will be particularly attractive in the summer fabrics, such as linen, duck, crash or Madras. Shepherd check continues to he well Uke& One

The princess dress will be worn, tn silks, and lingerie effects, by the slim girl to whom it has proved so becoming. A pretty style that a brown-eyed sebool-glrl was buying the other day. had four plaits in the skirt on each side, that sprang from the pointed side portions of the waist. The back and front were in panel effect. A square yoke and tight-fitting undersleeves were of corn color tucked chiffon, which harmonised beautifully with the rich brown of the foulard with Its ecru polka dots. The over sleeves extending to Just above the elbow were slashed, and laced across with brown velvet ribbon, while a band of velvet outlined the yoke on both sides. A soft tie of the foulard, lined with corn -co lor satin was brought from each corner of the yoke to tie in a knot and bang to the waist line. The hats tor the young girl ot XMhlon
