Eyclets are placed through the top of the corset cover, through which ribbon is run. The very slight fullness is drawn into the tight waist line of the circular skirt, going under embroidery beading. Heading the ruffle on the skirt is a line of wide beading or lace insertion. The corset cover and drawers in the next sketch are of cross bar or dotted swiss, trimmed with cream colored lIace, Valenciennes, linen torchon or fine cluny. A band of the lace insertion confines the corset cover and the drawers and is Yess bulky than the ribbon. The chemise to the right is fashioned of fine French nainsook laid in hand-run tucks and trimmed with fine embroidery or lace. TRIKING innovations have not become manifest in this department of a woman's wardrobe for the coming spring and summer. Undergarments respond to the dictates of the past few seasons inasmuch as they are designed to follow as far as possible the natural lines of the figure. fullness is banished. All superfluous The surface must be smooth, unwrinkled and in cut suggest the natural contour of the body. The making and designing, and we must certainly include the tedious fitting, are not to be considered lightly, for the success of the gown, especially the skirt, may be wholly marred by an ill-fitting undergarment. Combination garments have greater vogue at the present time than ever before, and they are the only logical and practical solution for the tight-fitting outer garments Furthermore, one dresses EMPIRE so THE ULTRA' FASHIONABLE WOMAN. A very new and exclusive model for a decollette evening garment is a princess combination buttoning down the back, each seam to hip line being finished with fine beading. From the hips springs a ed ruffle deep broid ingly, but in reality drawers, from which drops a ruffle of wide Valenciennes lace. The top of the tightly fitted princess is embroidered with eyelets; an inch below narrow ribbon is threaded. . There are all sorts of "bockers" parading in fancy trade names, which are much worn. A very elegant garment recently shown was made princess, of white crepe de chine, with narrow fine Valenciennes lace insertion at the seams. Just the merest fullness appeared in the "bockers," enough to be comfortable and not a whit more, . NIGHT DRESSES. The garment to the extreme right is sure to be much copied because of its sweet simplicity. It does not require much time in fashioning as compared with many others. It 1s made of fine soft French batiste cut in a deep square and outlined with lace. Bands of insertion two and a half inches apart extend from the top to the short waist line, formed by lace beading, and through which ribbon is drawn. The lace here, too, is a delicate cream tint. The sleeves are short puffs, lace trimmed. easily, and there is no haunting fear that there may be a parting of ways or an embarrassing dropping of an underskirt. As these garments go over the shoulders, the difficulty ends right there. FOR AMD FLALG , Ld OX, | By Marjorie lcomrant ih CZLY CHORZ CORSET COVER AYD STCL LL ONE LLECE . ONE-PIECE GARMENTS FAVORED.

Two combinations are shown on this page that may be copied without much difficulty. In the opposite corner is a most exquisite little garment. The oddly-shaped yoke partially outlined with narrow lace ingertion, 1s for the most part hand embroidered (padded and eyeleted), supplemented by bands of lace, forming shallow points. From the lower one of the bands springs a cluster of fine hand-run tucks, three sections of these tucks being used in all, at the centre and sides. The scalloped edge has its finish of narrow lace and Tibbon is drawn through the tiny little eyelets. The back follows the general design of the front. The half-length sleeves are similarly designed. The last garment to-be d very new and charming oictineeaee as Sin the lower right hand corner, may be fash- ioned of batiste, fine French nainsook or China silk.
