Show LINGERIE II BY EDNA EGAN jrgfjj OW many women have stool ' j g before the Bhop windows at Js2J this season and admired tho beauty of the lingerie. Tho airy, fairy fllmsincss which consti- j tutes the major part of the new under- (I wrar is surely a far cry from tho jj unbleached underwear of our Puritan sisters. Flesh color has become tho j favorite again this season and much of it is offered at the so-called whito sales this month. i A great variety of material Is shown ranging from pink cotton to shell j tinted georgette, while delicate pink j war.hable satin makes serviceable yet r exquisite undergarments. Crepe do ! chine, though the first fabric offered U3 in the way of silk underwear, has j somewhat dropped behind the proces- i slon. Jersey and Italian silk are quite in "vogue at the present moment. Snug "knickers," with clastic casings, ' have been advanced until they aro worn by nearly everybody. ' Even If you have only a limited amount to spend, you may still pos- ' j rcss some of this lovely underwear. j Ou'-of-date evening gowns may bo brought into use by the home dress- maker for this purpose. - A delightful fluffy petticoat was re- ( cently made by a school girl whose pocket money was limited. A pink I messaline satin foundation was used f from an out-grown dancing frock. Two stripes of shadow lace were in-sertcd in-sertcd panel-like down the front. This gave more width to tho skirt and more at the waist band. A knife pleated net ruffle was attached to lengthen the garnjent. Fine lace edging, match-Ing match-Ing the panel design was placed on the edge of the net ffouncc. The H flouncing was headed by lace beading fl an inch wide drawn through with very palo blue ribbon. Tiny rose buds, made from little gathered satin ci 'cles were placed in the centre of the blue ribbon rosette. The net undcrflounce was dotted IJ here and there by the hand-made buds This dainty creation could -be copied in crepe de chine or pink cotton crepe, which has a silk finish and hangs gracefully. H Under a sheer blouse an attractive H camisole is necessary, and n 'ward- IH robe is complete without several of i! H lhese fascinating garments. Any ono can make them, they are so simplo H and there is such a variety of models in vogue. For the beginner a simplo plcot style is best. Take the bust H measure and cut a strip of washeablo H satin about three and half Inches longer, and about eight Inches wide. |
