of a Jacket and petticoat. Such a toilette

callers, the petticoats designed for thpm
are bcwllderlngly charming Kitting snugly

Then, since this department of dress
admits of IndulKclice In individual fancies,
eooie of the deep collars and sleeve effects

a more popular place In public favor.

chosen, such a wrapper can be made to

Apropos of petticoats, not only they,
but underwear In general, virtually come
under the negligee head, for many house
things are made with the definite Intention
of displaying dainty undertoggery. So for
auch sorts there are chemises of tine lawn

coats as gay with lace and ribbon as out
aide skirts, and which show lietween the
fronts of the dressing sacque or wrapper.

Rejane setting the fashion last summer
for these simple textures they have been
