TIIE OMAITA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 4, 1900. Fashions in Lingerie The Fashionable Slender Figure Demands the Most Carefully Tailored Undergarments Sheer and Dainty Materials Are Features of the Spring Undergarments. 10 : 1 HE combination garments that I first Introduced several seasons I ago are crude attempta at lin gerie tailoring In comparison to models recently, brought out. Past aeaaona thla term meant nothing more nor less than the petticoat or drawers Joined with the comet cover by a straight belt of embrcldery or beading. The combination of today are well de signed, cut and made to conform to every line of the figure without the slightest suggestion of fullnosa anywhere and at the aame time are as comfortable and prac tical as they are pretty. A Few Choice I.ate Novelties. The general vogue for tho cne-pteca dresses makes It necessary to do away with any undergarments that will mar tha smoothness of the outer garment. For the woman who wears the short petticoat thora are the three-piece combinations which Serve the purpose of corset cover, drawers and ahort petticoat. A knee-length pleated drawer-skirt Is one of the recent Imported novelties which is well liked by good dressers. The princess drawer Is another high-class novelty combination which Is cut in one piece like a princess. Another departure In lingerie tailoring la the shortened waist In the corset cover and the high cut , skirt-drawer la true empire fashion. The high-class combinations are also drawn to a point in front and are fitted very snugly so that garments worn over them should fall . smoothly without wrinkles. . . '. , Popalar Combination Garraeats. Drawer and corset cover. combinations are the most popular of lingerie styles. The princess skirt cut In piece or in semi-effect. Is another popular garment. Cover and short skirt combinations . are . favored by. women who must wear more than one skirt Knickers and extreme short fitting petticoats are shown only for the ultra dressers. Separate - skirts, ' corset covers and drawers are still-to be seen. - In gowns, the slip-over, low neck gar ments are much In evidence, while the banded empire has lost none of Its vogue. Among the French lingerie the chemise In still to be seen, : but the tendency for tailored underwear has done much to dls popularlze the chemise. Sheer Material, Dainty Embroidery. There Is a continuance of vogue for sheer and soft materials. Cross bar and striped dimities, embroidered and dotted Swiss, batiste and allover embroideries are employed extensively. The high-class gar ments show a great deal of sheer linen, French batiste and hand embroideries In dainty floral design. There is also' a wide employment of, fine linen laces for the high end, while .val. stfll remains a popular lace for . the leas expensive numbers. ' Much Is done with embroidered flouncing, for drawers and corset covers are often made entirely of the flouncing. Convent made embroideries. In simple designs are finding favor with all classes of dealers; The general tendency In ..lingerie is for dainty simplicity. , ' Colors In . Llna-erie. . One. of the most pronounced novelties ' In lingerie this season la the ubb of colored embroideries. Of course, . only- the, light and delicate shades are used, such as light blue, pink and hello, and great care is taken not to make tho color too pro- nounced. The wide use of ribbon In color has paved the way for this color treat ment In the new lingerie, but ribbons can be removed during tho laundering process and the colored embroideries - must stand the test of washing. All white lingerie, therefore. Is shown In larger numbers, for the colored variety Is at present considered quite ultra; to be used by the overfastldi oua, who want their undergarments to har monise with the general color scheme of the toilette. Gloves. The tendency for black and white gloves, among the high class of trade, promises to become more general the coming sea son. Not only for dressy wear Is thera such a demand for black and white, but for street wear more black gloves have been sold this winter than for many sea sons. The Indications for early spring point to wide demand for the short glove In glace, suede, the heavier leather and even silk, when it becomes warmer, but buyers of the large department stores seem to be pretty confident that during summer the long gloves of silk and lisle will be as muoh In demand as ever. For early sett ing the large city stores have quite a showing of the season's -new colors and shades for matching purposes, but as the season advances there Is always a large demand for the colors that harmonise rather than match 'the costume. - In silk gloves there Is a wide showing of black and white. White especially looks very promising for midsummer selling. Tan boa become a leading staple color. In weight, stitching and style of leather, there is no decided change in glove fashions. There has been a better demand for 'one clasp leather gloves stitched In mannish glove effect by the smart dreneers, but for gen eral selling the fine glacea and suedes seem to be better liked. , v . TrlnaaUnaTS ana Battons. For summer there Is a wide showing of embroidered wash trimmings of every de scription in binding, edge and medallion form. Pendants, taseela and drop orna ments made of linen are also important Items in summer trimming. Soutache and embroidered effects on net are still In the lead. A great deal of metal, beaded and jeweled effects, jet, tinseling and ' sequin trimmings of all sorts are features of Uis new trimmings. For popular selling the fancy belting and bandings are excellent, while fringe, drop ornaments, tassels and pendants of all sorts In jet, metal and other effects, are still the high class trim mings. Ball fringe and tassels are in good demand for finishing sashes, girdles and neck ornaments. Black Is better than ever and the tendency for sombre trimmings with bold dashes of bright coloring and gold and silver effects Is quite pronounced. . Buttons are shown In fabric covered ef fects, metal, enamel, steel, jet and pearl. Slides and tiny buckles for trimming pur poses In steel, enamel and rhlnestone ef ects are in great evidence. Laces. . i The' lace outlook for the coming season Is Very, promising according to fashion Indications.- While ' the figure outline has changed but little, the simply, made gar . ments. of .last season must give way to the elaborate trimmings that are promised, great vogue. The heavy linen laces are IT. IT. w- -a :v .'! " - j - at t . x a' w Mi f r t issar Be K as .i- .. srt U'VIR riJla isf i Usui ft A. ".-.J ' .KjJV a'-; -a" jBpr : ... ft V'i . k .,:....:.
