THE BOUDOIR beauty has had her day. The girl who drifted along in a cloud of chiffon hung with frills and festooned with fripperies is as dated as the chaise longue. She just couldn't keep pace with present- day living.

The biggest sales of transparent, diaphanous nightwear are to young brides- to-be. But when the honeymoon's over they come down to earth with a bang and the next time they shop they want some- thing pretty but practical too.

The simple fact is that when time is at a premium you don't want to waste it ladies- maiding your lingerie,

You can't cook the breakfast trailing a mass of ruffles from a lily-like wrist.

You can't greet the milkman in a Naughty- Nineties nightic. And you'd look pretty silly pottering out to water the geraniums in a little sce-through shift.

So from practicality a new fashion is born. A fashion which in one go kills the purposeless negligee and replaces the horror of the overall ཡ; fashion which, like all the best ideas, makes you wonder why They never thought of it before.

Today I give you the first view of the new fashion: the day-and-nightwear.

IF your afternoon includes a laze in hammock or a spell in the pun choose a trimmed-up track suit or the bedtime bikini-pretty enough to pack in your hollday suitcase.

IF your evening offers a chance to sit down and a spell with the telly, choose a vamped-up nightshirt- belted tighty, dressed up with your favourite jewels.

And every one docs a nightshift.

bidding mentioned from time to time in these articles is the 15-17 point no-trump. This is just one point less than the 10-18 point no-trump used by many players. If you desida lo play 15-17 instead of 16-18 the change over is easy. Just add one point to all your responses.

One of the valuable by-prod- ucls of the 15-17 point no- trump is that a player who opens with one of a suit and bids to one no-trump guarantees that he does not hold 15 high card points.
