LINGERIE IDEAS.
„A garment that can serve two purposes is the most popular model one can find among the latest lingerie creations. A night- gown that can be worn also as a bedroom gown is.a favourite ex- ample of this new and certainly economical fashion.
A model of this kind is some- what wider than an ordinary nightgown: "it Ets across the shoulders, and, instead of alecvos is cut with a long, straight arm- hole to the waist, the front and back are pleated, and there is always a waistband added in a pale or a dark colour to harmonise with the gown itself. A garment of this sort is particularly useful for travelling."
There is a craze at present for edging the hem of nightgowne and chemises with lace or net. Pale colours, or white in triple voile are chosen and an edging of black lace is added.

They are cut all in- que, ou straight lipes, and with just a panel of pleating let in at each side to afford the necessary width for walking. They look well made up in crepe de Chine and finished at the top with a broad band of double-net em broidered with flowers cut out of the material and appliqued on with the finest of embroidery stitch.
