NEW LINGERIE,

Colour Most Important.

Colour is superintively important where lingerie le concerned, and may match the accessories of your costume, or the costume itself. Turquolse lingerie to tie up with turquoise accessories is the profer- red undertone. Ash-pink is an other. White or black and white daytime lingerie is to be had for the millions of magpie devotees. Materials in the preferred category

erope-de-chine, iuatroless satin, silk linen, and silk batiste.

The daytime, iden of avoiding nil transparency via your lingerie has its partisans for evening also, and the dressmaker who dressed her man- nequins only in pink silk jersey bathing-suits under flowing even- ing skirts has not succeeded in her daring plan. Aais matter of fact there is great gasping going on in the best society over the idea, and a great protest from husbands!
