Womanly daintiness marks every combination and corset-cover, every petticoat and nightgown, every chemise.’
True taste and thorough knowledge of women‘s preferences is shown in the styles, in the harmonious trimming, in
the choice of fine muslins and nainsooks and batistes. in the adapting of lace or of embroidery to those fabrics.
There are a number of new and delightful underthings. :Some appeal to one who loves simplicity; are of naigaoolp
with hardly, a touch of decoration except fine hematitclling and equally- -fine needle-work. Some are frilly with beautiful
laces, beautified with embroidery of attractive pattern notably so are the nightgown: at $3. $4 and $5.
. What a splendid gathering of underclothea at lower prices! There are the sweetest pink batiste gowni at 89 cell
for example. Their decoration is either hemstitching or dainty lace.
