SMART LINGERIE.

While for clay ami sport* wear the favourite materials the silk jersevs» real or artificial, with Ih«* finest linen lawn for th»» woman of p\e!ur-ive tastes, undergarments for evening are most often made in crepe lie chine. with ninon, chiffon and net iur the more eX^r^i a gant. The garments are distinctly softer and prettier this year than they ere last season. More lace is used and there is a good deal of very beautiful embroidery. Flesh, peach, pale coral pink and white are the favourite colours, the lace being almost invariably ecru. Some of the prettiest sets shown in Paris at the spring collections were in patterned crepe de chine and chiffon, the nightgowns belonging to these sets having little gathered empire bodices and short puff not unlike those on the frocks worn by •Jano Austen's young ladies. One set, of pink crepe de chine sprigged with tiny rosebuds, was b.iund with blue crepe de chine. These patterned garments, °* course, cannot be worn undep a transparent frock.
