NEW LINGERIE NOTIONS By J OAN ROSSITER. Never has lingerie been more wellshaped, or more varied than now; an important innovation this season being the use of luxurious jackets which are as freely worn with negligee garments, as those other coatees, which go with the day clothes. Yet, despite the great variety in shape and material, there Ts'Sne universal feature about new lingerie, and that is the colour. All the smartest underclothipg is pink! The most/delicate tones are chosen, and these never fail to give a soft and pleasing appearance to the material used, whether silk or cotton. Black is also favoured, not, so much as decoration, but as an entire garment. For instance. I have seen at a recent display, a black satin dressing-gown, lined with pink, revealing a glimpse of extravagant lace cami-knickers, all black, under a pink kimona. STRAWBERRY PINK Nightgowns and pyjamas are most carefully shaped these days. One of the most original models in town is a nightgown of strawberry-pink satin beaute, with strappings of silver, accompanied by a well-cut jacket of the same materials. There is also an enviable pair of pyjamas, made from white spun silk. This has a sleeveless tunic with revers and collar, two V-shaped patch pockets and a narrow sash at the back only. The long straight trousers hang loosely. Then there is the quaintest of trimmings, in the form of three narrow rows of cream filet lace, sewn at the ankles, on the collar, the armholes and across the tiny pockets. Hemstitching is introduced as a design on the front of the short tunic. Very attractive is the set of flowered chiffon and lace knickers, petticoat, nightgown and fashionable jacket, designed by a well-known dressmaker, who displays alternative nightgowns. One nightgown has short sleeves, square neck, with a tie of the material at one corner. The other is made with a lace yoke, narrowing to points on the shoulder, where it is adorned by coloured satin bows. The coatee in this set is made like the outdoor georgette coats with long ends of the material, tied in a bow at the neck. THREE IN ONE Many ingenious brassier-and-corset-in-one garments combine short knickers as well. And when in flesh silk and firm, patterned satin, one could not desire anything more dainty and useful. As most girls make some of their lingerie at home, one sees in the shop windows, many flowered taffetas, all ready prepared for running together into cami-knickers. The made-up embroidered linens are excellent for the more durable garments, while spun silks with vandyke points of lace create very rich-looking underwear.
