But there are others of Amer- rot lean design that are really better liked th< by our own people and that merit the sill preference shown them. They are lac graceful, dignified, more or less simple th< garments, often developed in beautiful lef fabrics. They reveal an appreciation ter of what can be done with lovely colors co' when designers are not restricted in * using them. It is in the realm of negligees that they can give fancy free play and be more daring than even i evening dress will warrant and a little f Journey Into the shops convinces one that designers make the most of this privilege. , Speaking of dignity in this apparel, some of the new negligees have acquired so much of It that they might on be easily mistaken for evening dresses.

In this dress the tunic is set I to a narrow yoke, which extends 1 ove the waist and fastens to the dice. Two large buttons that re- ' it the colors used, call attention to 1 s feature.
