No etisy time will milady have with her lingerie this ! summer, for lingerie having forsaken] ills straight ami narrow way shows no) signs of slackening Its mad rush to- j ward fulness. It is useless to deceive yourself by thinking you can make I your petticoats and Klips of last season do for this. The old tube-like under inuslins are, out of the question with the voluminous skirt of the present I mndu. ? Far better bow to funhlon and buy a hoop skirt. If hoop skirt sounds far-fetched to you. it's onlyjiecause you have not seen the dainty creation masquerading un der the old name. They are useful and graceful, these sklrta with . the reed, Taffeta Petticoat That Flares to the Limit of Fulness. and they are actually going to wear them with filmy frocks this summer. One store features several in white ami pastel shades of crepe de Chine with a flexible wire Inserted above a deep lace flounce. As the skirt measures only two yards where the wire Is placed, it acts the 8a me as a stiffly starched skirt, without the hulk and clumsiness. An other house, in the very heart of the shopping district, heretofore noted for it* conservativeness. shows a model of ribbon and net, conspicuously placed tn the' ftoudolr window. This in Itself ? , . ,1, ?HJIN jp? i,n f '"A 'V /" ' '* *"* ' ** ?? '?"? Ih not n iM'ttir.mt, hut merely a founda tion coming to till* knot*, formed of a shirred piece of net three inches wide, stiffuncd uU Dltlier Hl(h' ami Mis|>eiidcd from ? waistband with half-Inch rib Ihuw. Significant of the change hi under wear fashions, lingerie |>ctticoa|H meas ure from three to ten yards in width. Now, when you buy au underskirt you do a patriotic act, for t hese t amhrh: Mint muslin skirts consumed a largo share of those faulous bale* of cotton we heard so much of last fall. Some cspoclu^y J?retty tine cambric and* inns Hit models aro shown in three and live gores, trimmed with galloons of em broidery and Valenciennes, lilet of 11 erre lace. These threaten the vogue of er?|H?. do Chine whleh has loine ,t<> be almost a staple. The voveltles of the season are skirts of mull combined with narrow net ruffles. An Empire design, made to wear with the new Empire dresses, Is fashion**! in this fabric and hangs straight from the bust. All in all, however, staples out number tlie novelties this season. The white washable sateen sklrtn offered with wide pleated flounces are splen did to wear with thin frocks. The tex ture is so close, that till' re isn't the slightest chaticc of the wearer's llgnre 1 el^ig sllhoueltiMl in the sun. Drop skirts for cjoth stilts are, of coulee, more moderate in width, meas uring from two to three and ii half yards. Ilere, taffeta predominates and as in the suit Itself, blue Is the leading color, although there are some white taffetas and Dolly garden effects, which Idd fair to lie extremely popu lar during the summer. Kuehiugs ami pinked ruffles are the two modes <Sf trimming, It la surprising how many VO'si^us cjyi be accomplished wiiii these. A taffeta skirt of ^lie deep Rocky Mountain blue shows an odd effect in the fuelling which is placed zig-zag fashion in the center of the flounce. Others have the I'uehlngs in straight rows, anil the pinked rull|es are put oil In. the zig-zag manner or drajKMl' like garlands, on the lower skirt. Many of the stores display these, skirts with brassieres, the tighter the better, no doubt for contrast, or per chance because there lr< mo much new in in brassiere fashions. c It Is inter esting to note that the front closings have completely replaced the old crosiu. ed-ln-the-baek styles, which at best were lll-litting, uncomfortable gar ments. Above1 the bust line some of the new waists are elaborately embroi dered and trimmed with lace. One ex , pensive, hand-made model of linen lias a .voice and short sleeve embroidered with a conventional rose design, and the edges buttonholed with tiny scal lops. However, brassieres afe not all fancy. Others have degenerated Into . A mere strapless bust supporters. A rub 4?ee brassiere tftey offer for sale at $0.00 is said to reducethe bust , two inches. If this Is true, there may be no doubt of lta future popularity. ~. Civil Service Examination. * "* ? ? y '? * * " ? * ? - . .
