Some of the shops are showing “en- sembles” consisting of pantaloons or bloomers, garters and a bandeau or brassiere. In peach, maize, nile or flesh creps de chine with lace and flower trim- ming a set of this sort appeals to al- mest any young woman. Some women with clever and busy fingers are even making thess evening sets for their friends for Christmas. Sometimes triple georgette or even lace is chosen for the fabric of these dlaphanous and diminu- tive garments. Meantmie, whatever the garment may be, it usually is provided with ribbon straps over the shoulder. Ribbon shoulder straps seem to be taken for granted, and quite frequently take the place of sieeves in the dainty nightgown. For the woman who has trouble with slipping and breaking of shoulder straps there 18 distinct comfort in the new use of yokes, which you may find in night- gowns, slips and chemises. The yoke Is slightly shaped and fits with & degree of snugness. The fastidious woman has these pieces made to order or carefully fitted 50 as to make sure of the snug fitting. In this way the weight of the garment rests somewhat on the yoke and does not hang entirely from a strap. (Copyright, 1924.) THE GUIDE POST By Henry and Tertius Van Dyke. | Freedom.
