THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, OCTOBER 18 1925—PART 3. ™ Gorgeousness and Luxuriousness Features of New Negliges BY MARY MARSHALL. OME women have quite definitely given up any sort of neglige save the socalled pajama.

Also, Mr. Smith’s bathrobe is | really a robe—and Mrs. Smith pulls on her pajamas with trousers and jacket when she has finished with her morning tub. But then this state of affairs is not very remarkable when quite lin il then you must have Persian pajamas which are newer and smarter and more desirable than the old-time straight ones. The word pajamas and the thing the word indicates we got straight from the Orfent. In India pajamas simply means “leg covering,” and now we seem to be going back to the Orient for fresh inspiration. From Persia comes the inspiration for these new pajamas that fit quite closely over the ankles and calves. Drecoll is one of the three or four French dressmakers who make these new Persian garments. Of course, they can’t be put on and taken off with so much ease and speed as the ordinary stralghtline pajamas, but they are quite distinctive. Drecoll makes these negliges of bright-col- ored satin, one of vivid blue satin shows a coat also of the satin with wide band of brocade around the lower part of the coat, and collar and sleeve edging of white fur. Then there are pajam: fles around the ankles. Probably these have mo Orlental prototypes. You might make a pajama set of this description very easily, choosing any thin printed silk you like. There are pleated ruffies put around the legs, perhaps 8 inches from the ankles, the ruffles being about 8 inches wide. The uppor portion consists of a sleeveless jumper that is put on over the front, with a little apron effect of the pieated silk set in the front of the jumper just about the walst. Satin seems to be one of the favor- ite materials for these neglige paja mas. Sometimes the trousers or paja- mas propér are of the satin worn with jackets or slip-on jumpers of vel- vet—sometimes with sleeves and some- times without. There are three-piece neglige pajama sets, consisting of the pajamas themselves, a sleeveless Jumper top and a long coat. * % x % O course, you may not like paja- mas for neglige wear, and your reason may be quite sensible. Not for any prejudice against going about in trousers instead of akirts, but because it is certainly more trouble to slip into a set of pajamas than to slip on a neglige of the more conservative sort. 1 doubt whether there were ever more gorgeous negliges than those planned for this Autumn and Winter. In truth, we must be living in a very luxurious age, when thousands upon thousands of women throughout the land are wearing or planning to wear negliges more gorgeous, so far as fabric and ornamentation ave con cerned, than the robes of state of princesses of days gone by. To be sure, these gorgeous negliges are high-priced, but judging from the quantities of them shown In the shops of every fair-sized city in the | land, there must be plenty of women who can afford to own them. They are of velvet—that seema to be the favorite fabric—of metal bro- cade, of chiffon and velvet brocade, of metal cloth, of metal lace, and of sat | ins plain or elaborately trimmed with | | metal embroldery or beadwork. Sometimes they are of rich fabrics bearing some sort of elaborate resplend ent ornamentation that is at first sight dlfficult to analyze. The dress with ruf- use of gilded or silvered bits of leather to carry out decorative schemes that are really quite lovely. It is rather characteristic of many of the most interesting negliges that instead of being the trailing, soft, frilly, rather spineless garments to which we have grown accustomed, they have acquired more definite line, more {ndividuality, even severity, without at the same time losing an atom of gorgeousness. In fact, they have acquired more richness as they have lost something of the old-time | frills and furbelows. Of course, there are the old-time feather-trimmed, frilly negliges for those who prefer them, but the most distinguished neglige makers are producing something quite different. The fashlonable neglige of today must sometimes feel like the old woman who went to the market “her eggs for to sell.” She fell asleep o her way home, as you doubtless recall. makers have been very clever this vear. They apply one material on an- | other, and work it round with bead- | | ing or metal embroidery; they make | SILK THAT SHADES FROM OLD BLUE TO GOLD FASHIONS THE NEGLIGE AT THE LEFT, WHICH IS LY WROUGHT WITH GOLD THREAD EMBROIDERY AND TRIMMED WITH FUR.

And then said the old woman, “If it be I, as I think it, my little doggy he'll | know me.” The fashionable designers | and dressmakers have treated the neglize just like that—they have cut off its petticoats all round about un. til it is doubtful whether any of its old friends would recognize if. From time out of mind—from the time when negliges first were worn, probably | they have been long; long enough to cover knees, ankles and even feet. ven when we first wore short skirts we kept our negliges-long, and trains persisted among negliges long after they were almost unheard of with frocks. But {he new negliges are as short as frocks or coats. That is, the fashion- able dressmakers make them that way and for the most part fashion able women accept them in their new | abbreviated version.

It is only among the rather high-priced | negliges that you find the really short skirt. A charming little negliges facket— e sort that you would like to slip our nightgown or thin sleeping pajamas when you read or breakfast in bed—is made of inch-and-a-half-wide pink velvet ribbon, worked together with faggoting. The entire jacket is made of this pink velvet ribbon work- ed together horizontally. Black silk is still a favorite material for the neglige pajama suit. Trousers are of black silk with silk showing bright printed design on black founda tion used for the jacket or jumper section. Often bands of the printed silk finish the black silk trousers and bands of the black finish the printed silk jacket. Now black satin is used instead of lighter bright silks quite frequently. Black satin forms the trousers and black satin elaborately embroldered with color forms the Jacket part.

He simply bubbles over with them—every day a new one, glittering with promise. They are good ideas, too—all workable. He tackles each one enthusiastically, and makes fine plans for the things he's going to do. But the trouble he never completes them. He never finishes the job. It is easy to start something. The world is full of people. who do that. But not so many of them complete the job. That's the thing. You feel so much better when vou have a com- pleted job to look back on instead of only an idea for which enthusiasm has been lost. 1. G, through the air across the Sheangan Valley. After marking the spot where the grouse had fallen, the keeper pro- ceeded on his journey, returning through the same pass in about two hours. As he neared the place where he had seen the eagle rain com- menced to fall, and, whistling in his dog, the man took shelter. He had not been sitting long before he was considerably startled by the swish of pinions, coupled with almost simul- taneous sharp pain in his ankle. A glance round showed that the eagle and his dog were in combat, and in swooping the eagle had seized | upon the man’s leg just as the dog ! and bird got to close quarters. The | fight was a fierce one, but ultimately vietory lay with the dog. So firmly had. the eagle fixed its talons into the keeper’s ankle that the bird's leg had to be severed.
