TTTC arORyiXG OREGONIAX, 'WEDXESDAT, NOVEMBER 5, 1913- N ANNOUNCING . IMPORTANT SALE OF NEW SUIT S J3ettoeen (9urelbe$ Ever and anon we find our knowl edge of the King's English sorely tried in the effort to encompass all that is new in the world. We are grateful when some kindly circum stance provides a name for any of the inventions which surprise us at every turn. - Now, those dainty little bits of lace and chiffon, blossom trimmed, and with satin ribbon for shoulder straps we were loath to call them "corset covers," and, presto, a name is provided. They are "camisoles" from the French, of course. They are the inseparable companions of the transparent blouses. One hesitates to say whether the camisoles exist because of the transparency of the blouses, or is it that the blouses become trans parent because of the loveliness of the alluring camisole? Boudoir caps become more engag ing every day. Their variety is as infinite as that of the more venture some hat. 'All that is required of the bonnet d'interieur is that it be filmy, dainty, and light as air. It may look like an inverted flower, with petals of tinted ribbon and a lining of exquisite lace. It may em phasize its very lightness by a big bow of satin. It may be coquettish or demure, scant or voluminous, as milady wishes, but be that as you please, it is always a thing of be wildering loveliness. "And now-a-days who has ever seen a curl paper? ' The tea table has been too long a household tradition to be entirely supplanted by the afternoon bridge or luncheon of large and formal character. Little tea tables with printed porcelain tops and tea-sets to match have the quaintest air of intimacy. A very striking black and white set was decorated with a broad border of perpendicular stripes. The same bold design decorated the por celain table-top. An English fancy, they say. China Dept., Sixth Floor. Do you believe in fair ies No? Well, you will if you visit our art floor.
