Fashionable Blouse Bodices-Six Yards For

Any one possessing pieces of brocade in
bright colors can make a smart vest for
plain bodices by working up the design in
pearls, jet or gold beads. Traceries may
be added of gold thread. A pretty style for
revers is to cut out plain cloth, velvet or
satin in some approved design-a fancy
work shop would do this-and to lay it
over bright color. 1t is delightful work
and enriches toilet to admiration. For
very young girls dress frocks have baby
puff sleeves tied up with strings of pearls,
beads or flowers, as the occasion and ma
terial demand. Bretelles are now continued
to the knee in the skirt, the waist line be-
ing broken by upright bows.
Blouse bodices are as fashionable as ever,
but are less simple than they were, being
