A CLEVERLY ARRANGED BLOUSE.
An attractive manner Of arranging the blouse
that one sees a good deal of now is to have "A
fancy front Stimulating an underwast, with a
wide point of the material that forms the gown
drawn over II from side seam. This point may
begin at the shoulder seam and fasten on the bust
with a bow slOping away again TO the waist line,
and the material drawn over may be fulled or htted
snugly 10 the figure; but to carry out the idea OF
the underwaist partly covered by the bodice
proper the underpiece in front should contrast
with the rest of the gown IN color and material
This idea is carried out on two gowns or a
trousseau that Is under way now. One Is the we'd
ding gown itself which Is particularly pretty ana
glrlish The material Is satin Of the oyster-she!l
tint and the trimming fine ostrich-feath her bands
and pearl embroidery. This use OF the two shades
of white is most effective About the hem extends
a wide band Of the feather trimming, anG on each
eide Of the train. the bottom, are addSd
sprays OF orange blossoms The front OF the
blouse bodice H. covered with an embroidery or
pearls. and the point that crosses half way over
the bust is Of the plain satin, edged with q mar
fcw band Of feathers. The entire bodice blouses
d trine. The sleeves are Of mOusseline de sole
trimmed with orange blossoms and another bunch
OF flowers Is placed at the waist line on one side
The other gown j. entirely different In character:
II Is a visiting costume of brown velvet combined
with cream satin, the satin being arranged as
shingles to form the front OF the bodice and side
panel on the skirt. a band OF ohinchilla extends
