Shirt Waists and Blouses.

jeot of fashionable waists, whether it |
be blouse. lingerie shirt or separate
bodice and 1t is difficult to marshal |
! words to meet the description of !
Dame Fashions latest vagaries The !!
dainty blouse exploiting hand en-
Droidery maintains it's head among
the designs for dressy gear and fire..
quently it takes the form of q semi
fitted bodice. especially if its trim.
ming is arranged in drapad effect.
This idea is exemplified in a chic
model in sbeerest handkerchief linen
in pale blue. The front blouses
slightly over q distinctive girdle of
flowered bule ribbon. A bolero effect
10 given the blouse by the application
Of princesse lace galloon to the fronts.
while the shoulders and heading the
vest there are several rows of cord
shirrinR. The shallow yoke, out al
most square. is also of prinoesse lace
Ralloons. Joined by means of fancy
stitching with blue silk threads.
With the exquisite summer blouses
the girdle of plain or lowered ribbon
is indispensable. In every instance
almost the smart girdle is made over
q stiffened foundation. and there is no
end to the variety of ways in which
it may be finished at the back.
Some loops and long ends of wide
ribbon are sometimes supplied, O
lit may have embroidered eyelet
through which narrow ribbon is
laced. In the second instance the
ribbon should be used with lavish
hand to form a shower effect of
loops and end falling half way down
the dress. OF course with such q gir-
die the opening at the back is only q
clever deception for the fastening is
really effected at the front, the joint
ure being hidden with a shirred piece
of ribbon.
Reverting to the subject of blouses.
however. . delightful little mooel is
shown in white linen. which may be
copied in less expensive quality
of lawn. The blouse closes in the
back, Ms do so many of the smart
models this season. and has q round
yoke. trimmed with repouse lace
banding A chic decorative effect
is achieved by the use of circular
lace medAllions attached to tne lower
edge Of the yoke. The slight full
ness is shirred into the figure at the
waist line and the blouse is finished
without q Rirdle.
For rigid simplicity. yet with all
the smart respect which . semi. tail
ored model commands, the shirt waist
Of tucked lawn has no peer. The
design ia laid in broad tucks all over
and the softeninR touch Of feminity
may be supplied by hemstitching the
tucks.
Adherents Of the fashions. not
"fussy." yet not too plain. and which
might be appropriately classified as
the conservative modes, refuse to
ALLEVIATE themselves from the tailored
shirt waists, 10 that this modish de.
sign has suff cred nothing Of an eclipse
since the appearance of the sheer in
gerie blouse upon the state Of fash
ion. The tailored shirt has . place
of its own. and for outing and Rener.
al wear serves = purpose which its
more delicate rival cannot hope to at.
tain. In oontradistinction to the
fiirtatious little blouse, the tailored
shirt waist is made upon the simp-
lest lines with plain shirt sleeve and
wristband. The sleeve Is sometimes
made with slight fullness at the bot.
tom, only to be pinched up in tiny
tucks or plaits stitched down closely.
The waist itself is tub materials.

madras and linen are used for these
waists.
