going out of fashion is its adaptability
for travelling and outing wear. 1t is
than an entire light suit, and several
fresh ones take up comparatively little
space in suit case. A woman with a
coat suit and half dozen blouses, some
elaborate. others plain for ordinary
wear, can tour Europe in comfort and
with economy and yet pass muster at
such hotels she visits.
Perhaps the most practical as well as
the most attractive of the tailored
blouses is the Peter Pam" which has
caught the popular fancy like wildfre.
and which is made up in all materials
ity madras.
The material required Is about three
yards, and If so desired the collar and
cuffs may be of a contrasting color. The
true Peter PAN" as every one knows,
lacks the stiff, uncomfortable collar
band and button. The soft turn down
collar is fastened directly TO the neck
of the blouse, which Is cut slightly
open at the throat in front on the order
of the old-fashioned sailor blouse. but
not enough to render an inner vest
necessary. Under the collar and fast
ened in a sailor knot in front is a gay
colored taffeta tie. The sleeves just
cover the elbow and have turnback
cuffs to match the collar. The blouse is
stitched down either side Of the front

often one or two tucks from each
shoulder, but this Is about the only at

open throat gives GOODNESS and comfort.

The Peter Pan" suit has followed
closely upon the blouse. The suit has
the plain skirt to correspond with the

wear, being neither so negligee as a
wrapper nor so formal as a regular
