Popularity of the
ailored Shirtwaist

The popularity of the tailored shirt
waist for morning and outdoor wear u
vastly on the increase, and tho stock
and belt worn Herewith are expected to
be Of the same plain and severe type. All
sorts OF wash materials, provided that
they be of sufficient body and nrmness OF
weave, are in vogue, and handwork, ex-
cept in the buttonhoIes. is not expected.
Three or four broad pleats are laid on
either side OF the front. coming well out
on the shoulder. and making for that broad
line which is the accepted thing just now.
The fastening is usually effected with
buttons and buttonholes posed in the GEN.
ter Of a stitched box pleat, and stitched
down side pleats serve to adjust the
fulness at the waist. Most OF the recent
designs display laidon yoke In the back,
usually shallow, and with a point In the
center. The sleeve follows the regulation
shirt patterns, except that 1t IL fuller In
the top than were those OF Last season,
and the stif cuff Is the inevitable wrist
finish In this type Of blouse. Stock and
belt are OF linen and embroidered to
match, a fad that has been extremely
favored during the summer. and promises
to maintain all of its hold during the
winter season.
PIaids Mako Popular Trimmings.
The tailored shirt maintains all OF lts
hold upon current fashions. despite the
overwhelming popularity OF the frilly and
oftentimes too fussy lingerie blouse.
Linens OF a goodly flrmness. madras.
cotton serges and cheviots. and the new
linen drill, are all favored, ana q plain
severity IL their distinguishing hall mark
The waist pictured IL from q house we'll
and favorably known for its shirts. and
displays rather a novel innovation In the
use of a ~bias strapping sewn nat to the
linen between the broad box pleats that
occupy the fronts. The back IL similarly
arranged. but with three. instead of i've
pleats, and on the shoulders there u the
same little strip OF bias plaid inserted
between the pleats. The collar II OF the
linen drill, with the plaid for trimming.
and the smart little Windsor tie n Q
separate affair. though made from the
shirt materials. The sleeve II comfort
ably full throughout. the shoulder seam
broad, and the wrist finished with Q stt6
linked cuff. For wear with q walking
skirt, this model IL one that will be
sure of a popular acceptance throughout
the season.
In Lace MeIangs.
There are 50 many inches In even the
blouse alone can oil that the reason for
It's vogue Is not far to seek. The fancy
for a combination OF two or more laces
In the one design still continues, the
genres being pretty well contrasted. The
Iaces. however, must be carefully chosen,
else the result would be one suggestive
of bargain-counter forays and remnant
finds. Where at all possible. such LITTLE
blouses are best fashioned by hand, and
faggoting and fancy lace stitches used
to Join the different strips. In the pic
ture the yoke is made of a sprigged VAL
enciennes Joined with a Cluny beading.
while broad Cluny IL alternated with IN
appenzalI for The body OF the blouse.
The short sleeve Is OF the same mate
rial. and bias bands OF white satin over
laid with a narrow edging serve to give
little touch OF character between the
strips of lace. large V-shaped set
piece In embroidery is posed effectively
on the front, and the fastening L. a.
usual. In the back.
