WASHABLE BLOUCE

AS we have mentioned before stripes
season. We meet with them in all
the materials Even tulle and Chif-
fon are now made in stripes, and
mousseline de sole is very attractive
when striped with satin--more espe-
Cially, black satin. This is one Of
the fayorite materials of the moment,
and very lovely it, looks when mount
ed on a foundation Of silver tulle and
when worn with a sash Of crepe de
chine in some vivid shade-such as
ccrise, emerald, green or lancret-blue.
Some of the new gauZes are striped
Indian muslin with cross-bar lines in
velvet and in satin.
1t is quito certain that stripes can
be made to make the figure look
slender if they are properly manipu-
lated but they demand master hand
at all times and no woman who
weighs more than seven stone should
dream of adopting them in any but a
perpendicular position.
Something embroidered is the or
der with every weldressed woman,
for nothing seemingly is complete
without this adornment, and thus
fashions seem TO insist on the in
crease of hand labor and a compare
tive contempt for the assistance of the
sewing machine. The latest thing in
fanciful embroidery devices is our old
friend the bugle. This in crystal or in
Jet was seen recently in most success

following a lace design upon net
foundation.
One of the fancies OF the moment
is 10 be very long on the shoulders.
and many Of the loose bodiCes which
overhang the belt in blouse fashion,
show wide armholes reminiscent Of
the Chinese outline, with loose sleeves
coming through these, oyerhauging
some tight white lace sleeves which

to describe this wide armhole. but il

with the skirt striped from waist to

black velvet ribbon, the trimming on
the bodice following this idea. while
at the neck a small N-shaped piece of
ivory lace mounted over chiffon was
justified by the undersleeves to

Talking Of skirts reminds me that
