The saleswoman suggested that If
strips of broadeloth had been trimmed
from the fitted skirt, band, though
but one inch wide, stitched upon the
sleeve here and applied to the surplice
effect, would produce an idea that the
blouse was made for the costume. 1t
was very clever of her, as she made
more than one sale among the listen
ing group.
Hardly had the first customer de-
parted when dowager appeared bear
ing dark purple street frock which
she had just bought, and she wanted
a service blouse. This took her to the
adjoining counter, where peau de sol
and taffeta waists were heaped high.
There her suit was spread out and
she departed happy in the possession
of a plated satin blouse, long sleeyed.
trimmed with buttons and novelty lace
in the same shade, determined to get
all the scraps of her dress to apply In
narrow bands.
Net and cluny waists are particu
larry enchanting, The filet lace waist
is made plain over tinted silk slips and
with three-quarter sleeves. Bands of
| tilet lace fall over the shoulders in the
Japanese long shoulder styles. The
simple net blouse becomes elaborate
when a yoke of contrasting la,e and
medallions are inserted. Blouses OF
this order, some of which launder in
the home tub and all of which clean
nicely, are to be had from So up.
Messoline silk waists with dainty
yokes and frills of val lace in evening
shades of pink, blue, white or green
are charming in expensive inventions
for necessary dress occasions, begin
ming at SIS and climbing to $50, accord
ing TO the trimming, the quality of the
lace and the originality of the design.
With bated breath the waist lover
pauses before the lace blouses of ex-
elusive fashioning. Cluny lace is most
popular, and other rich, heavy, laces
are used to make blouses that sag Of
their own weight yet which show rich
ness in every inch
Venetian point and genuine old laces
are initiated with success in blouse
materials. The fad seems to be for
bewildering mingling of Medallions,
ffills and nets in one waist and per-
haps little hand embroidery thrown
in.
Long-shouldered effects of the h-
mono sleeve are most popular in the
laces. Again the shoulder-strap idea
of oriental embroidery with a much
bounced sleeve is shown In very ex-
pensive importations. The lace frills
of sleeves are made exceedingly full,
and while the evening waists curtail
the length to the elbow, the afternoon
styles lengthen to three-quarters, and
the mitten sleeve in lace is bound to
be accepted, especially by devotees OF
the golf course
Among the silk waists for odd occaa-
ions Persian patterns have come
again. 1t seems as IL colors could not
be too gay nor too rich, and the short
eclipse OF last year only gave the silk
manufacturers time to take breath and
to evolve something gayer than ever
has been seen before
Persian patterns are indescribabiy
gorgeous. The Persian-bordered taffe-
tas in blue, brown and black, with bor-
ders unspeakaoly lovely. are woven es-
pecially for waistings. Then there are
the new MORE stripes, and the ready-to-
wear waists OF these are gay and rich.
Simple silks show edges of the
Greek key and the honeysuckle con-
vential design, which will make up
satisfactorily. The ready-to wears I'm
these are refined to fault. Barred
and plaid silks in color are cut into
blouses hand embroidered in plain
silks and trimmed with buttons and
