y eS are quite Ia mode this n
q year as last. They are becom- a

q As has been the case for a a
@ long time, the laces used are a

q lace, with a touch of Point a

There are several distinct novel
ties presented this summer in white
blouses, but most of these models
show dainty touches of hand work,
which serve to give the blouse its dis
tinction. For wear with tailored
costumes simple little dainty waists
made to fasten from the front and
with plenty of fulness, achieved by
the use of fine hand run tuCks to
yoke depth, are very smart when
worn with one of the detachable
plated frills.
This idea of the plated frill down
the front was seen on several of the
newest models, and especially charm
ing are those which have the edges
of the frills scalloped by hand in fine
wash cotton in color. One blouse of
this sort was of fine French lawn
with edges scalloped and polka-dott-
ed in blue cotton. White embroid-
cred in black or in pink, pale green,
brown or lavender are all equally at
tractive
The opposition which this dressy
separate waist and the lingerie blouse
met with early in the season by rea-
son of the return of the tailored
shirtwaist has been a strong incentive
for the designers both here and
abroad to put forth their best efforts
toward giving us styles so distinctive
that even the most ardent admirers
of the smart tailored novelties could
not fail to appreciate. In its proper
place and at the proper time the
tailored waist is the most appropri-
ate garment one could possibl adopt;
but the dressy tailormade gown
which is looked upon as the most
modish afternoon costume, needs the
additions to a blouse in keeping with
its dressy character.
The lingerie waist which held such
sway last year, has been forced TO
give way in no small measure to the
net and lace blouse, which introduced
itself into fashions realm with n
marked degree of success early in the
past winter. That they have been
steadily gaining in popular favor is
apparent. Cream nets. verging on tan
shades, are greatly favored. These
tints blend admirably with the
brown and tan tones in suit fabrics.
The new lingerie waists are also be-
witching.
The new silk blouses express de
cided novelty in every line. The fan
cy back is the most marked feature
of these, and one of which we should
all take note. The plain back and
fancy front is exceedingly unbecom-
ing to most women. Did we but
know it, few of us have pretty backs.
and for this reason We should try to
hide any ungraceful lines, rather
than reveal them with plain black
waist The bodice which blouses
ever so slightly over the top of a
high girdle is extremely becoming,
>
long-waisted. In such n waist there
must be well-boned, tight-fitting lin
ing to properly confine the figure be-
meath the outer blouse and keep back
from riding up and producing a
round shouldered effect.
The modish jumper blouse Is here
to stay awhile. Light-colored silk
blouses, made in jumper style, to be
worn with dainty chemisettes and
with or without cuffs, show a con-
trasting note in dark toned silk
braidings. The one that could be
used as an example was of blue taft
feta Of light shade, made in simple
style with deep tucls on
each side of the center front; the
back also was tucked and matched
to the seams on the shoulders to
the front tucks. The waist fastened
in double-breast style in front and
the neck was cut out to admit of
dainty chemisette and edged about
with black pull braid and piping
Of black and white silk cut on the
bias and rolled over a feather-bone
cord. Thes leeves are full and
trimmed with cuffs to match the front
of the blouse. Smoked pearl buttons
the size of a five cent piece are set

the blouse, and likewise on the cuffs.
The vogue for polka dots is re-
sponsible for some of the most
charming separate waists we hoye|
this season. Soft, sheer silks, chif-I
fons, mousselines and even lawns in
dark colors. blue, brown and black,
are seen with a satin stripe overdott-I
I'd with a spot of white. These ma
.eriols are used i'm some of the pret-
