ing on tan shades, are greatly favor
ed. These tints blend admirably
with the brown and tan tones in suit
fabrics. The new lingerie waists are
also bewitching.
The new silk blouses express de-
cided novelty in every line. The
fancy back is the most marked fea-
ture of these, and one of which we
should all take note. The plain back
and fancy front is exceedingly unbe.
coming to most women. Did we but
know 1t, few of us have pretty backs,
and for this reason we should try to
hide any ungraceful lines, rather
than reveal them with plain back
waist The bodice which blouses
ever so slightly over the top of a
high girdle is extremely becoming,
especially to the woman who is very
long-waisted. In such a waist there
must be a well-boned, tight-fitting
lining to properly confine the figure
beneath the outer blouse and keep
the back from riding up and produc-
ing a round-shoulder 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 con-
trasting note in dark toned silk
braidings. The one that could be
used as an example was of blue taffe-
Ia of light shade, made In simple
shIrtwaist style with deep tucks on
each side of the center-front; the
back also was tucked and matched
the seams on the shoulders TO the
front tucks. The waist fastened in
double-breasted style in front ani
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. The sleeves are full and trim
med with cuffs 10 match the front OF
the blouse Smoked pearl buttons
the size of five cent pieces are set In
groups of two on the braiding OF
the blouse, and likewise on the cuffs.
| The vogue for polka dots is re-
sponsible for some of the most
charming separate waists we have
this season. Soft, sheer silks, chif-
fons, mousselines and even lawns In
dark colors, blue, brown and black,
are seen with a satin stripe over
dotted with spot of white. These
materials are used in some OF the
prettiest dressy separate waists
mounted over thin silk Innings and
trimmed simply with bits of lace.
A pretty blouse was of white
batiste plaided with fine lines OF
blue running diagonally to each
other. The upper part was tucked
with narrow tucks from shoulder to
shoulder, the tucks extending to the
bust line. over these bands OF deli
cate insertion were applied in very
artistic style and the material then
cut away underneath, making a deli
cate lace effect. The blouse fastened
in the back and the neck is finishei
with a stock composed OF two bands
of insertion edged with a frill OF
narrow lace. The sleeves are short
and full and the cuffs also are nm
ished with lace.
Next to the blouse and the plain
shirtwaists comes the shirtwaist suit
which while not so popular as the
Jumpers are becoming well liked by
some smart dressers. They are very
serviceable for morning wear and II
made in a dressy manner may be
worn later in the day. A pretty
shirtwaist costume was developed
from a plaid mercerized taffeta in
browns with a suggestion of green
and pink. The skirt was cut In
seven cores and pleated in front 10
form a panel. The shirtwaist was
cut with V and vest ana three
tucks extending from the shoulders
both back and front with taffeta belt
finished with a green enamel buckle
completed the costume. The sleeves
were large puffs in elbow length,
banded at the button with two bands
OF the taffeta.
There is perhaps no fabric so good
for a shirtwaist suit as the shower
proof foulards. that are so dressy in
themselves, yet so conservative ia
colors and patterns that they may be
used both morning and afternoon
with the leaving OF or putting on OF
certain accessories of dress. A very
smart one made with a circular skirt
