NJ HERE Ia evidently not the small
est intention OF shelving the
lingerie blouse. SO comfortable
and useful has II proved itself
that women would probably arise en-
mssse to defend II IL necessary and

grades of flncness and OF price arc I'm

The one infalllble sign OF tho new
vintage is the sleeve. and those Won.
en- VINO have handsome blouses left
over from last summer must rack
their brains for ingenious methods OF
making short sleeves over into long
ones If they want the old blouses 10
masquerade as new, Fortunately-thc hero
are innumerable ways OF attaining
this end
Valenciennes. cluny and Irish laces
are all used for blouse trimming. as
usual, and considerable English open
work embroidery enters into the de-
signs. Bands OF this embroidery In
various widths may, by the way, be
obtained at the trimming counters,
the embroidery being done on strips
OF fine batistc 80 that II may be In
troduced into the design Of blouse
with quite the effect of embroidery
done 10 order on the blouse material.
Much fine tucking enters into most
of the designs and there are some eN-
ccllcnt models tucked oil over, The
cotton crepe which has been 40 popu-
lar a blouse material this winter re-
appears In new models and In both
white and color, but II Is no longer

One of tho newest shirt waist mod
els for everyday wear is developed
from fine. thin 1annelette, In stripes
OF small conventional design on u
white. cream or colored background,
with narrow border.
The waist is tucked on the shoul-
ders TO form a yoke. the border being
employed as Il decoration down the
front closing and for the band Guns
confning the bishop sleeves.
The medium-sized waist calls for
three and onc-balf yards, the larger
ones demand four yards often
quarter more. The sleeve arrange
ment Is responsible for this.
The sheer handkerchief linen shirt
waist has a provoking way of going
into holes Just below the collar band
long before the rest OF the garment
begins 10 show signs of wear.
or course. even the most painstak-
ing darning will destroy the dainti.
ness of such a shirt waist when the
mendlng must be in such a conspicu-
GUS place.
One clever woman has hit upon the
notion OF setting into such shirt
waists the fine linen handkcrchiefs
which come with small bordcred em~
broiderlcs Just above the narrow hem.
The handkerchief. with the hem care
fully cut away, may be set into the
blouse with the points coming at back
and front and one the shoulder seams.
Striped silk waists arc finished with
lace yokes and collars. and silk
plastron fancifully cut and outlined
with plain silk The bishop sleeves
with cuffs are found upon such
waists.
The net blouses which have played
so important role for months past
arc still In vogue but In a simpler
form as not SO much lace and more
tucking Will be employed I'm their
makeup. For this reason a good quail
ity of net should be selected II the
garment Is to prove really servlceablo.
Some of these new blouses have quite
wide box plaits at back and front. the
edge of each plait finished with frill
of narrow valenclennes or cluny lace.
while others have succession OF wide
tucks at either side of q platStron of
Irish lace. Again no lace whatever
Is employed, but upon the tucks Irish
crochet buttons and drops are set. or
there are narrow straps Of biased
white satin or taffctas.
The blouse OF the season is so devoid
OF blousiness that 1t would not be
amiss 10 call II a straight jacket. a
single plalt at the point of the shoul-
der, a stretch OF material drawn
across the bust, with the tinicst tucks
at the waist line that add practically
no fullness watever. Is what tho
blouse shirt waist Is today The back
Is counterpart OF the 'front.' so tar aB
pleinness goes. The sleeves arc long
and plain. the collars high. They are
made of embroidered batiste, alloyer.

and fine weaveS.
The newest blouseS and separate
waists show the closing other down
tho front or at the side. for which
very many women will be thankful.
Only one-plece dresses arc fastened
down the back. This is so whether
the model is princess, empire. semi
princess, etc.
Long sleeves prevail, the palmer
models bearing the bishop style, taken
into band cufIs, while a few OF tho
dressier waists are made at tho arm
hole-that is. the arm hole is made.
but no extra fullness is In the sleeves.
They are then made 10 M the arm
with buttons and loops placed on the
inner seam OF the sleeve.
