that the dismissal is certain to result

POINTS OF THE FALL BLOUSE
Some Things That the Amateur Maker
Must Be Careful Not
to Forget.

Several little new points have
bobbed up for the amateur maker OF
the new fall blouse. She will recog.
nize in them, first, the renewed sane.
ton Of the shirt waist. So long as
the coat suit exists and is renewed
and improved upon las in the coming
fall models), the blouse will spring
forth with some fresh touch.
A tendency exists In favor Of long
shoulder line, whether 1t be got by
the actual cut or the trimming.
The banded bishop sleeve will prob
ably be favorite in the lingerie
blouse.
The sheer frill in front of the heav-
Ter blouse will most frequently be
used down the left side or crossing
from the left shoulder to the waist
line
Yokes of lightweight linen are to
be introduced in some of the heavier
linen blouses and the collar in all
garments of the better quality is to
be made to match it. This last is, no
doubt, natural turning away from
the low-priced separate collar
