IA OF to possess an East Indian
blouse. this autumn, will be to
argue ones self unknown -
y + from a sartorial standpoint.
This new blouse is the novelty of the
season and is already the craze in
Paris, though as yet only a few choice
examples have made an appearance in
America. All East Indian effects are,
Of course, to be extravagantly popular
because of the coming visit of the
English King to the durbar and the
visit of East Indian potentates in Eng
land during Coronation time. OF all
the Oriental types, the East Indian
types are the most harmonious and
pleasing, for designs are delicate and
colors are soft and subtle, lacking
the crude garishness of Chinese,
Turkish, or Egyptian effects.
A delectable East Indian blouse
comes from Worth. who stands spon-
sor for the style, though these bIouses
have been initiated now by every
dressmaker in Paris. The Worth
model is made of creamy tan chif-
Ton cloth and is really a short tunic
rather than a blouse. falling over just
the hip and confined at the natural
waistline by a soft sash of sage green
chiffon which is knotted gracefully
at the side. The narrowest lines of
green and white bead embroidery
trim the blouse and dangling from
the sleeves and the lower edge at
front and back are queer l'+tle square
ornaments made of green and pink
beads. Such a blouse may be worn
with any skirt of sufficiently soft ma
terial, though of course these dressy
East Indian blouses look best over
a skirt of satin or crepe de chine.
One of today's illustrations shows
an East Indian waist of gold colored
crepe embroidered with beads The
tunics are also made of cream coIored
eyelet embroidered batiste but what
ever the material the effect must be
very soft and dainty and there must
be the knotted chiffon sash around the
waist.
Laces Dyed to Match Waist Materials
Dyed lace is not an altogether novel
fashion notion; but hitherto this trim
ming has been used only occasional
~ on costumes of a ceremonious ma
ture. Now dyed lace is the fad and
will form one of the chief trimming
features of winter blouses. Few pro-
fessional dyers will guarantee the col
oring OF lace: for while the lace Itself
is usually made of cotton threads the
material with which it is to be match
ed up Is almost invariably a silk OF
wool fabric. The best way to Obtain
q smart blouse trimmed with dyed
lace is to fashion the entire blouse
first of white material and then have
It dyed the required shade. If this

Wonderfully pleasing effects may

Of soft batiste in tea solution, the
least bit of Etrained tea being used
with a quantity of water. An all
over embroidered white batiste waist
which cost but two dollars was dipped
in weak tea and then trimmed with
pipings of golden brown satin at
sleeve and neck edges and the result
was a charming blouse for wear with
a brown permo coat and skirt suit

incarnation could not have been dupli-
Gated for several times the original

EmbrOideries of Worsted.

bIouses ready for wear with Autumn

White worsted embroidery is now
more modish than the white bead en-
broideries which were done . death
last season. Some of the whito EN-
broideries on dark chiffon grounds
suggest handsome passemen tertes and
are done with white chenille, beads
and bugles. The embroidered effects
are all rather Oriental in suggestion
and clear-cut bold patterns are the
favorites. A very pretty chiffon
blouse with this bold embroidery is
illustrated. This blouse is of tan col
ored chiffon cloth embroidered with
black, white and dull green beads.
Small motifs of red and orange floss
are introduced in the bead embroidery
on the sleeves and at the neck.
The Useful But Perishable Chiffon
Blouse.
Thousands of yards of chiffon have
| been ordered from the manufacturers
4 this year where hundreds were or
dered last season because of the de-
mand for chiffon blouses. Women
have discovered how graceful and be-
coming the chiffon blouse is, and how
easily such a blouse may be slipped
over different slips to make pleasing
changes with the one coat and skirt
costume. This year some of the chif-
fon blouses are used over foundations
of metallic brocade, woven by some
necromacy of the weaver so that Fl
is supple and clinging instead of harsh
/ and stiff as metallic materials gener-
ally are. The glistening brocade o,
the lining is so rich in itself that such
blouses need no further trimming thar

double row OF tiny metal buttons is
set down the front. Though many
of the new blouses suggest a front
opening by the manner of trimming,
the opening is almost invariably at
the back. which is really the only
satisfactory place in a separate blouse
of any sort.

WCOMPACT, business like leather
handbag is the exception now
in the hands of a we'll dressed
- e woman. Reticules and fancy
bags made of soft, rich materials and
of the utmost limpness have replaced
the stiff leather bags and q leather
handbag, unless it be a very aristo-
cratic affair of the handsomest, soft
est suede, in some odd and individual
shape, is absolutely out of place with
any dressy costume.
The huge bag on it's long cord
handles is carried on the shoulder,
the cord loop hanging over the Shout
der and the bag itself swinging be-
meath the arm. When one is seated
the big, soft bag, is drawn into the
lap and held there. This method of
carrying ones handbag on the Shout
der is eminently practical and con-
venient. and since the bag swings be-
meath the left arm, one may get at it
easily with the right hand.
The richest and most sumptuous
materials are used for these bags and
the bead and metal embroideries are
done on delicate shades of silk, but
there is so much gold and silver lace,
and this lace is so dull and furnished
in effect - the more furnished, the
smarter according to Fashions no
tion-that these bags do not show
signs of wear as readily as might be
imagined. East Indian bags. made
of green or rose-eolored silk with rich
embroideries and metallic trimming

are pictured. One of these bags is in
