HINTS BY MAY MANTON
a SMART AND YOUTHFUL FROCK.

The peplum blouse is an unques-
toned favorite. It appears in many
variations, but this one is exception
ally smart The gown is made of
the French serge that is such a favor
ite and is trimmed with soutache
braid: The whole effect is distinctive
and out of the common yet the labor
involved is very little. The blouse
is made in peasant style, which means
that there are only under-arm seams.
II is Joined to a belt and the belt can
be finished plain or with peplum, just
as liked The sleeves, although cut
after the familiar manner. are quite
novel for they are finished with cir
cular frills. The under-sleeves can
be attached beneath them when oc-
casion demands. The separate
chemisette is buttoned into place. The
three-piece skirt is of moderate width.
Altogether the dress is as useful as
Il is attractive and it is eminently
Youthful in effect Dresses such as
this one are made from many differ
ent materials, but light weight serge
and broadcloth are pronounced taV-
orites for simpler occasions while for
more dressy ones can be used messa-
line. crepe de chine and cloth in white
or a pale color White with trim
ming of satin or velvet on collar and
sleeves and with wide hem on the
skirt would be most attractive.
For the 16 yeap size the blouse will

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-As the un-
certainties of the early season resolve
themselves into assurance, the first
freakish fashions. which threatened
to overturn all good taste in dress,
have disappeared or have been modi-
fed into lines less grotesque and I'M

made choice difficult for the mid-sea-

serenity of a few good shades, and
out Of all the variety of materials on
the counters the well-dressed woman
has, nine times out of ten, selected
velvet for her suit.
