A shirt waist, as such, is decidedly out

this style OF waist the foundation is really
a complete waist in itself, but at the same
time the outer covering of chiffon, mar
quisette or whatever else may have been
chosen must also be a finished thing at
tached to, and actually part of, the net

waist had its origin I'm the jumper blouse
IL has now lost all connection with that

Messaline satin of any practical color,
made in a surplice design. the material
bordered with two or three rows of gold
colored soutache and the at the throat

waist
The bodice is made of coral messaline
and worn with a skirt OF London smoke
brOadcloth. There is a trimming of black
braid outlining the surplice and this outline
and the cuffs were edged with n fril or
lace edging. The skirt showed the new hip
