NEW AND INTERESTING
BLOUSES.

Fresh blouse. are an almost certain
need at this season. Women who are
preparing for the mountains will surely
welcome a new washable silk that is
known as duck. /; is Of just satisfactory
weight for cool days, it washes beautifully
and is Of moderate cost, % that it seems
to fulfill all the needed conditions. With
the white skirt Of linen or Of eponge. it is
delightful and it is heavy enough for the
making Of entire gowns; in fact, a gown Of
this silk duck would make an excellent
investment whether the closing weeks Of
summer are to be sent on the hill-tops
or at the seaside. The new blouses are
made quite simply. but with the Robes

coming and they are closed with oval.

tics in the thinner blouses, too, that are
worthy Of mention and they can be
utilized in many ways The note Of color

THE VALUE OF BRASSIERE.

Brassieres are a boon to the slender
woman as well as to the stout one. The
latter wears them to hold the flesh firm,
while the former wears them to give a
good outline to her slender form, filling
in the bust with ruffles Of embroidery.
When brassieres first made their ap-
pearsnce they were plain, ugly affairs, but
now they are made up very daintily and
trimmed with pretty laces and embroidery.
A. the garment must have some body, the
lace and embroidery should be the heavy
sort. Wide bands of Cluny or eyelet en-
broidery is the best to uss.

PUTTING ON A CORSET
CORRECTLY.

There l. an art in putting on q corset
correctly. Some women lie down fat on
their backs and bend their knees. In this
position the abdomen has no chance to
sag and can be easily confined in the corset
with discomfort. A corset should be
fastened from the bottom hook up to the
top hook. 1t is hard to do this at first,
but Il is well worth trying. for in that
way all the superiuous A0ph is kept up in
position. Much care should be taken in
the selection Of 9 maternity corset. There
are very good styles on the market. A
new model has successive rows Of narrow
elastic bands forming two side-front and
two side-back cores. The corset laces on
each hip and has tubular elastic laces.

THE NEW FIGURE.

Now that panies have come into

pretty heads over the probability Of hips
and bustles. Paniers are here and will Be
greatly worn in the fall and through the
winter, but in a modified form. The waist
size and hip line will be the same as in the
past few seasons. The drapery Of the

Women who need to freshen the tailored
suit that already has seen service will do
well to bear this fact in mind Collar and
cuffs of plaid on blue or other harmon

quite up-to-date touch. Plaid sashes
and plaid collars are smart and are seen
on the latest models. Whenever these

such features are already ordering such
