blouse that has a more formal sug-

this spring has seen more blouSes of
the formal and conventional type than
have ever been worn before in the
warm weather season.
A very attractive blouse of white
chiron, worn with a smart tailored
suit of navy blue permo fabric-the
light. silky mohair and worsted weave
favored by French courtiers for sum-
mer use-was observed OF a woman
lunching at a Fifth avenue restaurant
one day last week. The white chiffon
was laid in many pin-tucks, running
down from the shoulders at front and
with navy blue silk. This simple
treatment produced a novel and
charming color contrast, and there
was. to boot. a white satin bolero
which draped in surplice fashion
across the tin-tucked chiffon at front
and back, the bolero being piped with
navy blue satin and generously
splashed with navy blue buttons and
buttonhole loops of satin. A narrow
turned-down collar and turned back
cuffs of white satin We're piped with
blue and stitched in many rows with
the blue silk. While exceedingly sim

blouse was infinitely chic and effec-

over the shoulders. In the opening is
a slightly fulled "undershirt" of flesh
colored chiffon. which covers the bare
throat and bosom. Glass buttons are
set down the front of the shirt and
buttonholes are worked on the edge
of one side. a few buttons being really
buttoned below the bust. There is
also a row of buttons and buttonholes
on the outer edge OF each sleeve. A

Hot Weather Collars Featured.
Many Of the very thin waists for

suits have the enormously high and
stately D'Israeli collars with choker
bows at The. front. beneath the chin.
These collars are very smart. but they
cannot be cool. and. as every woman
knows. a linen waist with a low collar
is infinitely cooler than a cobwebby
batiste waist with a tall. tight neck
dressing. But the high collar seems
imminent and many women TO- cover
