BLOUSE OF MANY MATERIALS
Is About the Only Way
Properly to Describe Some of
the Creations.

To apply the word patchwork to GER
tain fascinating creations of the
blousemakers seems far from kind,
but one is at a loss how otherwise to
describe them. Nowadays, indeed,
one picks up deliberately a motif of
embroidery. square of linen or We
netian lace, a piece Of broderie An
glaise and some odd scraps of lace,
which need not match, and all OF
these. placed skilfully together, pro-
duce a result that is naturally unique
but Is at the same time dainty and
original.
Many of the most exclusive houses
make fine art of these blouses, and
they are very expensive, for the lace
OF which they are made is real and
often valuable and old.
But the patchwork blouse may be
made very successfully from odds and
ends of the sales-if with the addition
of some scraps of real lace which
have hitherto been hidden uselessly
in a drawer, SO much the better.

richness of designs and variety they

One feature is their lightness OF

The newest silks have chiffon
