Of being shirt intended for athletic

here is the important detai.-that the tai

revers of old blue silk, and its rows of
glass buttons are sewed on with blue
twist to match. while the silk shirt has
a mannish turnover collar fastened down
with two little white buttons over
smart fOur-in-hand tie.
There are also tucked chiffon blouses
which look much like the tucked satin
one save that the tucked chiffon is mount
ed over coarse net and cerise or emerald
green satin ribbons are introduced cum

chiffon to make chic bit of color. Such
a blouse is illustrated in a long sleeve
model of brown chiffon, tucked all the
