Really, blouses are SO plain that they
are not the least pretty. at least they
appear so to the uninitiated, having
become so long accustomed to the
much trimmed bedecked garment.
The sleeves of the blouseS are long
and more bouffant than plain, yet at
the widest part half a yaro wound
measure their circumference. That may
not be saying much, but several inches
have crept in since last year. The
sleeve has no trimming whatever. and
is finished off at the wrist in a ruff1e
similar to that at the neck. At the
wrist the sleeve does not hang loose,
but is gathered into rather tight
band, on which is sewed the ruff1e.
Very sheer materials compose these
blouses, Swiss batiste, gauze and cot
ton chiffon being favorites.
