Tub Silk Waists For Athletic Wear.
The admirable tub waist OF wash
able silk promises. 20 be the accepted
model for outing and travelling wear
when neatness and simplicity of style
are desired. Plain white tub silk IS
not now as fashionable as the striped
sort, and stripes may be IN any width,
from a mere line of color on the
white ground, up TO quarterback and
even half-inch width. Gray stripes
on the white are not as modish now
as cOlored stripes, and the favOrite
cOlOrs seem to be rose. lilac. olive
green, Persian red and Dutch blue.
These waists are Simply made with
long shoulders and wide armholes.
When the figure IS full, groups OF
tucks are set into the ShOuldeT-s6am
on the front of the blouse. Very ex-
elusive models OF this type have turn
over cuffs, and collar OF fine machine
embroidery, the silk tie being knOtted
under the sheer embroidery collar
with charming effect. when its hue
matches exactly the delicate color OF
the stripes in the tub silk.
These washable silk blouses-and
indeed all blOuses-have very fanCiful
buttons, and of course, this year, but
tons play an important part in the
trimming effect. Ball buttons of Ro-
man pearl or of creamy white bone
with a tiny rhinestone imbedded IN
the top are seen on many new blouse
models, and some OF the gay Balkan
blouses show fiat pearl buttons set IN
rings OF color that match the color
on the blouse 4 February bride,
Just starting on honeymoon TO be

her four OF these pretty tub silk
waists for golhng and riding use.
With her cross-saddle riding habit of
gray worsted, viii be worn white silk
shirts striped with pink: and with
pale lilac and the knee-length coat,
inexpressibly smart in cut, falls Just
over the knee, tan leather puttees be
ing strapped over boots of the wash
able tan leather which will not be-
come stained # the rider finds It nee
essary to dismCunt in the mud, or has
to stand about on wet turf. These
washable tan boots may also be
wiped clean with a sponge and or
binary soap and water, and are an IN
estimable comfort to the sojourner IN
a hotel. The riding habit IS cOmplet-
ed by one of the mannish alpine hats
Of soft felt with perky little bow
at the back.
Lingerie Blouses Show New Ma
chine Embroideries.
The lingerie blouse OF 1918 IS IN
deniably fussy. Quantities of trim
ming are honeycombed in its sheer
ground material bands of lace and
machine embroidery are crossed and
recrossed between motifs Of the same
airy fabrics, and wherever there is a
possible chance a triangle, square or
wedge OF pintucking IS squeezed IN.
Naturally the result is very elaborate
and the average lingerie blouse OF the
season IS a most ornate affair-as or
nate indeed as the silk tailored shirt
is plain and uupretentious. The bet

exquisitely dainty and effective, but
the less said the better. about the
cheaper models, loaded as they are
with coarse lace and other trimming,
and made of material sheer enough,
because the coarse threads are loose

at the first tubing. An unexpected
arrival IN the blouse arena this year

IS used for many Of the prettiest new
bIouses, and when pintucked and
daintiiy trimmed, its effect IS charm
