White Blouses Still Worn.

Possibly the fine muslin blouse will show
a slender design of what is known as
French embroidery, the refined type of
exquisite workmanship that is used on
handkerchefs.
These blouses have rolling collars. for
the whole world seems to have accepted
without further protest the fashion of
the uncovered neck. The modern collar
is high at the back and sides and com
pletely obliterates the coat collar, so the
neck is not as much uncovered as it was
five years ago when the so-called Dutch
neck was in fashion.
But after all. it is not in these blouses
that one finds the startling transparency.

a ruching of plain, and by the way, such

of white taffeta that goes round the
