BLOUsES MATCH BEIGE SUITS
Garments That Will Readily Be Seen
to Have Many Points of
Advantage.

To match the beige-colored suits are
offered pongee silk blouses built on
tailored lines with high, turnover col
lar and rolling cuffs The fronts of
such blouses are usually box-plaited
and fastened with ivory buttons in ball
shape The excellent point about these
models, aside from their matching
quality, is that they launder very cas-
lily.
To add variety to the line, there are
pongee waists trimmed with dyed
laces; and still others that are hand
embroidered in floss the color of the
blouse material Like many other
waists of the period, certain of the
models have the convertible collar,
acceptable for either cool weather or
warm weather wear.
The frilled blouse is back again. 1t
is made of cotton voile, of georgette
crepe or of striped filet marquisette.
It's salient feature is the one-side
jabot, which is usually edged with
lace When there is a yoke it is apt
to show scalloped edge, sometimes
piped with contrasting color.
A lot of gold and soutache braid
ing is being tried out on blouses that
start out to be plain and then seem
to undergo change and finish by be-
ing a semi6ress model 1t is known
that Paris is quite mad on the sub
ject of braid trimmings; and this, of
course, means an adoption of the same
on this side of the Atlantic. Ameri-
can women have never been very par
tial to glittering ornamentation, partic-
llarly in connection with daytime at
