ring bit of pussy willow taffeta 1t is
the only real trimming.
The color scheme is white and ecru an
association of colors which has been eX-
tensively popular on lace gowns and i'm
ported robes, The body of the blouse Is
made OF white Georgette crepe, with large
revers and tab of white pussy willow taf-
feta. The vest is made of the finest
possible net, white, with an edging Of the
lace. This is wired to form an upstand-

The sleeves of the blouse are partlcu-
larly pretty. They have deep pointed cuffs
of taffeta, with covered buttons to hold
them In place. A narrow insertion of
Venise lace is used at the wrist, with
finish Of plcot edged crepe. The panel in
front is fastened by means of two huge
polished buttons, in black and white. The
back of the blouse is simply made of the
crepe.

Miss EugeniR Atkinson, TuckertOn, N. j.,
for the following suggestion:
When you are making little oliver Twist
suits for children. make separate belt
of muslin and sew on this the desired

holes ON both the skirt and waist and
button both on the belt. In this way
you will always have pretty set of but
tons for every suit, and you can remove
the belt when the suits are washed and
wash it separately. The waist will be
easier to launder and the buttons won't
