Blouse Importance.

Smart blouses play much more i'm.
portant part in the wardrobe than
many women realize. A high price is
often willingly paid for tailored suit
or dress, which is worn with an evil
IDENTIFY machine made, inexpensive
blouse. Such a blouse is entirely out
of keeping with a good costume. Pro-
porticnately, blouses do seem expen-
sive, but when it is considered that
they are what first meets the eye
when the coat is removed, it is real
lied that they should be excellent of
their kind.
The woman who can direct seam
stress or who sews herself, can make
charming tailored as well as chiffon
blouses for less than half what they
cost in the shops.-Vogue.

Clever Economies.

Prominent among the many econo-
mics practiced at the moment are
clever little waistcoat effects. Many a
last years coat and bodice are being
brought up to date by a series of cas-
lily adjusted waistcoats, which usually
conclude in some sort of distinctive
collar. Given the simplest, plainest
coat or corsage-in fact, the palmer
the better-a chic note is at once in
troduced through one or the other of
these attractive little adjuncts. A
cross-over waistcoat of striped roman
silk was introduced in last years
navy ratine coat, the Follower collar
at the back fringed with monkey fur,
additions that served to invest a some
what de mode suit with quite par
ticular cachet.

Two pretty and inexpensive under
bOdices. or corset covers, are pictured
here that were selected from a great
number made of similar materials, as
the best of their kind. One of them,
shown at the left of the picture, is of
0atiste, val lace and fine embroidery,
and the other is of crepe de chine and
shadow lace. Both utilize narrow lin
gerie ribbon in their makeup.
They are unusually interesting just
now because the underbOdice is al
most as conspicuous as the blouse of
sheerest cOttons or of net, chiffon or
lace that is worn over it. The filmiest
OF materials are the ones most favored
for fancy bloGses, and they are mostly
semitransparent, at their heaviest.
They merely veil the Underbodice,
which becomes, therefore, an impor-
tant item of dress.
The bodice of batiste is made with
short. full sleeves. This is an innova-
: ton SHAT is to be recommended, be-
Eause these sleeves protect the fragile
materials of which blouses are made.
/ They are help to the woman with too
slender arms who aspires to wearing
the, thin blouse, and they improve the
SIT chi the blouse and jacket on
Nh In figure. TINS is cut very simply on
the regulation corset-cOver lines. A
band of very narrow beading, with an
edging of narrow val lace, finishes the
tor. and baby ribbon run through the
beading adjusts the bodice to the
dgure.
A val insertion is let in the bodice
sbout the top and in a lattice pattern
ON the body and sleeves. The sleeves
are finished at the lower edge, with
This insertion and a lace edge to match.
The batiste is gathered in at the Shout
der and also to the band of insertion
which confines it at the bottom of the
sleeve. A small pattern in embroidery
adoTns the front of the bodice at each
side of the fastening, and a strip OF
lace conceaIs small fat pearl buttons
and buttonholes. Like nearly all the
new models, this bodice hardly reaches
50 the waist line, and is finished there
with beading and lace and adjusted
with baby ribbon.
The bodice of crepe de chine is
sleeveless and cOmmends itself to the

Bonnets and hats designed for the
midsummer wear of little maids when
they are "all dressed up are con-
triVed to look as youthful as the small
wearers and to suggest the happy
springtime of life in a way irresistible
90 mothers. A group of them pictured
here shows the materials and shapes
and the methods of handling them so
clearly that a written description
seems almost unnecessary.
Plain and figured crepe georgette,' .
ehin silks, nets, chiffon and lace, also
some silk-straw braid, are used in
ans4king the body of headwear for little
Eeople. And many hats for children
can be successfully made by the
home milliner. The prettiest ones
are those in which needlework-shir-
ring, fine tucks and plaitings fea-
tured, and they represent an outlay of
lime and efficiency in sewing that is
much more expensive than the mate
rails necessary.
The little bonnet at the top of the
picture is one of those which can be
made at home. The frame is light
buckramette shape, having the brim
covered with bias strip of crepe
geOrgette or rather light silk stretched
over it. A wide strip of the
same silk is shirred in rows and
the shirring threads drawn up to
make the material fit the crown. When
tho frame has been covered in this
way a frill of plated shadow lace a
little wider than the hrim. is seMed

over it. A sash of wide satin MESA
line ribbon and a little bunch of June
roses at the left front are to be placed
before the lining of soft silk is sewed
in.
A hat of crepe and chiffon is shown
at the right. 1t has a soft crown of
the crepe and the brim covered with
chiffon in which narrow shirred tucks
are run. 1t is trimmed with little
nosegay of daisies tied with narrow
velvet ribbon at the front. There is
no reason why this hat should not be
thoroughly successful when made at
home.
The bonnet of figured crepe and
straw at the left is more difficult to
make than those just described. The
brim is of gray braid with facing of
gray crepe figured with little blue and
red roses like that in the crown of the
bonnet. This brim is cut out across
the back, and one elastic cord inserted
in the edge of the crown holds the
bonnet to the head.
The fourth hat is of pure white
crepe bound with black and white
striped satin. A narrow band of
white figured ribbon, with a black
corded edge is placed about the
crown with little fiat bow and short
hanging ends at the back. The very
reddest of tiny June roses, set prim-
ly on the ribbon band, convert this
hat into gay affair. A small cluster
of them is posed IN the right brim.

TAKE DISEASE FROM WHITES

of the "Paieface."

The great prevalence of all forms

citation as follows:

does the white, and more frequently

overcrowding and the unsanitary con-
ditions prevailing in most Of the homes
OF tuberculosis sufferers; while at
least this much good arises from their
misfortune that after the disease is
well developed in them It's progress
(unless they are well cared for) is
rapid, and death removes what would
otherwise remain a menacing focus
of infection.

causes of the dying out of the In.
