E1HIS is the season for blouses.
They arc needed for multi
tude of reasons. One NAV do
q without them in the winter and
look askance at them in the autumn,
but late spring and summer demand
them.
The one-piece frock has not vanished
into the warm summer air because the
separate blouse has come into fashion
again; it appears to be necessary to
have both. even in the average ward
robe There is always struggle IN
the mind of the woman who is not plen-
t!fully endowed with clothes money
as to how she should choose between
a suit and a one-piece frock for con-
slant service, and. probably the mar
ried man put it correctly for all women
when he said that his wife brought the
subject up to him semi annually. every
day for fortnight, invariably decided
in the end according to her own de-
sires and was dissatisfied about her
choice, no matter wha, 1t was. for the
rest of the season.
