The blouse with the separate skirt
makes an ali-important costume OF
the season Here, the skirt is made
of one of the new crepe-hnished linens
and the blouse is made OF wolfe in a
1t il smart blouse and a generally
becoming blouse and also it 10 distinctly
novel for the collar is extended to form
tie ends The fuilness is laid in
inverted plaits and these plaits can
be held by means OF hemstitching as
they are here or by fancy stitchery or
they can be sewed as tucks. The
model 10 a very good one for taffeta,
for wolfe, for Georgette crepe, or for
crepe de chine. for organdie and for
the handkerchief linen that make
the favorite materials for separate
waists. 1t can be made of one ma
terial throughout or with the blouse
at one and the trimming of another,
as q striped lawn or a striped wolfe
with plain color or colored organdie
or colored wolfe with white collar and
cuffs or white wolfe or white organdie
with colored collar and cuffs. All
these combinations are fashionable
and they are singularly well adapted
to the model. The colored organizes
and colored voiles are exceedingly
charming and the colors are admir-
ably web adapted to wear with the
fashionable suits and skirts, 90 that
1t 10 very easy to arrange a costume
that is smart and attractive with
slight expense and really very little
labor, for such blouse is not difficult

that it gives long and graceful lines
and the full sides can be either plated
or gathered az the special material

are equally smart and equally good.
Preference must depend entirely upon
