AN UNUSUAL NEW

Here Is pictured blouse which
contrives to be unusual merely by
means of its odd construction. Its
designer has taken his cue from those
who have made coats this season 30
successfully by departing from all
precedent in cutting them. In this
blouse Of lace. with raised flowers in
velvet, the sleeves and back are in
one piece. It Is lined with white chif-
fon, and draped. collared. and cuffed
with black satin.
Very much the same effect would
result II the blouse were cut with q
regulation raglan sleeve. and the
model suggests the effectiveness Of
printed chiffons made up in this way.
