Eliminating the Waist Line.

There were several reasons for the
popularity of the satin and velvet
jumper that has been worn this winter
by smart women over separate blouses
One of the reasons was that the color
scheme was kept intact; but there was
another reason which had to serve
when the one color scheme was abo!-
ished and the jumper was made of a
brilliant satin embroidered in gold
that was in direct contrast to the color
Of the skirt. The object Of wearing
this kind was to eliminate the waist
line

signed TO wear under the fashionably full
skirt of the day. One is a net founda ton
with several hoops of whalebone. One is

-audsEed-an eclipse during the last
three years in favor of loose blouses
of interlined georgette crepe and wash
chiffon. Probably the latter two were
projected into fashionable life by the
ruling modern convention that it is not
smart to show white wash waist in
any public place without a coat
This convention has become so
strongly accepted that all manner of
jumpers and overwaists were invented
to wear beneath a coat that there
would be a continuation of the skirt, in
color if not in fabric when the Goa [
was removed
II stood TO reason that the expense
of buying and washing good white
blouse was quite unwarranted if it
was TO be almost completely covered
by jumper in a dark color. So. the
white wash waist fell into disuse en-
cept for the summer and for every da V
wear in country life.
