BlOuses

THERE seems to be a mistaken impression
4 current that high neck effects are the ex-
elusive fashion in Autumn Blouses. Such is
not the case. High neck effects are being worn,

a matter of fact the low neck Blouse has the
call among the smartly dressed women in the
larger fashion centers.
We are SLOWING a perfectly wonderful line of
new Blouses in taffetas, satins crepe de chimes,
batistes, voiles, nets and GeOrgette crepes.
The tailored effects, of course, have the high,

deliberately beaded, embroidered or trimmed
with laees. COlOrs are navy, bisque, taupe,
gray, plum, Burgundy, flesh, green, black,
