W the Blouse Section of Benson &
AL Thorne's, Is always so pleased
when she has something new and
pretty to show me. "These have just
arrived she exclaimed the other day
when I dropped In to see her, land
aren't they lovely?" For effective SIM
plicity they really were about the most
delightful blouses I've seen this sea-
son. Handkerchief linen with many
fine tucks was the material used; the
wide sailor collar, cuffs and sham
pockets were trimmed with broad bands
of lavender or blue linen and large.
pearl buttons slipped through button
holes bound with the color. When
Miss Allen told me these blouses were
only $685. I just had to have one,
that's all! There's also stunning one
with broad tucks-collar and cuffs Of
solid rose color for the same price.
Epaulets arc noted on the new
blouses.

Last Friday being such perfect
Spring day for STROLL friend and I
wandered out near beautiful Mercer
Park. The birds were winging in the
tree tops, singing merrily--a group of
children happily playing in the park
across the street. This Is my idea of
