hold friend. 1t is sent to the tub,it passes
under the iron. it serves for pettlcoats

is of heavy quality it is made up into
tailored blouse that has the severity
of a mans.
1t is we'll worth the price, because

The one in the sketch is an admir-
able model for woman who needs a
new blouse or many of them for the
autumn and winter season. 1t comes
from Paris, and it is made of that
heavy satin that takes on slight ivory
tone when washed. 1t has no lining.

a small armhole, and-do pay attention
to this especial feature for it is i'm

cuffs, is run with pleats in the middle,
and it rises high at the back of the

1t is to be hoped that the new blouses
will emphasize, each and all, the beauty
and security of the small armhole. We
