make. But now. with our liking for
sport clothes, the shirt waist-it is even
sometimes called shirts much worn
and 1t is really very simple to make.
You can get highly satisfying results
by making these sport blouses up in
sheer dimity with collars and cuffs OF
colored organdie or handkerchief linen.
using colored handkerchief linen for
the blouse and white piQue for the col
lars and cuffs. The new patterns are
much like those for mems shirts. The
sleeves are put in with a fiat seam be-
fore the underarm seams and sleeve
seams are stitched, and so one Is given
a chance for very neat stitching and a
trim result is almost sure to follow.
OF course. mans shirt with white
dimity, with blue organdie collars and
cuffs and Irish crocheted buttons. would
be an absurdity. but woman's sport
blouse Of these materials, cut on shirt
like lines, Is decidedly smart.
Some Of the new blouses show col
ored linen collars and cuffs. whereon
simple motifs are embroidered in white
or contrasting colors. This work is not
only attractive, but 1t is very easy to
accomplish, and II you like touch OF
hand work and are skillful at produc-
ing 1t you can make such a blouse.
The slip-over Is gaining in popular
ity. AS we all know. 1t is simply a
blouse that goes on over the head and
has no other opening. It is usually
frequently made In heavy linen or even
cretonne. to take the place of the gar
den smock of last year, 1t Is also made
in other fabrics for more general use.
This, too, is an easy garment to COM
pass at home.

THE SIMPLE BLOUSE.

If you like to sew and have a little
time at your disposal this summer, you
cannot possibly give yourself more sat
It is very easy to get results that more
than pay for your time and trouble
And it stands to reason that you can
get better materials for given amount
of money than you would find in blouses
that cost that much ready made. Sew
ing for yourself Is one of those opera
lions in which you do not count the
cost Of your time in judging the results.
In the old days, after our first expert
ence with shirt waists, we all wore lin
gerie blouses and these, be it remem-
bered, took a great deal of time to

Right then and there a sudden idea

he grinned sheepishly. why didn't
think of 1t before?" he said right out
loud. '1'll just watch or Mistah Buzz

And Peter did this very thing.

It is not probable that the French
dressmakers will introduce the brill
liant shades of green for winter that
we now wear for summer. Robin Hood
and his men may be the inspiration fol
the colors which will be chosen when
the autumn sets in.
There are already several shades Of
what is known as hunting green to be
seen at the dressmakers', and Myrtle

girdle section buttons in front. The skirt
has fve-inch-deep shirred girdle all
around. and the garment is made a one
piece affair. although the basque effect Of
the bodice rather suggests that bodice
and skirt are separate.
To make this dress five yards Of satin
or other fabric thirty-six inches wide will
be required for the major portions. and
one yard Of contrasting color for vest and
lower part Of sleeves. The cuffs match
bodice and skirt.
A dress of this type may frequently be
developed for first fall wear from, unworn
portions Of last season frock, bit Of
new material being added where needed.
Many women will probably make over last
seasons frocks this fall as a bit OF war

is encouraging this economy by the vogue

No extremes are noted in the lineup of
fall styles. and the greatest possible lee
way is admitted in regard to skirt length
and width.
Skirt lengths may broadly be recorded
as conservative. reaching to the ankle or
a trifie above. Six to eight inches from
the ground Is the average.

Of Interest TO Women
MORE SHADES OF GREEN FOR WINTER.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondents Of The Star.
NEW YORK. July so.-We have
learned to look to the members OF the
Theatre Franctis for Interesting COS
tunes The establishment Of this
French theater in New York has been
a matter of far more significance and
Importance than the average woman
seems to think.
The visit Of Jacques Copeau, ono OF
the directors Of theaters in Paris. has
awakened the cosmopolitan public in
this city to a realization of the educa-
tional opportunities Of an established
French theater, where the best act
resses and the best plays combine to
teach Americans the best in the French
language.
1t is always a matter of surprise to
the average American who comes to
New York on visit, to find how rap
idly the Introduction Of French has
progressed in the commercial and
artistic life. With the establishment OF
a French theater. with the success that
it had last winter, with the fntroduc-
ton of wonderful French clothes worn
in the way that only a French actress
can wear them. there will be even more
French introduced into the daily lie
of those who live in New York.

into the Green Forest, lipperty-lip-
perty-lip.
Once in the Green Forest, he no
longer hurried. 1t is hard work to
hurry with your head tipped back so as
to see the tops of the trees. Presently
Peters neck began to ache. He sat
down under a friendly little hemlock
tree to rest his aching neck. When it
felt better he went on again, his head

Exploiting Paris Clothes.

Those of US who have to watch fash
ions from the source to the ragged end
have learned to pay marked attention
to the members Of the Theatre Fran
Gals. Callot, Paquin, Doucet, Jenny
and Lanvin are the great designers IN
France who see to it that these mem
bers of the French artistic set wear
on the American stage the brilliant
costumery that Paris demands of its
actresses.
The members of this theater contin-
ually appear in original French crea-
lions. They have not adopted Ameri-
can clothes. nor do they dress In the
American manner, and that Is just
what we hope they will continue to
avoid. Because they are themselves,
we have an extraordinary opportunity
to see French clothes worn as they
should be, while we hear French
spoken as it should be.
This preamble is suggested by the
constant appearance of good-looking
costumes on Mile. Lillian Greuze.
The Wearing Of Green.
example of the minuteness of artistic
detail in which the French indulge. 1t
is coat suit of balsam green eponge.
The loose, skeleton coat has collar
and draped cuffs Of white silk muslin.
The belt has a domino design Of black

background, and the buttons, which
fasten the coat and ornament the
sleeves, are of cherry red. The skirt
consists of two narrow founces, the
lower one finished with a hem that is
| just wide enough for comfortable
step.
The hat worn with this suit has a
white velour brim, with a crown of
shirred green grosgrain ribbon trim
med with a bunch of red cherries to
carry out the color effect given to the
suit by the red buttons.
Green and red make difficult COM
bination, one that becomes essentially
cheap If it is not handled by an artist.
In copying this costume, it would be
wise to have some one with a faultless
color sense choose the shades of green
| and red that must be comningled.
The important part about it. how
ever, is that it is green. This color has
never been SO successful as now. and
we are promised green velvets. broad
