DELAY IN ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM

The Latest Sport Blouse.

Callot has invented new sport
blouse which has short sleeves. Women
may take it up If they do not object to
having arms burned as brown as nut
shell. This sleeve Is cut off halfway
between elbow and low armhole and
has a turnover cuff closely fastened
down to the sleeve itself.
One thing is certain, it is better to
wear this kind Of blouse than to be
constantly rolling up the sleeves and
fastening them up with safety pins.
Sport blouses are now embroidered
in Chinese designs and colors. either in
silk or wool The designs are taken
from the Chinese alphabet or the va
rious symbols embroidered on Chinese
clothing. all OF which have significant
meaning.
Peach color is one Of the new shades
taken up for these blouses.
