HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
The Overblouse Idea.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Have you seen the new spring over
blouses?
In them Is contained a really eco
nomical idea that many of us might
profit by adopting.
They are blouses that are worn out
side the skirt-that is, there is pep
lum or skirt that comes over the skirt.
'Some of them are belted in at the
waist-and these are the most prac-
tical and useful-and some Of them
hang loose at the waist.
We have all, at some time or other
in our existence, probably worn q
MILDLY blouse, And we all know how
very convenient it is as a housework-
ing garment. For 1t can be changed
and washed easily. and it protects the
top part of the skirt from soil and
wear. But a regulation MILDLY on any
but a slim and youthful figure Is
rather unbecoming.
The smock. too. that has had a des-
ultOry sort OF approval by fashion for
a couple Of seasons. answered the
same purpose admirably. but that, too.
is not a very becoming costume for
the pOrtly or mature woman.
The new overblouse, however, is
So adaptable that il can be made be-
coming to any figure and suitable to
almost any use. Made up in blue. rose,
white or tan linen or cotton sutting,
it can be worn with white or tan
skirts for houseworking.
of course, its original purpose was
not one of utilitarian sort. No, in
deed, 1t is the high pet of fashion,
designed simply for beauty. And this
summer it will doubtless be seen in
gay CoIors, in crepe and chiffon. silk
and linen. worn by young girls at the
fashionable resorts with white skirts,
I.uCh as colOred sweaters are worn.
The woman who sees need for econ
,'ry- too. can wear the overblouse
l0r Cthcr than purely utilitarian pur-
i.u t.-. and can thereby effect economy.

~. washable sport fabrics-not regu-
'aifrn pique or linen, but something a
little SILKY or crepe-like in effect.
Sweaters, too. can be worn with a
view to eConOmiZing in the summer
wardrobe. They can be made In the
new models, to draw on over the head.
or to button down the front and fasten
with sashes. The simplest white frock,
or white blouse and skirt, takes on
look of distinctiveness when sweater
in some becoming and attractive shade
is worn over it.

when Lent is with us, there comes to
many the longing to go apart and rest
awhile"
While we were out taking pictures for
The Founding" one beautiful spring
day, there was quite a long wait for some
necessary properties from New York,
and started away on a long walk from
the little highland town we were in on
the upper Hudson.
The country here is particularly lovely,

1 wouldn't lose my way as long as kept
the telegraph poles in sight, but there
was one beautifully kept lane, with
high-posted gateway, that lured me on
to explore 1t further. and all at once
came upon a tiny white chapel, set In
the heart of the woodlands, with little
orchard behind 1t, and a clearing OF corn
delds and garden plots.

There is a tiny convent close by, where
about thirteen sisters live with the
Mother Superior. and here at the Lenten

Out under the blossoming cherry trees,
there slowly paced one OF the lovenest
women have even seen. She wore q
long brown woolen garb, roped at the
waist like the sisters, but without their
rosary or head dress. Her wonderful
auburn hair made one think OF Ros-
settIs model love, his blessed Damosef'
whom he afterward made his wife, but
in her eyes. there was an ineffable sad
ness that told a story Of human suffer-
ing.
When she found out who I was, she
was Immediately interested in our pic
ture, "The Founding" and the story 1t
portrayed. and just before I was leaving
walked with her in the twilight, down
towards the village, listening to a story
which l feel sure was of her own life.
She told me OF a society woman. whose
heart longed most OF all for a child Of
her own. She had been married about
five years, when she had a dear little
baby girl. She told me quite frankly
that the woman's love for her husband
died a natural death the first month they
were married, when she realized the sell
fish brutality and innate coarseness of
his nature; and then the year following
the birth of her little girl. she had met a
man abroad whom she could love and re-
spcCt with her whole heart. In his
friendship. she had realized all that she
had missed in marrying for money.

pectedly in London, and discovered her

Swaying figure Of the exquisite little
dancer who had used her art to avert a

And the heart of him was very humble
as he asked the God of them both to for
