FASHIONS

The sketch illustrates \ charming
peplum blouse, which may be made
either of georgette. voile or batiste.
There 10 no doubt whatever that
blouses of the lingerie type are to be
very smart this summer. The sheer
silks are lovely, but when warm
weather comes the dainty woman
finds sheer cotton and linen fabrics
irresistible. either for outer garments
or for intime apparel.
An interesting feature Of the blouse
shown in the sketch is the unusual
neck finish. Without the outstanding
section that passes muster for a col

general wear. AS arranged the blouse
is charming. and while too low to be

only slight changes are reported

age in the northern peach crop is
emphasized by a further reduction in
