Mere man varies the monotony of
his workaday clothes by indulging
himself In many changes of ties, and
women IN the same way rely upon
blouses to give the spice of variety to
their daily costuming. The new
blouses that have just made their ap-
pearance for midsummer wear prom
Use to fulfill their mission in the most
refreshing way, for they are made Of
light colors with white in many ways.
Manufacturers Of fabrics and design
ers Of blouses have worked together
for the good of womankind this sum-
mer. the first producing striped and
cross-bar as well as plain materials
that are washable and the latter
pleasing and versatile details of trim
ming.
Cluster tuckings, contrasting collars
and cuffs, frills Of net or plain organ
die, narrow lace inserts and edgings
and some hand embroidery finish off
the clever planning and cutting which
see to 1t that the new blouses are
started right. They are adorably re-
fined and dainty and sometimes they
are just as simple as they LOOKOUT
not often. 1t is their business to look
simple and beautifully finished.
The blouse shown In the picture
bears out these statements. It is Of
blue wolfe with white organdie collar
and cuffs. There are two emplace-
ments at the front, one of them a
little simulated chemisette In white
organdie set in an applied affair that

Are they made Of silk or are they
of wool? That is the question that
CLUES our eyes to the new showings of
suits and leads US to take many an
extra step for a closer view. 1t turns
out that many of the suits for mid
summer are made Of new weaves in
silk fabrics that are soft and supple
and have little luster, so they keep us
guessing. Besides the all-silk fabrics
there are silk and wool mixtures, all
Of them calculated to make us forget
to deplore the scarcity of wool. In
case the government should see fit to
commander the wool production 1t
will be no hardship to wear these new
fabrics.
There are many belted models in
the new modes and many coats open
over trig-looking pique vests. Uneven
lengths, cleverly applied buttons and
unusual pockets are features that tone
up their style-fine points in the tech
nique of making. Skirts grow mar.
