sleeves gave an oriental touch to
the blouse. for they were left loose
at the wrists. and were also finished
with a row Of hemstitching. A
quaint pleated frilI outlined the
round neck.
To copy this dainty blouse three
yards OF crepe de chine. thirty-stx
inches wide. will be necessary. and
a quarter OF yard OF blue silk Tor

this simple blouse saves the trouble
OF finishing seams and also adds
greatly to the appearance.
