deep purple fringe. The junctures of
the different strands of fringe were
emphasized with small, dull brown
wooden bead.

gloomy thought to remember that
they probably really do become soiled
almost as quickly as do white one.
But if you must wear a blouse for a
considerable stretch of time--on a
long railroad journey, for instance,
or all day long doing Red Cross work
that may be bit dusty-you feel far
fresher at the end of the time in a
dark-sleeved blouse than in light
one.
