Of the University of ST. Die, in Lor-

fact first used In the book "COsmog-

Christopher Columbus ana John Cabot

FASHIONS

The acceptance by American women
of the long type of blouse, sometimes
called the "over-the-skirt" blouse, has
given American designers of these
garments q real interest in life. Diff
ferent nationalities and periods lend
their influence and the showing of
these blouses in the smart shops and
in Manufacturers display rooms is
really most interesting and almost ex-
traordinary. One model recently dis
played is of the Italian peasant type.
1t is made of sand-colored crepe de
chine, has a round neck and is fas-
tened down one side. Two bands of
Georgette, one in blue and the other in
a dull red, extend around the neck
and down the side. Each of these
bands is studded with natural-col-
ofed wooden beads.
For summer wear these blouses are
developed in such fabrics as cotton
crepe, fine batiste and linen. A white
linen blouse shown is decorated with
grape leaves embroidered in an out
line design in dull blue.
Brocaded and velvet striped chiffons
are used to develop rather gorgeous.

Peter as Dear Me resumed his perch

you have built your home for the

to be near water. We just love it.
Always there are many insects flying
around where there is water, SO 1T is
an easy matter for US to get plenty
to eat. We left the shed at Farmer

pesky cat up there. discovered our

Dear Me. I'VE always are the first
Mrs. Phoebe and I don't go as far
south in winter as the other MEM
bers of the Flycatcher family do
They go clear down to the tropics
but we manage to pick up pretty
good living without going as far as
that. That makes it easy for US to
get back here before the rest of them
Usually we have begun housekeeping
by the time they arrive. l certainly
do love my home and hate to be away
from it. My cousin Chebec the Leas,
Flycatcher should be here by THIS
time. Haven't you heard anything OF
him up in the Old Orchard?"
No" replied Peter. But to tel,

I'm on my way to the Old Orchard
now, and I certainly shall keep my
ears and eyes open for Chebec. Good

Women
STRIPED GOWNS WITH TASSELS

there came about widely striped
linen that took on the appearance of
awning, without its warmth.
The average woman naturally
breads a broadly striped material.
She does not have to consult the
weighing scales before ordering such
a frock from her dressmaker; she
simply runs from the temptation.
But the average woman does not
rule the fashions. The high lights are
given by the daring, the young, the
Individual and the artistic.
1t is these sections of society that
create fashions. The average woman
is apt to wear anything that will
cover her body and keep her from
criticism. But this is not fashion. 1t
is just clothes.
There exists in this country a large
group of young women who prefer
broad stripes to solid colors just be-
cause they attract attention.; and if
they cannot be worn in the winter,
the seashore and the mountains af-
ford a good opportunity to indulge in
them during the summer season.
Therefore. this linen fabric. with it's
broad stripes, has many adherents.

Touched With Tassels.

A striped linen gown by itself might
not be attractive. especially in black
and white, but when it has red blue
or yellow tassels attached to it, then
it instantly scars into the heights of
individuality.
In other words, it looks more than
ever like an awning. or the decoration
for a summer porch.
The sketch shows such frock
made with a slim little bodice, in
which the sleeves are merely part of
the shoulder line. The skirt is SLIM
without any of the fashionable full
ness. in order that the stripes may
not become confused by broken dra-
perry. The hem of the skirt has lit
tie red wooden tassels dangling
against the stockings. There is an
other row of them down the front, and
the waist is girdled with soft piece
of black vanished leather.
The hat worn with this gown is a
helmet of white with a black visor,
and one of the red wooden tassels
falls from the crown.

Of the overtime skirt type. These ma
terials, Of course, require no addition
al trimming.
The blouse shown in the sketch is
made of bisque-colored georgette
trimmed with dull blue satin embroid-
cred in red. 1t fastens invisibly on
the shoulder and underneath the arm
and is tied at the waist with a string

This blouse would be charming worn
