The Mode is Made of-Handstitch-
ing
NEVER in the history of fashion
IN has there been such an appre-
citation of hand work as that shown
this season. Women the world over
are eagerly joyous over the hand
made blouses displayed in the ex-
elusive shops. Nothing could be
more revealing of fastidious per-
sonality than the blouses displayed
by the blouse department at Thomp-
SON Belden's. OF finest sheer white
and flesh colored voiles and batistes
are they. Mingled with indescrib-
ably lovely effect are handdrawn
work, hair-line tucks, designs OF
satin fineness. handmade filets OF
cobweb daintiness, walls of fairy
beauty. Most surprisingly executed
are the ideas of the famous design
ers who conceived the beautifying
touches on these blouses. Not bit
of lace but what stops in a maze of
clever stitches, often a whole clus-
ter of blossoms. Tucks do not run
along the proper lines at all, but
stop with fluff of fullness in the
most unexpected places. Blouses
to captivate the most frivolous or
most conservative.
