New Blouse Has
Call for Favor

blouses this years. that II looks far
better as part of a costume h a as
an addition TO n coat suit. AS a pep
lum blouse worn with a skirt of its
own color, or in harmonious contrast
to it, it is very good; not as good as
satin or silk jersey, but commendable.
1t may be ornamental, if n can adopt
that type of blouse, and even trimmed
with beads, which is a debatable form
Of o-rnamentation on a separate gar
ment, but not impossible for certain
types of women.
Because of the adoption of uniforms
| through the war there is a strong re-
crudescence of the tailored linen
shirtwaist for women, especially in
horizon blue, shrimp pink and dead
white edged with color. These have
tucked fronts, long plain sleeves, regu-
lation a~rmholes, turnover cuffs with
link buttons, and the collar of q
French student of the Second Empire.
Women have found that a rolling
collar with a slight bit of starch, worn
with a cravat, is an attractive neck
line. Only the very young woman
with a slim, smooth neck can attempt
the high turnover collar, either starch
ed or soft. Below a face that shows
the marks of time this collar is impos-
sible.
BIouses as Part of Costumes.
When the French designers made
the peplum blouse and then sat back
in watchful waiting for its success,
which took long to come, they created
something that was very worth while
American women see the light today,
and they grasp with eagerness the pos
sibilities of this outside tunic blouse.
1t is difficult to persuade a certain
set of women that there are Other
types of blouses. Nothing could in
duce them to return to the kind thai
tucks in under the skirt belt. They
| feel they have eliminated this awk
ward line around the middle of the
/ body, and they choose all their blouse'
> after the tunic pattern, whether fol
railroad suits or for service with
y separate skirt under a fur coat.
1t is sometimes permitted to tuck tn
back of the blouse under the skirt, pro
vided there is a front panel that drops
apron-wise, below the waist, and a
e ornamental belt which runs from eacl
k side Of it to the back. This is tn
most ingenious compromise betweel

ARE ENCOURAGED


When the Zone Managers of the Gulf

ice Fund. May 1926, met in Birming-
ham, Ala, May 4th and 5th. there was
gathered there one of the most en-
thusiastic crowd of men and women
that the city has ever seen.
They were all bubbling over with en-
thusiasm because they are finding the
people wherever they go deeply inter
ested in the Salvation Army and its
work. All OF them reported that they
find the people of the cities and the
country anxiously awaiting the open
ing of the campaign, so that they may
contribute to the fund in order that
the Salvation Army may carry on its
work among the people. that the Sal
walton Army alone can reach.
A statement made by one Zone Man
ager was typical of statements made
by all Of them This statement was as
follows: THE people of this country
have at last realized what a wonder
full organization the Salvation Army Is,
and are anxious to do what they can TO
help it in its work"
The people of the rural districts are
beginning to realize that they are even
more interested in the Salvation Army
and its work than the people of the
city, and now that the country people
realize this, they are more than ready
and willing to aid the Salvation Army
in carrying on its work by making Ito
eral contributions.
