Smart Georgette Models.
This fall there are the smartest of
little blOuses of georgette crepe or
crepe de chine in all the fashionable
colors. Often q blouse, say of navy
blue or brown georgette crepe, will
have relieving note Of beige or some
light harmoniziRg tone and frequently
they are made over a lining of the
lighter tone material.
One blouse, admirably adapted as an
was of navy blue georgette over beige.
The beige formed round yoke and
short undersleeves. Tiny colored but
tons trimmed the beige yoke and un-
dersleeves, and the edges of both the
overblouse, and underblouse were
piped in dark blue.
Another equally charming blouse
was made of brown georgette over
bisque lining. This blouse was also
fashioned with yoke and under
sleeves of the lining material. The
bodice was trimmed with green but
tons and tiny frills of the bisque crepe.
To be sure, there are more elabo-
rate models, many of which are of chif-
fon or georgette crepe and are elabo-
rately embroidered in beads or silk.
dull gold or silver thread. But blouses
Of this class deserve story all their
own. Models In the dressy blouse
class as well as those intended for
more practical wear, are made with a
peplum or in the form Of a basque

New and Vivid coIorings.
The smart woman Of limited income

rather vivid eolorings. She will quite

browns or blues or greens which are
offered, leaving the new, Liberty reds
for her more fortunate sisters with a
larger wardrobe For the materials,
she will choose duvetyn-that is, if
she can afford it-but, if she finds this
too expensive. then she will favor fine
relours or a soft Eelvereen, Poiret
twill or q heavy English serge.
The phrase "unbelted, yet belted."
may be used in describing suit with
coat which is straight and long to
the knees. It has a fat back and
front, while circular ripping fuilness
Is held under narrow belts at the
waistline at either side. A narrow
rolled collar runs almost to the waist
line where the two front sections OF
the coat meet and fasten with link
buttons Of black bone. There are
pockets outlined with bands of the
material, but no trimming is used.
The skirt, which is ever SO slightly
circular, falls in ripples to beconl-
ing length.
Especially created for the woman
who favors loose lines in spite of the
new semiftted effects is a lovely de-
sign that would be charming in duve-
tyn or velvet, materials to which
it is very well adapted. Most distinc.
tive are the lines of the coat. Though
back and front are fiat, there are
loose flowing sides that tuck in IN
der at the bottom. The narrow belts
of the material confne the waist in
front, while a straight band of the
material forms the collar, crushing
softly around the neck. Long fitted
sleeves are finished with unusual
cuffs, loops of the material. The skirt
