course, buttons down tho back. The
yestee lives on and on and appears
just as often on. simple waists,of.wasll

ate type. 1:~'*
One finds waists Of georgette with
vests made by using frill after frill
of narrow Valenciennes lace. Always
the vestee is simulated by leaving the
front panel longer than the back SO
that 1t hangs over the skirt. Just as
often one finds q hem Of some con-
trasting color to the body of the
blouse added, tho contrasting color
appearing on collar and sleeves also.
Now and then in a very fine smock OF
organdie one finds this sort OF trim.
ming done with fine lace.
OF all Of the delightful summer
things we have seen none is more
charming than the smock of organdie
of a new sort which has dots Of a
different color scattered thickly over
Its surface. Tiny frills of the plain
.organdie trim collar and sleeves and
edge the turned back hem, while mar
row string belts of the organdie hold
the extra fullness In place at the
waist. These offer the greatest degree
Of freshness and crispness-which any
summer wash fabric ought to have.
The Long cossaek Blouse.
A variation Of the smock is the

to reach to the knees as not. It often
buttons right up to the chin, or again
it is apt to separate down the front
entirely to show a vest underneath
Of richness and beauty. The Cossack
blouse, as the name tells, Is borrowed
from Russia. 1t has the same droop-
ing fullness at the waist that one sees
In the Russian peasant garment, ar
ranged over a wide belt Of the sarne
material as the whole, garment or OF
different color and fabric.
The skirt of this blouse is always
very long, and just as apt to reach, to
the hem Of the skirt as NJ. 1t is
most often developed In some hand
some fabrics such as georgette thickly
braided or beaded, or fl silken indie
structible wolfe or even In heavier
silk or velvet, and naturally is in
tended for elaborate occasions. There
is nothing which offers a simpler way
of remodelling. an old garment than
the use Of Cossack blouse.
One can really make a sort Of
elongated shirt, and belt. it, in4 At. the,
waist and conform thus strictly TO. the:
type. Or the front can. be opened. a
vest added and the sides OF; the skirt
be left open to show the pettfcoat of
the dress beneath. There are endless
ways in which one can vary the de-
sign, therefore it has everything to
recommend it.
Now because there Is much talk of
these newer models We must not for
q moment think that the regulation
blouse or >sbirtwaist is out Of favor.
Indeed, 1t is not, and it is repeated in
just as many materials as there are
to make them. The kimono
type with its slip-on ease Is still much
favored for the dressfer blouses Of
georgette or chiffon. Many. have 1
rather tight foundation over which Is
hung panel Of contrasting color back
and front. This panel, while short,
Is left to hang free over the skirt and
Is smart in appearance. The sleeves
Of this blouse are Of the same color
and material as the body. One often
finds this type Of waist enveloped In
a combination Of organdie and linen
or pique or heavy lawn. The effect Is
pleasing and unusual, too. Il
