Dark blue sateen OF fine quality Is
often mistaken for real satin and 1t
possesses excellent wearing qualities.
A chic model which can be impressed
into service on almost any occasion
has a blouse with open front into which
is set a vest OF tucked Georgette crepe.
The back Of the blouse extends over
the shoulders forming a yoke effect in
front Below the rever collar on either
side are placed rows of small buttons
with an outer row Of French knots ar
ranged like sentinels TO protect the
buttons. The two-piece skirt has a
side tunic extending In deep points,
with open front and back.
Bordered materials are in greater
vogue than ever and border effects are
expressed in everything from old-tash-
ioned calico to the newest tancies In
silk manufacture The blouse Of en-
broidered crepe Georgette with en-
brofdered border is charming for wear
with skirts Of soft silk. satin or broad
cloth. The latest model has the front
in panel effect, cut in one with a deep
shoulder yoke. This arrangement is
repeated at the back. the sides being
gathered to the yoke The neck Is US

the sleeves haring.
