Eestee lives on and on and apOesrs
Just as often on simple waists Of Eash
tabric as II does on the more elabor-
ate type.
One finds waists Of georrette Win
vests made by using FIN after frsil
Of narrow Valenciennes lace. Always
the Vestee is simulated By leaving the
'front.' panel longer than the back 20
that 1t hangs over the skirt. Just al
often one finds a hem Of some con-
traStlng color to the body OF the
blouse added, the contrasting color
I appearing on collar and sleeves also.
Now and then In q very fne smock Of
0rgandie one finds this sort Of trim
ming done with ane lace.
OF all Of the delightful summer
things we have seen none Is more
charming than the smOck Of orEandIe
Of new sort which has dots Of a
different color scattered thIckly over
IL surface Tiny frilIs Of the plain
organdie trim collar and sleeves and
edge the turned hack hem. while mar
row string belts OF the organdIe hold
the extra fullness In place nj 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
COSsack blouse. This Is just as apt
to reach to the knees as not. 1t often
buttons right up to the chin. or agaIn
1t 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 saToe
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 not. II is
most often developed in some hand
some fabrics such as geOrgette thickly
braided or beaded. or in sflken in6e-
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 remOdeling an old garment than
the use Of a COsSack blouse.
One can really make a sort of
elongated shirt and belt IT In at the
waist and conform thus strictly to the
type. Or the front can be opened, q
vest added and the sides Of the skirt
be left open 20 show the petticoat Of
the dress beneath There are endless
ways in which one can vary the de-
sign, therefore IT has everything to
recommend II.
Now because there Is much talk of
these newer models we must not for
a moment think that the regulation
blouse or shirtwaist is out Of favor
Indeed, II is not, and IT is repeated in
just as many materials as there are
factories to make them. The kimOno
type with its slip-On ease Is still much
favored for the dreSSier blOuses Of
geOrgette or chiffon. Many have q
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 enyeloped in
a combination Of organdie and linen
or pique or heavy lawn. The effect Is 1
pleasing and unusual. too.
Waist Of Tailored Type
As to the more tailored type Of waist
for travelling or business there are
several models which bid for favor.
One Of these is the strictly tailored
