The High Collar
I1ARIS continues to favor the
overblouse, and in these there
is great vogue for high

low that the high-collared blouse
matches in any way the suit with
which it is worn In fact, it is quite
the contrary. A woman chooses a
material in her favorite color or at
least becoming one, and has a
blouse made of it. Sometimes the
hat matches the brilliant blouse
which, when worn with tailored
suit, gives the appearance of a
bright-colored vest.
The preference is for the heavier
materials in blouses. In these satin
takes quite as prominent a place as
it does in dresses. Here we also see
the lavish use CT ornamentation
noted on frocks There are en-
broideries in very bright colorings
such as orange, green and red.
The kimono sleeve appears to be
passing from the realm of blouse
fashions as everywhere the set-in
sleeve is seen. This is a departure
to be welcomed, for a sleeve set into
short shoulder IS certainly trim
mer-looking than the loose kimono
model, and likewise has a tendency
to make its wearer look younger.
Great Attention Paid
To the Latest Blouses
IN THE olden days we considered a
q blouse something to wear with q
suit for sports or shopping; now, un-
der this new treatment, they have
become important articles of dress.
The way in which they are handled
is really very clever. They are so
picturesque and youthful that they
make great psychological appeal
tc feminine favor which assured
their success at the outset.
Many of the blouses are as elah-
orately embroidered as the new
gowns. The elaboration, as in the
case of the gowns, takes the form Of
trimming as the blouses themselves
are as simple as can be, owing to the
fact that they slip over the head and
are in jumper style. The embroidery
on many of the blouses is in yerv
beautiful old Chinese colorings such
as blues and yellows, with here and
there threads of gold glinting
through the embroidery.
Among the trimmings appear-
ing on blouses are highly glazed
feathers cut into buttonhole-Iil<e
forms and applied by means of a
long and short stitch of silk. This
trimming has been employed to some
extent on frocks, but little of it has
been seen on blouses until recentlv.
The Lightweight Blouse
Still Has Its Appeal
0F COURSE, we have any num-
Der of blouses Of the lighter
weight materials, for no matter what
fashion creators bring out there is
always a Certain demand for the
blouse of sheer material. Among re-
cent imports are blouses that tuck
in at the waist line, which are made
of fine nets elaborately trimmed with
real laces. Narrow Valenciennes is
used on these net blouses in the form
of ruff1es which run from the neck
line to the waist. Even the yerv
wide laces are used in this wav.
They also form collars and frills on
the sleeves.
Blouses of tricolette and silk ier-
seys have not departed from the
foreground of fashion. They are
too serviceable to be easily ousted.
Many of the greatest French dress
makers feature silk jersey blouses
extensively. Cheruit makes them Of
loose mesh jersey and literally
covers them with beautiful embroid-
cries in brilliant contrasting colors.

over blouses knitted very much after
the fashion of sweater. For these
they use narrow silk braid which
