aud number in cases of delivery by

work the failure to place the complete

Blouse Orders
For Christmas
Are Popular

Old II. c. l.. is said to be coming
down; but even so the buying public
seem to have awakened to the fact
that useful gifts are acceptable and
are appreciated by people more gen
orally than in the past.
Instead of useless trinkets, mer-
chandise orders for shoes, clothing
hats and gloves have been gaining
in popularity each Christmas for sew
eral years, and now comes the blouse
order.
The buying public are this minute
scratching their heads, asking them
selves, What shall | give her for
Chrlstmas?" Most stores that sell
women's wearing apparel will sell
blouse or merchandise orders during
the holiday season, which can be
purchased for any amount, depend
ing Of course, upon the generosity
and the pocketbook of the giver.
When one thinks OF it, there Is
probably no article of women's wear.
ing apparel that will give the pleas
ure and satisfaction; and at the same
time be purchased at reasonable
prices, as some of the beautiful new
OyerblOuse effects that one sees in
the show windows and blouse de-
partments this season.
Just now the styles shown are the
most attractive that have ever been
displayed in this type Of feminine
wear. Among the materials used is
a new silk fabric called "Mignonette,
similar to Tric0lette, but Of finer
weave. Satins, Tricolettes, Duven-
tyenes, Crepes and striking effects in
Georgettes, in contrasting shade COM
binations. These are attractiYely
trimmed with beads, chenille, braids
and embroidery. The Oliver blouse
is no doubt with us for long stay.
When worn with skirt, in shade
that harmonizes, it gives the appear
ance of one-piece dress Extreme
and higher priced models are shown
in short sleeves, while those used for
dressy occasions by most women are
the three-quarter sleeves which reach
just below the elbow; also long
sleeves, especially in tailored and
semi-tailored effects. Both of the
latter being considered correct by
leading fashion authorities both in
New York and Paris.
As few persons. especially those
Of the masculine sex, dare take the
responsibility of selecting blouse
for "milady fair" they will, because
of the popularity of the blouse as
suitable Christmas present, turn to
buying merchandise or blouse orders
in our stores this Christmas season.
