Blouses in semi-fitted or Jacket
styles are to be conspicuous in the
new fall fashions. SO say authorities.
These styles will take us back to the
1860 period when the fashionable ones
Of the country were well dressed only
when they wore a waist or basque
which was extremely tight fitting and
which was reinforced with stays and
| a heavy lining. In this style of blouse
the fastening is in front, sometimes
buttoning close up to the chin with
standing collar and sometimes fasten-
ing only to a V-neck in which case a
rolling collar is featured. so says the
Dry Goods Economist. Comparatively
heavy silks are best adapted to this
style of waist since they are scanned
and fitted. A short peplum extends
below the waist line on these models
and flares slightly, giving a widened
effect to the hips.
A number of years ago upon the
prediction of change in style SINH
lar to this. every woman from 16 to
60 would have planned to follow the
new fashion, but the woman of today
is dressing more and more to suit her
individual style and taste. Modern
writer's and authorities have predicted
that in a few years to come woman
kind will wear whatever. she looks
the best in regardless of whether II
was the prevailing style of year past
or five years past And If Tom OF
Dick or Will liked a pink gingham
dress made with ruffles before they
were married she will be just as con-
tent TO wear it on their fifth wedding
anniversary date as she was before
the marriage vows were exchanged
