that buttons at the throat, the cuffs

and the front is beaded in vest effect
with stripes of tiny jet beads. Black
and white is ever so smart, and this
blouse is a good argumentfo the pre-
vailing color scheme.
There is beige color overblouse of
a beautiful quality of georgette crepe
that has wide bands of deep ivory
Spanish lace. 1t has a cluster of tiny
tucks at each shoulder, the sleeves
are short and the round neck is bound
in the material. This is a very lovely
blouse for dressy wear and is very
reasonable in price.
The gorgeous colors are very good
too, and the somber looking suits of
black are all the more attractive for
the accompaniment of a somewhat
dashing blouse. One in the sunset
shade of heavy crepe de chine is
bound in peacock blue. The bodice is
deliberately beaded and embroidered.
The demure dark blue biouse'with a
V-shaped vest of gray is frightened by
