convenient. Each type of blouse is
made In many ways so that there Is
always new story to tell OF them
a thousand and one enchantments to
be recorded. There are bits OF splen-
dor among them that lend a grand air
to a pretty skirt; there are those that
carry flavor Of daintlness and sum-
merry color with them and bestow these
allurements on tailored suits, and there
are those elegancies In handmade
wash blouses that tone up sport or
street suits with the refinement of
sheer fabrics and hand-wrought
needlework.
Two new aspirants for favor, among
others In the waist shops. have been
chosen for illustration here. One Is a
kimono blouse OF georgette, with short
peplum. II is sllp-on model with
kimono sleeves outlined and edged
with button-hole stitches In silk. Love-

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"oRoG."

A T FIRST glance there would
"A appear to be little connec-
tion between the word "gros-
grain." applied to heavy silks
and ribbons, and "grog," the
sailors slang for drink. But both
ot them were connected with Ad-
miral Edward Vernon OF the
British navy, the man who
gained fame for the capture OF
Porto Bello during the war with
Spain in 1899 and for whom
Mount Vernon. the home OF
Washington. was named.
To the men OF the British
navy, however, he owes his
greatest fame to the fact that
he was the first TO order rum
and water served 10 the men OF
his squadron, beginning this
practice on board his own ship.
the Burford. Previous To
this time, the admiral had ac-
quired the name OF "Oid Grog,"
from his habit Of strolling along
the quarterback In 'grogram"
cloak - 'grogram" being the
British sailors corruption OF the
term "gros- grain" Because OF
the nickname OF the man who
originated the serving OF rum In
the navy. the drink was called
"grog"-and "grog" II is. to this
day.
