Blouses with the
Elton collar

The fair. for the Eton
collar has been made even
more decided by the COM
ing of the new spring suits.
So many youthful suits
have been given us by the
designers that this type
of blouse, so becoming to
most women, is the logical
type to be worn with them.
Twenty-Five models
In a wide choice of charming
materials; voile, madras, ba-
tiste, georgette crepe, pongee,
tub satin, fine dimity, crepe de
chine, eponge, gingham, hand
kerchief linen and ecru net.
All play upon the Eton collar
theme; some have slight modi-
fications of the mode that give
them individuality and charm.
PRICES, 50, $3.50, $3.50,
1918 and up to $3.50.
For sports wear, the little
Eton blouse of handkerchief
linen in gay color, or those of
white dimity, edged with color,
are particularly good. Checked
gingham Eton blouses have a
newness and distinction be-
cause of this unusual use of an
always-plcasing material.

"The general might possibly restore discipline by reducing every one to the ranks, and in time make his own promotions, under kindly advisement of course. ' "Of course, but it is hard for all to get out of the rut, and this is all just as true of large church as small, or of city church as a country, and 1t is good for any one to march with the rank and file for a time and not fall out but march"
