j II when sleeves are set in regula-
3 ton armholes. Women have found
these loose, easy-to- get-into blouses so
. satisfactory that they refuse to return
to the more formal style, with fasten-
ing down the center front and waist
line to be adjusted with infinite nicely
under the skirt belt. Such blouses are
all very well for special occasions
when one cares to give every detail
OF the toilette careful attention, but
for the blouse that is slipped on and
off hastily and which must make one
presentable in q jiffy If necessity arise
the loose, slipon model remains the
favorlte.
And no blouse can hope to be fash
ionabl this season that does not de-
. scend over the skirt belt. Very large
|. figures do not look well--or trim
in tunic blouses that flare over the
skirt at.the hip, no matter how trinity
the waistline Is sashed or belted, but
there are plenty of over-the- waistline
blouses to be mad in heater and more
slender effects than the sashed-in
tunic, and some of these new styles
are presented on today's page.
Sashes Tied Low
The first requirement of blouse
now Is that it shall give q lonr-waisted
figure effect. The chunky short waist
ed figure is entirely out OF style and
IL ones waistlne is not naturally low
II must be made to look so by loosen
Ing the corset and tying the sash low
on the hips. This effect Is illustrated
in the blouse OF white Georgette en-
brotdered with silk dots; the sash is
dropped several inches below the
waistline and below the belt of the
skirt, giving the figure that fiat, youth
ful, long-waisted suggestion that is
now considered so desirable. You can
see for yourself that-with n blouse OF
this type-it makes absolutely no diff
terence how loose the corset Is worn
In fact, the looser the better, for the
hat, uncurved effect OF the figure.
4 This blouse is cut in the kimono
fashion and the sash is merely deep
'hemstitched hem with projecting ends
that tie loosely at one side. Every
thing depends on the location Of this
sash Cor hem), and IL ready-made
blouse Is not exactly right for your
particular proportions have the sash
lifted or lowered to meet your re-
qutrements. Elsewhere, there Is no
particular fit TO the blouse; It falls
loosely and easily from the shoulder.
The sleeves have miniature sashes. or
hens like the edge of the blouse and
all the dangling ends are finished
with silk tassels--henna colored TO
gmatch the embroidered dots on the
blouse. The collar initiates the effect
or sash and sleeve trimming and Is
made of two straight, folded strips of
Gcorgette sewed to the rounded neck
line. AT the right back the collar
divides and has button-trimmed and
tasseled corners like those at the left
front. Some space has been given to

With OF without Collars
Some of the new blouses have turned
down collars of one sort or another.

slash Is held together by a tiny, tall

the blouse.
