would expose the man and Bring I'M

BLOuS es for
Spring ShoW
Less Change

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-Spring blouses
show less variation from the past seasons
offerings than any other branch Of the
feminine garment world.
The main difference is in colOring and
materisl, which is only the natural change
from winter to summer wear. ColOrs
are very gay. Practically all the manu-
facturers are turning out vast quantities
Of porcelain blue, tangerine, honeydew
and rattan models.
Materials are swerving from the heavy
satins, brocades and tafetas of midwinter
to the georgettes, nets and laces Of early
spring. Georgette combined with silk or
tricot is much in evidence. The leading
color combination is gray geOrgette, with
coral or rose silk. Gray is the winning
color in hats, shoes, hose and wrap trim
! mings, and it is for this reason that
blousos favor it in dress models.
One house is showing a model Of tie
back gray georgette with back and front
, panel OF coral metallic silk. These panels
(, are covered with an all-over pattern of
/ black floss stitching. The sleeves are
{ three-quarter length and have the loose,
flowing peasant cuff.
The peasant influence, by the way, Is
strongly developed in spring blouses.
The Roumanian cut and coloring is espe-
eially emphasized. Peasant smocks made
+ Of linen, pongee, crash or muslin IN nat
ural color and embroidered with blues
and reds are a big seller for Southern
resort wear right now.
The crossstttch is used for embroider-
ing cotton blOuses and the pattern IS
generally applied about the peplum. col
larless neck and down the front. where
a large square of round design is placed.
The peasant cut is effected by the loose
sleeves, loose armholes and peplum belted
at the waist. The old time flowing Rus
sian overblOuse is almost entirely sup
planted by this belted effect. Either a
belt Of self material is used or a kid belt
In contrasting color. These narrow kid
belts Of white, tan, scarlet or brown are
lav1shly used on all blouses and are a
big feature Of dress geOrgette blOUses as
well as the peasant cotton smocks
Basque blOuses are not returning to
any extent In the spring lines But the
high chOker collar which was a part Of
the basque is retained in many lingerie
and silk models. It Is quite the vogue
to have a very high collar and very short
sleeves, Ia the grand opera gowns Of
this season.
Lingerie blOuses are not verT conspic-
uous because of the impossibility OF get
ting this handiwork done. However. a
lew very select shops are displaying their
priceless hand made linens, voiIes and
organizes. They are embossed with more
eutwork, scaloDiIg and solid embroidery
than was considered good taste a few
years ago. but the fortunate women who
can aford them affect to find them very
beautiful Narrow colOred ribbon sashes
or girdles are run through hand-wrought
eyelets and tie at the side
Loose cotton sports blouses in
variety OF gay colors, such as Jade, en-
erald, topaz, canary, porcelain blue, rose
and scarlet, are shown TO be worn with
the sleeveless ribbon or wool jackets.
