these elastics are omitted from the
front of the corset, and two stout
ones are placed at the back so that
this band will not slip upward.
There could be no more revolu-
tionary reversal of established fash
ion than this very thing, but after
two years of struggling. the corset
people have won the public TO- their
side. Naturally the comfort OF such
corsets has much to do with their.
adoption. The woman. who ceases to
pull her diaphragm over the edge OF
a corset and holds in her abdomen
with the strength of double-ply laces
is only too glad to accept a fashion
which permits her to expand to her
normal size.
WHEN this fashion became thor
w oughly intrenched among women
it was useless to ask Them to wear
blouses that tucked in under the skirt.
Only the women who continued to
wear boned corsets above the waist
line continued to go along the old
path. The rest took to the .oyerblouse
and to a skirt attached to a straight
bodice with the happy assurance that
; at last they could be fashionable and
comfortable. .
There is no. doubt, in the minds

rubber corset accumulated the popu-
larity of the new type of ovcrblouse

but they attach to themselves fur.
metal embroidery and Italian cut
out work.
Some of these blouses are strongly
peasant In their suggestion. They are
broad at the shoulders, sagging at the
hips, frightened by a broad and garish
belt and full of skirt. One wonders II
ANYTHING so unimportant as an under
skirt. If the fashion for short skirts
were stiH in existence, it would be
easy to add an extra band to one OF
these tunics and call it a gown.
There are other kinds of tunics than
these voluminous affairs which carry
All the glory Of the frock. There are
long. slim. severe shapes that are bodily
takenNfrom the civil war era. They,
too, were worn with long. full skirts,
the difference being that the skirts of
they drip in points. There is black
satin blouse trimmed with astrakhan
which looks as though it were copied
from Godney's Magazine. This type Of
blouse does not stand alone in the FASH
ions. 1t has many imitators And
they carry band of fur up the middle,
around the hem. and at the neck in
stiff manner that gives one a fieeting
glimpse of the tight jackets worn by
those Austr ian romantics who once sang
and danced through tine Strauss operas.
So sedate bl ouse as this, made of black
satin and black fur. would serge with
more skirts than black, for the fashion
is set for black hats and slippers as
accessories to all costumes

fact that the latter color Is a make
shift this season; it is not a de-
termining factor in fashion as it has
been.
With n cloth skirt it is no longer
poor judgment to wear an ornamental
blouse of satin that covers the hips.

about when one must wear the same
costume every day-and this Is what
most wobeen have been compelled to
do since the era of high prices.
Women like change in clothes as
men like 1t in food. and they leap
like trout at bait to any glittering
substance that floats on the surface
Of the stream of fashion. The desire
for variety in ones clothes is inn
bedded SO deeply in human, nature
that it is a wonder that the public
succeeds as we'll as it does in the
partial acceptance of a. uniform for
each season. ..-.
TWO blouses to one skirt pleases the

two pairs of shoes or two hats. She
is permitted four blouses to one skirt
this winter, 50 she should be ec-
statically happy. It is not necessary
for her to choose a black skirt as a
foundation for these gay and festive
blouses; she may choose gray, mauye,
beige, rust, Havana brown, French,

also an entirely new tendency toward

The universal habit OF Americans
nowadays of sleeping with open win

them with the right kind Of bedding
to make sleeping porch conditions
really comfortable. And now :. the
time to do this.
First consider the mattress. II
your bed is of the box-spring variety.
little air can come through beneath
the mattress. but if it consists of
light mattress resting upon Srpings
then you will find that much can be
done by reinforcing 1t to keep out the
cold air in this direction. Newspapers
laid between the springs and the mat
tress are OF great service in keeping
out the air, but they sometimes rustic

I The accent laid upon the tunic
blouse by the dressmakers is too
strong to be ignored. This garment
was the feature Of the collections
during the early autumn. 1t gives a
woman a chance to vary the upper
part Of her frock whenever the spirit
moves her What. she should bear
in mind is that such tunics should
be long. not short. You can see for
yourself how uhgracious the line is
when the blouse ends at the hips and
the skirt ends somewhat near the
ankles.
The. dressmakers constantly avoid
giving a woman such bad. proport tions
as this by building, blouses that reach
the knee. They sresemble Russian
tunics, and from such garments they
get their name. They. are distinctly
Ornamental, when the dressmakers
have anything to do with them. The
shops sell the simple ones which
serve for the informal hours, but the
dressmakers consider such garments
as the important parts of a costume
and they ask a sufficiently high price
to. make a woman believe that an
entire costume should be included.
There was never a time when the
separate blouse.T considered as the
best part of d frock, was not ap-i
preciated by women. 1t saves them
from a steady diet which is brought

The corsetless figure demands

factor against the sport blouse which

swinging from her shoulders.
There is no use for any. woman
to hold up her hands in horror over
the suggestion of corsetless figures.
The fashion is accomplished. Speak
ing in strict truth, there are few
figures on which some type of corset
Is not placed. but the word corsetless
refers to the absence Of the boned
corset which has been accepted for
centuries. -

THESE new silk tricot blouses are
arranged in a far more gracious
line. They open in; front in a V
shaped line and the upper side goes
across the figure. giving a modified
surplice effect. The belt, which goes
about the hip, line. is part OF the
blouse, but %heavily: woven in alter

appearance, The tightness of the
weaving keeps it from stretching and

Such blouses are preferred above all
others for sports and for tailored
suits. Women choose them in gray,
beige. white, and wear them with
whatever morning suit they possess
They catch the surplice neck with an
ornamental pin and often they wear
a narrow belt about the normal waist
line, which permits the soft tricot te
