Plenty Of Color.
These costume blouses usually
make no attempt to carry out the
color of the SUIT. They come in
bright colors or in white, sand. bicse
or gray. The all-over embroidered
blouse is frequently seen. as are The
notifications of the peasant BLOUSE.
The alternative of the costume
blouse is the beautiful lingerie blouse
of white dimity or wolfe. made entire
~ by hand, with frills or a fancy
collar TO be worn outside the jacket.
The blouse OF white crepe de chine
with hand hcmstitching and the
monogram either in white or black
or in pastel shade is also excellent
style and may be worn outside or in
side the skirt.
Tiny bouquets OF French flowers or
fancy belts are frequently worn with
these suits and as the fall comes On.
the fur neckpicce is added. This need
not be the inevitable fox. but may be
a choker of mole. erminc. caracul or
any short-haired fur. made after the
attractive pattern of the one skctched.

Paris, Sept. 2S.-No matter how
small or how large her wardrobe, the
Frenchwoman always has one plain
suit of blue Or black wool.
You can't call it Il tailormade, Cor
it isn't. The Parisienne never is
tailormade, she always puts some
little feminine touch to her costume
that removes it from the uniform class
but this suit is as near as she ever
gets 10 severity.
This season the favorite suit is The
straight jacket, bloused by a narrow
belt just below the hips. with peg
fectly straight and very narrow
skirt.
With this she wears the fascinating
blouses. vcstees and accessories for
which she is so justly celebrated.
It's Very Simple.
The fashionable blouse. as YOU
will notice by these very Parisiennc
little sketches. is simplicity itself and
has no intention of betraying the
whereabouts of the waistline or vio-
lating the straight-line silhouette
any more than the one-piece frock has.
And you can readily see that with
out the jacket. these blouscs give
the effect of frock of two materials
rather than just blouse and skirt.
On the one you will notice the
smart little close collar of ribbon with
