THE blouse seems to be the modes
special object Of elaboration. Every
advance fashion display assigns to the
separate blouse prominent part in its
program. OF every color and varied
design, from long tunic to fitted hip
band effect, embroidered, beaded, hand
painted, forgetting not insets Of tucks
and plaits, ornateness is the word
when 1t comes to the fashionable
blouse types. OF course strictly tall
ored ones serve a practical need, but
the costume blouse grows more fanci-
full as the autumn season advances.
Favorite blouse modes trace their
origin to peasant ancestry. Their long
full sleeves gather in at the wrist, as
tho blouse in the picture demonstrates

Delightful Fabric Regarded
As Appropriate for Any
Formal Affair.

No longer is Organdie reserved for
the simple frock of the graduate 1t
has taken it's place among the mate,
rails considered appropriate for occa-
sions of formality. For several sea-
sons a number of the most exclusive
designers have used organdie for din
ner and dance frocks and as a result
we have had organdie embroidered in
silver and color thread, organdie deco
rated with colorfpl motifs done in
wool, organdie trimmed with appliques
of taffeta, but new note appears this
season in organdie frocks which have
decorative motifs worked out in tiny
crystal or china beads.
Recently there have appeared two
models of great individuality and
much charm. These are developed in
black-and-white organdie with a strik-
ing touch of contrast in streamers Of
1ame-color ribbon. Some idea of the
chic of one of these frocks may be
cleaned from an interesting model re-
Gently displayed
The dress itself is of crisp black or
candle with swirling motifs of tiny
white china beads and white silk cm-
broidery. A wide band of white organ
die finishes the skirt and small flat
white buttons ornament the streamers
of flame-color grosgrain ribbon. If
one desires a more practical gown,
georgette may be used instead of or
candle without detracting in any way
from its smartness.
Colored organdie, both plain and
hand embroidered, is used for warm

a hole made in the counter just
above it. When the garbage pail
was set on this little shelf it
was easy to dispose of vege-
table parings or other food refuse
without leaving the place where one
was working. A high kitchen stool
was provided, the wood box was fit
ted with casters, and all small uten-
sils that would hang up were put on
hooks on the left side Of the window.
These improvements were made In

The cloche and the new high crowns
In some instances formed compro-
mise, in that the tall crown with bon
netlike brim is noted among early ar
rivals. This is especially true of the
newer felt shapes.
Apropos of midsummer days Is the
white felt chapeau, which is so clever
ly designed with the modish high
crown. A very pretty model is bound
with silver ribbon, with the same en-
circling the crown and tied in a perky
little bow just over the narrow cloche
brim. These popular white felts are
alike fashionable in extreme simplicity
or ornate with applique of handmade
white crepe flowers combiaed with
narrow white ribbon embroidery.

SO perslstently held the center of the

One Of the earliest high-crown ar

Should She Wear Seven
Different Pairs of Shoes ?

The really well-dressed woman, we
are informed on the highest authority,
says an exchange, should wear seven
different pairs Of shoes day.
Just what they are we have forgot
ten, but the information gives us quite
a thrill.
It is long way back to the times
when Abraham Lincoln delivered his
dictum on legs. When somebody
asked him how long he thought mans
legs should be, he replied that careful
research had convinced him that they
should be just long enough to reach the
ground.
In those days legs, and feet also,
were regarded merely as parts of the
body. Now they are evidently what
might be called the groundwork Of a
fashion show.

edge a strong thread by which the rib
bon may be drawn in gathers to form
little ruff1es. There are striped,
checked, Powered and figured patterns,
wide enough to form the bodice of an
evening gown, narrow enough to make
wrist-watch band. Some are double
faced, some of metal and silk COM
bined. Quite the daintiest little trim
ming ribbons are those of black satin
brocaded with flowers in color. A
quaint style is the taffeta ribbon seal

In order to have good light and a
pleasant view from window while
working at her kitchen cabinet, farm
woman living in Chesterfield county,
Va, had the top part removed and
fastened to the wall at the right side
of one of the kitchen windows. The
lower half, containing the bins and
drawers, was set directly in front Of
the window and It's top surface was
extended on each side with shelf
making a counter reaching two cor
ners of the room. These extension
pieces were carefully fitted. into the
available space and joined to the top
of the cabinet. The entire counter
was then covered with linoleum match

Vogue for Brooches

There is a decided diminution today
in the vogue for. earrings, but the
vogue for brooches placed at unusual
angles is on the increase. A favorite
resting place for the big cameo brooch
is on the wrist, where it is held by a
wide band of velvet ribbon.

Practically all of the new fabrics

them is made Of cashmere, the rest
being Of selected merino WOOL.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AT LOULIE COMPTON SEMINARY

A thrilling event of the athletic sea- son of the seminary was the basketball game on Thursday afternoon on the school campus. The senior team with Elizabeth Morris as captain, and the sophomores led by Edmonia Henley made fierce fight for the ball amid cheers from both sides of the field. The seniors, however, scored highest and the Crimson and White penants waved proudly over friend and foe. A fine spirit of sportsmanship was notice able throughout the game.
 On Friday afternoon the two teams of the juniors and freshmen were pitted against each other in warmly contested game. On that occasion for tunte was such tickle goddess that not until the very last quarter did the score mount up in favor of the juniors.
 Miss Mary Ozburn, faculty athletic manager, deserves congratulations for her impartial feelings on all debated points, as we'll as for her able leader ship.
 On Wednesday afternoon, in the sem mary auditorium, the freshman class presented highly unique entertain ment. Under the direction of Miss Weld. head of the English department, the class had dramatized Stevenson's S Treasure Island" and on this occasion staged and played it with genuine dra- matic taste. The young actors brought out the subtle points of the story with remarkable zest. The quaint costumes added much to the impression of the production.
 The seminary annual is well under way with Mrs. Roberta K. Borden, as faculty editor. The staff is as follows t: Editor-in- Chief. Mary Schroder; senior editor, Ruth Brabston; business man agers, Virginia Tutwiler and Margaret Shook junior editors, Genevieve Hop son and Virginia Jefferson; sophomore editors, Elizabeth Massey and Alice Finch; freshman editors, Agnes Fer ryl Matthews, and Jennie Hood Hunt i; art editors, Aldyth Crane, Martha Riley Selman and Nellie Alice Brady, advertisement editor, Rebecca Frazier. If the enthusiasm of the student body means anything, the annual of 1925 will exceed in beauty and interest all of its predecessors.

GIRL SCOUT MOVEMENT INTERESTING

Opening of the Community Chest drive and the many beneficiaries of the work is a reminder of some of Birming. hams leaders in the various organiza. tions here, one of which is the Girl Scouts, and Mrs. Asa Rountree, Jr. that very clever and unselfish worker whose marriage to Asa Roundtree, Jr., Il few years ago brought her to Bir- mingham to live. She has been in- tensely interested in the Girl Scout movement among her other active en- deavors to make Birmingham bet ter place in which to live.
 A communication from New York headquarters of the Girl Scouts is of interest, particularly in the south,
