HEEPING tab on fashion" is
~ one, literally, II one uses the
charming model at the upper left.
and Fashion quite approves OF the
tab, provided 1t Is smartly and har-
moniously monogrammed.
The material for such a blouse
may be gray linen with white hand
kerchief linen or organdie front.
collar, cuffs and tag. and the mono
gram may be done in gray. The
silk family also has members from
which this model can be developed
equally well; such as, habutaye.
crepe de chine. or pussy willow.
Equally attractive. but a trihe
more severe as to line, Is the tai
lored model at the lower right.
Yet 1t retains a certain degree OF
feminine daintiness when made OF
old-blue dimity vested by white
pique.
Linen or silk may be used to adj.
vantage for this blouse as we'll as
for the one above. Each adds a
narrow, black-ribbon tie to give
proud emphasis to its newest fea-
ture-the waistcoat front.
