Blouse Very Important
Part of Chic Ensemble

Blouses this season are considered
less as a separate item than a part
and an important part-of the ensem-
pie. The collections contain a large
assortment, using every shade of the
new colors, some quite plain, others
elaborate enough to complete a hand
some costume. Some engaging models
of printed goods are shown, which are
to be matched by the scarf and hat
trimming.
Among the simpler blouses of plain
goods are some made with intricate d.
agonal scanning, fagotting, stitching or
other needlework, and in some the
neckline is much softened by means
of a scarf, tie, jabot or frill of the
material, which in crepe blouses is
fringed along the edge and made to
cascade down the front.
In colorful ensemble in nasturtium
yellows, with hat of light Milan
straw of medium-size brim, trimmed
with double strip of crepe in two
shades of yellow, there is a soft blouse
made of the deepest shade, of diagonal
sections Joined with fine single tuck
ing. 1t has a plain V-neck, and at one
side a scarf of the crepe fringed all
along the edges, which is to be worn
about the throat and which is long
enough to extend over the opposite
shoulder and down the back. This little
ensemble includes skirt of light
brown plated crepe, and gloves,
hosiery and shoes to harmonic, and
make chic becoming and practical
costume, suitable for almost any in
formal daytime occasion other than
active sports.
The same idea, carried out with
many variants of colors and fabrics
in models that are both simple and
elaborate, has met with immediate
success. Lace, chiffon, figured and
plain wolfe, metallic Rodier stuffs and
beaded nets are worn with separate
skirt in the same color scheme, making
a dressy outfit that will answer for
formal luncheon, restaurant dinner and
the play.
Some new Partisan models are
made of net in blue, beige or rose, the
hat, scarf and blouse being soidly COW
cred with sequins, while the skirt is
softly draped and of chiffon, georgette
or net of matching color For each OF
these ensembles the accompanying hal
is turban model.

But Artie did nothing of the kind
