NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-In a sea-
son that stresses the importance OF
accessories. blouses take their place
as the most important accessory OF
the tailored mode.
Last season. with the advent OF
suits. blouses came to the fore. Now,
with suits still in high favor, blouses
start the season with all the self
assurance of the socially correct.
There are any numbers of differ
ent varieties OF little blouSes this
season. Witness the family colored
handkerchief linen ones. with fine
handwork. the ecru batiste ones
France sends us. the polo shirt and
other sports blouseS, and the ex-
uuisitely dressy little chiffons and
georgettes that complete satin,
panne velvet and other formal
afternoon costumes.
Two BIouses are Most Important
Two types of blouses, however,
will have a genuine importance all
their own this season. One is the
sweater blouse that derives its place
in the sun because by color light.
design or line it makes of its suit
q perfect whole.
Both Of these costumes are chic
and charming. Both stress the
feminine note by soft collar, fancy
cuffs. embroidery or some other
concession.
Most suits can change their char
acter. If not their spots, by having
two blouses instead of one. 1t is
an excellent idea to buy the second
blouse with this in mind, rather
than to have two of the same type.
Soft Jersey Certain of Popularity
Perhaps the soft jersey blouSeS
will have a larger prominence than
figured silks. for the simple reason
that they are so serviceable, wrap
into small space for packing when
travelling and shake out with little
effort.
Moreover. they clean as easily AS
r handkerchief is washed and the
fabrics and colors are so good now
that they look Just as shapely and
pretty after much hard wear and
many trips to the dry cleaning
establishment.
1 have imported from Patou one
lovely jersey blouse that 1 think
will please many types Of women.
1t is tan and dull red jersey, and 1t
fits tight over the hips. 1t is belted
at natura; waiStline and blouses
above this belt in a very new way.
There is a special cuff. with two
square tabs. fastened with square
red buttons. There is a scarf collar
in the dull red tone, in fine fiat
crepe. that grows quite dignifled by
being attached to the frockS neck
line across the back and then hav-
ing its ends slipped through a loop
of jersey.
Wear with Tan or Dull Red Skirt
This is stunning with either a
dull red skirt or tan one. Or it
is very effective worn with black
velvet suit. If this is the case, a
little black velvet turban, softly
draped by Reboux, is an excellent
choice.
To complement dark green suit.
have designed a blouse of plaid
tafTeta. in green. black and beige
coloring. Since the skirt has panels
of pleats. the blouse is cut coat
effect to fit down over the skirt.
Three green and beige bone but
tons hold the little coat blouse shut.
The deep V neck ends in a soft
bow of the taffeta and a tiny pocket
at the right side is quite handy to
hold a green chiffon handkerchief.
It's for Formal Suit Wear
This blouse is quite effective and
excellent for quite formal suit wear.
One of the prettiest jersey sports
blouseS of the season, in my opin-
ion. is a little chartreuse ones with
a conventional pattern in cross
stitch in cream and black. While
some of these blouses feature silk
collars for softness' sake, this one
has a yoke of cream silk that runs
down the front like a vestee.
This has a fine line of black run
ming down ii. to tie it up to the
embroidery on cuffs and around the
waistline. For wear with this type
Of blouse, a beige wool beret is
excellent. It has a narrow black
