New BlOuses Are
Smartly Lovely

The new blouses are so exceedingly
lovely that every woman must want at
least one, And if one, why not two?
Or three? Or four or more?
They are not exorbitant in price-at
least reasonable ones that are attractive
can be found. Some Of them. of course,
cost lot and can only be bought by
the woman with generous dress al
lowance.
TIE woman who can sew cleverly
can make them for herself, and so cut
down their cost greatly-especially in
the more expensive sorts. You know

expensive clothes than cheap ones You
can buy cheap ready-made clothes SO
very reasonably that ii hardly pays.
sometimes, to make them. But 1t costs
a great deal less to make a blouse of
expensive material at home than to
buy one.
One Of the very expensive blouses
that we have mentioned is made of
metal cloth. The new metal cloth is
sheer and soft. and lends itself admira-
bly, to blouses. The blouse in question
Is mace Win long. ClgnC sleeves, WIN Il
little puff at the top, set into low arm
holes. The neck is draped slightly. a
sort Of cowl drapery. There is mar
row belt. with a little jeweled buckle,
at a rather high waistline.
The new blouses are made with a
fairly close-fitting section below the
waist Sometimes 1t is crossed over and
open at the front Sometimes it Is
scanned up and pulled on over the head.
Usually there is a belt Though some
times the pinching-in at the waistline
Is effected by fine tucks.
White satin blouses are still in good
style. though tea. eggshell, oyster are
also much used-the off-white shades.
So are tan and peach. These satin
blouses are sometimes made with turn
back rever collars. and sometimes a
scarf of the same material passes around
the neck and is pulled through bound
buttonhole of each rever.
Batiste blouses of the finest quality,
most daintily made, are also worn with
Autumn suits.
Some of the new blouses have three
quarter length sleeves. some shorter

Mode Comes
From Ugliness

You cannot make silk purse out Of
sows ear-but the French dress
makers have done something very much
like 1t. They have gone for inspiration
TO periods when in many ways fashions
were at their ugliest, and from such
inspiration they have contrived to pro-
duce set Of fashions of unusual charm
and beauty.
Take the Second Empire fashions
the clothes and hats and wraps that
women wore in the days of the En-
press Eugene. Those fashions were
bound and trammeled by an age of re-
preston, Of inhibitions They were
ugly. Women wore reforming corsets
Hoops distorted and hid the graceful
lines of the body. A prudish attitude
on things in general hampered clothes
as much as manners.
But from that ugly background the
modern dreSsmaker. who is really a
great artist. has chosen and taken those
details. those essentials that are beau
tiful and remodeled them into what We
call Empress Eugene fashions-becom-
ing. alluring. charming.
The newer late nineteenth century
fashions, too. have been evolved in the
same way From the rather ugly origi-
mails of 1890 1890. even 1900-tight
stiff fashions if ever there were any

From the day of the hustle. the tight.

come the lovely adaptations Of those
fashions that we like so we'll today In
a period Of freer feeling. of emancipa-
ton from corsets from collars. from
prudery and false modesty. we have
worked out what was beautiful and de-
sirable in those fashions into some
thing new and modern.

BY MARY MARSHALL.

CHANGES in fashion amount to more
~ than a mere state of mind. True
they reflect our whims and moods, but
there are deep underlying reasons at
the base Of most of them. II one but
had time to delve deeply into the matter
it would be interesting to discover the
rules that govern sleeves. For more
than decade after the war we simply
didn't take sleeves into consideration
at all. Dresses either had them or they
didn't They were usually long. straight
and plain or else there weren't any
sleeves at all. And yet almost from the
beginning of that era one heard pre-
dictions. Fashion authorities here and
there foretold the revival of interest in
ornate sleeves and now and then an
important dressmaker would launch an
interesting sleeve which attracted some
comment and then passed into oblivion
But for some interesting reason
sleeves are important this season. One
might say, in fact, that there have
been more changes in sleeves within
the past few months than in ANYTHING
else. The important business of bring

Occasional Tables

Portable and our houses more attractive.
They come in every variety. for use
fulness and appearance. In all finishes
from early American maple to the most
modern French enamel. In all shapes
from the tiny three cornered tables
that tuck inconspicuously but usefully
into corners to nests of Colonial ma
hogany or Crinese lacquer.
The thing about them that is best
is that they take up little space and
that they add a hundredfold to the
comfort and convenience Of a room.
It's fun shopping for these little ia
bles. The shops are full OF them. so
shopping is the best way to get them,
for the variety displayed gives you
ideas you can't get otherwise.
For the living room there are nests
Of small tables that may be used for
tea or solitaire for smoking kit or sew

modern-black or silver enamel, three
low stands tucked one under the other,
with a rounding line from the base OF
one leg, oyer the table top, down to
the base of the other
Chinese lacquered stands in nests are
most attractive. In red or green or
black they fit into almost any color
scheme.
There are reading stands of many
sorts-one one-legged stand that

club there is the smartest of light green

White corduroy georgette makes the
blouse OF severely tailored black suit
and the ends of the scarf yoke slip
through Sits in the jacket at the left

touch Of color This same idea Is used In
a long. dark blue ensemble when the
small half-handkerchief scarf of white
breitschwanz is knotted through the
same sort of slit at the back of the
coat collar This coat is form fitting
and full length, except in front, where
1t ends abruptly at the waist, letting
the SIDE cores go nonchalantly on their
way to the bottom of the skirt. The
dress is a perfectly simple princess af-
fa1r. fastening under the arm, and cut
in four pieces. but fitted so cleverly
that the mannequin seems to have been
poured into 1t.
Another amusing scarf is an oval of
crocheted wool, about five inches wide,
which Is Topped around the throat three
times.
For more formal wear, there are de-
ngntful paJamas. pajama dresses and
gowns. One OF the last mentioned Is in
rich ecru lace. molding the body to the
knees. where 1t escapes in godetS. The
belt is of brown groSgrain ribbon with
green Silk across the front, and ties in
a prim bow in the back. There is
bracelet like 1t for one wrist. The out
ht is completed by tiny coat of brown
velvet.
Another frock of pink ribbon has a
hchu, and snug fingerless mitts ending
just over the elbow, of brown shadow
lace. Then there Is the fancy-colored
satin costume, skirt in front and trou-
sers In the back, which really is ire

pleting 1t above the waist, one OF the
most beautifully cut garments OF the
season. A black velvet pajama cos

sections, had a yoke of white marocain
which ended in flowing angel sleeves
which are either wrapped around the
arms or tied back or front as a sash. A
pajama in bright rust color with gold
figures had tiny tab pockets of the same
material in green, both back and front
as well as at the slit sides at the an
kles. The green stuff makes the SIM
with rather wide elbow sleeves.
A word must also be said about the
amusing costume jewelry. A plain gold

PARIS. October 8.
THERE is a new Partisan dressmak-
ing house which gives every indi-
cation of being one of those phenom-
email successes which happen once in a
long time and seem to justify the old
saying about the perfect mouse-trap
and the beaten path. Vera Borea is
the head Of this new house, and she is
combining herself to creating daytime
and evening clothes, for both town and
country. She does not like formal aft
make them. And by the same token
she must like the sports, street and eve
ming things she creates, for she does
them very well.
Her business is tucked away in the
Rue-EpArtois. and her collection is not
large, but instead of trying to remem-
Der what was good in a very big COL
lection. one is quite as embarrassed by
remembering almost every outfit she
showed as something one would like to
write about.
There is an attractive four-piece out
fit, for instance, with a matching hat.
The long coat Is a black and brown
tweed mixture, a color combination
favored by the ComteSse Borea. with a
skirt of special Italian tweed in

OF black here and there. Then there is
black jacket which comes to the hip
bone and is knitted in a chevron pat

the new lace jerseys. which seems to
be horizontal lines held together with
something like a tatting stitch in
orange. 1t fastens close around the
throat with little turnover collar with
black and white galalith clasp. The
top coat has wide brown leather belt
that shows outside only across the back
panel and then goes through Sits to
clasp around the waist under the coat.
Another four-piece costume has the
skirt, with its deep inverted pleat at
center front, and plain back and the
little monkey coat which buttons down
the left side, in reversible nubbly ma
terial, black outside and green inside.
The knitted vest is of matching en-
erald green, and there is a scarf that

ing waistlines back to normal had been
accomplished or IL months ago.
Longer skirts were no longer a novelty.
The really significant thing that had
to be done was to make sleeves more
interesting and more individual.
And the significant thing is not that
dressmakers have created a variety of
picturesque sleeves-they would have
been willing to do that some time ago
II we had given them the slightest en-
couragement. What really counts is
that We are all of us ready and eager
to wear them.
One French fashion reviewer speaks
OF the return Of two old-time elegances
and then refers to picturesque sleeves
and brides" Brides, you know. are
the same thing as snoods. and snoods
are no more nor less than the ribbon
bands about the hair that added so
much to the picturesque quality of
fashions in the eighteenth century.
There are charming little velvet toques
for evening wear. Made with bands Of
thts sort consisting of roses in two
colors for all the world like the hats
that the eighteenth century Vatican
liked to paint.

PARIS, october 3.
-FOUR openings each year no longer
are enough for 1.-THE designers.
Patou recently showed for the first time
a whole new series Of fur scarfS, or
pelerines or wraps, whichever you prefer
to call them. For they are really a
cross between Scarfs and wraps, that
duceS SUCH a flutter. All of the new
models nave one thing in common,
whether they be made CT ermine,
breitSchwanZ. or Persian lamb. They
all have a narrow little collar which
wraps closely around the throat and will
be really warm when icy winds blow.
Most of the collars are straight bands
fastened on the side with two or three
fur-covered buttons.
The rest CT the fur piece may be a
straight piece that descends from this
collar band straight down the center
back and is held in place by the belt
of the coat or suit-they are designed
to be worn with both-or 1t may go
down the front instead, in which case
it is supple enough to drape like ma
terial. but still slips under the belt CT
the garment which it adornS.
A different version Of this front plas-
iron effect fastens at the center front
with the collar band arranged SO that
III may IuI JdSh Inc Gllt NIliBo Va q
mans dress collar. and there is single
rever jutting out from the right hand
side of the perfectly straight front.
Another variation, in caroub Persian
lamb, has the collar band fastening with
a little made bow at the center front
and descends around the shoulders in
a very shallow pelerine with the back
piece descending to slip under the belt.
One of the knowing milliners to whom
the really fashion-wise women about
town are going is Grely Dabija. She
is just beginning her new collection and
was kind enough to show us new de-
signs and hats now being made which
have not yet been shown. She believes
very firmly in the shallow-cr Wned hat
with the narrow brim, dipping over one
eye and showing the hair on the OPP
poSite side, but she feels that the ex-
treme Empress Eugene hat with its
trailing feathers is a thing of the past
for women who pretend to any chic.
Beneath the narrow brims of her

models she approves Of ruches Of ribbon
in the back, giving that pleasantly up
tilted effect. One hat, in black taupe
felt, is to have five rows of these ruches
across the back in ruby-colored ribbon,
with picot edge.
Toques also she sees as exceedingly
smart, particularly when the fullness
which might cover the other side of the
head is gathered into a tie Of some
quite different material and color as in
a hat of green velvet tied with e5rp
of white breitschwanz. She is COM
plotting these hats with the severest OF
little scarfs, often of the fur and always
OF the trimming material. which slip
through slot at the center front and
extend even with the ears.
Grely Dabiia believes that there is
going to be a great rage for fur material
and even for the nubbly woolens that
look like caracul when they are dyed
in colors which never can be found in
furs and so cannot look like limitations
She prefers tones like burnt Grange or
emerald green, designs to be the accent
ing note OF certain costume.
An attractive modified derby had a
brim that rolled up little more at the
left side than at the right and had its
band of narrow velvet ribbon tied in a
rectly in the back, but extending only
to the height If the crown. was an
orange and brown ostrich feather like
tiny, stih interrogation point. Rather
stiff feather fancies. chicken and
pheasant feathers are her favorites for

Another original ensemble is in plaid

built bit on the Scotch cap idea some

Not only are the FS!, race meetings

over the sleeves with a lace stitch over
the knuckles and again at the wrist,

colors at tea time They have been

Kerosene is indispensable at cleaning

poured over the surface and left there

the trimmings are of self-color in
cleaning kid.
Alligator is a good deal used as a
trimming kid on the new shoes. and
most attractive combinations are made
with it. 1t is used for tips at the toes
and for the heels of some very smart
black suede shoes.
Some of the new shoes have Colonial
buckles of leather to match the shoe,
set on with ribbon and with a self
colored buckle. These shoes often come
in bronze as well as in black and the
more usual colors.
