white satin and Is equally good with
black or brown. Robins egg blue is
strongly featured for costume blouses.
1t is a youthful choice for the black
or green suit and we have found some
adorable ones in the local shops.
When the season begins to set its
pace and afternoon engagements are
once more important considerations,
cire laces and metallics will add still
more interest and elegance to the
blouse story. OF course, the first
blouse considerations are more modest
the sports shirt Of crepe, challis
and the bright plaids that the younger
set will wear-but as these are so
prominently displayed at the moment,
we shall tell you about the dressier
types of blouses.
A MONG the preferred white satins,
overblouses take first place, and
include belted hip-length styles, pep
lum, waistcoats and fitted waist
band types. Blouses with hand fin
ished details at the neckline are
much liked. For instance, wide strip
ing, fagotted together, forming mar
row vest panel with a row of tiny
satin bows through the center is a
conservative design that looks well
with the coat thrown open. Then
there is the swing tunic with small
collar and belt trimmed in stitching
and buttons Of shiny black jet. The
sleeves of this one are interesting.
They are three-quarter length, full
at the shoulder and shirred on the
elbow giving o graceful drape.
In black satin there Is a plain
tailored tunic cut away at the front
below the waistline and colsely-but-
toned above with small jet buttons.
This unbelted princess model with top
sleeve fullness could be smartly COM
bined with q black cloth skirt, serv-
ing as q first Fall dress. OF course,
the long tunic blouse Is less adaptable
to wear with the suit on account Of
it's extreme length, but is an admirable
method of concocting q new dress In
hurry by using skirt that you
may already have on hand.
Black cire satin makes q nice short
blouse with open neck and an at
tached-collar scarf. The only fasten-
ing is a couple of carved green jade
buttons at the waistline, so that tho
front can be arranged to suit the in
dividual taste
ONE Of the high spots Of the blouse
collections is q black cire satin
with small painted squares of silver
and green. Silver kid binds the edge
of the neck and lapels, which are held
together at the front with two large
green balls linked through two but
tonholes. Shirring at the shoulders
and center front Just above the nat
ural waistline are further details Of
this unusual model with swathed
waistband effect.
For q blouse to wear with the ankle
length skirt Of black chiffon velvet,
there is a lovely black cire lace affair.
1t is cut on basque lines, closely mould
ing the figure, and has long sleeves.
The collar continues as a frilly jab0t
down the front and through it sparkle
small rhinestone buttons. The lower
edge curves up at the front and is also
finished with little lace peplum.
This is going to be q great season
for all sorts of fascinating little bro.
caded and metal cloth jackets to weal
over simple afternoon dresses and tc

new-looking dinner gowns. Some o1
these you will find In the blouse de-
