INEW in tailored shirts is the candy
stripe in real silk. 1t is apt to
have rather bold stripes, such as half
inch coral with a group of smaller
black ones between, on white ground.
A finely tucked oval bosom adds q
smart touch as seen between the
lapels of tailored jacket. British
Lady" is the tailored offering of one
shop. These long-sleeved. action back
| and shoulder-yoke blouse, come in a
sanforiZed- water repellent
fabric that is very soft like challis.
The colors are dusty pastels and a
salt-and-pepper gray. There are three
choices of styles. They may be worn
with one Of those nice short mannish
plain colored ties, or with q scarf
tucked inside the collar, or with a
boutonniere or brooch as q collar
finish.
In another shop we found tailored
shirts in crush-resistant rough Bel
gian linen with a special tricky initial
feature. The small pearl buttons may
have little black centers with one
initial snapped into them. Sometimes
it is only the cuff buttons that are so
accented; sometimes the pockets, and
then again it is the row Of buttons at
the front closing. These shirts come
in an acetate fabric as well as in linen
and offer at least three different styles.
Attractive in q tailored blouse Is
the little number in powder blue
crepe with black enamel studs with
rhinestone chip centers. It also comes
in beige with brown studs and topaz
chips.
Going on to the blouse that en-
ployeS printed surface, you will find
some fascinating things being done
with pastel shantung this season.
Tiny figures on bicycles ride gayly
over fitted, two-pocket blouse with
sort sleeves and Chinese collar. The
| figures are SO cleverly designed that
you have to look twice to realize that
the two wheels really belong to q
bicycle and that the rest of the pattern
is a rider. Ricrac braid outlines all
the edges of this blouse producing
a nice novelty in the blouse family.

A MOTHER amusing print is the
yellow crepe with its pattern in
spired by the new 4-5-6-game. Little
clusters Of brown, green and red lines
suggest the piles of sticks, and the
numerals are scattered about. This
blouse has high round neck with a
vertical line Of brown shirring which
gives soft fullness at each side
Splendid to wear with the dark
Winter suit is an all-over flower print
with a. dark background that uses a
V-neckline and surplice closing with
draped fullness that is flattering to
both the extremely slender and the
heavier figure. In case of the slender
figure the neck closing may be brought
up higher and fastened with clip.
pennies from Heaven" is youthful
model using several colors Of coin
spots and silver coin buttons down the
front. The round neck and short
sleeves are finished with rolled and
whipped ruching of the same material.
| The two-way blouse is interesting
| in plain white or pastel crepe with
narrow. box-pleating outlining the
high round neck and slide-front clos
ing. It may be worn either high or
open, and looks equally well either
way. The chamois beige with brown
talon fastening trim Is good, and the
linen sports blouse with heart-shaped
buttons and embroidered flowers on
the pocket is a Tyrolean inspiration
that we shall enjoy for sports wear
| later on in the season.
! The pleated white chiffons and
sheers with trimming Of lace are
adorable for dressy afternoon wear.
Sketched is a particularly nice one
with its insertion banding and row of
fiat pearl buttons. Another one of
these softer blouses has pressed pleats
at the sides and q frilly double ruf1e
from collar to belt. The collar looks
chic with small pearl buttons placed
close together along the front edges,
to keep the corners from rolling up
and to make the collar stay put"
Lovely for changing . formal sven.
