The revival of the ornate dressy
blouse reflects the influence of the
gay nineties. See the model in the
upper left corner of the picture. In
creating this lady-type blouse for
dinner or cocktail hours Lanvin al
ternates bands of black silk geor-
gette and val lace finishing it off
with highland neck and turnover
collar.
The revival of the white blouse
with the dark suit is one of fash
ions top-most highlights. The Glib
son girl blouse pictured above to
the right is in white silk organdy
with ,lace-trimmed jabot coming
high at the neck. The bishop sleeve
with its lace-trimmed frill at the
wrists give this blouse the new look
that Is copied from the old.
For the be-frilled and lace edged,
tucked and finely hand-worked white
blouse now so fashionable, thin silks
such as silk organdy or silk triple
sheers that will wash well and keep
their whiteness are highly recon-
mended.
Perhaps the biggest sensation in
the present vogue is the white peas
ant blouse with full-to-the-wrist long
sleeves that gather into tight band
such as are worn with the very
new gypsy skirts fashioned of vivid
striped or plaid silk. For this blouse,
designers use washable white silk
chiffon or white silk organdy with
gratifying results.
In the color madness that has
gripped the world of fashion blouses
are playing dramatic role. Surah
silk is great favorite, printed or
plain, stressing chartreuse, fuchsia,
yellow gold, rust, violet, mustard
and citrus colorS.

Sing and Dance Honoring
Dead l. Celebes Custoa

Typical Of such dances in Celebes
Is the so-called ma'badong mbatine,
meaning literally to sing mourning
songs for the dead. In this dance,
writes Claire Holt in Asia Maya
zine, men form a circle and, while
chanting In solemn chorus words O.
lament or praise for the deceased.
slowly stretch and bend the knees,
occasionally making q step side
ways. One hand is laid on the
shoulder of the next dancer and
the other arm, bent at the elbow, ii
slowly brought forward and then
extended sideways to the rhythm al
the song. This dance is usually
executed in front of the house where
the corpse is lying and, later, also
at the place where the sacrifciai|
bulls are being slaughtered-for|
slaughtering of bulls is one Of the
most important features of all big
Toradja celebrations. The higher|
the rank of the person who died, the
greater the number of slaughtered
bulls.
Death festivities offer to the
younger people many opportunities
for developing their art of dancing!
and singing, since guests coming to|
the house of mourning have to be-
welcomed and entertained. Little
troupes of dancers specialize in|
such dance forms. For example,
there is the ma-marakka, sung and
danced by boys and girls, in two|
rows, to the accompaniment of two
long flutes, for the consolation of the
relatives of the departed one and
the entertainment of the guests
gathered at his house.

Bread Has Been Food Of
Man for Many Centuries

Have you ever wondered why we:
all eat bread-why we never seem
to get tired of it?
Bread has been the food of man
for thousands of years. Eating it
has become almost an instinct.
Why. the word bread" is used for
food" and has been for centuries.
When famine has been recorded, il
usually meant a shortage of wheat,
and, therefore, shortage of bread.
Wheat and bread could be consid-
cred the foundation of our life today
as well as its support. They have
caused both riots and reforms.
The earliest bread must have
been pretty horrible stuff as judged
by Twentieth century standards.
But by the end of the Eighteenth
century the people of England would
no longer think of eating black
bread made of rye, or ''horse
bread made from beans, for which
they had been only too thankful dur
ing the Middle ages, declares a
writer In London Answers Maya
zine.
In the Fourteenth century the
Turks hanged bakers for selling bad
bread, and nailed them by their
ears to doorposts if they sold loaves
under weight. In England, at the
same time, the crime of selling I'M
der weight was punished by pillory
or by the offender being dragged
around the streets on a hurdle
drawn by horse. In both cases
the wretched petty swindler was
pelted by the crowd.

Legend of the Sunfiower

A Greek legend tells of the origin
of the sunfower and why it is the
symbol of constancy and alteration.
"Clytie was a beautiful water
nymph of Hellas. One day she left
her home among the waves and
went to Olympus, where she saw
Apollo, the sun god, and fell in
love with him. Apollo, however,
was enamored of Calliope, the muse
of epic poetry, and paid no atten-
ton to Clytie. So she sat on the
ground gazing at the sun from the
minute it appeared until it dropped
beyond the horizon. For nine days
Clytie sat and pinned away, refusing
to return home. Finally her limbs
sank into the earth and became
roots, her body a slender stem,
and her beautiful face became q
flower resembling the sun and fol-
lowing its course all day long,"
