Amer- .ninpt this blouse, but they t.___‘ vary it more than does the French woman. We adopt more formal types because we wear tailored suits in the afternoon, evento places of gayety. when by removing the Jack- et we display the kind of over-blouse that aids the skirt in becoming a costume. This fashion is an eco- nomical one. It saves us the ex- pense of s. suit for the street plus a frock tor under-the-root occasions. Also it saves us from being exhaust- ed by the heat of our houses. The Europeans are not troubled in this respect. The formal blouse continues to i and comfortable way. Long sleeves have turnover ends with link but- tons when the blouse is for strict street wear or for sports. One at the new‘tricits on the sleeves of fosh mu blouses is to adopt the handkero chief idea by twisting a narrow scarf of the fabric around the wrist and tying it into two handkerchief ends. This fashion originated with Vionnet of Paris this autumn and is not genemly known. The L‘envin overblouse of pliable silver cloth goes on its path undis- turbed by rivals.

Russian em idery done by applying tiny pieces of colored cloth or velvet to the surface with metal- lic threads, are methods of om— mentstion that are approved.

Sturdy fabrics. such as broad- cloth and velvet have come into their own strain for blouses. They are worn with tailored suits by _ those who dread the cold; they are placed under _\- coats and above separate skirt by those who (is. light in variety. Both of these fabrics are reduced to their least weight and are rich sisters of the sturdy weaves of other days. Broad- cloth is not limited to overblouses. It is turned into smart separate skirts for street and for sports. Flat crepe do chine. however, has lost none 0: its prestige for blouses. I 4“ [.LLA.“ .L- sharply pointed elhow sleeves.

The acceptance of the Cambodian silhouette with its stiffened inserts over the hips has brought about the wearing of loose tunics girdled a trifle below the waistline. The material below is pulled into R‘ndet effect at each side. W'omen like this contour as a change from the over- popular hipband.

They are often of brocade with metal threads. They can he used as hem. neck' and wrist decoration for the blouse. If so. do not repeat them in the girdle. Contrast metal braid with them. As girdles are omitted from long and shortcoats. also one- piece frocks. the woman who likes them has her sole chance on a blouse. Gliding Refined Cloth.
