The fall styles, featured in midseason collections, included a number of tail- leurs with some brand new notions in this category. This is indeed the time to start haunting- the blouse departments. Begin, of course, by looking for a blouse that will transform last spring's navy or black or gray suit. Pick something that looks not at all like the blouses you wore with the suit last season. For example, you might consider at least one blouse in a shade that matches exactly the color of the suit.

Nothing could be smarter, or look newer, than a black satin blouse with a black suit, a navy one with a dark blue, or gray with a suit of the same color. The newest blouses are more akin to dress tops than to ordinary blouses. They either tuck in the skirt or else belong to the tunic variety, fitting smoothly over the hips. Sleeves are either short or long, (there are some women who do not look their best in long sleeves) and necklines continue to be worn high, although with a great deal more softness. The "bloused" blouse, i.

pouched all around the waistline, which Piguet launched in the spring, promises to continue its vogue well on into the coming season. These are particularly becoming to slim hipless figures. Very dressy blouses usually combine chiffon and fine chantilly or satin. The style is much more intricate, with the lace encrustations forming Louis XV bows or other motifs. Bows, and loops by the way, are coming in with the fall season.

Maggy Rouff trims the neckband of a slim black silk crepe tunic blouse with two large and wide loops of black satin ribbon knotted on one side, while Mainbocher finishes a bright royal blue satin ribbon blouse with an amusing little corolla collar, in front only, and wide twin loops which almost cover the bosom.

over the coat, idea. Many of the more formal blouses offer the added advantage of doing double duty in the guise of informal dinner dresses, with the addition of a simple but well-cut skirt in satin or crepe qr, later on in the season, In velvet. This skirt can be of the same color as the blouse or in black. Lame chiffon, which is ultra thin and supple, makes a stunning evening blouse or, rather, an informal evening dress, when combined with a slender black silk jersey skirt. Bruyere showed one in her mid-season collection which was most attractive.

The blouse in dull gold lame was very full, with a deep rounded yoke worked in the tiniest sunray pintucks. The fullness "bloused" all around the waistline and the long full and pouched sleeves were caught in at the wrist. This Idea could be expressed in a silver and blue lame blouse combined with a midnight blue satin skirt, or in a number of other combinations, preserving the idea of lame for the blouse, The vogue for strapless evening gowns continues with the best designers making them, in a variety of rich fabrics for falL These two are especially dramatic. white creation, left, of glistening taffeta is quilted all over with strands of elastic.

Fortunately her work usually mands the strictest attention sc there isn't much time for self-con sciousness. But there will be menta when she feels as uncomfon able as a fish out of water--momen when her ignorance about the rou tine the other workers take so casua ly will get her down--and times whe she thinks she would gladly swa places with anyone in the office wh isn't "new." The only way for her to overcom those feelings is to concentrate on th work harder than ever--and learn a much as she can, as quickly as pos sible. She isn't expected to walk into new place knowing her job feeling as much at home as though she were a senior partner. In fact that kind of attitude actual ly works against a newcomer.

By Alicia Hart At about this time In the summer season the eyes of the majority of women begin to show unflattering results of too much sunshine, quantities of dust and lack of adequate rest and sleep, due to the hot weather.

Also to resolve to learn to let your eyes rest once you get into bed--whether you can go to sleep.or not--and to be more considerate of during the day. For instance, on a very hot night, it might be a good idea to go to bed with cotton pads that have wrung out In cold eye on your eyes. Leave them on until you know that you are about to asleep.
