After all, going about sans sleeve by day Is comparatively an Innovation, which, by the way, those who make their own dresses, loudly approve. The shops show sleeveless blouses which are pleated to the neckline and to a hlpband with a bit of embroidery on these bands or a colored binding, 'and And ready sale to top a separate skirt. This may be a wraparound, some other type or pleated, which carries out the ensemble.

White blouses have the call at the moment, and It has coma to be re garded as chlo to introduce a black touch, either a monogram or a bind Ing. In one Instance, a white crepe blouse with pleated Jabot, had a black edge about hall an Inch In width around collar, cuffa and en the jabot. Jabots occur at the side rather than the front of soma models, but only, of course, on such blouses as are not expected to be worn with a cost. The blouse which la a complement to the omnipresent suit must have Its jabot or other decoration at the centre front White flannel suits being of great importance just now. It is pertinent 10 not tnai some ultra smart anops sponsor a black waistcoat with these suits, certainly a striking effect.

The scheme may be further carried out by black gloves and shoes. The In troduction of jet buttons on white satlh vestees and blouses Is another fad, as is the use of black silk braid of various widths on white. Most of the godets and. vestees shown are quite "capable of misleading one to the belief that they are a complete waist instead of merely putting up a good front. Tiny the type one used to have on gloves, as well as still smaller ones of steel, play an amipressivs role on these tailored fronts, for nine out ot ten women want something plain just now, when they choose their neck wear or blouses.

-1 Enrlish broadcloth Is established as a popular blouse material, and fl annuel used- for so many smart things Just now la still quite la demand for blouses of the sports persuasion. Both plain and striped flannels are voted chic, especially for blouses.
