FOR THE 
COLONEL?S 
HE AID. Yue 
Blouses for Work and Play. 
HE tailored blouse has come into 
its Own again, and is fascinating 
as well as practical with its new fea- 
tures of ingenuity and clever, distinc- 
tive touches. They are seen in the 
new taffetas, washable satin, challis, 
and the ever favored stand-by, crepe 
de chine. Georgette crepe is still in 
favor, especially when combined with 
other materials. The best shades are 
Castle red, coral, peach, mais, and the 
suit shades. Plaids, oftentimes clev- 
erly softened by chiffon or Georgette 
crepe are very smart and practical. 
For practicality the simple, tailor- 
ed plaid blouse in taffeta has no rival, 
but for originality it should be com- 
bined with another material. Georg- 
ette crepe lends itself well to this 
treatment; and one of the smartest 
blouses of the season has plaid taffeta 
used in a jumper effect with the 
shoulders and long, full sleeves of 
the Georgette. This waist has a high, 
standing back collar. Another good- 
looking tailored blouse is white, and 
bas a very high choker with stiffened, 
pointed plaid tabs. Plaid cuffs carry 
out the scheme. 
Georgette crepe is also used alone 
for tailored blouses with excellent re- 
sults. A model that was the acme 
of simplicity was shirred across the 
shoulders, and had a high, shirred 
collar with a full, picot-edged ruffle 
around the top. The sleeves also 
were shirred about the wrist and fin- 
ished with a ruffle corresponding to 
that used on the collar. As there was 
no trimming used all the decorative 
value of the blouse was in line and 
color. It was especially pretty in 
Castle red and peach. Another good 
style made entirely of Georgette had 
collar, vest, and sleeves of dark blue 
and body of plaid. 
Choker Not Absolutely Necessary 
T IS quite refreshing to find that 
one is not actually compelled by 
Dame Fashion’s dictate to wear a 
choker. There are many charming 
blouses of the more dressy type that 
have low collars or collars that are 
high only in back. The new laces 
wake charming theatre blouses and 
wear very well. Georgette and chif- 
fon are used as well as other, more 
durable materials. One of the Bos- 
ton shops has been showing a very 
beautiful creation of gold lace over 
pink +satin: and@aeus hei sleeves: 
which are, of course, long, are espe- 
cially graceful; and the collar may be 
worn high or low. Another inter- 
esting type of blouse revives the 
fichus, which were so popular a year 
or two ago, and the wide plaited 
frills, which some of ‘the~ surnmer 
blouses showed. A waist of lemon 
colored Georgette with wide, plaited 
revers, standing collar and wrist ruf- 
fles all hemstitched with black was 
quite striking. Castle red was charm- 
ingly combined with gray in one of 
the prettiest of this year’s blouses. 
The body was of red,-box plaited on- 
te“anyoke. = The red of the: vest-and 
collar was veiled with grey, deftly 
embroidered with a touch of red. 
The collar was a naive, round affair 
edged with fur. The entire blouse 
was of chiffon cloth. 
The Home Dress. 
THERE are a number of charming, 
little models being shown this 
year that make just the right frocks 
for the afternoon tea or bridge party, 
for a family dinner, or for the “at 
home.” They are of types too wide- 
ly differing to admit of extensive de- 
scription here, but a hint will do for 
the clever woman, who likes to ex- 
press her own individuality in her 
gowns. 
First, there is the material to be 
considered. Velvet is far and away 
the most elegant, but taffeta is a close 
second in milady’s favor because it 
is not only less expensive to buy, but 
wears well and may be made up suc- 
cessfully by the less expensive dress- 
naker or by the amateur. Chiffon 
and Georgette crepe are combined 
with both the velvet and the taffeta 
‘tc smarten the dress, and fur trim- 
ming is seen. Good French serge 1s 
always smart for the tailor-made. 
The next consideration is the color. 
African brown, dark green, purple, 
and navy blue seem to be in the lead 
for the conservative frock, while the 
beautiful, vivid shades obtain in the 
more daring type. - For the woman, 
whose wardrobe is not unlimited 
there can be no better choice than 
tiavy blue or green. 
every woman’s color, and the woman 
who cannot wear the green that is 
so fashionable this season is the ex- 
ception rather than the rule. 
Navy blue is 
AS to Style of Making. oat 
S TO the style of making,—who 
shall say? Choose only what is 
becoming and the rest will take care 
of itself. These little gowns have 
high collars that are very smart, and 
they have low collars that are very 
youthful and becoming. They have 
full skirts that are gathered or plaited 
to the waist band, but then, too, some 
of the newer models have narrower 
skirts that are puffed and draped in 
quaint, demure ways. 
this year the modish sleeves provide 
a note of chicness that the otherwise 
unassuming little garment would lack. 
Full sleeves with ruffles falling well 
over the hand is the rule, and many 
touches of gold or silver ribbon ap-— 
pear at the wrist. A vest may add 
the desired touch of distinction to 2 
dress; or a jumpet of another mia- 
terial.
