If you are flat chested, try trim ming your waist across the front with several rows of lace, this will give : just a graceful effect. If your neck ! Is long and thin, fluffy lacy neck J wear will suit you, and you can wear I V necks Just as satisfactorily as a plump necked girl If the front open I lug Is not wide and they fit well round at the back. Sleeve and yoke ln one style will be more becoming to you than a set tn sleeve which marks a maybe rather bony shoulder. Also the new blouses which are gathered full right round the neck and have a smart high collar col-lar at the back For blouse materials materi-als you should choose the soft, fluffy sort of things In preference to rather severe stuffs which suit a more developed de-veloped figure, and remember that a touch of dark fur on a lace or chlf-' chlf-' ion blouse looks soft and dainty.
