A SKIRT AND A BLOUSE. 'There has been considerable effort this season to revive the separate skirt and that means, of course, a corresponding corres-ponding revival of the separate blouse. When you find the separate skirt in the shops you usually find it in that most delightful of the spring and summer sum-mer favorites, black pussy-willow taffeta, taf-feta, and more often than not, made with peplum or flounces. When you decide on a separate skirt of black taffeta, just go over to the blouse counter and luxuriate in the inexpensive inexpen-sive little dears of shadowy laces, sheer nets, and fine-as-hand-work machine ma-chine embroidery. Or if you prefer, when the sale season comes along, pick up some remnants of these very stuffs, make them into blouses, long sleeved for morning wean elbow sleeves for afternoon, and with j'our nifty little separate coat, a Panama or taffeta hat, a pair of buttoned boots and a pair of buttoned strap slippers, and a few of the little etceteras, you arc fitted for the summery occasions, wherever you want to go. So much for the magic of the black pussy-willow taffeta skirL SI ABILITY AND STYLE IN GLOVES. With short and long sleeves both in vogue, short and long gloves will come in handy. A multiplicity of gloves is never an extravagance since gloves like boots can be kept on the go until they are worn out.

Plain silk for plain clothes and embroidered silk for dressier wear is now the rule for the warmer weather. Indeed, these embroidered silk gloves have, been much the mode for winter dances; for with the increased in-creased activity of the modern dance, one is likely to be uncomfortable bundled bun-dled up in kid ones. Be sure the vogue has by no means diminished for the summer. 1. A VEST AND A BLOUSE IN ONE. Here is an imported French blouse, designed by Christianc and cut in a novel manner. The chief feature is the making of the waistcoat in one with the blouse.
