Each Prettier Than the Laft- II Pale Ecru or Amber Replaces Flesh Tint In J Favor - Foulard and Silk Gingham I Added To Blouse Materials IT "WOULD tako a wholo page, column after column, to dcscrlbo all the blouse styles o this season and a good many blouses would havo to bo left out, at that. So a .fow of the most favored styles have been selected for Illustration and description, descrip-tion, each stylo representing ono of 5k the dominant blouse modes of mid-j mid-j summer. There are already whispers ; of fall blouses, but nobody is wearing: B them yet. It may bo related however that colors have been determined and the new blouse shades for autumn will ! do ecru, taupe, silver, castor, seal, evergreen, pruno and a soft, dull blue appropriately called old china. 1 , Ecru The Shndo Of Shades Pale ecru or amber as it is callod or Fashion, is tho exclusivo tint for sheer shirtwaists just now. Those ; ember blouses aro of chiffon, of ,rgctto and of fino batiste, trimmed - jWb met in the identical tint of tho wouso material; and not until one has ayed to match pale ecru batisto or cnirton in self-toned lace does It appear ap-pear how many different shades of tcru- there arc on tho market. The ' !SV ?r,ation oC tlnt wIU sPn 0 mushed blouso completely, but when Jamming and material aro in exactly jne same tone tho result is exceedingly exceeding-ly distinguished. A very handsome Jouao of amber batisto and filet is Pictured. Tho lines, you sec, aro per-ectly per-ectly simple and it is tho contrast of " materials, combined with tho onc-tono onc-tono color effect, that gives tho model an exclusivo distinction. Fullness is added at tho shoulder by plntucks, iout running to tho bust and four expending ex-pending all tho way down, at oither I!?uf the broad strlPs of ,niot lace f i? tHm th0 fronts of tho blouso. I Aflcao fronts cross slightly in surpllco effect at tho waistline and tho scal-oped scal-oped edges of the laco turn back with Jo collar which Is another strip of "o "lot, attached straight across tho tit 0t the ncck and tho "PPer edges i f the filet strips that form tho front cobcs. Tho scalloped edge of tho laco I jnns tho finish across tho collar's ongor side, and narrow fllet edging i s sewed to tho ends. Fllet medallions , r appliqued tp thc straight. cufg nich fasten with loops ovor crochet uttons. Tui-ned Down Cuffs Aro Grnccful Another batisto and fllet blouso, In ; Wre whito this time, has tho now ' HirDCd down cuff3 which droP sraco- "I 3' over the hand. Fullness is added o this blouse by small tucks and pin I ..Hi . arranEred In groups, and tho ? "CKIng ovtonds all tho way down tho ! wcevc as well as down tho fronts of tho blouso from shoulder to bust. This blouso does not lap at the front opening; tho two edges meet over a concealed flap and aro fastened with twin buttons joined by short cords. Similar buttons hold thc cuffs tqgeth-er, tqgeth-er, dainty buttonholes being worked In tho edgo of each cuff near Its top, and In tho blouse-fronts. Collar and cuffs arc of fllet with hem of batiste. Thc manner in which thc flet has been appliqued to tho batiste hem.-and tho batiste clipped out underneath to show tho delicate laco edgo of scalloping, scal-loping, shows tho distinction of this model. No cheap blouso would havo this amount of fine needlework. Thc Blouse May Fasten Anywhcro Or Nowhere Only a fow of thc summer blouses fasten down the front. Tho slipover models aro by far tho favorites; but there are blouses that button in the back, and other models that button on tho shouldor. When there Is a front opening it Is apt to be disguised dis-guised in ono way or another oxcopt In tho tailored sport models which have obvious buttons and buttonholes Iiko a masculino shirt. Slipover blouses aro in high favor with tho younger women, who can wear the flat, rounded neck openings successfully. Theso collarless waists aro apt to be trying on older nocks which domand a V front opening with collar rising at the back, or a soft collar with knotted tie. Tho plain, rounded out nock opening is adorable on young girls but tho older woman wbely avoids it Slipovers of this round-neck typo aro pintucked across front and back and tho round neck is finished with a cording or a fiat piping of tho material. Sometimes tho piping pip-ing continues to tho armholo at either sido and the blouse is buttoned together to-gether along tho shouldor. Many young women aro wearing sllpovor waists of this typo, mado of pastel colored batisto or organdy, with gingham ging-ham skirts this summer. For instance, ono protty young girl among tho onlookers on-lookers at a big tennis match tho other day woro a slipover blouse of lavendor organdy with a skirt of plaid gingham in lavondcr and white. Tho skirt had a sash of solf material, tied in a bow and strcamors at tho back of thc waistline. A sailor hat of violet straw went with tho costumo; pumps and silk stockings were whito. Foulnrd Blouses With White Frills With a foulard sport skirt one wears a whito blouso: with a whito satin sport skirt one's blouso is likoly to bo foulard thus tho Inconsistencies of A-Blouse of? Plaids arxd SViPrpes ori ot t rsrnca ard Lace Tailored Waists of Yfash. 'Satin this summer. Tho now foulard and silk gingharii blouses aro colorful affairs af-fairs but Invariably there Is a reliev ing note of white in collar and cuffs and sometimes In chemisette or vest, A pretty foulard blouso in red and white is pictured. Tho shade is cherry red. and a cherry colored ribbon bow finishes the nock opening. This blouse, j also is pleated at the shoulders for soft fullness is demanded in all blouso wear this season and tho fronts open to show a crisp chemisette of organdy trimmed .with delightful little frills. Frills run all around tho collar and cuffs too; not pleated, but fluted frills which an expert laundress can handlo beautifully with an old-fashioned fluting flut-ing iron. There aro silk gingham blouses also, trimmed with theso crisp frilled accessories; and now that silk gingham costs almost as much as ono used to pay for bridal satin by tho yard, It seems as though a gingham blouso might show Itself anywhore. And indeod it usually does! Tho cotton cot-ton ginghams aro seldom mado Into blouses but sometimes they aro used to trim white blouses. Such a model Ls Illustrated. The gingham collar and cuffs aro in yellow and whito check and tho cravat whloh ties tho odd collar col-lar up around tho throat ls yellow also. Tho blouso is of soft whito linen and has the very smart doublo breasted breast-ed front-opening with thrco groups ! of buttons far down toward the belt-line. belt-line. The bias cuffs flare out from the wrist nnrl Vinvn n rtlffpronf lclnrl nf hnt- ton trimming. Tho odd looking collar ls not so odd after all, whon you come to study It. It is an ordinary, straight gingham collar which turns back with tho blouse fronts if desired, the notchod shapo of tho fronts where the collar ls attached giving a lapel effect. Or -the collar may bo tied up around tho throat with a short cravat In thc effect pictured a whim of tho 191S summer maid. Another closc-up collar and crisp Uttlo cravat arc to bo noted on tho tucked blouso of white wash satin, which Is all It should be In tailored correctness. Collar and trim buttoned cuffs arc hemstitched for extra daintiness, dainti-ness, and groups of pin tucks crossing tho blouso in both directions givo a novel plaid suggestion. A blouso of - I white satin, mado liko this ono, has tho pin tucks stitched In blue; tho buttons are looped with blue cord, and I thc smart little cravat is of blue molro. 8 Eton And MJddy Blouses For Vacation " ji Wear Tho white linen blouso with boyish eton collar and neckbow ls a favored model with younger women this sum- r mer. Ono sees It on thc tennis court, on tho golf links, In rowboats and 1 canoes wherover youth is to bo found ' at play. It has almost though not 'i quite usurped tho placo of thc glorl- j ously comfortable middy which Is, aft- ' er all, the ideal play-blouso for summer sum-mer tlmo. Now middles aro of whito galatca with collar and cuffs of applo groen linen. Green is tho smart color col-or for trimming a middy this season, ' and next to green, tan.
