For georgette slip-overs, small patterns pat-terns in brilliant bead embroidery are so effective that nothing has supplanted supplant-ed them for, decorative purposes. Bright colors, as emerald green, blue, gold and rose, are chosen for many of the blouses with papillitis. They hang fairly straight and are belted in. Their ,lines and headword are reminiscent, of American Indian nrt and they continue to be at once eii.iple and very dressy. With a blouse of this kind and a silk or satin skirt, one may dress up to the requirements of almost any wartime function.
