Summer Bodices And Blouses

"Fashionable dressmakers are now making the English' dlstlnctlon between the blouse (which -vo usually .cali the Bhirt-Avaist) and tlie bodiee," wrltee Isabel A. Mallom in April !Ladies' Home Journal. "Both are supposed to bc worn -svith skirts that illfier irom them in color and ruateri 1, Uut the blouse 1s full. is draped. has a tucked or fnncy front, wlth stiff collar and cuffs, and always suggests a rather undress get up. The bodiee fits tlie figure, and though it may be made of cotton, eilk or velvet, it must never euggest, by its trimming or etyle óf collar, the tallor made or shirt effect. Unlike the blouse it is very often sufíiciently elabórate to be Iworn wlth the richest skirt, and the ♦trimming upon it may be ribbons, spangles, laces, íeather or fur pipings. and all the very open embroidery that imitates Irish crochet. Hiowever. it is the blouse that ■wlll bO given the greatest popularity during the coming geason."
