As Matter Os Formality Overblouse Displaces Tuck-in

VEW YORK. Sept. 7.—<U.R>—The first models that are appearing to sig- , f II blouse fas Wons place the overblouse in the leading position. In view 1111 he .ti"des which the acknowledged newer blouse style, the tuck-in, made ° f ' Vst spring and summer, there w some little concern as to what the thls n- of ffch , - v i’ e wo ‘ ,,d he for fall H would seem that b,o ««' manufac"who are giving their approval largely to the overblouses are returning tU 7” Zintious attitude they showed very early in the spring before they had

realized to what extent the tuck-in had become a favorite. The contention underlying the present gesture toward continuing lh e ov.-rldouse Is that, with the exception of satin and silk crepe, It is sheer velvet and metal cloths which are the outstanding fabrics for formal blouses. The feeling is general that these fabrics can not be admitted to the ways of the tuck-in blouse, which is unanimously considered strictly a “youthful and sports style,” and neither of the two fabrics under discussion is in this category. This reversion to Hhe overhlouse has all the appearance of a move to "play safe”, an inference drawn from the remark made by one manufacturer whose opinion is typical, that “large sizes can not be made to wear tuck-in blouses.” One remembers a similar comment at the inception of the overblouse or two-piece dress, the latter trailing along behind the one-piece dress for a long time before it was recognized generally. for the reason that “large sizes can not be made to wear two-piece dresses.” In devoting so much discussion to the overhlouse, it should not be understood that the tuck-in is.abandoned since it is seen in a large number of the suits shown by smart creators for fall. Proving the attitude that is so generally prevalent, they appear nearly always in sports suits, and are smart done in jersey. HONORS DAUGHTER WITH BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. Ed Miller entertained last evening at her home on Adams Street in honor of her daughter, Virginia, who celebrated her 14th birthday.
