TO WEAR WITH SHEER WAIST

Matter of Underbody Is of Very Serious Moment Now That Warm weather Is at Hand. Among the latest models of blouses differing in color and material from the skirt is one of white tulle made after the style of a sailor blouse. The square collar is of fine Valenciennes lace. Worn beneath this is a lining made of moire ribbon. The ribbon la so arranged in front that it forms a plastron which shows above the decolletage of the blouse. The sleeves of unlined tulle are set in halfway down the arm and reach to the wrists. Beneath show the sleeves of the underblouse of fine Valenciennes. These fall over the hand and are tightened at the wrist by a band of moire ribbon. Elaborate underbodies are quite necessary now that.sheer materials are used so much. A very pretty one consists simply of wide ribbon, which is seemingly wound round the figure and terminates in a voluminous chou in the middle of the bust. This may well accompany blouses of unlined tulle or mousseline. Most of these indispensable accessories are only held by a shoulder ribbon of varying breadth, but for evening wear this ribbon disappears, leaving the shoulders quite bare.

It is most important to select carefully the ribbons which are used for this purpose. In such details one may be allowed great freedom if only it produces desirable results. Black velvet ribbons may give admirable results when employed with discretion.— Christian Science Monitor.
