CLEVER IDEAS FOR BLOUSES

Delicate Net Waist and Corset Cover Are to Be Fastened to the Bame Belt. A clever New York designer has made use of a French idea in devising blouses of French net, known as tulle or blonde and other extremely sheer fabrics. By themselves, as every woman knows, net waists are so delicate that the wearing of them is a somewhdt trying and uncertain proceeding. It 1b practically Impossible .to anchor them securely in any one position. And there can be no such quality as “fit” because of the necessity of having them large in order to keep them from breaking out. This New York designer has got around these objections by putting a corset cover of lace, embroidery and ribbons inside the net waist and fastening both corset cover and waist to the same belt. The ribbons can be run in and taken out at will and the combination corset cover and blouse easily laundered in one piece. These blouses are a distinct novelty and quite an inexpensive one.' Another model by the same designer is in white cotton crepe with a regular Montenegrin jacket, also of the crepe, but with a Persian border. The coloring is repeated in the buttons and the bow at the neck.
