WAISTS WITH NEW TOUCHES

Washable Crepe de Chine, Heavy China Bllk and White Madras Are Favorite Materials. Among strictly tailored waists those mannish shirts with the soft turnedover collar and cuffs are popular. Usually they are made of washable crepe de chine, heavy china silk and madras tn white, and white with a colored stripe. Buttons of colored glass are very effective when they match the stripe of the silk. » In addition to the mannish silk waists that are worn with the strictly tailored suit the business woman will welcome those In challis, flannel and albatross. Many of these are made in the usual mannish style, with the front opening, and soft collar and cuffs, but there are very attractive models, slightly more elaborate and more feminine, with bits of hand embroidery, and fancy collar and cuffs of satin. As a rule, flannel Is used for the tailored waists, and pretty challis and colored albatross for the more elaborate models, but since all of them launder beautifully the light tones, need not be a bar to the usefulness of the blouse. On dark-hued waists there is always a touch of white at the neck, a frill or a yoke. The ground of the Scotch plaids used for some of these blouses fg usually a blu% brown, green or

black with the plaid picked out in vivid stripes of red, blue, green or yellow. Taupe, purple, old gold and kings* blue stripes appear in the newest plaids. /
