MAY BE PLAIN OR FLASHY

Wide Variation Allowed in Blouses Designed for Wear During the Extremely Hot Weather. The blouses which the summer girl will select for golf, tennis, boating and the like may be of plain linen or madras, or may run to striped designs, of which the most popular are the broad canopy patterns or the candystriped effects. In fact, many of the blazer stripes are reproduced for shirtwaist models. The silk gowns are the plainest. Net or lace is used about the neck, and often in a convenient guimpe that is detachable and washable. Crepe and taffeta are combined in some of the best models for midsummer. One particularly charming outfit has a skirt of white crepe with allover roses, with a deep hem of white taffeta finished with cords. The bodice is of crepe, but has a panel front of taffeta. On the back of the blouse Is a high-standing, turnover collar, with a strap of taffeta at the base, fastened with a cameo.
