CHIC NEW SWEATER BLOUSE

Garment Devised With Purpose of Conserving Wool, but Without Giving Up Good Points. An extremely serviceable and jaunty garment is the new combination sweater blouse, devised by some one who wanted to conserve wool without giving up the good points of the sweater. A blouse of some gay striped silk is first made according to tr pattern that opens down the front with fronts that fold back and join in a wide sailor col-" jar. But the sailor collar is not made "of the’ silk.” instead, it is made of wool of some color that-goes- well-with-the-strikes in the silk, as are wide cuffs for the sleeves and a foot wide hip section that forms a tight-fitting peplum for the blouse. TO put it on it is. simply pulled over the head. It is charming to wear with the walking suit skirt, and the wool is placed just where the additional warmth under , the suit ceht teAght be vawst weleome of frosty mornings. •
