SMART BLOUSES IN FLANNEL

All White or With Striped Colorings They Are to Be a Rival of the Sweater. Many of the smartest of the new fall blouses show panel arrangements, either back or front, and some of them have both back and front panels. In the range of strictly tailored blouses now being brought out for fall some very smart flannel models are being shown. Flannel blouses have always been rather highly regarded for sports wear, but they were rarely seen last year, manufacturers reporting that fabrics were too difficult to secure. All-white blouses are featured, but those made of white flannel striped in dainty pastel cetorings are decidedly the best looking. The flannel blouse trimmed with collar and cuffs, and sometimes pocket flaps of angora in a color to match the stripe in the flannel is a smart novelty, and for golf or other sports wear promises to be a rival of the sweater.
