BOX COATS AND ETON SUITS

Garments Which Are Responsible for Bringing the Blouse Into New Prominence. Blouses have come into new prominence. The box coat and the Eton suit, both of which require a pretty blouse, have been largely responsible for the renewed interest in them. There is really little change irttfie form of blouses, but it is interesting to observe the materials employed and the methods of trimming. Voiles and taffetas are most in demand —voile being in the lead. The passing of filet lace is note worthy Some models trimmed with filet are selling, but no really smart blouse features it This good, substantial and practical lace was conspicuous as a garniture for the best. of blouses and neckwear for a long time: but fashion demands a change, so filet is supplanted by Irish and Valenciennes laces. Another reason for the supplanting of this favorite i« due to the fact that it is easily imitated. All its patterns have copied. ।
