SPRING FASHIONS IN ODD SKIRTS AND BLOUSES

.HK complete eclipse with which

it la prophesied every season by knowing; ones the perennial blouse la threatened seems

J further removed than ever this season. Instead of falling Into

disrepute before the onslaught of the onepiece town the winter season has seen It flash Into tinseled eminence araln, and never have the shops offered a greater variety of these Indispensable separate blouses than the spring; showing" Includes. One may And them In every form and fabric, from the simple morning; affairs of pique or lawn, to the lace and embroidered and chlffon-velled satin - ones. .The lingerie styles show a greater amount of hand work than ever before. Many of the tailored effects have detachable collars and cuffs of linen with English embroidery done In white or colors. Blouses made of ninon are especially favored for wear with the plainer street suits. But It Is the more elaborate blouses that have undergone the greatest transformation. A blouse unveiled by chiffon or net or lace and without a touch of gold or silver is scarcely to be found tn the hops. From the bit of tinsel In the trimming or about the neck has developed the blouse made entirely of gold net veil

ed with some transparent stuff. For the

gold net Is sometimes subtituted brocade, which Is veiled with net or chiffon

the color of the costume. One model was

of flowered brocade- completely covered with row after row of fine Valenciennes

lace Joined with gold thread.

A plain gold foundation blouse may

have several chiffon slips that can be? slipped over it, thus making it do service' for more than one suit. These chiffon'

over-blouses will undoubtedly be much worn with the spring suits. Most attractive waists are being made up from tussah silks which have cashmere printed borders. One model employed a deep gold shade of the tussah silk with a border of Persian design. This border crossed the front and back and sleeves of waist at the bust line, the remainder of the blouse being veiled with black chiffon of so sheer a quality that It did not obscure the fabric beneath. A rolling collar .of black silk and small turn back cuffs Imparted a youthful air to this chic blouse. With it, as with many of the new waists being: put out. was provided a straight belt of black patent

leather with a gold buckle. In passing

it may be said that the restoration of the

waist line has brought belts of every description Into favor again. Suits are being shown with which are supplied two patent leather belts the coat belt and

the usual skirt belt

A blouse in a delightful shade of green' Is of a coarse mesh net mounted overi chiffon of the same shade, which Is all lined with satin in the same color. Aj peculiar but attractive color scheme wasj

attained by the use of a clever shade of purple for the moussellne yoke, standing

collar, lower sleeves and tucked waistcoat. Two oblong revers of black satin, and a soft crushed belt of the satin added a distinctive touch.

Grey shades were used in a simple little blouse for wear with a tailored suit ofj grey serge. The yoke and sleeves of chif-f

ton, matching the net of the waist, were tucked in line tucks headed with a silver thread. The net across the bust was embroidered in coarse gray silk, combined with a soft shade of yellow with a stiver thread running through it, which gave a very rl-:h effect. The side closing continues to be a popular feature of the blouse for every day wear. This is sometimes fastened simply

with tailored buttons, but more often!

cloees with a frill of silk or net. A model la marine blue ribbed silk which fastened to one side had a frill of plaited net In the same shade upon the edge of which waa stitched a bias fold about a half

an inch wide of plaid taffeta. A fold of the plaid silk completed the standing collar and formed also a wide crush girdle.

The yoke of this blouse was laid in deep

horizontal tucks, from shoulder to shoul

der, while two bias straps extended from the belt up over the shoulders and into

the belt at the back.

Bands of broadcloth elaborately braided

with black soutache formed the striking trimming of a dark blue chiffon cloth

blouse. The small round yoke and stand

Ing collar were of allover lace finished

at the edge with a cording of black silk.

and In the front with a straight black velvet bow. The bands were put on over the shoulder seams and extended the; length of the short cap over the top of the sleeve. There was also a band down

the front of the braided broadcloth, with squares of this trimming over the bust. Hand embroidery, or some of the clever Imitations thereof, and Irish and Val. lacts dominate the lingerie models. An yet the bishop sleeve is seen on most of the waists, but there la little doubt that the short sleeve Is on its way to ua again, to the delight of the plump and tho dejection of the scrawny. A favorite style In the tailored waists has four box plaits on each side with tho central one twice the width of the sido plaits. Many of these have also stitched straps over the shoulder seams. In epaulet fashion. The sleeve3 are plaited tht, entire length from the shoulder down to the three-Inch stiffened cuff. The separate skirts are to be found in every variety of the tunic or oversklrt Btyle as well as in tho plainer pleated models. Plain material predominate, but grey mixtures and two-tone stripes aa well as shepard checks are shown In attractive models. A decided novelty. Introducing a striking black and white stripe effect han the panels of black serge overlapping the tops cf box pleats of the diagonally striped material set on Just below the knee. Tho effect produced Is of a slashed over-skirt. The new skirts all show a return to the normal waist line which Is indeed tho marked tendency of all gowno and suits. Trimming consists usually of clothcovered buttono on the plainly tailored skirts, while with tho tunic effects no trlmmlnc at all ia used.

Playing the Merchandise game to win. With Cash Buying and Cash Selling as our slogan, we have fought the game hard for the last 10 years. Every week we have told you through the papers what we were doing, that we were trying to be the people's money saving store, and WE HAVE MADE GOOD. Yet after all of this, it rather jars our commercial pride to learn that there are still some people in this community who never heard of the Hoosier Store. We have learned this, that veneration for age does not apply to business. In fact the old merchant is in danger of becoming a back number unless born with the instinct of "push," and wise enough to keep infusing new blood into his business organization. We are constantly watching our business, keeping our methods with the conditions. There are no two years alike. This is one of high prices; this is a year that tries the Hoosier's organization. WE MUST HAVE LOW PRICES. We must scour the markets. Ve must buy a good stock now and then at half its real value. We will be prepared. Try us out and we will assure you that we will MAKE GOOD.
