The rage that set in not so very long ago for the wearing of fleshcoloured , blouses has quite worn itself out, says - a Melbourne paper, and as the days become definitely more and more of the warmer temperature a marked preference for the white blouse is everywhere to be seen. There has never been a season when the blouse contributed so greatly to the costume, particularly if tho costume happens to be a tailored suit. Collars have risen to the supreme heights of decorativeness, and frills and jabots meandering over the front of the white blouse give it a crisp, fresh touch that is very alluring for hot weather wear. In the matter of the white blouse, a very fine voile with its frills edged with Valenciennes lace looks particularly well, especially if decorative eyelets are embroidered op it where they will be most effective. A white batiste blouse made with a modernised fichu, edged with crisp little frills of hemstitched batiste, is a most attractive little garment for hot-weather wear.
