BLOUSES FOR AUTUMN.

Iu the new blouse models of the season we find our old friends, the Magyar and the Eaglan shapes, almost unchanged. Long sleeves, not over-tight, are found in most Of the prettiest blouses, none of them having three-quarter sleeves. As a rule there is an upright collar at the back, und the neck is slight decollete in front. Soft materials of beaxitiful pastel shades, particularly pinks,, are used for the new blouses.

The tight-fitting blouse of the waistcoat form will hardly concern the average woman. They are obviously intended only for sylph-like figures, and in any case are so difficult to cut and fit that only a skilled dressmaker ought to attempt to make them. Besides, they are intended to be fashioned of the most expensive materials. Unless they are made of costly fabrics by a costly dressmaker, they will look ridiculous. Even at their best they have not the grace of the Magyar and Eaglan blouses, which fortunately are within the-reach of any one of us.
