Design 1511-B is made with
nug, grown-up-looking little basque
and a becoming square neckline.
Jersey, flannel and wool crepe are good materials for school jum- pera; linen, organdy and dotted Swiss for the blouse. A taffeta ver-

It is true. Have you seen any scrawny, hunched, unlovely arms, shoulders, chest and necks atop the shoulderless decolletage? I haven't.
