COLLARLESS SHIRT BLOUSE

Smart Autumn Styles

By The Hon. Mrs. C.-W.

FORESTER

The tailored trend in blouses, more correctly, styled "shirts," is exactly what is wanted for 'early' autumn, when coats and skirts are the garments that we wear for both country and town - Fabrics, too, are varied and Interesting.

Another new point, in blouses and shirts is that even for golfing, tennis, or sport the most practical) shirts of wool-delaine or striped silk will have a certain note of femininity. It may be in the co- ral or crystal buttons, a fine hem-i stitch or cord to finish rever and cuff, a piping of silk attractive handwork, or a softly tying bow.
