bonanza.
Now that fashion is flirtatious
once more, gay blouses add the
seasoning to suit fashions and can
change the mood of a tailored cos
tume as quick as you can say
presto-change-o.
The favorite suit silhouette of
the season is the simple, under
stated line with brief box jacket,

blouses.
The white blouse is, of course,
a must, and it comes in a variety
of styles and fabrics, from the crisp

the new blouses also come in syn
