By Anne Rittenhouse luopjrngat. 2912, tr Mdiar jsewppcr . -7 sorvtet.) - i N BW TORK, June 13. The separate blouse does not appear In the his torical record of woman's costume until our own time. The nearest ap n proacb to such a thing Is found In the t - peasant dress of most sections of Eu V rope. The beginning of this white, short or long sleeved garment, which ; makes an invariable part of their cos-)- tume. was :, the chemise; a - long, "straight garment of hand woven linen. ' wlth a round, gathered neck, and very n short or long, plain sleeves. 4 Over it , was worn a full skirt and a short laced . bodice of some sort, which, with the , colffe and almost indispensable apron, made up the European peasant cos , tume from the tip of the Scandinavian v, peninsular, to the end of the boot of Italy. - -" 2i, ' -The Introduction of the separate A. blouse into polite society is one of the fifew real sartorial novelties of our I time. Although we might Imagine its " origin to be the peasant chemise, it is 'w , said to have been inspired by thatmas ' ' cullne garment, the hlrt, and of no less a personage than the great Oari , baldl. Certainly the earlier ones were .called Garibaldis. , Possibly they were evolved to go with the woman's tailor suit, with . "j which they made an almost simul taneous appearance. At any rate they t- were manly affairs at first, starched t nd stiff, with a shoulder yoke, stick up collar worn with a severe tie, and attached cuffs fastened by links. They '?were usually made of colored gingham v or a figured material, seldom in wnue, ' which was considered too shirtlike, 'and were distinctly a morning . wear uj garment. . 3 Gradually they were feminised and softened; the collars came off. and . were replaced by ribbon stocks, and ;heavy things of folder velvet with tabs at the back . or under each ear. Soon "'-they were made fc frlvilous materials, VT.n.k -Ill avt top. Kll , VtV Jitlll TA- --malned for some time an "undress" garment. l" Won in Evenings " All of a sudden the use of the sep--arate blouse as a means of smartening ra tailor suit for more formal wear -was discovered. Then womankind went T rather mad4 about the blouse for a -"time, and such extremes as elaborate, " decollete evening .waists were quite often seen with velvet or taffeta ' skirts. Daytime blouses would be made "of the brightest available satins to , f match the gay linings which were then In Vogue, or to contrast with them vio lently, according to individual taste. , The effect was somewhat incon gruous, exaggerated and the break be tween body and skirt was often most . unkind to the figure, so that as soon -?as women realized this the next step " frrwas naturally a one-color scheme of -a blouse In harmony with the suit. This idea was found so convenient and so practical that it Bad a long lease of life, and has not entirely dis :vappeared even yet. At thesame time fthe washable blouse has developed, too, ;and gone through Its own various -1 phases. It was no longer sallowed to J.jbe only a masculine, starcnea aiiair, y.ibut began to be daintily and richly em - Ubroidered and embellished with lace ln-.-serts and fine tucking. The exquisite hand work of the sewingfwomen of mt parts found a new opportunity. All the trousseau andlayette makers became rChemisette makers too; and; visitors o ,the French capital brought back "Uovely models which were Ijhe envy of all beholders. j 1 Copies, more often machine stitched viand embroidered, were made - In this , Country for those who could neither go 1. abroad for them nor afford the fab "ulous prices of the importers. Hand ' 'Jterchtef linen and batiste were the ma ' terlals, but soon other thin materials, - wash chiffon, voiles and, finally, Geor gette crepe were employed,, until today A we have the filmy, frilly bit of soft jneBS which is the latest .stage of evolu- tion from the old Garibaldi. Usefulness Proved, i They have proved their;, usefulness Ya a convenience and a stop-gap to ' - such an extent that, although the "pre--oious" rose against the unsightly peak ' t the waistline, and their abolition is threatened each season, they stUl . retain their place year after year, ; "There will always be an army of pro fessional and sportswomen; who could ' Bot disregard them even if they would. , Many of us have been placed in a sit ' i,uation where the immediate buying of .a blouse was a necessity, jln such an emergency we have a far better choice than formerly. The fit and workman ship, to say nothing of the materials, of the ready to wear blouses have been '.'enormously improved. Five dollars ,sed to be a beginning price for an in- - ferior model, but now there is a wide variety of thoroughly wearable gar - ments at this figure. - - it "We shall learn this yer what the domestic manufacturers can produce In thia lino better than ever before. - ' Tmoortatlon is necessarily somewhat i 'limited by existing conditions, and im " porters must charge tall prices. There "win m no floe kin of Americans to the ;J,blouss counters of the QaUerlea La- n-avntte and the Bon March to try on blouses-at 'jfranc 15.90 or!29.50 at the nti-rt tin tables. There will he no pa- 4rtlent saleswomen trying to follow the guidebook rrencn or xnoaei whoso com- - J -roan d of , the language goes scarcely further than the Laird's fJ prong." We shall undoubtedly miss the fine - handwork on our domestic! models and - ' the beautiful finish. We cannot afford :tn eiva this here at moaeraie prices.

The ' finish Of the home product la improv- however, ana wiu improve even more rapidly, now that we have learned - ' to demand It. . rzlUs Jtr Herrlved. The most noticeable Innovation this year is the addition of frills. Of " Mtirfia. It la not an innovation' really. - out a revival. Tb Jabot blouse had -its last Incarnation about six years ago or so. W were wearing- very high ; -collar wltk bone all around them -(then. Instruments of torture that they .werel Some women used to carry , pad of eotton -wool in their purse. ;read to tuck a bit under, tip of cup- Bl ouses- Comfort rm Collars ports which were digging bole In ,thelr necks. When the no collar edict was extended to blouses we were all thankful. ' Frill then left us for a while, and the forerunner of the pres ent two-ln-on collar, a turnover affair leaving a pointed opening in front, was In vogue. Last year the blouse was the waistcoat model of handkerchief linen and pique, with flaring collar points. The effect was very smart and a good Quality was sold at 25 francs in Parts and $25 in New York! This year fluffiness reign again. For mpre strictly tailored wear the Ingenuity of the two-ln-on collar makes 1 a com promise between fashion and- comfort In a plain blouse. Frills, however, in vading all i our garments, even our shoes and gloves, form veritable cas cades down the front of our blouses. After several all-white seasons col ored linens appear again this year and colored organdies of a transparency! We have to bo as careful how we dress under them as we used in the days of the "peek-a-boo" waist, as vulgar a Its name. As soon as the country houses are occupied and the country season In full swing we shall know whether the colored fabrics have been extensively adopted or not. In town, where the blouse is not worn in the stceet without a Jacket, it is impossible to tell which is preferred. Very good shops, however, show ex pensive models, both Imported and do mestic, in the pale shades, particularly lavender and pink. The hairline of color on a white ground seems an es tablished fact and dots of color, some rather large, are also shown. The color note on a white foundation is also introduced in the popular revival of smocking. Workmanship Exquisite. Exquisite workmanship character izes many examples. Fine hand-hemstitching, insets of thread and- filet lace, pin tucks in groups, French em broidery, lace motifs and drawn work are all employed. In some cases sin gle lines of fine white beads are used as ornamentation. A lovely model of sheerest handkerchief linen was em bellished with a pattern of : squares done in white china beads. Much white chiffon, voile and Georgette crepe is employed for blouses with plaited frills. These need the services of a first class laundress. In default of expert laundry work we shall have to send them to an expensive cleaner every time they are soiled. The French woman has the advantage of us, with her blanchiseuse de fin on every street and the cheap cleaning facilities of France. Good shops are still showing what may be called a blouse de luxe for summer wear, proving that there is still a demand for such a thing. A white satin and chiffon one was planned to wear for a country club luncheon with the white serge suit. The high collar and strip down the front was of the satin, buttoned with two rows of small round satin buttons. Two straps or bratelles of satin went over the shoulders to the waist, where they met and blended In a girdle which tied behind in sash ends. The body of the blouse was of chiffon. The sleeves reversed the usual order. They were of satin and. had chiffon cuffs and were set in with a cord of the satin. Other pretty models revive the fash ion jof running a broad, pale pink satin ribbon under a mass of lace and chif fon. Often the chiffon is lightly plaited. -Dark transparent fabrics are placed' over printed voiles, giving a new effect, which is rather warm look ing and suggests early fall. A navy blue chiffon was placed over a white voile with huge polka dots of light blue printed on it and its collar and cuffs were piped with light blue satin to match the dots. Too Useful to Abandon. Altogether the blouse no longer holds the honored place of yore In women's eyes, and there are no1 more decollete ones for dignified evening year, still there' are few of us who do not include them in our wardrobe. We have real ized that a good servant makes a bad master in this respect, but, in their place, they ate- too useful to aban don. No one who indulges in sport can afford to do sd. Here washable silk still holds its own even in sum mer, although there are models in linen and batiste also. There is a new Nor folk linen blouse to wear outside the skirt which ought to be very practical for strenuous sport like tennis. Wise . travelers must also patronise the blouse shops. Pilgrims to the ex position will not be able to- dispense with them, as for land travel they are a necessity. Space ls limited in the compartment of a car. It used to be on the Transatlantic lines, , but these days staterooms are more generous in size, and the practically unlimited ac cess to the , baggage hold has solved the problem of packing a week's ward robe into small space at sea. It Would be difficult, however, to pack gowns enough for a coast-to-coast trip, - es pecially In the summer with its. prob lems of dust, heat, and changing tem perature, in the small compass of hand baggage. Nothing is more annoying on a train than, to nave one's com partment mo crowded with bag . and bundles that there is barely room for one's self. Anyone can store away five blouses and look fresh and dainty and feel respectable all the time. At the end of the Journey, a trip to the laun dry repairs all the ravage of cinders and alkali dust. Tolt lag!. Collar. As to the detail of : tb season.' blouses, the collars, sleeves, cuffs, etc whicb date - them more readily than anything else, we may observe that Al though the decree of nigh collars went forth In February, a decided relaxa tion , is to b noted. The compromise effects are being-varied all the time, and - many of the frilled model ; are frankly low in cut. Many retain the collar only in the baca. - . Perhaps we are growing more inde pendent and courageous than of old. and are daring to dispute these arbi trary decree of " unseen powers. On many model high collars still remain. However. ; sometimes -they ax double. a straight high one Inside a flaring one. . Advance models for - fall show a revival of the old fashioned : black stock. These are indescribably chic for those who can wear- them, and very Gladstonian. indeed, made often of fine, lightly tarched linen with point sharply standing away on each side, and bound up to the chin with black ribbon. - . : Sometimes there is a fold of black sT n IU . WT till IV .," Mauve and blue striped satin bodice with bine tulle skirt over maore tulle. satin around the neck, with two dog's ear points of linen in ront. There are also net arrangements, two little plaited frills standing up, and two turning down with a black ribbon be tween them. The same thing appears as cuffs on a blouse of the finest white net, with no other trimming. The whole bod-y of the blouse, and the sleeves, is lightly plaited in accordion plaits. Fine meshed net was largely used three years ago. Its extensive use for summer gowns has made the revival of it quite natural for blouses. There is no more satisfactory material for either. ... ! The sleeves of the season are nearly all long. Unlike collars, they have made no compromise a yet with the temperature. A few 1 three-quarter , lengths are seen on good models, but only as the exception, t which proves the rule. Nearly . all are set In with a normal armhole. Sometimes they run up onto the shoulder in raglan ef- rect, ana sometimes iney are cui m one with a shallow yoke. Thl line gives an opportunity for a Jour, hem stitching or fine cording, which Is seen on the French waists. A very few, in the softest, thinnest materials show the kimono vt, and in general the armhole: Is very trim. L The Bishop sleeve in modified form, set in at the shoulder, or gathered from a dropped cap, la a favorite. It is usually fin ished with a small bracelet cun ana plaited . ruffle falling over the hand. There is no sign as yet of the abnormal in sleeves, though there is of ten . a slight ' swelling of the top part when it is set into a deep cuff.

Most of the models fasten down the front, a few close at tb side, and the surplice front is also Been. , a new. Idea is to trip one side of a surplice closing with a turned-back pleated ruf fle. Sometime there is one rever. Dor dered with a hem of colored linen, or ruffled at fhe edge, or cut into scallops buttonholed or bound with color. - The bolero Idea is applied to . washable blouses in the form of lines of hemstitching,-which outline a Jacket form upon the material. Another new idea is to cut the back of the, blouse and the collar in one unbroken piece.

If : communicated by you to anybody who Is 111 It -may so affect him as to retard, or even pro vent, ' recovery. --I Indeed, in the case of any sick per son, the whole attitude of his or her attendants counts for much. The truth of this has long been ap preciated by experienced physicians. They always try to give, their patients beneflcient mental surroundings. But they are of ten Jthwarted-by the inju dicious behavior of those most eager to have the invalids brought back to health. Most harmful, of all is a display of anxious solicitude. The next time you have: Illness In the home and are called to nurse some beloved relative, make up your mind to conceal as far as you can any fear you may have as to the outcome. - ' : -; , On the other hand, a display of quiet confidence on your, part is bound to have a bracing effect. Consciously or subconsciously the sick person will re flect, "I am not so badly off, after all. Quite evidently everybody expects toe to get well soon. And. unless recov ery is out of the question, your atti tnde of confidence will certainly hasten convalescence. . Confidence and hopefulness often mean more than all the drugs in the world. ' . . . Also, ; do - not let your . patient dwell on thoughts 4f his illness- keep his mind occupied with pleasant things. Unless absolute quiet- is Imperative, gossip about interesting occurrences.

But be careful neither to talk nor -to read too much. v , i Sick people tire easily, and your aim should be to promote restfulness.
