"A blouse Is a blouse is a blouse." But Gertrude has never lived in Medford or seen my beautiful creations for the upper woman. Blouses are blooming like wild flowers in all corners of the shop. Delicate batiste, . . . white and crisp as a daisy . . . Gay plaids with cornflower blue and poppy gold . . . Polka dots, stripes and prints happy as butter cups in a Spring pasture. Pure silk blouses to dress up Spring suits. Cameron tailored blouses to top Spring slacks. Checked cot ton blouses to wear with Summer shorts. Or as our friend Gertrude would say . . . Blouses are blouses To wear inside houses, Or blouses are blouses To wear outside houses, Still blouses are blouses are blouses. "The Hart of Fashion" 22 S.
