Women like the comfort of a sep-

ness to accommodate a walking stride.
This dress is ,deve:oped of plain vel-
vet and brocaded metal -cloth, but
practically, any dress material may be
used for the overblouse with skirt to
match, or contrast, whichever suits

ree boli p -sits across the front, and
attached to a body lining. -Nor are the
lines of the blouse elaborate—it is dis-
tinguished chiefly by its set-in vestee-
front with attached collar that may be
