WOMAN’S PAGE. Crepe de Chine Overblouses BY ANNE RITTENHOUSI Of overblouses there are hundreds. Suddenly shops, manufacturers, dress- makers, centered their attention on noveltics in the New York shops, these blouses punctuate the impres- sions of a day. There are specimens of printed cotton and cashmere shawls, others In orlental silk with Egyptian, Chinese, Assyrian and Mad- agascar patterns. These are simple brald overblouses, others of Indo- Chine embroidery in birds and pea- cocks. Standing out among the amazing assortment is a blouse of heavy crepe de chine. The sketch shows it as it is worn by hundreds of girls. The front and back are like bibs, with broad hemstitched cdges. These are carefully placed over the top of sleeves which form the neckline. Sometimes the sleeves are short, Again, they reach the wrist, where they are finished with tennis cuffs and link buttons. There's a wide and tight hipband or merely a hem- stitched hem fastened at one side. In some homes making blouses takes up the lelsure hours of women as knitting did in the war. You can go in for tea at 5 o'clock and find lengths of wide almond green, rust brown, French blue crepe de chine spread over the sofa. It is in process of being hemstitched. Soon there will emerge from the confusion a half- dozen blouses In this special and strongly preferred pattern. Women wear them with suits. also under fur coats with separate skirts. They flitter over Palm Beach like palm leaves. The best-dressed young- sters put thém under tweed sult: worn at country clubs and restaurants at the lunch hour. Strange how firm a grip certain garments get on the American publi Once every one wore a colored silk sweater open down the front. loosely confined with a string girdle, with wide pocke Added to this was a | muslin_ shirt waist and linen skirt. This ume was followed by the slip-on sweater with long slceves, round neckline and narrow leather belt. Under it was a white shirt waist which cmerged at the neck into a Peter Pan collar and came out at the wrists into tennis cuffs held with hairpins, not link buttons. Now, our regulation outdoor cos- tume fs a homespun skirt fastened at one side, a heavy white crepe de chine blouse with monogram at chest or cuff, a jacket of any fabric one can picK up in a shop or borrow frae bis of interfor decoration.

Yolanda's name has been fre- auently llked with that of young Leopold of Belgium, and now Hum- bert is announced as the future - hus- d of Leopold's little sister, the Sweet-faced Princess Marie Jose.
