NEW BLOUSES-THE MAGYAR.

The Magvar blouse has taken .tho affections of women by storm, and is rapidly risins to universal popularity, says a writer in tho "Daily Telegraph. It. u. a' shcath-liko garment, tastened at Ule back. Cot with the sleeves and the rest of the blouse in one, it bears, an appaaranco of simplicity that is quite convincing to the male mind. But the feminine critic, aware thai ■ appearances are deceitful, knows that the novelty demands skilful treatment to make it a real success. It is another contribution to tho ! "littlo girl" models in which the dressi -nakors are delighlins this spring, and.

like tho short skirt and attenuated jacket, bears a nursery-like air of juvenility and suggests' the requirements of a small damsel of seven instead of those of her mother, for whom it is intended. I hero must bo no collar of the old upstanding pattern upon tho primitive Magyar blouse, but instead a childish oveT-turaed frill of softest unstarched mnslm, needlerun net, or delicate lace of an antique a pearanoe. At first the; blouses wow So of silk.crcpon, and the once more highly approved Shantung, but brown holland (essentially a-nursery fabric) and pique as suitable materials were soon suggested for warmer weather wear. Another characteristic of the Magyar corsage, in its earliest stage, was ".complete absence of trimming, but the latest productions have a little below the chin, or a small insert on of very precious lace in hen of the "Diorrot" frill. Since the success attained by t™ "pneumonia" blouse, no pattern has suddenly come into jsuch instant fwpular ty as the Magyar. The transpareTblousc, another novelty, has m some instances the slip trimmed with appliques of bright cretonne or tulle do Jouj, awl the blouse worn over this is composed ofVe Voile! Or again the dip mar be of printed brocade or brocaded silk, which producef a charming effect .under a transparent lace blouse, and gives quite an air of richness and munificence. Very charming, too, are the foundations to °wea™ eneatb lace, blouses made o cream monsselme do soie, hrocaded vth detached little bouquets o roses just slightly powdered with gold. These are worn beneath blouses of more sombre Unts of voile, and present *ta appearance of some rich and rare-material, rhe material of the blouse should always be obtained before the slip,, as the enect of the voile upon a foundation of cretonne of flowered niousselme de soie can then ba ascertained. Nearly all the.new ."kimono"-blouses are made of SiotMfoil or net, elaborately, braided with soutache or trimmed with fine cord and butloM Some are fashioned with a Spe attached to the blouse, while Es are made as a eoparato garment, and are wom over a net or tulle blouse.
