If you want trimmed up things, have a regular blouse, and then wear it with an afternoon costume. IF YOU WANT TRIMMED UP THINGS HAVE A REGULAR BLOUSE AND THEN WEAR IT WITH AN AFTERNOON COSTUME
his girl in the picture is drawn in an ordinary morning skirt and boots, she wears a light-colored ribbon in her hair! Caroline, dearest, where could her eyes and observation and sense of the fitness of things have been--with the example of the exquisite Parisiennes in front of her--to be able to perpetrate these incongruities! But there is more to come! Her skirt is a rough, useful serge skirt, and her boots, although the heels are too high, are not a bad shape--but with this she has put on one of those cheap, impossible blouses, cut all in one piece--“kimono,” I believe they are called--with short sleeves and an unmeaning black bow tacked to the cuff! Now, a shirt should be a workmanlike thing, as neat as a man’s, and with long sleeves finished by real shirt-cuffs with links. It can be composed of silk, flannel, or linen, but if it is a shirt--that is, a garment for the morning, and to be worn with a rough serge or tweed winter suit--it should have no meaningless fripperies about it.
