MUM. Bought silk stockings arc unsub-
stantial things, but hand knitted ones last
indefinitely. Bought silk mittens are al
ways too broad and too short and are like
wise too loose in the wrist.
knitting is pretty work and has many
poctical associations. Add to those recon-
mcndations the more practical one that
there are numerous knitted articles which
arc attractive presents, and there seems
to be quite sufficient reason for the revival
of the popularity of the art. Our grand
mothers would have been as ashamed of
being unable to knit rs of being unable to
sew, and every woman scws.
Today's illustration shows n gown of
green taffetn. The skirt is trimmed on
each side with three obliquc bands of
black guipure insertion, which meet in
points Mt the back. The bands of insertion
are edged with black velvet. The close
fitting bodice has II sailor collar and rcvcrs
covered with an application of black
guipurc. The front opens over crossed
chemisctte of black guipure over green
taffcta. Tho belt is of black velvet en-
broidercd with steel. The hat of black
