Some Leather Novelties.
And there are other leather novel

which is worn with nice gowns and with
shirt-waist suits. IT consists OF several
/ pieces and comes in a variety OF colors-
/ II can be seen in cream suede and in
/ pale green, and IN a soft, pretty brown.
/ On4 OF the handsomest Of waist sets
was made OF thinnest suede. There was
\ a wide belt OF golden brown fastened
with n big brass harness buckle. Then

/ golden brown suede. Then came leather
/ bands Cor the wrists. a set OF this kind
would be very smart over a golf suit.
and particularly fine over a linen suit
/ for any outing purpose. such as coach
/ ing OF sutomobiiing.
One might make these suede sets with
/ 2 piece OF thin leather for material.
There IS the long, wide soft strip for the
| belt. II IS not finished upon either edge.
| but Is plain and neat. Then there are
the suede bands for the sleeves and the
neck. These can be worn over nice
! dresses, for they are very smart
While speaking OF the fancies Of the

stripe and the old-fashloned shawl with

| But there are other ways 10 wear the
I granny shawl and one OF these Is folded
| long and thrown around the shoulders
| This shawl hangs down in front and
| passes under the arms instead of over
| them. Then there IS the granny shawl
which Is worn In Cuban fashion thrown
around the head and draped around and
across the shoulders. Any woman who
! was a belle twenty years ago will tell
/ you how TO do II.
And as for the shawls thCR Selves
What intricacies OF knitting do they
/ show. what variety OF pattern. what
wonders OF silk and wool, all cunninglv
intermingled. There are shawls knit

flowers all crocheted by hand. and. in
