SWEATER BECOMES
UNIVERSAL FAVORITE

1t Is curious to notice the rapid evo-
luton OF the sweater from a boyish
garment worn by athletic young girls
at Maine resorts to the acceptable and
every-hour jacket for young n old at
all spots where the weather permits It.
The objection to It from the conserva-
tive members Of society has vanished.
Custom changes all opinion. The
sweater has become as universal as tho
shirt waist.
The innovation is the large fla brass
button. Young girls adopt this on the
white as well as the colOred ones. Some
Of the pockets rave pointed flaps held
dow by a huge brass button.
Others have long revers cuffs, and
pocket fiaps of vivid linen in any OF the
popular oolors, and his is not an un-
pleasing touch. They are basted on
and easily removed when sOiled.
The advantages OF the colored sweat
ers over the pure white ones is that
they do not ave to ba cleaned so often
