4 UST the most fashionable garment
y for mountain and seaside resorts,
where mornings and evenings bring
celebrating breezes with a snappy
chill in them, is the silk sweater-coat.
These smart garments are selling
freely at figures which rather take
ones breath away. Twenty-Five to
thirty dollars each seems high price
for a sweater of any sort. But there
is no difficulty In finding people who
are quite willing to pay it. Once let
fashionables, and their imitators, get
used to unusual prices and there is
not telling the length to which they
win go.
Besides the sweaters and sweater
coats of silk-there are others. Those
OF wood fiber, which looks like silk,
and ia as strong or stronger. are much
lower IN price, about half as high
Then there are splendid wool sweat
ers in many colors and varieties OF
design.
A sweater-coat and cap to match,
like those shown in the picture, what
ever the fabric they are made OF, will
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1914-09-04

fcrtify their wearer against a chill
The cool air, dropping down from
frosty mountain tops, and breezes that
have travelled from the land of ice
bergs to that of seaside hotels, are
the reasons for the existence of sweat
ers. They stand daily use, and manu-
facturers are endeavoring to make
them attractive, and have. in fact, sue
ceeded in doing some very beautiful
knitting. 1t would not do to get too
far away from simplicity, and It is in
new ways of knitting that the best OF
new attractions lie.
The sweater for little girl, shown
here, could hardly be palmer. A close
ly knitted border and pocket at each
side are not purely decorative figures.
but they afford all the details of orna-
mentation except the border Of fancy
knitting about the bottom.
On sweater coats for grownups
there are collars in several styles
which add much to their finish. But
aside from this they are about the
same as the model shown in the pic
ture.
