SILK WOVEN SWEATERS
Alto

The motoring sgarb which promises
70 Gust all others in popularity in the
chill Days of early spring is the
fetching combination OF the long,

fitting little silk turban to match.
Woven in the pretty pale shades in
which they come, they make the
wearer o striking and allurlng figure
whether She sits at the wheel or re.
cifnes at leisure in the tonneau.
The silk sweaters have the double
attraction of being becoming yet pos
sesstng all the warmth of heavier
wraps. As the seasons pass they
have grown more beautiful and closer
to perfection. The very newest ma.
terial for extra.warm sweaters is a
silk wool which Is as fuzzy and light
as thistledown. One OF the smartest
types comes in plaid effect, with a
collar and yestlike strap down the
front OF plain color. The plaid cap
