USES FOR JUMPER CORSAGE

Among the many adaptabilities of
dress made by the times in which
we live right precious among our
necessary possessions the jumper cor
sage ranks high.
1t is very near relation for after
noon and evening wear of the har-
ness or braces that unite the skirt Of
a morning toilet to the blouse of a
different fabric, making of the two a
harmonious whole and enabling the
patchy aspect of the corsage and skirt
Of alien materials and colors to adopt
a distinctly pleasing look instead Of
the one that is merely unitarian.
Attention is called to the practical
aspect of the jumper, first and fore
most because that which is useful is
Of special appeal now. But the design
er had in view a sleeve novelty which
is sure to please those who like the
airy-looking covering of the full order
that is so identifying to all arms,
whether slender or robust
Designed specially for a combina-
ton of two materials, such as peri
Wrinkle blue silk and shot pearl gray
and silver gauze, this idea will lend
itself to many other uses.

NEW FEATURES In DRESS

Many tweed gowns have added
pockets. and very nice these patch
pockets look in a plain suit.
Metal brocades are employed for
evening coats.
We shall be wearing silks of all
kinds all the year through.
Broadcloth gowns are in favor, and
the demand is ever increasing. Faille
grounds with velvet designs upon
them, brocade or sometimes stripes,
bring US back to thirty years ago, and
plenty of glace is used for very full
skirts made with f1ounces drawn in
with cord. The bodice, full also and
attached to the skirt, is one of the
models that are likely to be well worn.
Happily all women cannot be cast in
the same mold, so some of us look
well in one style, some in another
We are likely this year to adopt not
many fashions but one fashion, but
the women of today, especially the
girls. are so distinctly different to the
women who wore those styles in times
past that it is q certainty that they
will assume quite different aspect,
more suited to modern notions.

OF course look splendid if accompanied
as indicated in my sketch-by a
pannier dress made of the same let
tuce-green taffeta as the bodice.
Worth is making excellent use of
old-world silks. Some of his evening
dresses are expressed in lowered
stuffs which show designs in bright,
almost crude, colors on a blurred back
ground. Lettuce-green is often seen at
this Maison, also a bright shade of
puce and a rather hard blue which
combines well with invisible green or
very dark gray.
The high collar shown in this sketch
might be made of georgette crepe, dou-
the original model, be of the same ma
terial as the rest of the dress.
Worth is creating very beautiful eve
ming gowns which are composed al
most entirely of lace, or of brocaded
satin. He has never cared to take
from the value of rich materials by
mixing them indiscriminately.
If the lace be rich and valuable-and
the Maison Worth rarely uses lace
which is not valuable-it is allowed to
speak for itself. Flounces and mys-
FERROUS draperies are thrown together
and then, as a final touch, some rare
piece of embroidery is deity intro

FLARE MUST BE JUST RIGHT

THE fares the thing" might be an
apt parody to designate the season s
styles. 1t is the management of the
flare which marks a frock or suit as
well-made or amateurish. The godct
ripples which are worked into almost
every suit coat are an example of the
lengths to which fashion will resort to
obtain the required fare. Cartridge
plaits at the waist or hip line guaran-
tee to give much fullness to a skirt
which may be held out still further
with an invisible hem Of stiffening
These stiffenings are being manufac-
tured to very fine, state of perfec-
ton.
The fare at the hip line has devel
oped from puffed panniers to wired
peplums which fare out almost at right
angles with the figure.
1t is surprising to see the number
of skirts, especially in the thin ma
terials, which are draped from the I'm
cut width of goods The draping very
often follows the easiest method,
which is to tack the skirt at regular
intervals to the waist line, allowing
the intervening spaces to hang in
umbrella folds. Occasionally the
draping is more complicated. At any
rate, the flare is thus assured.
Pockets are added in cornucopia eff
fects to give extra flare at the hip
line. Sleeve cuffs are made over a
foundation of buckram to hold them
outright from the soft pulled sleeve
above. Sleeve flares are often bound
with stiff metal ribbons to give extra
bouffancy.
One skirt goes so far as to use
stiff buckram lining for the hip pan
niers.

THINGS THE kNlTTER NEED2

Although one of the chief advan.
tages of knitting or crocheting is the
simplicity Of the equipment required
there are a few little accessories that
should not be omitted in the knitter's
work bag
There should always be a small but
sharp pair of scissors, for clipping
loose ends and trimming the Jennings
There should be a small needle case
containing a few blunt-ended, coarse
needles to use for splicing heavy wool
and for joining the parts of shaped
knitted garments when so directed.
The knitter should always have a
crochet hook at hand, preferably q
small-hooked, long needle, for this is
very useful in picking up stitches that
are dropped, in pulling through loose
ends, and, occasionally, for making
joining in shaped knitted garments.
Occasionally in making a garment,
such as a large sweater, the directions
make it necessary either to use an
other set of needles, or to drop off the
stitches temporarily. This is neces-
sary, for instance, in knitting a jacket
on kimono lines, when making the sec
ond sleeve. These stitches can be
slipped on a large safety pin, and the
pin, clamped shut, will keep them safe.
Several large safety pins should be
kept in the knitting bag for this pur-
pose.
1t is a very good idea to keep knit
