BELTS KNITTED IN SWEATERS
Models Of This Kind More Graceful
on Slender, Youthful Figures
Than on the Large Woman.

Many of the new sweaters have the
belt knitted in and these models are
very graceful on slender, youthful fig
sures but the large woman looks bet
ter In a sweater with separate belt,
buttoned or tied like a sash. The lat
ter soft Of belt may be adjusted to
suit the lines Of the figure and the
knitted coat does not cling as closely
as one with the waistline drawn In
by q purled band.
When the belt is knitted, the sllp-on
model is favored and for autumn
these slip-on sweaters have sleeves
and very often deep sailor collars.
A very good looking model Of heavy
white wool Is purle din large ribs the
whole length Of the sweater. The
sleeve, set in separately, is purled al
so, and the wide rib makes the sweat
er warm. and substantial looking for
autumn wear. Wide and narrow
stripes in purple border the sleeve, the
lower edge Of the collar and the waist
band, which is set into the sweater
with smaller needles.
Brown sweaters are considered
smart this season and y popular model
Is of brown English mohair wool
which has q rough surface like an
CORA. The belt and trimmings are of
brown Scotch wool with stripes In
lighter brown.
Very high colors are favored in silk
sweaters and the best models have
corrugated stitch forming a heavy RIB.
Sashes are wider than ever and are
trimmed with deep fringe; and sweat
err pockets are very large with q point
ut the lower edge, a covered button.

HATS FEEL FABRIC SHORTAGE
Many Of the Sport Variety Made Of
Chenille and Wool Materials
That Simulate Felt.

As the season advances the diff
Guilty in procuring felt and velour
shapes becomes more apparent, due to
the demands Of the army, and many
sports hats are being made of wool
fabrics that simulate felt, and also of
chenille.
Sometimes the chenille is sewed to-
gether in close rows, and again knit
ted or crocheted effect is developed.
Fortunately Dame Fashion approves
the small and medium-sized hat rather
than the big, spreading picture affair.
This ruling accords well with the fab
ric shortage, which Is felt fully as
much in the millinery field as in the
larger one covering coats, suits, etc.
Fashion in children's hats vary but
slightly from last year, and even at
the risk of annoying the young miss,
who undoubtedly will feel that she IL
clearly entitled to new hat, last sea-
sons model may be carefully retrim-
med without anyone outside the fam
lily being the wiserl Poke and mush-
room shapes are the preferred ones
for juveniles.

May Grow Heat and Light.

Gas from straw for lighting and
heating purposes is one Of the latest
projects that is being tried out in the
Canadian west If it proves a first
class success the western farmers will
be less dependent upon the oil wells
Of the east and coal mines Of both east
and west. He will grow his light and
his heat in the same field in which he
grows his wheat and oats, and from
the same crop.
There are about 10000, 900 acres I'M
der grain crops in the three prairie
provinces; each acre produces at least
one ton Of straw-20,O 900 tons Of
straw in all, which the advocates of
straw-gas estimate would produce en-
ergy equal to seven times the power
developed at Niagara Falls. And with
a gas machine each farmer could turn
as much Of his straw as he liked into
gas with which to light and heat his
house.

ell, which was designed by Premet. was
velours de laine in a warm shade Of
"shrapnel-gray." The, coatee was
rather short and Of "sac" outline, with
large gun-metal buttons down the
front, and trimmings Of civet-cat fur.
The fact that there were no sleeves
permitted the smart blouse under
meath to be seen to advantage.
A special point connected with this
little garment was its lining, which
was made Of printed silk which
showed dark blue and black designs
on an orange ground.
Nowadays Innings are Of the utmost
Importance, and since the happenings
of this most terrible war have made
silken goods cheaper than serge or
cloth, at least in France, brocades and
printed silks are being freely used for
Innings, even In the case Of simple
tailored suits.

All dresses except those designed
for young girls show either normal

Economist. The Various lines for
college and high school girls have
rather short waists or by means
Of wide girdles give a general effect
Of short waists. The use Of wildly
colored plaid silks for trimming these

growing in favor. Colors follow close
