TREAT YOUR VEIL THIS WAY
Attractive Use Of Wool Embroidery 10
Detailed by Z Well Known Fash.
Ion Correspondent.

Now that wells are 'in" again so
strong, the individually inclined per-
sons will be racking their clever little
heads for different veil treatments,
observes a fashion writer. Presuppos-
ing you to be One Of that class, here
are some ideas that may interest you:
Some time somewhere very recently
was noted q veil that had for a border
an interesting use OF wool yes. wool
embroidery. Large woolly French
knots they were that grouped them
selves in threes, diamond shape, all
about the lower edge Of the veil. They
would be every bit as effective In mer-
cerized cotton. though, and so much
more patriotic, too. Also you have q
really vast scope of color schemes to
draw from. Blue knots are ever SO
chic on the black veil. and so are white
ones But be sure that the mesh is
fine enough to permit of successful
French knots. One girl adopted the
idea and was so pleased with the re-
suits that she straightway set to work
making an allover knotted veil. It
was stunning.

SWEATER IS FAWN C0LORED
Latest style home-knltted 0arnon3
Tor Fall u Both Sensibie and
on~expenelve,

Each season develops its exclusive
sweater style, and the smart summer
sweater this year Is a fawn-colored af-
fair with graceful lines and a crossed
belt instead Of q sash. The belt, which
Is very wide, matches the sweater in
color and Is knitted on small needles
SO that its weave Is firm and strong.
The end Of the belt passes through q
slit In the other end, and both ends
fasten back neatly against the belt
with loops over pearl buttons The
band trimming down the front and
around the neck, also made on the
small needles, turns back against the
sweater to form q narrow collar and
reyefs.
The tops Of the pockets turn down
In the same way and are caught with
loops ami pearl buttons. The body Of
the fawn-colored sweater is of fine
shetland wool in q rather loose stitch,
the closely-knitted trimmings giving an
effective touch Of contrast. Such q
sweater must be made slightly wider
than usual in the fronts, to allow for
the turning back OF the edges in rcver
fashion.
The woman who feels she owes one
really good sweater to herself, after
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1918-08-23

all she has made for the soldiers, Is
putting her extra TIME into a really
good knitted coat which will be warm
enough for autumn and winter wear.
She will study the stunning sweaters
sold for mems yea by the sporting
goods houses and pattern her autumn
jacket accordingly. Knitting one way
and purling back produces a very close,
compact stitch which Is exceedingly
durable. It takes longer to knit a
sweater this way but the result pays.
The sleeves should be made separately
and sewed in. The collar may be roll
ed over silk like the collar on a mans
sweater, or the plain edge band that
gives a V-neck opening may be used.

Padua, Italy, May 13.-There was a
stirring scene in the central square
of the city on a recent Sunday when
the American Red Cross began its
sale of garments made by the wives
and daughters of Italian soldiers at
the front The great square Of Uni
ted Italy was crowded with peasant
women for miles around eager to OBJ
tain some of the garments, for, be-
sides giving employment to the wom-
en-, the Red Cross sells the product at
small nominal price to the families
of soldiers. A file of Carbinieri was
required to keep back the throng, and
the rush for the sales counters was
so great that Captain Thwaits, the
American official lin charge, was
obliged to adopt the plan Of issuing
numbers to the buyers.
The work-rooms where several hun
dred women are employed during the
week, was cleared for the sale and
long counters were piled high with
dresses, blouses, childrens suits and
,, undergarments, and all the miscel-
laneous articles Of an extensive wom-
ems furnishing establishment. The
sales-women were drawn from the
best known families of Padua, with
Countess Papapava and other titled
women adjusting pinafores on peas
ant children and meeting the de-
mands of the anxious buyers.
In the two hours of the opening
sale the peasant women had bought
5000 lire worth of garments, large
sum for people of scant means. The
goods were worth two or three times
that amount and represented several
thousand lire paid in wages by the
Red Cross to the hundreds of girl
workers. Every worker and every
buyer must show a card establishing
relationship with a soldier, and thus
the work is kept as one of military
utility.
Later in the day the results of the
sale were apparent on the maiI
streets as the peasant women will
their children were proudly wearing
their Red Cross garments, which, il
a way, have transformed the appear
ance of many of these people giving
them an air of cleanliness and con,
fort.
