NEW WAYS WITH SWEATERS

HF course we are buying littIo
enough wool for new sweaters
III these days. We all feel that
Woollen yarn ought to be either gray
or khaki colored so that it may be
knit into army and navy garments,
and we all feel that our knitting
needles ought to click exclusively to
patriotic ends. But nevertheless some
OF us have on hand wool for a sweater
or two Others have old sweaters the
yarn in which can be ripped and
formed into skeins, washed and dried
and then wound and knit up again into
money saving garments to defy the
winter weather. Hence we are inter-
ested in newest things in sweaters.
An EXTREMITY serviceable and jaunty
garment is the new combination
sweater blouse, devised by some one
who wanted to conserve wool without
giving up the good points OF the
sweater.
A blouse OF some gay striped silk is
first made according to a pattern that
opens down the front with fronts that
fold back and join, in a wide sailor
collar. But the sailor collar is not
made OF the silk. Instead it is made OF
wool OF some color that goes we'll with
the stripes in the silk, as are wide cuffs
for the sleeves and n foot wide hips
section that forms a tight fitting pep
lum for the blouse. To put It on it is
simply pulled over the head. II is
charming to wear with the walking
suit skirt. and the wool is placed Just
where the additional warmth undor

the Jacket unfinished. SO that fur
pieces can be worn when desired
When the jacket is open down the
front It often has buttons only at the
neckline, say two or three, and de-
at the waist.
The turnover collar seems to have
disappeared from all kinds of gar
ments, except dinner gowns. where it
is made Of exquisite fabrics.
Evidently the designers expect wom-
en- Of all classes to own or buy a bit
OF fur for the neck, for they make no
effort to modify the severity OF q
neckline that We attribute to the If
teenth century Italian fashions.
When a frock has a collar it is OF
fur. FOR white collars or those of any
light material. such as satin or Georg-
cite or chiffon. are taboo. If fur is
not used to break the severe line then
nothing Is used. The neckline OF
gowns may be embroidered in woollen
or metallic threads, but on coats the
neckline is merely braided or fin
ished with fiat strip Of soft peltry.
Therefore do not go out on the street
to-day in a suit and white or cream
shirtwaist the broad collar of which
you have pulled outside of the jacket.
The fashion is dead.
Substitute for Tailored Suit.
AS a compromise between the coat
suit and the slim frock which many
women choose for autumn street wear
there is costume which NAV soon Ina

worthy Of the time. But tho major
ity Of women are not looking for
evening clothes 30 early In the season.
The rich and the well-to-do believe
that they can go on with the evening
gowns they have. The preponderance
Of buying Is in street clothes. and this
spreads downward into strata of So
ciety that never before went into the
question Of frocks and coats with such
vivid interest. e.
Why? Because Of the mobilization

the reason that there Is such a demand

lingerie, and bits of green are APP
pliqued on garments of pink.
Why Is It that womankind loves the
black hat? 1t must be that, after all
is said and done, we really look better
in black hats than In colored hats
Even the woman who looks sad and
disconsolate in q street costume, or
dull and pale in a black evening frock
looks we'll usually in a block hat.
Then Of course there is the fact to be
considered that the black hat looks
well with all colors, so that with what
ever frock or suit 1t NAV be worn 1t i'm
mediately becomes part OF the picture
Probably these reasons explain why
the black hat is much more in demand
than the hat of any other one color
this season. To be sure, there are
many lovely colored hats in the shops
many lovely ones on the heads OF
smartly dressed women; but still black
hats outnumber those of other colors
both in the shops and on our heads.
More lace Is being used. An in
teresting phase OF the matter Is this
workers of Belgium out of the market
and with the lace workers OF the
European fighting countries presum-
ably winding bandages or making mu-
nitions, II is difficult to see how much
new lace can be produced. For lace
making takes time. Probably there Is
a certain piquancy IN using lace Just
now, when 1t is difficult to obtain
Just as we are deluged with WOO
embroidery this year. when we are
thinking Of cotton padded frocks and
fur coats to save wool, so We find II
fascinating to use lace now that 1,
costs more than usual and is harder
to obtain. OF course. 1t Is in afternoon
and evening frocks that lace is to bt
used, and much OF It is to be black
black lace used in frocks OF black.

instead Of extending over the hips

remarkable and brilliant fashion. It

always striking.
Many Of the new collars are OF huge
proportions. Some OF them are on
frocks, some on coats, and sometimes
they are made OF fur, sometimes of

Pretty girls, catchy tunes, anus
ing situations, and an interesting
thread Of plot combine to make
"Glorianna," at the National this
week, a most enjoyable evenings en-
tertainment. "Glorianna" is a must
cal comedy in three acts, the book
and lyrics by Catherine Chisholm
Cushing and the music by Rudolf
Frinl.
Toward the end OF the frst act the
termination OF the simple plot be-
gins to brighten the stage; and the

hghtfully interesting and funny as
one could reasonably wish.

Two fixed stars of vaudeville,
Blanche Ring and Joe Jackson, d.
vide topline honors at 3. r. Reith's
this week. Miss Ring comes back
with several new songs OF war flaw
or. Her opening number is an alibi
for the lack OF the usual Ring melo-
dies. The vivacious eomedienne used
the audience to good advantage in
the chorus numbers.
Joe Jackson has long been a prime
favorite with vaudeville patrons.
Though he has the same pantomime
thEt gained him stArdom in past sea-
sons, he still continues to score heav-
lily aE a mirth puTveyor. His act is
always q generator OF merriment.
Herbert Clifton went under the wire
as a winner in his travesty on woua-
an. His impersonations are OF tho
superior type and his wardrobe

Offering his ever bewiiderinE series
of surprises in legerdemain, ASH and
his troupe were favorably received.
The Wilton Sisters, dainty dancers
and singers, were a distinct hit Olga
and Mishka Company gave an excel
lent exhibition OF grace and style in
dance novelty. Frances Nordstrom
and William Pinkham have a domes-
tic comedy along familiar lines which
found an appreciative audience.

4 triumph Of Characterization such
as is rarely seen is offered at the
Belasco Theater this week. where
Lionel Barrymore is adding more
fame to his name in Augustus
Thomas play of the civil Wal, The
Copperhesd."
As the Illinois fsrmcr-Patriot. who
through love for his country. suffers
himoelf TO be so misunderstood that
he Loaa- friends and fsmily-loses
everytHsNG worth possessing in lie.
Mr.. Barrymore plays a part which
for forcefulness OF conception and
delineation, has no equal upon the
stage today.
A cast Of superb capabilities sup
sorts the star, all portrsying char
scters of civil war days with a fidel-
ity and artistry that holds audiences
spellbound throughout an unusually
viriIe play.
The story:
Milt Shanks, farmer nsighbor OF
Abraham Lincoln. is disclosed as
rabid Copperhead as tho civil war
starts. CoppeThead was the name ap-
piled to those northerners who openly
favored the South, and ofttimes
helped the Confederacy in its strus-
giles during the COS. He sees his son
march on in the blue of the Union
army. He loses the friendship and
respect OF his neighbors and all who
know Of his stand "for peace" Later,
he comes back from prison, psrdoned
after his conviction OF murder in hav-
ing participated in the killing of Of
ticials while engaged in a guerilla
raid-comes back to learn of his sons
death at the siege of Nicksburg.
Hated by his wife, who denounces
him as unclean, Sh0nks finds every
thing lost to him.
Then the spectator is carried over
forty years to the early 19O0's.
Shauks. an old ErAy-haired man, dis
liked by all because Of the hatred
which has survived the years, lives
with his Granddaughter. He has
practfeaiIy no friends. But when his
dauGhteT's aspirations to the post OF
village teacher are threatened by
what occurred in 1881, and the fol-
lowing bloody years, Milt Shanks
tells the truth.
In q scene which leaves the re-
viewer houndsring about for words
to fittingly describe the magnificent
artistry OF his performance, Shanks
tells how he was in reality a northern
SPY. especially commissioned " MS
friend, Abraham Lincoln-tells how
he could not tell friends-not even
his own family--of his real work
tells how he suffered, all for his
country's sake.
OF course, the revelation clears
him, ana he is as much a hero as he
was once looked down upon. All
ends happily, and the final curtain
closes one Of the finest plays that
has visited Washington many sea-
song.
Mr.. Barrymore is ably supported
by Doris Rankin, whose portrayal OF
his wife, and later his Granddaughter,
was OF q type seen too rarely on the
American stage. John J. Pierson.
Albert Phillips, Eugene woodward
and Edwin Holland, as well as Ray
mond Hackstt, add characters which
are we'll played, and come well up
to the standard set by the star. The
other members Of the cast are fully
capable, and with excellent staging,
The copperhead" will score as great
. success with Capital audiences as
it did in New York.
