KNITTING A WHOLE COSTUME
Popularity Of Outfits for Children Az
ford a New Departure for Grown
Ups-Requires Careful Work.

Whole costumes of knitted material
have been popular for small children,
but it is a new departure to offer them
for grOwn-ups. One has o rather short
sweater top, ribbed to fit snug around
the waist and going over the head.
The rolled collar, of white, ties with
knitted cord ending in knitted balls of
green. The skirt has bands of green
on a white worsted foundation. Of
course, such a skirt must be narrow.
1t would be horror of sagging lines
after few times Of wearing if it were
full. But it must be a nice problem in
knitting to adjust it to the figure so
that it shall not curve in in all the
wrong places.
Our skirts are again scanty and
straight, but so far they disguise rath-
er than reveal the lines of the figure.
When narrow skirts were in before
careless cutting and ineXpert draping
often had results which were unfOr-
tunate, to say the least. A skirt of
knitted wool might easily repeat these
indiScretionS; so unless q woman has
graduated in the mysteries of knitting
and purling she had better not try to
solve one for herself.

Ornaments for the Neck.

The adornment of the neck is one of
the fashionable phases Of the moment,
There is quite q vogue for the fiat bead
necklaces made by the wounded sol
diers. Probably a good deal of senti-
ment is connected with the wearing of
them, but they have a distinctly deco
rative value, too, and make vivid
SplaSheS Of color on our dark gowns.
We are beginning to realize the impor
lance of neck Recommendation scope
and their limitatiOnS-in the domain Of
dress. SmartneSs may be achieved or
aiienated by the little finishing touch
at the throat. There is nothing, after
all, more becoming than the time
honored string of pearls, which, hack
neyed though it is, hardly ever seems
to look amiss and seems suitable at
practically any age. Only in the hey
day of youth are brilliantly colored
beads appropriate. After forty they
should be absolutely Taboo supplanted
by the soft fold of cream or flesh col
ored tulle, or, better still, the black
velvet band with diamond clasp. Jade
is, of course, the most popular of all
stones and colors for necklaces at pres
emf, though corals, moonstones set in
silver and opals intermingled with
crystal run them close and are some
what less expensive.

Spring Frock Featuring One-Sided
Fastening.

giving it fanciful trade names, but it
is nothing more nor less than fiber
silk, which every one knows is not silk
at all, but which serves as an excellent
imitation and substitute for silk at a
much cheaper price.
The smart little spring frock shown
in the sketch may be developed effec-
lively either in wool jersey or fiber
silk, or it could be made of serge Or
gaberdine. The real feature of this
frock is it's side fastening arrange
ment, and it is interesting to note that
the fancy for one-sided effects is evil
dent in all lines of outer apparel for
women.
Some of the smartest frocks have
draperies or tunics that fall low at one
side and are scarcely visible at the 9TH
err side, and the same rule applies to
the separate skirt.
Inasmuch as the hip drapery giving
a bouffant silhouette has had it's day.

results have been achieved.
The dress shown may be trimmed
with braiding in self or contrasting
color or merely in stitching with heavy
floss. Or if some more elaborate trim
ming touch is required, wool embroid-
cry may be recommended, especially
if wool jersey cloth is selected for the
gown.
This is a good model for an early
spring street or utility frock, and is
not one that would present serious
difficulties even to the average home

Fable silk or silk poplin could be
used for a frock of this type if some
thing more dressy than one of the knit
ted weaves is desired, with heavy en-
broidery serving as the trimming.

FASHIONS FADS

If the little girls dress is cut with
a round neck, finish it with a plated
frill.
Checkerboard cloth is one of the
fashionable effects when combined with
solid black.
lines. They are belted in the back and
rather loose in front.
For distinctly evening clothes chiffon
velvets, metal brocades and novelty
satins are chosen.
When fur is worn next to the face
the wearer should cover the face with
a veil.
Liberty satin is very much in de-
mand, and for evening dress black sat-
in combined with yellow is very good.
For evening dress, scarfs made Of
the same material as dress, but lined
with silver or gold cloth and heavily
beaded in good Designs are worn. A
shirred muff is carried to 1Aatch.
Solid ostrich feather hats are very
good for afternoon. Those are made
very small, fitting the head closely.
They are very high, allowing the feath-
ers to fall in a large tassel at the top.
All colors are combined on the hat.
For ladies who are willing to spend
considerable money, the latest in fur
is the tailless ermine shawl. This is
a wrap measuring 60 inches in length
and 36 inches in width. 1t is lined
with embroidered cream broadcloth.
Two slashes give freedom to the hands.
Not a tail is used on the wrap. En-
mine wristlets are also. worn with eve
ming dress.

Timely Economics.

Coming, as the reform does, at the
hour when spring and summer fash
ions are being conceived, the necessity
for being careful with worsted mate
rial brings less hardship than if the
reform had been launched last July.
It is true that the great mass of peo-
pie who do not live in the South and
Southwest buy a vast quantity Of
lightweight worsted clothes for Febru-
airy, March and April; but they are
quite willing to have the worsted en-
livened by chiffon, satin, silk or georg-
cite crepe.
If the women Of this country under
stand what is behind the new fashions
they will enter into the spirit of con-
servation with as much eagerness and
jealous desire to do right as they have
in the saving Of meat, wheat, sugar
and cereals.

DEMAND FOR BLACK
Material Favored as Economy
Rather Than for Mourning.
Many Disadvantages Cited in Dead
Color, Particularly That 1t Does
! Not Match Well With Khaki.

There seem to be two opinions
among merchants who deal in Wom-
ems dresses and WOmen's wear in gen
eral, about the probable demand for
black. Needless to say, war times al
ways mean an additional demand for
mourning, but after the experience Of
England and France it is hardly likely
that we will overdo the matter Of
wearing mourning in this country as
they did at the outbreak Of the war.
Already there has been very definite
and telling agitation against this, and
1t is likely that if occasion for the as
Stunning of mourning comes, it will be
donned, but likely by American worn-
en-.
But aside from black as the color Of
mourning, the prediction has been
made persistently in some quarters
that there will be an enormous demand
for black clothes as a matter Of econ
omy. Women may demand black, and
they may wear it. But the question
is still open as to whether they are
doing wisely. Almost any woman who
has ever wore black for mourning
knows that it is not an economical
color. In almost any fabric black re-
quires constant brushing and constant
trips to the tailor. No color looks
shabby so soon as black. A black suit
skirt seems to collect the dust more
quickly than suits Of other colors, and.
of course, black blouses have the dis
advantage of not usually being wash
able. The elaborate black evening gown
cut with an extreme decolletage comes
in for almost universal admiration, and
even debutantes yearn to wear it.
In England the fact is commented on
considerably that black does not go
well with khaki, and it must have
been noticed by everyone in this coun-
try that since the escort par excel
lence is the man in khaki, our pretty
girls have been wearing colors Of
brighter hue than ever before.
So think twice before you have much
black in your wardrobe, and think
three or four times before you adopt
1t as q matter of economy.

GETTING Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid Of a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This preparation has been in use for
many years and its value fully proven. No
matter what remedy you use, however, care
must be taken not to contract second cold be-
fore you have recovered from the first one and
there is ST rious danger Of this. A man of mid
die age or older should go to bed and stay in bed
until fully recovered. 1t is better to stay in
bed three days at the start than three weeks
later on.

gray and lavender and tan and laven-

brown, black and very dark purple. In
these novelties the colors are used so
sparingly and are blended so perfectly
that the effect is exceedingly charming.
