SWEATERS STILL

olsplayed at the moment 1t IS practi- cally safe to Say that this will be g sweater season. After all, no one garment or wrap takes the place of this comfortable and good-looking little thing. The sweater fills thous- and needs and purposes and incl dentally can make the most impossi- ble passe skirt and blouse have a semblance, at least, of perfect up-to- dateness
 While there Is no distinct departure from the designs of other seasons to be chronicled endless new colors and the combinations of colors are clever ly exploited. For instance, a mar vellous silk sweater is made of deep heather purple, rich and warm in tone, and knitted through in a most pleasing arrangement are various other colors forming a plaid surface harmonious indeed. The sweater follows the lines of the first familiar coat sweaters and has a belt with sash ends to tie at the waist, says the Providence Journal
 It is not always easy to find a dark sweater in colors suitable and not
 
 the new khaki shades seem to be just the thing. A stunning Angora sweat CT in this color has a facing down the front of dark brown knitted of a smooth wool. This is also employed for the rolling collar and belt and a narrow facing along the top of the pockets.
 The same shade of wool makes one Of the so-called fishtail models, the lower part of which is purled to the bust and from there is knitted into a plain yoke, with a deep-pointed V in the front. This has the new rolling collar, which stops just at the love- tip of the V and hangs free at both sides. A narrow belt loops around the waist and is fastened at the side.
 The fshtail sweaters, which are nearly always sleeveless. are worn somewhat differently from those of last year, especially by the younger set, who have found a. smart way of | rolling the lower part of the waist 1 back over the purling so that a hem ! effect is given. much as is seen on middy blouses.
 The middy blouse, too, serves as a 1 model for some very new designs in tended distinctly for sports wear. One of these, Of white silk, has a pale 1 blue hem set along the bottom and | folded back on the white just as the middies have. The sleeves are long and show the same sort of tight but l toned cuffs presented also on middy 1 blouses.
 l rTha Ia buttons on one shoulder, has a high, tight collar, which fastens under one ear, and is finished with deep point ed collar in the back. This one is ! ornamented with q fluffy silk tassel Naturally the very slim and youthful figures look well in this sort of thing
 Indeed, 1t is not every figure which can wear sweater well. If a woman is inclined to be round (not to use the word everyone dreads FAT) the sweater and its charms is not for her; however, it can be helped along a little by adding a belt of some sort and adjusting the lines a little. A good way to do this with a coat mod. el is to leave the front entirely oper and falling rather loosely from the shoulders and tie the sash twice around the waist with the ends ir the back.
 Some distinctly different model. are made of wool jersey. which brings back to mind the jerseys ot other long gone by days, except, tha these are much prettier and do no plaster themselves to the figure a: did those others. The newer jersey! are in fact smocks and have a gooC deal of fitness, which is belted in a the waist with 8 long sash heavily embroidered on the ends with brigh woolen threads which correspond tt
 the same sort of wool embroider. , around the collar and down the iron of the neck. The colors in this em broidery show a good deal of re- and all harmonize delightfully."- witl
 the color of the jersey blouse. Now that such lovely summer ap : parel appears charming silken sweat CTS which will again be the favored summer wraps must be recognized , anew. The tricolette and other knit
 ted materials which have been S
 much used for dresses and coat suit
 have been made up into wonderful
 SuIIfleT 1UlHSS.
 For instance a white silken cap , of heaviest tricollette. It is mad 7 with an extra cape collar effect owe , the shoulders, and this as well as tn , sides and bottoms of the cape is hun S with a heavy silk fringe. Cores l pondingly lovely is a sweater, als white, made of a new tricellett
 showing a blocked satin effec through the whole surface.
 The pretty pale colors, pink, blue
 lavender and canary, are as. muc
 seen as when they first appeared
 Those who are clever with their knit
 ting needles doubtless will copy som
 of the lovely things which are rathe
 out of reach of the average purse.
 A new sort of skeleton sweater ha
 a wide, deep ruffle around the wais
 made by adding a double amount C
 stitches to the plain band whic
 forms the waistline. The fulnes
 flares prettily, while the tight-fittin
 belt congresses the figure. The UT I per part of the sweater is very nal . TOW, the two fronts forming a dee |, which, by the way, is the ne
