Jackets are worn with skirts Of all

The slip-over"jacket is featured con-
siderably, but it Is not really as COM
Portable garment as the one that

over Jacket has the same disadvan-
tages as the slip-over sweater. A
woman must remove her hat and gen.
orally disarrange her hair to get the
slip-over coat or sweater off and. as
every woman knows, warm weather
makes the wearing Of a coat for an
extended period rather uncertain.

sible. In the imported cashmere
sweaters color abounds. Not content
with one bright shade, the makers Of
these comfortable coats have COM
bined two or three bright hues in a
single garment. French blue is COM
bined with dull gold. bright yellow

Llama sweaters have taken the
place of Shetland wool for a light
weight garment. They ore thinner,
and at the same time give consider

pecially desirable for tennis. In ex-
ceedingly bright cOlors, they come in

There is quite family Of scarfs.
Lightweight cashmere, the colors of
which are quite gay, is the most popu-
lar material. One reason for this
popularity is that although very light
in weight it is warmer than silk.

SUMMER DRESS FOR EVENING
New Features Characterize Gowns for
Summer Wear-Chifion IL Favored
-Tints in profuslon.

Summer dresses for evening have
something quite new about them. They
have discarded the heavily beaded and
brocaded and velvet effects Of past
winter and are chiefly notable for the
airiness of their charm. They lock as
though they might be made of mist
rather than Of substantial materials
certain to stand the test Of number OF
wearings. Chiffon is the favored ma
tarial-and chiffon in such colors!
They can hardly be called colors; in
deed, they are mere tints-only sugges-
lions of color made more illusory be-
cause of the filmy ways in which they
are draped and hung together. 1t
takes really artistic work to fashion
one Of these evening gowns. for oil OF
the charm lies in the way the folds are
placed in the draping Of the filmy lay
ers of sheer Raaterial.

strings Ut rhinestones are combined

Garments Of Color Are Copies Of
the Winter Styles.
CHEEKY Shades in New Country Clothes
Have Been Provided by the
Manufacturer.

The brilliant colOred sweaters seen
in the shops are copies Of those worn
during the winter season at st. Moritz,
notes fashion authority. Some OF
the lOveliest are Of copper cOlOred Silk.
In the MILDLY models narrow bands in
4 contrasting color are knitted at the
waistline. A yellow angora has brown
bands at the waist. Accompanying 1t
is a yellow beret encircled with a
brown ribbon knotted in perky bow
at the side. In sweaters of the smOck
type sleeves are elbow length, while
those of Tuxedo cut usually have full
length sleeves.
Collars are Of various shapes and
sizes. They may be large enough to
form scarf with long ends or SO
smaH that they are nothing more than
neckband. Or sweaters may be COL
larless. A change from collars and
cuffs of the angora, which we have
had for several seasons, to the ex-
tensive use of those crOcheted or
chenille, is seen on this summers
sweaters. The chenille, while very be-
coming, retains the soft effect that
:, made the use Of angora so successful.
A large, rolling collar OF brown
chenille is most effective on q MILDLY
sweater knitted of French blue wool.
While the conservative navy blue
and black sweaters are still smart and
distinctive, great many bright COL
Ored ones are worn. Dark sweaters
are practical, it is true, and for some
reason they became fashionable; but
after all, there is nothing like CHEEKY
color in country clothes. There are so
many ravishing hues that custom de-
bars us from wearing on the streets OF
the city that those who have love OF

In Canada. however. the situation
Is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before

that the yield this year will be even

late growth and there is now consider

the world generally facing shortage
Of wheat and a continued heavy de-
mand for it, the price is likely to be
