4 Truly, in these days. making
one is so simplified because of the
helps that you can buy in the shops
that nobody need hesitate to go about

is nothing but a little neat sewing
needed to get good results.

fringes of red wool knotted into the

Plaid wool is used for capes for
the between-seaso spring or for the
South. They are rather elaborate
and mid Victorian in general effect,
being trimmed often with narrow
plaitings of taffeta. Nevertheless,
they are interesting because they are
unusual, and they may prove TO be a
good fashion as spring comes on.
Burnt orange is one of the colors
which is worn much in the South
and ii may persist to be worn here
next summer. Many of the new
sweaters of thin one-strand shetland
