- HE sweater fever has again at
~ tackled femininity. Shops display
gay woods and everywhere wom-
- en- are selecting yarns and
needles. The circulating Libraries ex-
perience their annual falling off in
business. for sweaters that must be
finished Immediately leave small time
for reading novels. Everybody's knit
ting-or choosing readymade sweat
ers to wear with summer clothes.
The number of silk sweaters is sur
prising. Slipons of silk, and of fibre
silk which has an attractive luster
though not quite the same clinging
grace as genuine silk, are shown ev-
erywhere at prices that seem remark
ably low-remembering what anything
in silk has cost during the past year
or so. OF course, a silk sweater is
more alluring than a worsted one, but
the worsted sweater has it's points.
For one thing it is far more durable.
1t may be hacked about as the dainty
silk sweater can't. Once a thread
breaks in a silk sweater the ensuing
run" is rapid and conspicuous, and
4 silk sweater roughly treated soon
goes to pieces and acquires a frayed,
shabby appearance. One does not
toss it on the grass or roll it up and
stuff it in the bottom of canoe. And
one is wise to keep it on a dress
hanger between wearings. Therefore
the silk sweater is a high day and
holiday affair and most active young
women prefer a good dependable wool
sweater for everyday, athletic use.
And you can't have the fun of max
ing a silk sweater yourself-that's an
other point. No girl would have the
time and patience to knit silk sweat
err. once she had set her mind on a
certain model 1t would take all sum-
mer with constant work.
Brown A Favored Shade In Silk
very exclusive sort of silk sweater
from an authoritative sporting goods
shop is pictured. The sweater is in
slipon shape with set-in sleeves and it
is a particularly neat and graceful
model. To match it there is silk
scarf with long fringe on the ends.
This good-looking slipon is of brown
silk. with white stripes running cross
wise. The scarf is plain brown with
narrower white stripes on the ends.
In this simple but beautiful sweater, a
white linen skirt and a milan sailor
in cafe au lait with draped band to
match, the young woman pictured is
very smart and correct for the country
club or for mornings at a summer
hotel Simple as it is. her costume is
perfection because of it's excellent
style and its high grade materials.
Silk Tuxedos In Lovely New Shades
Another authoritatively smart silk
sweater is pictured in the Tuxedo
model in cool green. The convenient
slipon has by no means banished the
Tuxedo model from popularity; in fact
more Tuxedo sweaters than ever are
shown this spring. These models are
so graceful and so becoming to all fig
ures that women past girIhood sensi-
bly, prefer them to the slip-on styles
and they have more formal, dress-uI

seal browns and soft gray-greens. The

and gray threads. Eminently correc
