Sport Bags Accompany Sweaters.
Odette of Paris is showing some
beautiful hand-knit sweaters and
sweater blouses. One Of her most
striking Is named Geisha. The orig
inal is developed in black wool with
a landscape pattern done in yellow,
black and white embroidery silk. A
broad shawl collar, cuffs. girdle and
pocket bindings are In deep orange

fabric, skirt and overblouse. Striking
effects are achieved in these through
the combination of bright color, such

For instance, the coat may be of a
deep orange, the full sleeves being of
the white cuffed with the orange. The
over-blouse of white, having a collar

scarves In color to match the de-

Black Jackets PIaided In Yellow.
There are smart Russian jackets OF
black plaided in yellow with long vel
low scarves having a pattern family
outlined in black. Often there is {

suits consisting of a skirt of black ant

black jacket.
These are much too fancitul, the
conservative woman will say. No on,
will wear them. And the question
has been raised on all sides, vii
women accept these new knitted
things? Not only has this question
been raised because of their unusua
colorings but because the knitted
dress never has been popular as any
thing but sport costume. But tn,
subject Is no longer one for conjec
ture. The public has accepted them
A demand for any particular typ
Of dress Is a wonderful inspiration
to designers and manufacturers an,
an incentive to do their very best IL
