ri tackled femininity. Shops display
gay woods and everywhere wom-
- en- are selecting yarns and
needles. The circulating Libraries eX-
perience their annual falling of IN
business, for sweaters that must be
finished imm ediately leave small time
for reading novels. Everybody's knit
ting-or choosing ready-mads sweat
ers 20 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 ylow-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 its points.
For one thing It is far more durable.
II 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
a silk sweater roughly treated soon
goes TO pieces and acquires a frayed,
shabby appearance. One does not
toss Il on the grass or roll II up and
stuff II In the bottom OF a canoe. And
one Is wise 10 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 a silk sweat
er, once she had set her mind on a
certain model It would take all sum
mer, with constant work.
Brown A Favored Shade In SILK
A very exclusive sort Of silk sweater
from an authoritative sporting-goods
shop Is pictured. The sweater is in
sllpon shape with set|in sleeves and It
is a particularly neat and graceful
model. To match Il there is a 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.

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 its 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 girlhood sensi- !
bly, prefer them TO the slip-on styles; |
and they have a more formal, dress-up /
suggestion too. The new shades in /
silk Tuxedos are charming; henna7 |
tangerine, puce. Chinese blue, corn
flower blue, marine blue. golden and |
seal browns and soft gray-greens. The
pictured sweater is in cool sage green,
a shade that seems to focus and
deepen the green tint In the tweed
skirt which is of mixed green, black
and gray threads. Eminently correct
Is this country club costume also; the
silk sweater green, the skirt OF tweed
with new fringed edge, the blouse OF
