Brilliant Colors for
Sweaters for Riddles

Sweaters for little men and women
are most pretentious. The sportsman

smartly decked out as his elders. He

fitted and tailored In the correct new
fashion for country wear. 1t is of two
tones Ct figured wool with plain knit
ted back and sleeves, and severe
row of buttons down the front, as we'll
as most important-looking pockets.
Slipovers are the easiest to get into,
and are likely to stay on, so they are
much in vogue for the little folks.
These have sailor or turn-back collar
and wool ties.
Many Of the sweaters are in two
colors and have woven designs Of
Mother Goose characters and animals.
A galloping white horse adds a splen-
did touch Of decoration to bright red
slipover.
Silk and wool weaves are very popu-
lar. Collarless sweaters are finished
with a woven border design.
An interesting trimming that is much
admired by little folks is an organdie
medallion with embroidered pictures
In colors. These are used as belt tabs
or edgings.

vim is now showing quite different
silhouette-curious models which are
very tight over bust, waist and hips,
and which then flare out in an aston
fishing manner. One of these models
was made of fine black lace, elaborate
ly shirred over the hips, with tight
casaquln corsage and immensely full
flounces spreading out from low hip
line. At one side there was an enor-
nous taffeta bow, with ends which
trailed on the ground. Molyneux also
is showing models which are tight down
to very long hip line and which then
break out into wide, very full t1ounces.
This is a revival of 1880 styles. 1t Is
becoming to women of exceptionally
good figures, tall and slender, but the
average woman will find such dresses
distinctly trying.
