COST OF UNIFORMS
PUZZLES WORKERS
How to Buy Distinctive Apparel on
Limited Salaries Is Problem
for Elevator Men.

Granted sixty-day extension in
the time in which to purchase uni
forms, in compliance with an order
from the superintendent of State,
War and Navy buildings which ex-
pires on November 10, many of the
elevator operators are still wondering
where the money to purchase their
! uniforms is coming from. They are
required to furnish the uniforms
themselves at n cost in the netgFbor-
hood of $50 for both winter and sum-
mer apparel All this out of an aver
age salary of $3.50. The base pay OF
most elevator operators in the gov
ernment is $720, to WHICH must be
added the bonus of S240, making the
total remuneration $3.50, or $50 a
month. But from this must be de-
!, Quoted Pc per cent year Tor the
government employees retirement
fund, amounting to an average of
$24 year.
Some of the operators already have
their uniforms. To obtain them, they
meager savings or put themselves in
a financial hole for several weeks.
Others cannot see enough money
ahead to buy the uniforms.
The uniform, they say. on account
of its manner of cut, cannot be worn
for any other purpose. The coat has
the letters IS, w. and N" in gold on
the collar, while the trousers have a
line of braid down the leg. In sum-
mer n black alpaca coat, in addition
to the serge or broadcloth winter
uniform, is required.
Many of the elevator operators in
the government service have friends
in similar jobs in private employ.
They say their friends make more
money than they do, and that If they
have to pay for their uniforms at all,
they pay only a small percentage of
the cost, instead of paying the full
charge.

Knitwear For Sports And semi.sports

Knitwear For Sports And Semi-Sports
Once designers had proven the pos
sibilities of knitwear, they knew no
rest, and as time goes on they become
positively feverish in their attempts to
provide variety. So wide is the choice,
his present season, that there Is no
possibility of disappointment in the
search for something worth while.
This latitude is especially noticeable in
the sweater mode, where there are
coat models-the pictured way. and
many other ways-and slip-on or
p%ull-over models, the latter the new
est fashion. Many Of these sweaters
are hand-loomed of the softest, finest
wool. and their colors are very beau
tiful.
But knitwear includes. coats. capes,
suits, frocks and knicker suits, so
many different trimmings are possible.
Applique-of silk, cloth, brocade or
leather; embroideries of chenille,
soutache or silk; velvet and fur
these are not merely possibilities, they
are actualities on many of the smart
est knitted garments. Brushed woods
and silks-the latter quite new-are
smart and different; a new red-called
'love apple is being shown; the Rus
sian blouse is influencing the knitwear

THE N0VELWNXS Or
HANDWEAP0

MNW ASHTON need not be kept from
c. throwing down the gauntlet, this
season, by lack of the gauntlet
itself-indeed. she may have her
choice of many for the throwing. and
might easily be kept from this finality
of action by her indecision as to what
her choice should be. Which is a
roundabout way of saying that hand
wear is no longer a mere choice of
length and color, as in the days gone
by, but is. rather. a most serious busi-
ness.
In spite of the prophecy that the
craze for fancy gloves was only the
within of a season. we are finding 1t as
much a fashion as ever, so that it Is
quite possible to spend many hours In
the selection of ones own gloves and
those one plans for Christmas gifts.
While the offerings of the present
season are no less fancy than they
have been. they show an inclination
to the shorter cuff. except, of course,
when the glove is frankly long. AT
times this gauntlet is not over an inch
or an inch and a half in width.
There Is a decided flare for gloves
that match or harmonic with dress
or suit, and the prevalent fashion of
the long, tight sleeve demands the
fancy handwear that is so truly stun
ming, II properly chosen. 1t is well to
remember that the short woman. with
a short arm. is not wise in choosing
a deep cuffed glove, for It makes her
arm seem shorter, and decreases her
apparent height. One uses the word
apparent in connection with height

seen. Straps appear, but they seem
to be r~eslgning in favor Of the clasp.
just because we have become accus-
toned to straps, one supposes.
But it is not the length. the size, or
the fabrlc-though all three must be
considered-but the trimming, that
interests. In the average display of
handwear there are almost as many
different decorative motifs as there
are styles and c%olors, which is saying
a great deal. For instance, a pique
capeskin glove-frankly sportslike in
its manner-has a brown, turnback
cuff. absolutely unadorned. against ITS
champagne color background. A
brown suede glove has a cuff with a
curved edge, trimmed with IN APP
plique of brown MORE; but another
brown suede glove has a cuff m
broidered in green, and all the over
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-12-10

advisedly, for height is. more often
than not. a matter OF appearance.
When gloves are demanded for wear
with the very short sleeve or the
sleeveless dress, then, truly, there is
a problem to solve. A glove would,
indeed, have to be extremely long to
meet such a problem so the twelve
button length is being shown for this
purpose. And the very short, prac-
tically wristless glove is sometimes

The Choice of Children's Books

creasingly difficult with every succeed

books, growing rapidly. contains as
much chaff as wheat, If not more.

familiar, and the old stories that were
dear to us as children, we buy with
certainty of their good influence. From

Three Musketeers," Wentworth"

doubt of the effectiveness of fox,
badger, civet, wolf or bear against
soft English f~ieeces, or the striped or
plaided novelty cloths, but the fur is
by no means a necessity of fashion.
Models may be full flared, or slim
of line; belted or not; but there will
be a convertible collar n capacious
pockets, and perhaps just a faint line
of leather piping and leather buttons,
to lend variety. The swagger raglan
sleeve is well-liked. and the set-in
sleeve with wide arm-hole is popular.
There is a certain luxury-the luxury
of freedom we might call it-about
these coats that is indeed welcome to
the well-dressed m 1t is a lux
ury that obtains in the realm of coats
alone, and most especially in the
province of sports coats.
For active sports there Is nothing

movement, Such a suit will, of a nee
essity, employ a practical material

the many novelty woods, and 1t will
consist of jacket and knockers, the
former differing widely. but the latter
quite uniform in their general appear
ance The knicker suits of winter are
quite different from those of the
summer season, just IS the sports of
summer differ widely from those of
winter. The latest models have a
comfortable roominess, but they are
strapped and buttoned to keep out the
cold, and are warmly lined and inter-
lined.
Two very different models are pic
tured, the one of velveteen. the other
of plaided wool. The former has a
supplied box coat, with high collar
and tight, cuffed sleeve, while the lat
ter has a belled sleeve, scarf collar
and straight, ~one-button coat. The
former has a small, slit pocket, and
the latter a capacious patch pocket
and a belt. Stout practical shoes
waterproofed-wool hose, and a plain
sports hat or tam-o-shanter are In
tegral parts of the knicker costume.
