blouses has found that knitted
slip-ons meet her needs admirably.
She has them in the shades Of buff
or brown with darker stripings, as
well as in the brighter colorings
that presage the advent of Spring.
A slip-on that is meeting with
much acclaim is of turquoise blue
wool, with bright banding of ca
nary. Then, for afternoon wear,
there are slip-ons Of wool and fibre
silk inter-knitted. One model in
tan is unusually attractive with
its use of checks in green to de-
fine a slightly lower thafi-norma
waistline. Another Of these dressy
slip-overs is of corn color silk and
wool, with vertical stripes Of plain
knit in. self color.
Speaking of the very new mod
els, one is tempted to ask, "When
is a slip-on a jacquette ?'' For
among the newest releases from
fashion centers these popular
articles of, feminine apparel have
an entirety new twist. With all
the appearance of the favored jac-
quette, these sweaters have two
rows of small buttons at the lower
edge, sometimes giving to the gar
Inent a double-breasted effect. But
in reality they are donned over the
head in true slip-on fashion-the
misleading guise is simply to lend
new verve to an old idea.
The mandarin effect in the new
knitted coats is q far cry from the
original knitted blouse that reached
just below the hipline. Some of
the more beautiful of these are de-
veloped in finest mohair or alpaca
and lined with a luxurious brocade
or soft satin in harmonious con-
trasting shades. All sorts of in
teresting color combinations are
possible in the mohair fibre silk
media, including a striking one, of
Chinese blue which has smart gold
binding outlining the collar, cuffs
and pockets.

Save Labor in the Summer
To Be Continued.

THE housewife can lessen her
L work considerably by reduc-
ing the laundry during Summer.
This can be accomplished in sew
eral ways.
AN unnecessary draperies, bureau
covers, tides and superfuous dec
orations should be removed. Wrap
up your white linens and store
them away until Fall. Substitute
in their place scarfs of cretonne
or some other material which does
not show dust marks SO readily
and which need laundering but
once or twice during the Summer
season.
The minimum of laundry work
can be obtained by carefully con-
sidering the problem of table
linens. The table covering should
always be attractive, and it must,
therefore, be Immediately clean.
Substitute doilies for the lunch
con table. Or, better still, the
new decorative table covers of
white or colored painted fabric
can be had at any department
store in the most attractive de-
signs. One needs only to go over

About Your Child

children should be taught the
~ habit Of neatness while they
are young. It is one of the most
valuable assets an adult can pos
sess, for it creates the habit of
clear thinking. Neat thoughts and
neat habits go hand in hand.
When your child is through
playing in the nursery, do you al
low him to walk off, leaving his
toys lying about because he tells
you he is tired? A habit which
many mothers develop is to pick
up the child's playthings because
he offers an excuse. Teach your
child to think and act for himself
by developing a sense of respon-
sibility early. This can be begun
right in the nursery by insisting
that the room be cleared up before
he is permitted to;leave it.
