The hand-knitted costume is popular,
not only for skiing costumes but all
kinds of sports dresses, and while these
are relatively expensive as hand-work
ALWAYS is, many women make these at
home and there Is always the aatisfac-
ton of having distinctive design.
Each woman can work out the pattern
she personally prefers and is sure to
have something individual. In angora
wool some particularly attractive and
original designs have been carried out
by women able to knit their own
dresses. One was in vivid red, white

Milady Beautiful
BIZ LOIS LEEDS.
Bony Wrists and Elbows.

RE YOU one Of those tall. slim
" women for whom the present
IN fashions seem to have been de-
4 \ signed? You can wear the
youthful, high neckline, the
high, narrow waist and the puffy, half
length sleeves. But how about your
wrists and elbows? Aren't they nlt
bony?
One can be becomingly slender
through the body and yet have too lit
tie flesh on the arms and hands. Inis
is USUALLY the case with the girl who
keeps herself underweight When she
arrives in her late 20's or sos her arms
and hands begin to look old even though
she may still be wearing size IA clothes.
Aging shows mostly at the joints
the elbow, the wrist and knuckles. Keep
these smooth, white and sufficiently
padded with flesh and the whole arm
will look youthful.
Scrawny elbows that are horny and
brown may de dipped in hot water,
then gently rubbed with a sanded hand
soap to remove the dead cuticle. Rinse
well, dry and then soak the elbows in
little bowls Of warm olive oil for five
minutes After this message the elbows
with the fingers while bracing the
thumb inside the joint. Spread on some
lanolin, bardage firmly and leave the
cream on overnight. A few days OF
such treatment will improve the skin.
ANY discoloration that remains may be
removed by rubbing with the inside OF a
freshly cut lemon. The skin should be
moistened with water first so that the
lemon Juice will be slightly diluted.
Prominent bones at the wrists are
common on thin folks. The joint looks
awkward and usually lacks grace Of
movement. Exercises such as rotating
the hand at the wrist as smoothly as
possible make the wrists and hands more
graceful. Massage helps, too, but. of
course, If the wrists are really very thin
O general gain in weight is necessary
Bony knuckles usually 60 with bony
wrists. The hands need daily care
They should be protected whenever
i1ousework Is to be done and. of course
they need warm covering outdoors in
Winter. Cold makes the skin dry. harsh
and wrinkled.

Everyday Psychology
Automobile Accidents.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Not so long ago heard a lawyer in
traffic court talking about an ''unavoid
able accident" The Judge said there
was no such thing as an unavoidable
accident" This judge was right Moth
ing happens without cause In the
case of automobile accidents. there Is
a cause somewhere.
During the 18 months our Army was
in France, $4,000 men were killed or
died of injuries received in action. The
automobiles are beating this record
every Is months. Between July !. 1929,
and January i, 1881, our traffic toll was
nearly 1000 Since 1915, fully half
a million are in the record. Percentage
increases mount higher for each sue
ceeding year.
Reckless driving is the outstanding
cause. This reckless driving has a
psychological cause. 1t seems that the
automobile, on account of its ready
response to touch, tends to initiate the
egos Of most human beings. There Is
nothing else that gives the reckless
driver such thrill of expanding power.
From a psychological point of view,
it is conceivable that the person who
has suffered a good many repressions
in his workaday world Is poor risk
on the road. It's a case of getting
ahead by way of some one thing, at
least. 1 believe this will explain the
so-called unavoidable accidents"

Some Couturiers Favor

ed at a little distance like fiat bow,
placed diagonially
A much admired afternoon coat was
In black velveteen, with capuchon
back ending in two jabs forming when
knotted a cravat. The high collar and
sleeves were trimmed In black astra-
khan.
A black tailleur In ribbed velvet was
a smart afternoon costume. A blouse
Of black marocain with one gold bacon
in front was worn with this, the
jaquette being rather short and trim
med In astrakhan. The sleeves were
fiat at shoulders and bouffante near
wrists.
In Paris. where Winter weather is
generally disagreeable and always un-
certain, black Is pe-ennially fashion
able. There is talk from time to time
about black having been demoded by
some couturier welding q powerful in
fiuence, but there is no such thing as
a couturier who can so sway taste
founded on necessity, and observers OF
styles in Paris know that black has
always been modish In the French
capital.
There are a few weeks in Spring and
early Autumn-What Is called "demi-
saison," or between-seaSons, when an
effort is made to dress more gaily while
this Is possible, but climatic conditions
here drive women back to black in
variably.
Imagine living ir Paris and being
made to feel bit unsatisfactory and
inappropriately dressed almost every
time you go out in anything but black.
You either undergo the last-minute
annoyance Of having to change into
black or else pass the afternoon or eve
ming feeling uncomfortable. Soon you
get the black habit, and this Is what
Partisan women have born into them
with the precedent of century to look
back upon. So here the black dress
is given infinite thought and elabora-
ton. There is no mournful note about
1t, and there Is no likelihood of your
being suspected of such reason for
wearing it.
For mourning there are entirely diff
ferent types of black dresses. with the
unmistakable mourning air about them
and customary touches of crepe.
Not only for morning and afternoon
are black dresses in vogue, but evening
as well. At a dinner at one of the
great homes in Passy sat opposite the
Princess MuraS, who wore dress in
black chiffon velvet with pointed decol-
lette and epaulettes Of black plumage.
Very adhering at bust and hips. 1t

TN dinner giving, it may be well to
understand the correct meaning OF
the word formal" because few
Il words in our language are so often
misapplied A formal dinner" is
one which conforms in every particular
to the established precepts of ceremonial
form. A genuinely formal dinner" is
the most convention-bou social func
tion that exists.
Let ne briefly indicate few Of its
exactions. To begin with, the invita-
tions must be worded in the third per-
son-most property a card, which Is
engraved in blank and filed in by hand.
Otherwise, it is written by hand on the
first page of a sheet of note paper. In
either case the wording is precisely this
"Mr. and Mrs. Huntington Jones
request the pleasure of
Mr.. and Mrs. Browns
company at dinner
on Monday, the thirtieth of January
at half after eight o'clock
at One Elm Place"
If the invitation is not exactly like
this, then the dinner Is not a formal
one. The size Of dinner-supposing
that the table is set for not less than
l2-has no significance, since one might
very well give an informal dinner of a
hundred. One cannot, however, call a
dinner for less than IL formal" no
matter how formal every detail of its
service may be- Those who live in for
mally appointed houses are served quite
as formally when alone as when so
guests are present. Even SO, it is i'm
proper to send out third-person invita-
tions to dinner for less than l2-br
more suitably 18.
Twenty-Five years ago invitations to
a dinner for II were always written in
the third person, and this meant full
evening dress and white gloves for the
gentlemen, and most elaborate evening
dress and jewels for the ladies. A for
NAL dinner invitation still means the
same thing (barring the gloves for the
mem. A dinner invitation beginning,
Dear Mrs. Brown, will you and your
husband dine with us Oh" means a
dinner coat with white waistcoat for
man, or If the house to which he is
invited Is an excessively formal cne, he
perhaps wears a tail coat. In New
York's sn,2rt world a dinner coat with
a black waislcoat Is rated as 1t Is in
Londcn-@s suitable only for very in
formal dress.

into the ladies' dressing room, where
Mrs. Jones personal maid helps Mrs
Brown of with her wraps, and looks
Mrs. Brown over with quick but skill
