LATEST IDEAS IN
KNITTED FASHIONS
Materials Used Mostly Cotton
and Rayon Threads.

What can be nicer than seeing
beautiful clothes, especially when
they are knitted by the skillful
hands of the Paris designers?
Shown in the Amy Blatt collec-
ton are some lovely suits, dresses.
bathing ensembles in the way OF
dresses with entirely open backs,
and evening dresses.
The prevailing colors were light
grayish blue, periWinkle blue, shell
pink, and light green, and navy blue
for some of the tailored suits, usually
worn with white. pale pink, or pale
blue blouses. The blouses are Gro
cheted for the most part, with jabot
effects in place of collars.
Materials used are mostly cotton
and rayon threads, some silk for
some of the blouses, and wool for
the skirts.
Marvellous new points are shown
on all those clothes. Diagonal lines
are knitted in open work. crossing
the entire dress or just the skirt;
pleatings are made in knitting, too,
giving the perfect aspect of sun-ray
pleating without diminishing the
effect of slinness and smartness.
A blouse crocheted in finest rayon
and reminding one of the SPIDERS
web, is one of the seasons novel
ties.
Cleverly combined suits have
rather puffed sleeves down to the
elbow, where they begin to sliIr
down and become almost tight
round the wrist. Jackets are just
above the hip-line, taken in at the
waist. with one or two buttons.
Some have breast pockets.

FEATHERS IN STYLE
FOR HAT TRIMMING

Feathers are becoming more and
more important as trimming for
hats, according to Erik Braagaard.
the young Danish milliner whose
recently established Paris house has
had unusual success.
Braagaard even makes entire hats
and headdresses of feathers. He
takes a single yellow bird Of para
disc and curves it cleverly about the
head holding it in position with
double bands of black velvet that
cross the back of the head. This
hat designer is building crowns
higher and higher for morning and
sports wear. The conical or thim-
BILE crowns, likewise are featured
on some of the afternoon hats while
others are trimmed with punches Of
fruit or flowers.

A demure little fitted jacket with
wide rounded lapels accompanies a
frock in allover embroidered Swiss
organdie to make lovely costume
for summer evenings. A tailored
grosgrain ribbon bow high at the
neckline in latest approved fashion
adds a smart contrast color note.
Outstanding in the summer style
program is the evening gown tail
ored of sheer cottons or of pique
or printed linen. An accompany
ing jacket as here shown is a
most important feature. 1t is in
teresting to note that formal eve
ming gowns and ensembles are
created along two entirely different
lines of thought One is the tailored
effect as here shown and the other
is the very soft feminine styling with
laces and bows and beguiling sashes
and widened skirts.

According to the modern way OF
thinking a costume is only as smart
and correct and goodlooking as tn
accessories worn with it. In othe,
words it is the accessories the
make the costume and this is th'
challenge that fashionables mus
meet these times. In the matter
of observing the little niceties of &C
cessory details the lady in the
picture is costumed to perfection
Her exquisitely ladylike straw ha;
is an exponent of smartest mil
linery fashion The fur that borders
the sleeves of her jewel-clasped
crepe frock carries convincing
message in regard to the impor-
tance of summer furs" in the
mode. Hel long simple slip-on suede
gloves are eminently correct. AS to
the handsome bag she carries It is
the accent supreme of chic.

Bracelets Combine Both
Real Beauty and Utility

Since costume jewelry has come
rushing back into style, there are
all sorts of new bracelets on the
market. For evening wear there
are wide bands of gold or silver set
with large, square precious stones.
The largest center stone opens up to
reveal miniature powder compact
and puff, while the stones on either
side open to show paste rouge and
eve shadow. The clasps of the new
bracelets are small lipsticks.

THE WEEKLY crop report and
L weather summary of the De-

that the drouth and high tempera-
ture were playing havoc with the
corn crop in most of the leading
producing states. In some sections
there will not even be fodder and
over much larger area no grain
will be obtained this year. There
were good rains, however, in parts
of the central and eastern areas
and improvement was noted there
in both corn and pasturage.

insurgents claimed they held Huel-
