furnish ample material for popping
up some OF your sportswear. Take 4
supply Of these squares with you on
your vacation trip and you will find
lots Of uses for them. There are nice
India prints, polka dots on light and
dark backgrounds with flower borders,
Dolly Warden prints in pink and blue
for the boardwalk in the evening. and
flag patterns for sailing jaunts, al
gay as can be.
There are several other ways Of tying
them. You can make the four ends
come over the forehead like flower
petals, and we have even seen them
twisted and rolled into amusing an
tennae, like the feelers of a butterfly.
There is usually one salesperson in the
department who knows how to roll
them, and she will be glad to show you
all the tricks.
1t Is quite easy to make halter tops
out of scarfs. One is shown in the
photograph above and other meth
DDS may be used. For instance, take
triangle, cut of one point and make
a hem or casing through which draw
string may be run. This can be tied
at the back Of the neck. Seam in darts
from the bottom to the bustune and
tie the long ends around at center
back
Scarfs are also used for sashes and
several may be knotted together, &C.
cording to the size of the waistline
and the size Of the scarfs. 1t is better
to use the smaller, silk scarfs for sashes
and tie them so that bow comes at
each side just in front OF the hips.
Different colored stripes are good for
this.
II you want to go in for something
more elaborate scarfs may be made
into blouses, using one for the front
and another for the back, with little
ingenious scanning through the waist
line. This would do nicely to wear
with separate culottes. Jackets and
shorts may also be fashioned out Of
the larger scarfs Of firm texture.
