long sleeves which is woolknit to
simulate hand knitting and may be
worn INTERCHANGEABLE with the jer-
kin or over it.
Fashioned after a mans dinner
jacket, the beautifully draped and
tailored evening jacket portrayed
below to the left is high fashion
news. 1t is made of flame colored
tricot cord, a woollnit fabric and
trimmed with cleaning jet. Worn
with black pencil silhouette skirt,
it is definitely winter 1910, brought
up to last-minute style standard by
its long sleeves which stress the
covered up" look featured in eve
ming costumes Of latest vintage.
Almond green, one Of the lowell
est colors on fashions list, imparts
charm-plus to the two-piece wool
and woolknit outfit pictured below to
the right. Here is a tremendously
smart outfit for campus or casual
wear. The IL gore skirt and the
front Of the long-torso jacket are
woven Of imported Shetland wool.
The jacket back and sleeves are
knitted of the same fine wool yarn
to simulate CLASSY" hand knitting.
A pair of two-tone gold clips is
worn at one side Of the round high
neck. The Identification bracelet is
also of two-toned gold.
Ever so chic is the afternoon
sweater-jerkin knits Of fine yarn that
"fit like the paper on the wall" to
below the hips. Interworked are
tiny glittering jet beads and jet Sc
quins in an allover density that looks
as if the glitter had been sprinkled
on instead of interknit This type is
especially smart when worn over
a pleated silk or sheer wool skirt.

charm and versatility. In current
collections sweaters are in such va

SO destinations.
The collection of models illustrat-
ed herewith convey some idea of the
wide range Of fashion phases which
the present sweater vogue encom-
passes. The college seal" cardi-

big news to co-eds wherever they
may be enrolled. The buttons of
this classic Shetland cardigan are
reproductions of the college seal, so
