THti KVX.ClCsO WUtjULta 1 AorilOW ItKVlfatr' bKOTlUN, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922. i-q New Spring Sweaters for Miss 1922 By Ruth Snyder. Copyright, 1923 (The New York livening World) by tho Prem Publishing Co. THIS la the tlmo of the year when every feminine heart thinks longingly. Intensely and insist ntly about her spring and summer weators. And why not? So let us wander with Miss Fushion through tho maze of Individual sweat era which are being offered this sea son. Sweaters find new conceits each year. This year these conceits are so delightfully of value to tho mode of the day that Miss 1022 can 111 afford not to have one, two, three or maybe more. The girl who Is able to knit her own should be able to have a small kit of them. And why not? Let her nimble Angers knit on, on, on. If Miss 1922 has an abundance of patlenco, she. can knit for herself a slip-on sweater In any desired shade and complete the sweater with an em broidered cross stitched design In sports colorings. are particularly appealing striped In brown, tan and orange. But any three colors which effectively blend can bo adapted to this mode. Tho girl with a sweetheart In col lege can make a two-tono sweater In this style with stripes of the college colors. Thus Orange and Black for Princeton: Blue and Whjte for Col umbia, etc. novelty silk cross-bar designs are to be seen everywhere. They may, be ha"d In round or V necks. If she wants to buy a sweater she should be able to find a mo hair sweater of very attractive design. One model which Miss Fashion saw had geometrical designs running over It. It was worn over a sleeveless Venlco blouse. Tese sweater!), with their Intricate and daz zling geometrical designs, are es pecially appealing to the tennis girl. They are very attractive flashing back and forth across the white tennis courts. The hand-made, drop-stitch wool sweaters have their devotees. They can be made In all color combinations. "White collar and cuff, sets and woven corded girdles with fringed tassels complete these sweaters. The tennis girl will be likewise at tracted by the high-necked mohair sweaters with bltf bright stripes run ning horizontally across them. They xvuiucu v-iu&iuiiica r i mu ti i ill JVI? I H ft - I it m i'i I tit Black and white Is a combination which cannot be beaten tills season. It is the voguo of the hour in all modes. For the girl whose Income Is limited it is especially to be recom mended, sinoo it affords a wardrobe which can be utilized with any cos The leading colors which Miladg seems to favor for her sweater ward robe are French blue, tan, scarlet, navy, henna, Jade, orange and black and' white. Some very effecttve color combina tions are gray anil black. Jade aud white, orange and tan, black and white, Jockey and white, navy and cherry brown and black and cherry. But these are only a few. The choice Is ad infinitum. Colors and combi nation of colors run the gamut of colorings. And why not? Another Individual sweater which attracted Miss Fashion In her Jaunts through the stores was a coat sweater with a panel -scarf collar of horizontal stripes which hung gracefully from the shoulders down tho back of the sweater. The significant feature about this sweater was that it could be dung warmly back against the throat and over one shoulder, adding pi quancy to the face of the wearer. The scarf was completed by crocheted, balls which hung from the ends. Sweaters may be purchased or made with scarfs to match.

KNITTED dresses and knitted capes of wool show no sign of stopping from the paths of fashion. And now the silk knitted things for summer are beginning to appear. They look lovelier thun ever, for since color is tho thing, no fabric shows .subtle colorings and shadings iu the' same resplendent way as do knitted silks. There is so much va riety of wcavo whereby to display pat terns and to bring out colorings. Tliero arc many dresses of simple lines shown with capes to match, each of them being mado of the knitted Billten fabric. These are particularly becoming arangements for the depth of the silken wcavo carries color tones thai cannot be achieved by any silk with a surface that Is loss rough. Mohair is very much In demand fot slip-on sweaters. Slip-on sweaters of fibre silk and mohair yarn aro also popular. Zephyr yarn has Its share of popularity. Worsted yarn Is al ways In vogue. Fancy Heels for Your Slippers PERHAPS the costume Is plain, and the stockings are plainer and the shoes are plainer still but the heels of those slippers will not be plain at all, as the things of fashion are now running. Red painted heels are all the rage, especially with all black gowns and black stockings. Then there are silver heels and gold heels. There ore heels tat are studded with diamonds and heels that are set with cut Bteel. And now we are having painted heels thoso with little traced designs painted upon them. There are gold dragons on black lacquered back grounds. There are Japancsy look ing figures painted on vermilion heels. There are little men and women made to dance their own little tunes on the backs of the heels of anoTher dancer's slppers. It Is a quaint bit of a fashion that has como to please us, but it holds a particularly good plaw in the pres ent fashions. Since we have so lit tle trimming prevalent upon our gowns, wc can afford to do these lit tle extra things to make ourselves look charming. Whereas If we wers to wait until a more trimmlngful pe riod of fashion we would not have the chance to show off decorated liccls with the samp artistic rffrct fH M Is iSome of these frocks, or costume suits as they are called, are got to gether from two differing sorts of materials and they are really tho most Interesting of all. You will see a dress of violet silk with Its upper sec tion composed of gray nnd then It will be .p.irtl.iUy covered by n violet cape with Its pale gray lining showing "ftere and there. Both of the silks will too of this knitted variety so that the weavi- oi one blends perfectly with t"hc weave of tho other, and the colors have a way of sinking Into each other with ,i toning that Is quite charming. One of these knitted suits was a dress, really, made of a coral colored knitted silk with stripes of light tan running through it to make a border. The border, naturally, formed the edge of tho skirt nnd then It also appeared again on the bottom of the cape, which was made quite long and voluminously full. (Another knitted suit had a skirt und short coat made with kimono sleeves and the color scheme was a happy combination of green and tan, the little Jacket managing sweetly to have the tan stripes run around the edges of the sleeves nnd the collar. Floral Trimmings Till-: popularity of floral trlmmlajrs is emphasized In a display or organdy frocks In a Fifth Ave nue t.hup. Three models in orchid, dandelion und periwlnklo have trim mings tl Dowers 'and vines In tho same niatoiiiil as the dress. Others have tilrtUis in (lowers made of the orguni!) oi slllc, and tho effect Is dun nilnu from :sr WSOK"""' Color the Keynote of Spring Styles IF you aro a lover of color then this is the season made for you to shine to your heart's content. Ko longer do you have the expert -- ence of approaching a smart dress maker of miliyicr with a theory about green being a becoming shade, only to be met with the firm rejoinder that "only black is smart." That sentence is so discouraging a thing for the girls who really love to wear color, nnd yet they never know when they are to lx met by Its recurrent utterance. There is every indication that the season will turn to colors nnd with out any hesitancy. But, be careful not-to mix bhem too daringly. Let each color tell for Itself. And, wear always tho shade that most becomes your style of beauty. - Yellow and green are favorlto BhakJcs. They are done very vividly, too, a great deal of the color being used onco it has been cliosen'as a favorite expression. If you are n little timid about don ning colorful clothes too suddenly. then hnve a bright dicss with a dark and inconspicuous coat In which you can hide when you wish to moke yourself less conspicuous on the landscape. But the chances arc that once you feel the thrill of wearing brilliant tones, you mil Income more daring by the mlnufe and before very long it will lie join deep desire to let evuiy passerby so how lniillful the color reilly is i-ky. i. im i .
