Sweaters Follow Devious Ways

SWEATERS —that wora must have a broad interpretation to cover all the varied garments that are called by it —are going by many paths this falL • But all lead in one direction and their goal is to furnish more warmth and less color, apparently, than their forerunners of the past season. There are so many variations of the principal models that every one can be suited. Slip-over and coat designs find about equal favor, both in short and fingertip lengths and in smug-fit-ting or loose adjustment. Some of the snug slip-over sweaters are only a HUe longer than a blouse. They are usually knitted with a band about the bottom and long enough to extend about six inches below the waistline where they turn Jauntily upward in a narrow cuff. Another short model appears in the Splice sweater and comes in the brighter colors. This is waist length Ulan, open at the front with attached anittad belt extended so that it can

De brougnt round the waist and tied at the back. Knitted or braided belts and sashes of the same wool as the sweater are the rule. Colors are quiet with the exception of some strong blues and greens and In many coat models no contrasting colors are "introduced, but borders and bands are accomplished by varying the stitch in the knitting. An attractive slip-over sweater is ' shown in the picture. Its neck and sleeves are unusual, the former having a square opening at the front and 'the latter deep-knitted flounces. The border at the bottom is of the same color as the sweater and so is the long knitted sash. This model fits snugly about the hips and is a trifle longer than its forerunners. J I /
