A Knitted Wool Tube Has Many Wardrobe Uses

By ALICIA HART A KNITTED woolen tube,

which any girl who can knit ,

will find easy to make, is worth the time it takes because of the .many roles it can fill in a wardrobe. It can double now as a chic stranless top for an anklelength skirt and keep. a topknot warm for the remainder of the ‘winter, Com: spring and summer, the tube can continue as a sturdy top for swim or sun shorts, we Such a top takes only five

ounces of fingering yarn, a

circular knitting needle, and a little spare time to make. The thing to remember when knitting is to cast-on enough stitches for the circumference: of the body. The top should fit the body snugly. Girls who want

For variety, a girl might use metallic yarn for knitting her “tube,” trim it with seed pearls, or knit it in a simple design. To transform the top to a helmet all that needs to be done is to pull ft on over the head. When its winter duties are over, the tubular top can team up with trunks in matching. or contrasting colors and continue right into the fashion swim.

And designed to make their wearers look that way. Perhaps the prettiest aspect of the season is the revived vogue for wearing artificial flowers . .. pretty ones as real and natural looking as any ever tended by Mistress Mary. All varieties, in their real-life colors, “bloom” on spring costumes. . A thou of carnations, pink, red, yellow or white, nestles high on the collar of a suit. A little pastel rose peeks out from the point of a V neckline: A cluster of miniature daffodils spills from the cornucopia roll of a collar. Or you can have a pocketful of posies (baby daisies in the picture).

{notes that dyes, finishes and trims

may not always be washable. For this reason, many manufacturers attach directions to their products telling whether to wash or dry clean.

Preferred Method

Laundering by hand is the preferred washing method for nylon garments that have delicate trimmings and construction. Machine

washing is practical if seam con- | struction and trim show no like-

lihood of fraying. Strong bleaches should be used carefully as they will weaken nylon just as they will other fibers. When necessary for removing stains that won't come out with sudsing. the amount recommended for a normal cotton bleach should be satisfactory for nylon. Bluing white nylon is needless. However, the garment will suffer no harm when washed in the same water with others that require bluing.
