TO MAKE RIBBON SWEATERS
From Nine Hundred to One Thousand
Yards of Material Required for
Sleeveless Garment.
It would seem us though there was
any amount of knitting being done for
personal adornment besides that which
the women are doing for the soldiers.
It Is hard to understand, writes a
fashion correspondent, Judging from
the amount of work that the women
are turning out for patriotic purposes,
where they find the time to work for
themselves, but there are, neverthe
less, all kinds of new designs ‘and
stitches being talked about that have
no place In the knitting outfits of the j
soldiers' ktts.
You have doubtless seen or beard of
the sweaters made of narrow ribbon
and If, perchance, you have not seen \
them you may be Interested In know- I
Ing that while the ribbon Is narrow
and of the width usually referred to j
as baby ribbon the texture of the rtb- j
bon does not In the least resemble
the satin baby ribbon, but Is of a i
loose weave and crinkled In appear- |
ance.
I have been told by those who make
these sweaters that it requires from
900 to 1,000 yards to make one of
the sleeveless ribbon sweaters; thus
one must draw the conclusion that
these are not Inexpensive affairs. Any
way, thi'.v are lovely to look at and I
many of us will have to he broadmind
ed enough to he content with looking, j
it is very seldom that one sees one j
of these ribbon sweaters that is made i
entirely of the plain knitting stitch;
while part of the sweater may he i
plain, the design is varied by a bor
der done in plain and purl at the
shoulders and the lower"part or at the :
waistline. There Is one of these i
which lias been very popular with the j
entire sweater made by knitting four
and purling four. This rule of vary- !
ing the design of the sweater also J
holds good for those made of wool.

PAQUIN BLOUSES ARE COPIED
Parisian Bedroom Negligee, Brought
Over by War Workers, Finds Fa
vor In America.
The house of I’aquln Invented a
bedroom negligee that was cut like
a medieval garment with square
sleeves. It was made of snttn, trim
med with lace and fur, and slipped
on over the head after the fashion of
a Chinese tunic. It was far more
modest and becoming than the jisual
negligee which Is open In front, und
fnr more protective agnlnst chill airs.
The wur workers who brought It
over from Paris as a novelty have
found that It Is already copied In our
shops and sold at one-third the price
paid for It at the house of Paquln.
It Is the new successor to the room
robe that has existed for over a cen
tury. and It promises to become the
popular garment of the moment
RED CROSS service uniforms tiro quite numerous on Wednesday and Sat

former Miss Georgia Schofield, and Miss Carolyn Nash have established a
teahouse, the proceeds to go to the
Red Cross. Tills social and benevo
lent enterprise will operate two after
noons a week, when the Marine hand
concert Is expected to bring the elite
world to that particular part of the
park from four to seven o'clock. In
addition to the Red Cross service uni
form, Miss Nash and Mrs. Washburn
are both entitled to wear the khaki
skirt, shirt and Jacket of the national
service school, of which they are
graduates. This very popular uniform
of three years ago when the school opened Is. however, much less becoming
than the Red Cross veil of blue, gray or white. When not on duty at their new
place of business, patriotic business, of conrSe, with tea, toast and sandwiches
at war prices, Miss Nush and Mrs. Washburn are Just us modish as ever In
their summer attire.
