You can knit a whole slipon in no time at all. Se dropstitch is sure to be popular for the summer girl can make herself any number of morning blouses with lit- ' tle effort. A very pretty dropstitch slipon Is of canary colored silk and wool yarn--a yarn which has beauti- ful luster. The slipon is drawn in at the waist by a cord girdle, run through A row of the dropstitch pattern. Col- lar and narrow e! cuffs are of white angora. Two dropstitch effedts are pictured; one the Jenny Lind slpon with straight-across neckline, and the other the belted slipon worn with a frilled shirtwaist which shows above the front opening of the sweater. This latter mode! is of silk and wool yarn in a pretty shade of gray and the dropped stitches form a striped pat- tern up and down sweater and geeve --not at all a difficult effect to achieve and a very attractive one you'll admit.

And this year the plan seems to be--feather neckwear! The scarfs, collars and little capelets made of ostrich and marabout are fascinating--so soft and so becoming, and such an addition to a simple street costume. There are the loveliest com- binations of fawn and taupe, and of shades of gray./ Of course, gray hav. ing been so fashionable this winter, gray feather -neckwear is Madam Mode's dearest choice for early spring, but one must be careful about gray feather neckwear--it is not always be coming, as taupe and fawn shades al- most always are. And one cannot Wear gray with other shades, as one can taupe. But with a black or a dark blue frock, a gray ostrich and mar- about scarf or capelet Is stunning and one Of these capelets is pictured. The part that goes over the shoulders and around the neck is of shaded gray ostrich and the long tails that form a fringe on the capejet are of marabout, This little affair is warmer tham it looks--or feels in the hand, for these feathery bits of neckwear are so light you could lose your capelet and never miss {t.

The wool mode! is ornamented with wool embroidery-- the very latest notion and quite the rage. The pictured slipon is of shell pink wocl with all edges finished in a | close stitch that makes an effective | border and also holds the open filet | pattern in good lines on the figure. The enibroidery is done with wool in {inner of French blue, and a Nile | black is introduced to emphasize the !

The fringed slipon of canary colored | silk, crocheted in fllet pattern, is the | handsomest model on today's page-- in point of expensiveness. And it will | be considered the most graceful and | distinguished model on the page by most women, one imagines. The colof is a rich yet dainty yellow--a tru canary shade and the very deep, knotted fringe makes the slipon par- ticularly graceful. Knotted fringe on the square collar is another graceful feature. This slipon may be worn without a lining, dver a dainty éami- Sole, for the filet stitch is very close. {A new scarf with plain and faney knitting in' stripes is plefured--a model of violet coiored wool, matching a violet sport hat. Rather intricate is the pattern of the stripes, but an ex- pert knitter can puzzie.sut the stitch without a great deal of difficulty.
