Show f T IS fairly bewildering, the w 13 sweater styles change nowadays. 1 in., used to 1 good i I able sweater to last for several sea-isons; sea-isons; now a sweater is rather a thing ! of beauty than a joy forever. It keep? j knitting needles and crochet hooks fly ' ing. to be in the fashion in sweaters these days; for no sooner Is one attractive at-tractive style launched than another takes Its place. One would have supposed that the filet crochet sweaters which were the rage only last spring would have occupied oc-cupied the highest pinnacle of sweater smartness through this winter at least; ! but something else has come along to supplant them the hand-embroidered sweater of woven fabric. These embroidered em-broidered sweaters are the dernier cci now. Four very s'unning embroidered sweaters arp pictured and if you think you can copy any of them, set to work at once: for these- embroidered sweat ers are goinc to bo the rage. And so soft and dainty they are that one suspects sus-pects manyof them will be slipped on ' In place of an ord.nary blouse for house wear on cold winter mornings. All of the pictured sweaters save one are of woven fabric. The exception Is a knitted model, made In close ribbed stitch with very fine yarn. This sweat er might also be made of trlcolette which is a popular material for gar ments of the more exclusive class. The ribbed sweater Is embroidered with chenille in scattered, conventional I floral motifs and the neck and slash ' down tho front are finished with a running stitch done with very heavy chenille, a lacing of the chenille fas-I fas-I toning the slashed opening together j over the chest in the same picture Is 1 a simple model of wool Jersey cm-I cm-I broidred with silk floss In a conven-I conven-I tion daisy design. The ends of the ! sleeves which flare a little n the ' wrist are finished with a dot and buttonhole but-tonhole stitch. This sweater, or sllpon as it should be properly called, has an opening at the shoulder which closes with hidden snap-fasteners. A.s to colors: One selects her own colors and there ls not the least danger of ! getting them too bright or too varied. The new embroidered slipons are very warm and gay In color though the best models arc In soft rather than 'crude shades, and fh shades are har-1 har-1 monlously blended The ribbed sllpon 'is sago green in lone with chenille em. I broideries in rusty orange and black: j the chenille lacing at the slash Is black, so are the tassels on the sash The other slipon in this picture Is cerise color with embroidery in self 1 tone. j Both the sllpon sweaters In the other Illustration are made of wool Jersey One model has a round neck and very Mght sleeves; the other has a V shaped neck opening with a laccd-up ; sla.sh below, and sleeves that flare slightly at the wrist. The first model ls in a soft smoke gray shade with silk floss embroidery in gray and blue; the second model Is orange with chcnllic embroidery In rust color and lighter orange. The cord girdle is rust colored. col-ored. If you have a wool Jersey skirt that you will not need this reason, rip it apart and make a sllpon swea'er for cool mornings out of the brc.idi'i- i If there is not enough material for! sleeves, havo your slipon sleeveless and finish the arm holes with buttonhole button-hole stitch done with heavy si!k flos 1 or chenille; putting some embio.d. pj in a simple pattern around the neck j opening and around the lower edge ot the slipon if you like. Some of the new autumn sweaters combine knitting and crocheting. There will be an upper part and sleeves of knitted wool and a full peplum and sleeve frills of lilet crochet; or the sweater and sleeves may be of filet crochet, with a wide purled belt and wristlet cuffs put in with knitting needles. A quaint slipon for the slender young girl ha u very 1 full peplum that flares out beiow a snuc purled waistband, the upper part of the, garment fitting the lines of the! figure closely far toa closely one thinks, in some instances, for many young girls who should have more W ;' ' III 1 I I- W ' I 'W' A Knitted Slipon Aud One Of "l .1- 1 - v ; r. in lH-t- waled With Vain And j Fbs I.mbi.idi.

In spite of the intriguing new embroidered em-broidered sweaters of tricolette and wool Jersey, the silk filet crochet sweaters remain the prettiest and most fascinating models in sweater wear that have ever been launched. They are becming to every woman and give the simplest sport costume a distinguished, distin-guished, dress-up suggestion and the colors of the silk floss used to make them are rich and beautiful. They are really not difficult to fashion after one has learned to decipher the instructions in-structions for crochet work nlways rahcr puzzling at flrsl and a sleeveless sleeve-less sllpon of filet crochet can be made !n very short time.
