Show Mothers Advised To Knit And Save Where are the crochet hooks and knitting needles that were so much a part of grandmother's household equipment? Carolyn T. Radnor Lewis, children's chil-dren's fashion expert, writing in the August issue of Child Life Magazine, suggests that it's high time they were salvaged from the bottoms of sewing baskets and put to work by mothers who are faced with decreased budgets for the children's Fall clothing. "Knitted outfits sweaters, skirts Bhorts, and berets, in all the gay autumnal colors are on the children's chil-dren's fashion horizon for Fall," she says, "and mother can make th?m easily during Idle summer momenta. "If she is seeking something really smart for children she will .find it in the tweed, worsted, and silk bouclette, effects obtained In knitted apparel. These she can achieve at little more cost than time and effort. They are effective effec-tive as complete outfits or as parts of an outfit a snappy Jacket Jack-et bolero, cap, or beret which, worn with garments of cotton or wool, come In so handy and are so attractive. To make them is merely an evening's pastime, and more money Is, thus, left In the budget for coats, shoes, stockings, and underthings." "Cottons will continue in popularity popu-larity this Fall. The typical Fall colors will be best the browns, rich chocolate hues, reddish browns, yellowy reds, wine tones, orange, bright yellows and blues. In addition to the cottons, the soft woolens In plaids and checks will be very fashionable for the Juniors. They will be worn with gulmpes of white or contrasting colored cotton or linen." |
