Knitted garments take on airs and graces this season until they become a blouse, then a bodice. e are knitted of fine silk and embroidered with colored floss and trimmed with fur. Others are made of tricot cov- ered with embroidery of birds, beasts and flowers in the Indo-Chine fash- fon. The newest one Is fitted to the figure, is loose over shoulders and chest, fitted to a tight hip band with ornamental buttons at the side, with a faring hem slashed over each hip. A string girdle of rough gold brafd with combed tassels is copied from the Venetian blouses. It is called a bodice-sweater. Some women man- age to make it look as trig and trim as a Viotorfan basque and they give it a place of importance In street costumery. The sketch shows a bodice on that kind of woma t'is of dark-blwe silk,'so tightly knitted that it resel bles faille. There are buttons In the same shade of blue, which fastens it closely to the figure. The sleeves reach to the wrists. The hij a top turnover of lace, The skirt that goes below it is of blue and green camel's hair, its pleats support- ed by a circular yoke that defines the hip: No dressmaker intends to destroy the oueline of a figure by running box pleats to the normal waistline. So they adopt the revived trick of dropping_them below a hip yoke, which gives simpiieity of lins and permits the bodice or blouse to drop over the skirt without suggestion of ungracious bulk. Possibly somebody invented this bodice-sweater for Palm Beach and for country spor But the town woman saw in it a chance to be warm _and comfortable during the rest of the winter, so she took it for her own. It is not worn for formal day occasion, but it is here, there and everywhere when women go about their business. It is under the protection of a coat, long or short, of “loth or peltry.

Most of these problems could be avoided, or perhaps answered, if he would heed some “don’ts.” Don't fitrt, might be one of the warnings for the fair co-ed. It is & the worst poseible taste, and show a great lack, not only of breeding, but of courtesy toward the instructor. Of course, many happy romances be- gin in co-educational colleges. But the classroom is not the place for them. Don't try to disregard the rules. If there is a rule that says no girl may be out after 9 o'clock with a man student without a chaperon, don't try to prove yourself an ex- ception. . Remember that the rule was made with the best Interests of the students and the college at heart. “Just Hats” By Vyvyan Tight-Fitting Turbans Are the Only Good Turbans. !

Always Wash Eggs. The usual way to break an egg s to it it against another egg or over the edge of the mixing bowl and let the contents stream over the side of the ehell without considering whether’ the latter is clean or not. Even if there is no visible dirt, the shell may not be as clean as it seems, for it may have come from a dirty nest or have n care- lessly handled. For these reasons eggs should always be washed before breake ing them.

And this Englishwoman refused'to witness ft! Until Victoria altered her position, as she was ultimately forced to do, she was never really accepted by the Span- ish peoplo as their queen.
