the 7ests! would look very much alike, as 90 many of. them are cut exactly ‘the same, and so much of the dye came out of the same package. But that is not 80. They are as different as canbe, For instance, another red one is awfully smart, yet the cffect tells the tale, Every one has seen how closely and how evenly the Alaska Indians weave their blankets: Round and round, with never the slight- est deviation. Well, that weave is like a part of this material, The colors are Mepsded o pretty much the same fash- " PREASTEDP W HITE: /ITH. fon—80 many rows of red and then on? of white. These stripes of wool are about two inches wide, and they are held together with a rope effect that gives the length that is needed. 'T'he white running one way and the rel the other gives it besidcs the necessary length a swell tone. All of the red ones are not made with an idea to please. One looks very much like what you might call an educated sweater, The jersey is softer and much lighter in weight. “The back and front are made of the rancy material, bat the sleeves look just like the ordinary sweater sleeve, with the exception that the latter never has cuffs, You pull a sweater on over the head anl the hair suffers in consequence, That i where the education comes in with the vests. Some of them button up under the right arm, across the shoulder and tightly around the throat. A tape pulls them up snugly about the waist, and there is no room for the smallest breath of air to find its way through. There are some others very muca like them, but they but- ton directly up the front. They ar2 neither a8 pretty nor as comfortable as those that fastén on the side. The but- tone act like' a refraetory collar button that persists™in cutting into the flesh. And imagine what the bliss would be It the button happened to be about four times larger. The exact difference 18 this—four times more annoyance. Some people do not fancy the woolen sleeves, but they feel ‘the necessity of something, even If it is light, So red taffeta has been used asg a suocessful The sleeve is large and slips off and on easily. When the silk is used, all the bindings are the same. The tiny collar and revers are silk, .the pocket is the same and even the buttons match to a nicety. The vests with sleeves are not worn by the college girls. When it is cold enough to necessitate sleeves they get into a jacket and call it square. But the golf girl is trying to wear something that will keep her comfortable while playing and that will answer the same purpose when she has tossed her clubs aside. But don't imagine for a moment that the only colors that are popular are red and white. There are a host of others that make quite as much noise and that look quite as neat, Next to the red ones substitute. come black and white. Some think they are the swellest ever, but the red comes in first at the finish. The black and white, of course, come in plaids or stripes. The checks are the prettiest. The Jersey does not at- tempt to be fancy, in fact that is not needed with the crossbars, Instead of stopping at the waist, they are cut longer and extend over the hips several inches As they are double~ breasted, they can be drawn snugly to- gether, and the curve at the walst is brought into prominence. By way of va- riety, the buttons follow up and down in a straight row, but they are not black nor even white. They are gold and not small gold ones either, No, they make guite a brave front. Besides black and white, greens and reds, blues and yellows, en- tire blues, blacks, greens and whites, There is hardly a color that is not l'*‘l': there are resented, and sometimes one wonders if the ll)v.«:"hudn'l run away with them- selves. "he gayer they are, the better they seem to sell, and truly on the links or eampus they are stunning. Few of the vests are made of the pure white, A touch of red, a dot of blue or & fl;e«-k ulfl black, iuu a suspicion, you know, gives them @ litlle tone thg ., gives o8 € at they seem
