2 THE EVENING WORLi:'S FASHION REVIEW SECTION, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922. , Spring Sports Suits Feature ‘Knicks’ By Ruth Snyder. Copyright, 1922, (New York Evating Wn.) by Press Publishing Co. ISS FASHION decided to go M shopping on a hunt for ideas in new spring suits. While she had heard vague rumors that suits were not so much in favor, nevertheless she felt that to be a well dressed American woman she must have some sort of a suit. As she wandered along Fifth Ave. nue window shopping and making hosty trips to the various suit de. partments, she discovered two very {inportant facts. Suits may be passe to a certain extent—but to a very minor extent. The old-fashioned shirtwaist and skirt have absolutely disappeared; BUT—in their place is a suit so chic, so jaunty, and so ap- Bealing that it is in for a long run of By Ada Newcomb. BOUDOIR CAPS. Copyright, 1922, (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co OU will love yourself better in Y a boudoir cap. And then, other people will love you better too. Unless your hair is the frizziest, fluffiest sort in the world it posi- tively pines for a boudoir cap in its off hours. It has a plaint that it cannot always put on its crimper curls, and when it is off duty it would be ever so much obliged for some lacy covering of some sort. Oh, now, make the cap yourself All that is required is an hour o1 two of your time (I know it is precious, but that is the value that makes the cap lovely looking) and some ends of ribbon and lace, Perhaps you have these tucked away just wait ing for a use of this sort to crop up Take a strip of lace edging about two or three inches in width and twenty-four or so inches in length. Sew the ends of this together to make a ring. This will fit around your head and the edge of the-lace wil! fall! down above your eyes, Across the back for a space of ten inches, about a half Inch above the edge of the lace, cut a casing of net, through which you then draw a half-inch strip @f elastic. This will hold the cap What to Make in an Evening popularity. This is the three-piece costume, But more about that anon, The other important fact is that emancipated woman has finally dis- covered that she may wear knicker- bockers with impunity. As it was raining during .Miss Fashion's shop- ping tour, she felt generously inclined to these comfortable walking suits and their knee-length “knicks."’ In fact the wardrobe of a smart woman of to-day is not complete unless it in- cludes a knickerbocker sports suit. ‘These suits are generally fashioned of tweed, plain or checked, On this page is illustrated one especially captivating knickerbocker sports suit in black and white check with vest of white broadcloth. By the way, these vests are particularly smart this season, not only with the knickerbocker suits, but also with the box and mandarin suits tightly around your forehead, leav- ing no loopholes for the stray locks to come out of. Now for the crown. Your lace is cream color, we will imagine. Then make the crown of the cap out of a piece of pink satin ribbon ten inches in width. You will need just ten inches in length of this ribbon, be- cause you will want to cut off the corners to make a circle. Now put three rows of gathering threads all around the edge of that circle of pink ribbon and attach the outer row of gathers to the upper edge of the cream lace. If you do this with a close over and over stitching on the wrong side you will have a neatly finished job when you ure through. Now over each ear place a_ rib- bon rose or a rosette of narrow pink ribbon, and the cap will be complete and put it on to see how becoming it really is, Try using a metal brocaded rib- bon for the crown and a piece of gold lace for the so-called brim, Then put bows of silver ribbon on either side. This is a gorgeous little bon- net and makes you feel very proud of your Oriental looks. Try making the brim of white net and the top of lace, with vari-colored ribbon fowers on the sides for orna- ments, In one of the Fifth Avenue win- dows Miss Fashion discovered a par. ticularly pleasing three-piece suit. It was made in rose color and trimmed with gray binding. The frock wis straight and fastened at one side. The sleeveless box coat was trimmed with pin tucks, The sleeves of the frock were tucked horizontally and served as sleeves for the coat as well, Quite a few of the fashionable three-piece sports costumes are made with this idea in mind. The one- piece frocks are often made with sleeves of contrasting color, which ap pear very effectively when thrust through the sleeveless armholes of the box or mandarin coats. These sleeveless jackets may serve many purposes. They may be worn with other sports costumes, As Miss Fashion minced along on her merry way she kept these points in mind: Materials to be worn; colors in vogue; length and fashion of sleeves; length and fashion of skirts, coats and capes; and trimmings. And here is what she discovered: Materials to Be Warn: Tweed wool jersey, burbur, crepeknit, cre- pella, French flannels, novelty striped fabrics; fancy silk crepe weaves and homespuns of every de- scriptfon. Colors in Vogue: Copenhagen blue, tun, yellow, jade, heliotrope, black and white checks, periwinkle, that new shade of blue which at present is so mueh in demand, and all sorts of effective combinations of these colors and their harmonizing shades. Length and Fashion of Sleeves: Handkerchiefs for ANDKERCHIEFS for both men H and women are now made up in such attractive fabrics, col- ors and designs that their possibili ties for interior decoration are un- limited, . Some of the loveliest boudoir pil Jows on the murket are fashioned from handkerchiefs, A round lace = one forms the centre, and two squares cut diagonally across form the corners, which are joined to the centre by means of beading, lace or ribbon. Lamp shades for electric lamps also offer a new and unique use for colored handkerchiefs, and the simplicity with which these may be adjusted and draped over the lamp makes them un- The sleeves varied with the style of the coat. With the mandarin and box coats the long, loose sleeves were fashionable, with the more tailored costume the long tight sleeves held favor. Length and Style of Coat, Skirt and Cape: The skirts were about six or feven inches from the ground and were comfortably wide, without losing any of their slim lines. The coats and capes varied in length according to the style of the frock to be worn with them. Concerning capes, these are very, very swagger. They are long and they are short but the modistes are featuring them to a very great extent. Trimmings: The spring suits are trimmed with embroidery, latticed braid, or vari-colored beads. Tweed suits are often trimmed with leather and fastened with leather but- tons. One frock of white kasha cloth was trimmed with yellow kid and had a corresponding girdle of yellow kid. Many of the new spring suits have metal or composition girdles designed to match the cloth from which the suits are fashioned. ‘n one of the Fifth Avenue win- dows was a very charming suit of ov- enid poiret twill with paysanne siceves of bright canary yellow silk crepe. An orchid cape with yellow lining was thrown carelessly across the shoulders of the modél, . One glance at the other charming suit pictured on this page will make one wish for it. The wide sleeves with their jaunty turned-back cults suggest the Orient. 8S SE OES FOTOGRAMS - ee Interior Decoration usually desirable for interior decora tion, It is only necessary to cut a hole in the centre of the handkerehief, in- sert the bulb with the glass ov metal shade and the silk will fall into grace ful lines. The color is, of course, de- termined by the decorative scheme of the room, but amber and rose silk handkerchiefs are by far the most popular, because they shed the softest light. <A fringe with tassels at the four corners makes an attractive fin- ish, or the corners may be folded back and a motif of beads, flowers or em- broidery added.
