WEAR.
JUMPERS CARDIGANS AND FELTS.
I wrote something last week about Lane, Crawford's jumper suits, but when I went in a couple of days ago I found that they had ever so many more.
There are
very light weight woollen jumpers in the fashionable lace stitch to be worn over a pleat ed silk skirt, some of them by the way have their own matching woollen skirt if you prefer that.. But the larger part of the new ship. ment was in single piece cardigans or jumpers. These are made in three or four weights from the very lightest that you may be able to wear within a fortnight or so, to really warm ones for the cold days carly next year or for travelling.

The effect is not only original but very clits, and one of tho advantages of these hata is that they not only can be worn with almost any outfit, but because they are so modern, they give an added smartness to any ensemble,
