There is no more effective outfit for the winter season than the sweater costumes which come in two, and three pieces. Skirts have no particular cut to distinguish them.

They may be severely simple with not even a pleat or tuck to trim them, or on the other hand they may possess an entirely pleated effect. In other instances the. pleata are large and extend over the front only. The blouses or sweaters achieve the most novel resulta. Jersey blouses are quite the vogue and in many cases they reverse the order of things by buttoning in the back. In that case buttons or tucks or odd trimming liven the front. The blouses may fit snugly at the hips or they may hang loosely,

sweater is apt to be vividly coloured in various tones and the cardigan supplies the plain coloured note of the skirt. In other instances the cardigan is gally patterned and skirt and jumper are of a single tone.

The woollen scarf also adds a new note to the ensemble. It has taken the place of the silk triangle in fall modes and is extremely smart.

Thelma Todd possesses many charming sports outfite and has chosen an unusually chic ensemble to wear in First National's "The Haunted House." This costume is in King blue and havy, the blouse being severely simple except for stitched discs of the navy blue on the sleeves and on the ends of the fetching scanf of King blue. A pleated skirt.and belt of the deeper shade complete a decidedly becoming sports appearance.
