BOYS' AND
Wonderful Woolknit
BY ALICE ALDEN
THETHER facing the first days of spring in the cold
resort, the well-handled knit dress is always right, and it makes an elegant cruise passenger too. Barbara Carol effectively hand crochets a bold boxy plaid onto a pure wool knobby knit chenille dress. New and very attractive is the open-throat neckline that is spiced by a single line of contrasting knit. Another style note not usually found in woolknits is the cuffed sleeve. This model comes in beautiful colour combinations, we might note, whether for dark or sunny sky wear.
