THE “VAGABOND” SCARF
Tlio vogue of the vagabond scarf lends an air of gaiety to the sports girl’s outfit. Most women like to have half a dozen scarves for every suit and to change them as often as possible (states a London fashion writer). Spotted, striped, and checked silk materials make ideal scarves. These should, if possible, be cut on the cross, since this increases possibilities of treatment. The sports girl would find such a “set” useful for bringing a last-season’s jumper suit up _to date. Studied carelessness is the right note in this case. The scarf might be tied in a loose knot so that the folds hang gracefully, or simply be twisted round the neck. A scarf should never be tightly tied, even when worn with a coat or jacket, for nothing induces a double chin sooner. And only a scarf of thick silk with the ends spread ivide looks smart when tied as a cravat; thin silk too often creases together and allows a glimpse of bare throat to be seen on cither side of the knot.
