THE LAST WORD IN SCARVES

CCARVES are becoming more and more popular for seaside and country wear. Stencilling and applique work, coloured embroidery and wonderful colour painting all help to beautify the latest novelties in the scarf world. What could be more fascinating than the charming grey scarf made of soft, fleecy grey brushed wool, adorned with a bold embroidery of seagulls worked in white Shetland wool ?

Black and orange brushed wool worked into chessboard squares and finished with an orange coloured wool fringe tied into flat tassels, form yet another fascinating sports scarf. A special feature of this model is the use of a larger check pattern in the same colouring for the ends of the scarf. Applique work and hand embroidery trim the ends of the third muffler sketch. This is composed of hand knitted silk, worked in the new tone of lemon colour with a touch of citron in it. A shade more becoming to women who find yellow a difficult colour. The ends of this scarf are worked with appliques of dull brown duvetyn cloth on a knitted blue silk background run with threads of lacquer red floss silk. TF the sports skirt or coat is fash- -*• ioned of some very soft pliable material, it is a pretty idea to purchase an extra length with which to fashion a scarf. The ends may be treated in any of the three ways suggested on this page, and the clever girl could fashion a pull-on hat to match. Duvetyn of fine quality will make a splendid scarf, with the ends trimmed in a variety of ways. A long white woollen scarf may be adorned with darning in coarse wool, intermingled with wooden beads, a soft hat being made of the same fabric and trimmed in the same way. Hand-knitted scarves have gone out of fashion in the same way that hand-knitted tam-o’-shanters have disappeared new modes with their decorative effects quite taking the place of the simpler garments. The new dyed rabbit fur, any shade from bright green to cerise is now being worn at Home, and makes an excellent lining to a suede scarf for motoring, the fur being dyed to match the leather. A little pull-on hat edged with the same inexpensive trimming would complete a charming motoring set. Wide gauntlet gloves could be dyed to match the suede and edged with fur.
