I know a joung woman who has made
a great success of this home sweater
business. When the customer supplies
her own wool she charges 6 for making
an ordinary sweater of average slse.
By this t mean one fhat does not call for
a great deal of extra work or Is not of
such site as to require a longer time to
knit. For the (8 she knits the popular
purled-at-the-walct sweater, with cuffs
and collar and a little string with balls
to lace up the front For the larger
sweaters she charges from 17 to SS This
takes to knit a sweater It depends on
how much regular work sou have to tell
Just how long it will take. It takes the
girl I speak of three days, knitting quite
steadily, to do one sweater. She takes
tt everywhere with her and .does ery
little around the house In theEe days It
takes her a week or more to do a sweater
when she does more work around the
house. 1 should say It would take sou
as long or longer than this If sou have
much work to do. She knits very rap

What kind o a sown would be appro

Haht dress, still serre would be too warm
What would Jou sucsest that would be In
tood form atsllsh but cool! We will have
no reception. What should the brldee-room
wear? ClaAIABKU
A well-made frock of navj- blue crepe
de chine or one In soft golden brown
would be absolutely In good taste. If jou
choose brown, have a brown hat, shoes
and stockings and gloves to match With
the blue gown a black hat or blue to
match the frock would be appropriate
and black shoes should he worn. "
The bridegroom should wear a sack
suit of dark blue or graj', tan shoes and
gloves and a straw hat. Of course. If
he prefers another color suit it Is in good
taste and black shoes are correct. The
conventional cutaway e-oat and gray
trousers are only necessarj' for formal

A Forerunner for Fall Frocks
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
IT Is just as tiresome to me as It mut
be to jou to hear me say again and
aga'n that blue Is the color of the hou
but what Is a poor fashion writer going
to do when well-dreejed women refuse
to accept anj' other shade as their fa
vorite The navj' blue dress has en
jojed a triumphal sway this spring To
be sure, there have been rivals In the
tan costumes, but the rlvalrj- Is such
that It makea the success of blue all
the more pronounced.
On a visit to New Tork, for Instance,
one has onlj' to stahd at some good
observation point on Fifth avenue and
watch the smartlv dressed women as
they pass up and down to be absolutelj
convinced mat ciue nas tne monopoij.
Even on the warm das thes seem to
favor the blue dress and when one does
see a bright color It seems to stand
out among the bluee like a headlight
and the wearer appears to feel a bit out
of place on the blue background There
Is not the slightest doubt that the
blue dress will continue to be favored
for fall, to no woman need hesitate
about busing a serge frock for the
coming season.
The dress that Is shown In the sketch
today Is one ot the models offered for
the fall season There Is nothing
startltngly new about this dress. Not
only is it of the tjptcal blue serge, but
the long plaited tunic over the founda
tion skirt has been seen before; but the
facing of the tunic in striped silk U
different and is illustrative of a mode
at present featured on the expensive
made-to-order dresses of black satin,
with the hems faced with white satin
and blue faced with old rose, mahogany
or gray.
The snugly fitted bodice Is of the serge
and buttons down the center front. The
long sleeves are attached to the founda
tion waist, which Is finished with a fold
at the rounded neck and a square collar
at the back,
The toque Is of white straw, with an
upturned brim of blue straw decorated
around the head size with white velvet
popples

The big important requirement for
the naval nurse has nothing to do with
nquitlcs or similar spectacular and ro
mantic thoughts, according to Mrs Hlg
bee. She just needs ablllts, rare tact
and commgn sense, like the army nurse.
"In fact, the romantic nung girl, un

(Jov eminent hospital service, has learned

hive a superstitious fear of what mas

Hunting a Husband
By MARY DOUGLAS

CHAPTKR KXXXVI
Mrj. Ashby to the Rescue
T CX-OSi:D the door softly behind me.
Iy room vras nil In darkness I
groped my way to my bed Klung
mjself on It. I preed my face
Into the cool pillow
My thoughts came clear, like pic
tures Bits of landscape with George
Arnoid In the foreg-ound. Even ln
the darkness, there. the shamVd
color made me warm They had known
known all along that he wan married.
They had let me go on. Then It came
to me vvlth a force sharp no a blade.
Thej thought I knew he was married.
What had Mrs. Ashbj's words meant,
but that?
"You pretend, to he so Innocent '"
And Cousin Madeleine, "You're old
enough to take care of ourself "
The big sobs racked me, now My
breath came in little catches But it
did not bat hack the truth M burn
ing ojes brought clearly those pictures
and my shame
I iTintherert my head In the pillow.
Then I felt a soft, cool touch on mv arm
Horn one was kneeling beside my bed.
There, child, there, what Is It?
Tell me." the vole was Mrs Ashb's
In a few words, cried out between
the sobs. 1 told her "I had not known
Ceorge Arnold was married They all
thought "
Mrs Ashby held both mv wrists In
firm cla-qi until 1 had Mopped and
w" mJe,f BSHln ,
Then I sat up "I
must go I cannot
stav here now r must get awaj Go
back to the emptv house"
Wait." said Mr. Ashbs', "where Is
our mother""
In New Kngland staslng with ms
aunt. ' I
'That Is It, Sara Lane Oo there
In thnt clear air, fre- of artificial!- I
ties, vou will get hold of jourself again
And our mother can help vou make ,
sou see that all thin counts for nothing
No one needs to tell, me that," I '
answered "t see It all now."
"Oet readv, then Oo tomorrow
You pack. Leave the rest to me."

It was like her Mrs. Ashby. Thl .
quick. Impulsive way of doing things.
1 pulled things from the drawers.
I folded them hastily nnd none too well, i
But I should get away, leave behind1
me this whole hated, shallow place.
I .a tit 1 thrust Into my traveling bag
the things 1 would need There on the '
bureau was a letter. J tore It open
Impatlentlv It was from Bennle's .
mother. It said Bennle should have bis ,
wish He should enlist. Go to war. y
I smiled bltterlv. So she would rather
that than he should marry me.
Well, he would be happy.
As for me, I should be far awav.
