6 THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN,, MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1919. DRESS BY ANNE RITTENHOVSli ! f t t . .- - Rutherfordton , Odd and Ornamental Piece of Pel try Are Hubstltuted for Coats on , Many . of the Onc-Pleoe Frocka That Do Duty in tfae Afternoon. 'Woman eonttnua to wear thin , gowns In hot house. The outalde 1 weather haa no effect upon the in ' door clothes. This Is a sensible view to take; a good action in apparel that promotes health. Probably the most uncomfortable , woman at a party is the one who wears a gown that Is too Warm for a hot house drawing room, or tries te keep her furs over her shoulders at an afternoon tea or a restaurant lunch. . The question of health is a big one, but it is outside the domain of fash ion actually. If not theoretically. Wo man will wear furs, it seems, no mat ter what the temperature. The heat '. of August does not dismay them. Fur nace air does not deter them. They Ilk the appearance of fur over the shoulders or under the ehln. - They consider it artistic. Therefore, they have come to the conclusion that the upper part of a frock must be thinner and thinner in order to serve as a foundation for tbe hide of a benst. One can wear talis inside you know, when the ther mometer is sero, outside, if enough peltry Is added to establish a balance. And this is practically what women do. There never have been so many frocks worn In mld-wmter wltn bod ices of net, chiffon and metallic lace. 1 That Omnipresent Fox Now If a woman fixes her mind on the me of fur in the afternoon over ' a thin blouse, she will not be con tent to abide by a large fox swung a pout the shoulders. This may be artistic to certain eyes and it is quite comfortable and con venient, no pne denies, but it is commonplace-. Everybody who has had any money to Invest in a bit of pel try has bought a fox, or something that goes by that name. Cuts may have served the purpose, common gar den, backyard cats; but we should . not be too cynical when a- thing looks wall and meets the money In our purse. However, the fox as a novelty has had its day. One may nay two. thou sand dollars .: for a. , rare breed or twenty-five dollars for something that Is merely a piece of hide with hair growing on it, but the effect Is always that of an animal strung around the neck; paws, head and tall dangling around In a dead and help less fashion. If not the fox, then what? -Thai Is the question. Women have an swered it in their own way. Much Ingenuity has been shown. Odds and ends of peltry have been taken to small furriers and combined with Chinese brocade, with pieces of metal cloth covered with apalescent chiffon, and the result has been shoulder drapery that Is out of the ordinary and has something of the allure of the east. All of this Is what we need the stimulating of personal endeavor In apparel, Individual ingenuity com bined with thought and painstaking effort to get away from the obvious. When we achieve that work, we shall bs far better dressed than today. Victorian Capes Revived. Now, among these bits of shoulder drapery that are worn with thin af ternoon frocks in the house, are Vic torian capes. The shape of them is not far removed from the shawls that the women of Englandand Ireland tie around their waists drab shawls they are in Great Britain, but rather glorious when they get Into the Bal kan ianda. The new bits of peltry are maae in tne same snaps as tness ana nave something of the colorful brilliancy of Slavic apparel. The sketch shows one that is dis tinctly individual. It is of brilliant grsen and gold , brocade made In scarf fashion, the ends tleing at the back of the waist. It is edged with deep fur and la quite capable of keep ing the upper part of the body as warm as a rabbit's neat. There Is a tam to go with it, made of brocade and fur, and the muff, which also matches haa many pock ets inside to make It serve as a bag. the! "mm HOUSEHOLD Edited by Anne Bittcnbouse.

A J'ale Jhat Js fot i An incident JtisAn&vent Sifery blanket in Jtock Radically Reduced Sale Jhe greatest Season AND STILL MORE SWEATERS. . : Don't imagine that sweaters are done for, v Because they are not. In fact, as thing looks now sweaters will be an even more important detail of your wardrobe when spring draws near than ever before. And now that long evvnmgs are coming it is a very good time to look forward to sarins sweaters, that is If you are one of those women who have turned your trick of knitting socks for soldiers to account in other ways now that the demand for said socks Is no more. One thing remember most of the reauy smart sweaters will be short. cleaved. The sleeves will terminate 'ist above the elbow or In extremes Will be even shorter. This is a hannv compromise Detween tne run-sleeved sweater and the sleeveless model. The effect is smart and entlrelv suitable In a season when short-sleeved blouses are to the fore, - As for colors, turnolsa blue I still in very good repute, and so are some of the lighter shades of brown. Corn ' yellow Is also good and gray la coming to the fore, But green Jade green- is ins ravonte, ana sometimes this is used with tan worsted and sometimes comoined with gray. Henna will en J8y some vogue, but for the most part It will be the lighter, brighter shades mat are used. The type of sweater that" is most In favor is tha one that terminates eight or ten inches below the waistline with a waistline defined by three or four Inches of purlins; this coming very slightly below the normal waistline. The ripple sweater is pnactlcally a thing of the past and though one sees an occasional filet crocheted sweuter they will not be In so great evidence as the knitted sort. A very interesting sweater Is made of silk and wool the silk being on the outside and the wool inside. The ef fect is charming as the wool gives an appearance of firmness to the sweater Brevard Victorian shoulder scarf of brilliant ; .-.. and gold brocade edged with even' when seen simply from the silk ; wme noons oi,-aisiu. .n lamena side.
