Fashions come and fashions go, but jumpers reign for ever might well be the dress motto of 1921. And the smartest and latest of the lot is this simple little model with the smart tinsel stripe. It is plain yet patterned, simple yet suitable for elaborate occasions. You can wear it in the evening, or in the afternoon with a tailor-made costume. The effect is equally good, and the making takes no time, and very little trouble.

MATERIALS: 8oz. of Peri-Lustra, pearl-knit No. 3 (or silk of similar thickness) and 3 oz. of silver or gold thread, 1 pair of bone needles, No. 6 or 7, and a pair of steel ones, No. 14.

MEASUREMENTS: Width across from seam to seam all the way up, 18 in; length from the shoulder to the bottom, 21 in; length of the sleeve, 8 in.; width of the sleeve, 14 in.
