Did you ever see a more desirable tailored jumper than that sketched on this page? No wonder Paris was wild about it when it was featured at a recent dress show there! It was priced at a figure which made it the envy and despair of women whose purses were not terribly deep. However, Miss Muriel Segal, our special representative in Europe, promptly secured a photograph of the jumper, and Gerda, our knitting expert, set to work to make it. The result is the directions printed herewith, which enable you to make this chic garment for yourself at the cost of a few shillings. INTERESTING fashion points about this tailored jumper are its new slit sides and belt, and the attractive new three-color scheme.
