Fashion Note.

Have you noticed how everyone is knitting? We have suddenly become “Madame Defarges,” and instead of heads of victims, we are knitting our depressions into cardigans, caps, jumpers and scarves! New Zealand wool, too, from the nice fat backs of our own sheep—and excellent wool it is! If you haven't started yet, hurry up! Even the flighty flapper who only yesterday scorned the gentle art of knitting as suitable only for grandmothers and spinster aunts, is busy making herself the snuggest and most attractive jumpers out of vivid, warm winter colours—and so cheaply.

Get a pattern to-morrow—“Patons and Baldwins”' are the best, reliable and easy to follow. Choose a colour which suits you—which matches or tones in with your coat or with the skirt you have—don't be afraid of brightness, and don't be afraid of a seemingly complicated design. You'll find it is the easiest thing in the world if you do exactly as you're told!

Caps and scarves to go with your jumper are very much “de rigueur” at the moment, so knit away, be warm and attractive, and help New Zealand!
