An
excerpt:
Teasle Wool Hats, Caps
and Tams, in Knitting and Crochet, are a need of the times for wear with the
woolen Jumper, Scarf, or Sports Coat which form part of practically every Woman's
wardrobe. They can be made at home to match the other garments and at but a
quarter of the cost, or less, of the ready-made article.
Moreover, at the taste
of the individual, a Colour Scheme may be deliberately put together and an air
of distinction given to the finished article, such as would be very difficult to
obtain through Millinery channels."
