Receiving callers after a period of illness is a sheer delight, especially when one is attired in one of the new lightweight shoulderettes. Crocheted in a fascinating cluster stitch, with the finest zephyr or two-ply saxony yarn, these jackets are not only dressy but offer the necessary protection to all invalids. Peach, soft yellow, pink, sea foam green, or blue, this jacket may be worn also when one is comfortably ensconced in bed for an evening's reading.
