rails used for NECK trimmings. such as
blue batiste dotted with rel dots or
crepe lisse with silk-embroidered de-
signs. Surah is not suitable for this
purpose, as it has been so much used of
late for neckties and collars as to e.
come quite common. The "Dauphin''
collar may lie of navy-bluc stamped
foulard, which washes like a handker-
chief. For middle-aged ladies who do
not favor light trimmings, the collars
are of black lace. They are lined with
black silk and covered with lace, or,
else the lace forms a plated ruille.
This fashion is likely to be carried into
the autumn months, when it will lie
popular for indoor dresses and for
young girls evening and dinner toilets.
For instance, Il dress of yelling or
glazed tatfetas may have q collar Of
white lisSe or of tulle in the same shade
as the dress. There is no trimming
where the collar opens down the front.
