of pale sage green, falling over each shout
der in a 1ot-full ruffie. Each ruffie is
edged with heavy Venetian lace-a Van
dvke formed of five or six rows of small
points. In front there is no velvet, only
woke of the lace, cut in a large broad
point. of course, the collar is crush, with
headings sticking out here and there. The
velvet is so extremely soft and fine that

There are all sorts of combinations

most everything is legitimate, so there be

Or the yoke Is of black, and the cream
vandykes are over the shoulder. or the
points lie fiat and close to a velvet or
satin below. Or the lovely nets are fes-
TONED so that point effects are produced
over shoulders or yoke or both. These
net are embroidered in pearl wheels

and lightly fecked with single or triple
pearls between. Or they are seeded with
fine beads of a soft tint, say the lotus

fiat effects, however, are in much better
taste than the elaborate festoons. A dainty
figure is made of fine Irish point, and lies
quite fiat over the rich velvet beneath.

also lying over each velvet sleeve
Many of the fronts have sable and other
fur bands introduced, lying over seams, or

And when you have looked at all of the
rich combinations you generally come
back to the round, simple collar of heavy
lace that falls quite fiat, in the regulation
Yandyke style.
Your collar chokes you just a little
more every day. After awhile coiffures
and bonnets viii be useless adjuncts of
the toilet. The collar will serve the triple

it's irreproachable from the fashionable
STANDPOINT. Sometimes. when one wearies
of sticking out at just those particular
3 side spots one varies the conditions by
a sticking out all over-a sort of continuous,
& harmonious swelling that is less striking
4 a block off, but more painful at close
range than the side loops. One longs to
run up to the suffering member of society
and release her from the contrivance into
which her head has been decoyed. 1t is
thing of choux-one full cabbage after an

again, and Greek has met Greek and
joined in deadly conflict. In the juncture
the girl suffers more than the rosettes;
although so many of them are squeezed
INTO those thirteen inches of space that
you could not distinguish velvet from
chiffon, were they not of different hues.
