the bust line leaves a small V-shaped
neck and the points fall loosely down
the front tn the same shape.
The fall Elton is long in front and
rather sharply pointed; the back is cut
off Just to the belt line, sometimes
showing the belt, and sometimes COW
ering it. The front OF the Elton ex-
tends far below the belt, and, viewed
from the front, looks. exactly like the
uoint of a pen. The tabs meet all the
way down the front and are only an
inch or less wide at the point.
They are lining the little coats with
a material to match the under-skirt,
thus giving undeniaible proof that 1t is
a whole suit. and not shirt waist and
separate skirt.
For the Neck.
There is one article OF dress which
must not be forgotten when you go to
the shops ito make your fall purchases.
ilhis is the necker.
More than ever this winter we viii
see the fancy necker, and fashion kind
ly permits us to let our fancy wander
into the past and bring forth bows and
ruffies that belonged to our grandma's,
yes. and even our great-grandma's, ear
ly days.
The tucking, and hem stitching, sim
liar to that over which our dear re-
membered predecessors labored with
untirlng hands, lies ready for us, on
moments notice, to make into dainty
neckers which must have taken them
many days to prepare.
There is the rever, which, worn with
a plain shirt waist, will produce most
charming effect. These revers are
made with a collar in the back not I'M
like that OF mans coat, trifie wider
but as fiat, and as well turned as that
of a tailor made garment. This al
most meets the point of the rever which
tapers from the shoulders to the waist
line and disappears in the belt. These
are made of lawn tucked in groups and
combined with insertion of either a
fine embroidery or lace. Around the
edge is added a dainty lace ruffle which
may either be narrow or wide as the
fancy of the wearer dictates.

introduced to the pretty shopper is on
the same order of decoration, except
that instead of the one long rever there
are numbers of small points of the lace
and tucked material overlapping one
another, and disappearing in the tin
lest triangular piece at the waist line.
To wear with the Elton jacket, fronts
have been provided The collar is mad
erately high, but very soft. From the
back, where the collar fastens, two ties
are brought around to the front, the
ends are deliberately tucked, and edged
with lace. There are tied in a loose
bow. fastned with a pin, which by
the-way must be an ornament contain
ing the possessor's birthstone; and
from the neck the lacy ends mingle
with the front, which is composed OF
nothing but lace ruffied, full. The lace
must not be over two and half in
ches wide, but the ruffles lap at least
half an inch, and, when gathered into
blouse at the waist line, we have an
almost exact reproduction of the ruff

There has been introduced by the
smart set tie of soft China silk. This
tie isla yard and a half long, and can
be made by an ingenious girl in less
than half an hour.
The silk is doubled and then cut, on
the straight, into strips of yard and
a half long and four inches wide. The
one side which has been cut is then
sewed up, the strip turned, the two
ends gathered and drawn into as little
space as possible, then to the ends OF
this tie two silky tasSels are added
One may, if she choose, use two tassels
on each end The tie is made into a
loose knot after being brought around
the stock, and the ends fall nearly to
the waist line
Very nattly little bows are the af-
feta ties. They are hem-stitched, and
about the edge, is a very narrow shir-
ring of ribbon, not more than a quar-
ter or an inch wide.
Batiste embroidery is gaining fast in
the favor of the business woman. The
batiste callor is soft, and yet firm. il
