Artistic designs of ornamentation
and exquisite taste in combining ma
terial mark the season as one of I'M
usual beauty in dainty neckwear.
Straight lines and simple folds are the
emphasized style, and there is an
elegance in the simplicity that holds
greater charm than ruffies or frills.
There is a bit of white and gold in
nearly every combination this gives a
rich effect that is pleasing.
1t seems as if the keynote of all
ornamentation this season is gold, and
that all trimmings for neck, waist or
hat must evolve some harmony from
this tone. With it is the little touch of
black, giving character to the trim
ming and preventing any garish look,
or the white, with IL beautiful and
softening presence. The seasons
gold trimming is abundant, and there
is an endless variety in style and
texture. None of it, however, is stiff
or glazing. There are choice mater
ials in gauze, net, applique and deli
cate embroidery. The gold ribbons
are soft and flexible to the touch, and
some are as delicate as tissue. Even
the braids have lost their harshness,
and the color of all these is a rich
CLEAN of gold-not glitter OF tinsel.
There are pendants and metal tips
for the ends of the velvet-small gold
beads, ornaments and clasps to be
used in making up collars.
q Narrow rihhOn with omar, xuOrI-
center comes for putting material to-
i gether. For this purpose there is also
a tiny braid of open work like
feather stitch. This is on the narrow
est line of black or white. Besides
these there are choice figures in lace,
insertion, Persian embroidery and
applique. In the stock where the
above materials are used narrow vel
vet ribbon plays an important part.
One of the noticeable features in this
style is the dainty needlework re-
quired in the making.
Tue new military collar is popular
1t is of black velvet, trimmed at the
top with few rows of narrow gold
braid, or the center of the collar will
be left plain and the braid brought at
each side and turned so as to form
square corner. Three rows give a
pretty effect. The first is brought
nearest the center. the others extend
farther back. A black velvet, with
white polka dots, is also used for this
collar when made up without trim
ming. There is an endless variety of
ties that are simply bands of black
velvet ribbon to be drawn closely
around the collar and fastened with
small clasps or pins. The end is
finished with tassel or pendant. Many
of the velvet ribbons for this purpose
have white or gold in them.
Silk barbes are long, straight ties.
They come in all colors, but white
predominates. The tie is carried
around the neck twice, tying in the
front with knot or bow. The center
is tucked for the length that reaches
once around the neck. The plain part.
being drawn round and tied, gives
the whole the appearance of made
up stock and bow. These are finished
with fancy hemstitching on sides and
ends. Some are finished with silk
tassels. few of the collars are
made with standing rever, which ex-
tends from the sides around the back.
The rever will be gold-colored, with
narrow band of velvet around the
edge; the front of the collar will have
five or six bands of velvet ribbon
brought from the top edge to perhaps
half the depth of the stock, the length
OF the velvet ribbon being graduated
and finished with a small gilt button.
white, gold and lavender is a pretty
combination seen in this style.
In some the entire stock is made of
narrow velvet put together with fancy
open stitches. Others will have a
foundation of gold net or gauze and
bands of black velvet extending I'D
and down. This will be finished at
the lower edge with a narrow velvet
band and in the center with a bunch
of loops of half dozen ends with
gold pendants. In this style they are
all made high in the back or the high
point at the side of the back. 1t is
In these, where the velvet bands are
used with gauze and open work, that
you find the velvet dotted with tiny
gold beads. The. gold beads on laven-
der or white are charming. Delicate
figures of lace are made to stand
around a framework of featherbone
covered with gilt ribbon. The top and
lower edge have bands of gold and
white satin ribbon; the ends are
brought to the front and finished with
pendants. One of the prettiest of
these made of figures of lace had the
featherbone covered with panne vel
vet. and had narrow folds of the same
at both edges of the collar. The four
loose ends in front had small clasps
on them.
In contrast to the stock that &C.
centuates straight lines and folds
come the ruffles and frills OF chiffon
neckwear. The distinctive feature of
these fluffy creations OF billowy white
ness is the suggestion of a large col
