FASHION NOTES.

Pretty new stocks are made of chew

the throat in soft folds. There is a tie
of the cheviot in front. They come in
pink and blue and in striped cheviot.

quently. There is an attempt, and it
seems to be meeting with some sue
cess, to do away with the linen collar
and stiff1y starched stock. This fashion
has advantages. The stiff collar must
be sent to the laundry to be ironed,
While the softer stocks can be washed
with the rest of the household linen.
The linen collar is not out by any
means, but certainly the other things
obtain to an appreciate extent. They
are coming with the soft finish around
the wrists of shirt waists. The stiff
cuff takes from the effect of a fine
waist which otherwise could be worn
for more dressy occasions. Some of
these soft folded stocks come in silk
and have double ties, soft white one
under the one that is the color of the
stock. Some of the wash stocks have
similar ties. These are all Paris novel
ties, but comparatively inexpensive.

them very effective as a finish for the
bodice and the f1ounces in the skirt.

Three bands of narrow black velvet
ribbon with small gold slides threaded
on to them at intervals are a pretty
finish for a collar band, and sometimes
they are arranged with crossed ends
finished with a little tassel of gold.
Silk, satin aud even velvet stocks are
worn with the cotton shirt waists, be-
ing vastly more becoming than the
stiff linen collars. The new collar band
is quite straight around, having no
rounded form at the sides, but it is
trimmed as deliberately as you like.
Hand stitching is indeed one of the
new features of finish on our gowns

Some very pretty youthful gowns in
white are made with a shirred yoke
and collar, sleeves shirred around the
entire length of the arm, and the ma
terial shirred again at the waist in the
form of a deep girdle in which the
shirring on the. skirt merges as if it
were all in one. A deep hem is the only
finish at the foot. Any of the thin
white materials and lowered muslins
may be made in this way The latter
fabrics are very artistic this season,
with large soft floral effects printed in
imitation of the hand-painted muslins
worn last season. They are used for
evening as well as afternoon gowns,
and are so thin and soft that they
seem almost like chiffon. Lace and
