FadS and Fancies.
In nothing do the styles change as
frequently as in neckwear. The long
chiffon tie, in all colors is the fad of
the moment. They are passed twice
around the neck and tied in short loops
with long ends, sailors knot, or simply
fastened with a fancy brooch.
There are many cape effects popular
now. A novel fancy just turned out by
Doucet is pleated blouse jacket with
deep collar attached to it like revers.
