And speaking Of this touch Of gold
on the little new gown that have

That Is, the fancy for building up the
collar higher at the back and behind

finish for the neck is the collar that has
the appearance of being In one piece
with the yoke Of the gown. There are
many of the smartest gowns made with
a small yoke effect about the neck, some
times cut down just the merest trifie and
covered fiat with lace. The lace Is
drawn up over the collar in one piece
