NEW HOT.WEATHER COLLAR
COMFORTABLE AND POPULAR

A combination Of common sense and COM
fort approved by the DEGREES OF fashion Is
the new hot-weather collar. 1t can no long
er be classed as fad. 1t has parsed that
stage where fads usually die and still the
demand Is daily exhausting the supply.
Downtown haberdashers say that the
hot-weather collar is the most popular
shape Of linen that ever was placed on sale
for mems neckwear. 1t Is scarcely more
than band about the neck-so low that
the wearer experiences the comfort Of a
collarless man these hot days-and yet made
up In such manner as to give Its wearer
a dressy appearance. The styles vary. but
all are manufactured with special view
of attracting the man who perspires and
is uncomfortable in an ordinary collar.
The hot-weather collar does not exceed
an inch in height. At the back 1t is often no
more than half an inch high. while. where
It Joins the shirt in front the ends are given
little flare. which makes the collar seem
higher than 1t actually is. Briefly described.
1t is a low-roll collar fattened out.
The demand for the hot-weather collar In
the last two weeks has been remarkable.
Many purchasers buy collar every DAY
until they have a dozen or two to send to
the laundry. A man goes out on the street
wearing a very low. but comfortable collar
Others notice his cool appearance. and how
