There has never been a time when so
much attention was paid TO dressing the
neck becomingly. and it is really wonderful
how many wholly different styles Of collars,
stocks, hchus, neck scarfs, berthas. etc,
there are 10 choose from. One great advan-
tage of all these fashions is the possibility
Of renovating a waist that has lost its pris-
tine freshness. so that it will look quite
new, or TO buy one expensive collarette or
bertha that will do duty for several waists;
and, above all, the laws that govern this
form Of neckwear are not so arbitrary but
that it is very easy to select something that
is notably becoming TO every woman's in
dividual style, figure and circumstance. The
new jeweled dog collars, with matching
clasps, follow very closely the lines of sat
in or velvet stock collars, and a very pref
ty arrangement, where the neck is thin and
long, is TO have the collar made OF satin
and wrought with fancy stones of pearl,
with corresponding clasps. or a velvet band
decorated with narrow slides of French
brilliantS or finely cut steel. For full dress
the Innings to many of the dog collars are
omitted, and lace or net, dotted with semi
precious stones, covers the outside OF the
narrowly feather-boned stock. Another
style is of jet, with pearl or rhinestone
beads being very effective, especially for one
in half" mourning. and who does not wish

made of a combination of the plain and
embroidered OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, tied
in a bow, and with long ends finished with
a narrow ruching. Loops of chiffon are also
used, with collars of white satin that are
covered with insertions of g%uipure, and
they are likewise used on tucked stock
collars that have bands of jeweled gimp or
insertion at either edge of the collar. Pink
ish mauve crepe de chine forms a very
charming little French collar that is made
in pointed shape at the back. The crepe is
laid in soft folds on a silk null lining and
the tie has ends that are put through
a Rhineston clasp, and finished with lace.
Crepe de chine is the favorite material for
these ties, but liberty silk and mousseline
brilliante are likewise used. Four-in-hand
ties are made of rather wide black velvet
ribbon, with a matching turn-down collar,
that is, however, rather high in the neck.
A sparkling pin decorates the knot of the
foUr-in-hand, and the velvet collar is per-
fectly plain. This is a very simple, rich and
becoming style of neck finish, particularly
with a waist of geranium red satin, black
and-white-striped silk, or one of pale pink
or old rose. Chiffon and lace are combined
in the newest bolero jackets. and the V
ing a partly worn waist. A lovely little
jacket of point de Venise guipure has a
turned-down collar of the same. 1t IS lined
with white chiffon, and has falling scarf
ends of the same on the left side of the
front. Another pretty trimming for the
front of a bodice is made of a V-shaped
piece of guipure net, trimmed with double
revers of lace. Down the left side ere small
r%osettes of black velvet ribbon, and the
stock is made of folds of chiffon. trimmed
with rows of lace and black velvet ribbon.
