FOR THE SUMMER GIRL.
Marie Tours Writes on the 1ncreas-
ing Importance of Neckwear-


ing Importance of Neckwear'
WHY is Miss Smith considered the
hest dressed woman at this hotel? sald
orA Young lady to the other.
II am sure she hasn't half as many
dresses as / have" said the daughter
of well known millionaire.
CO.. 7 have discovered the secret,
said the more astute friend. She is
y qirl who actually makes a science
of dressing. She is not only particular
about the fit of her gowns the becom-
ineness of her hats. but she pays just
as much attention to little details. Did
YOU ever see A girl that had such pref
tv neckwear? Why, l had shirt
waist on from the same tailor where
she had hers made and mine looked
only fairly well. But she looked posi-
lively stunning. because she had on
one of the prettiest stocks / have seen
this year. Now, / am going to proht
by her example and I'll promise you
girls YOU will see a change in my ap-
pearance.
And they all did see a great i'm
provement. and several shopkeepers
wondered why there was such de-
mand for fancy neckwear from the
young ladies stopping at the Holly
wood hotel.

Many women, in making their pre-
parations for going away for the sum-
mer will spend days at the dressmak-
er's, hours at the milliner's, and then
20 down town some morning and
spend few minutes purchasing their
.neckwear. This is certainly a great
mistake. You should stop to consider
what kind of dresses you want; the
neckwear. far and above all, whether
it is going to be becoming. Don't at
tempt trying colors. If you are fair,
don't buy bright red; if you are dark,
don't wear pink unless it is light
shade, and if you Are sallow, green
will make you look more so. Women
have no idea how they spoil the e0tire
effect of a beautiful ensemble by just
a little thoughtlessness of this kind.
Another point, to be considered is the
height of a collar. At present it is
true, low effects are becoming more
and more popular, but when the high
collars were in vogue many women APP
peared ridiculous with their short
necks swathed in tight fitting collars
reaching almost to the ears. Although
the summer girl this year is bent upon
winning as many laurels as ever, she
is not going to do so at the expense
of her own comfort. She has discov-
cred that she looks equally as charm
ing. if not more so. when she is almost
covering the waist. This is so useful,
said the owner. Whenever my waist
is the least mussed 1 simply pin it on
and / know l am presentable."
These are just a few of the low
down fancy collars that are being
worn. Why, one young lady said she
had over three dozen of these collars
-, n
the other. why, it isn't an extrava
gance at that" said the wise young
miss. Il have four plain silk shirt
waists and about a dozen white ones.
And one woman actually said she
thought ] must have about fifty, be-
cause she never saw me wear the same
one twice. But I had worn them sew
eral times, of course, and l took pains
to have different kinds of neck pieces
every day" Now this is the case
with more than one young lady of
your acquaintance. She freShens up
waist with some fancy neckwear, and
is able to make her associates believe
she has much larger variety of
dresses than she actually has.

For the girl who wants to play golf
tennis. or indulge in any kind OF sports,
there is nothing so appropriate as the
mannish effects. The linen collars and
stocks are somewhat changed this
year The linen collars are much low
or than last summer, and the turn
down effects are the favorites. With
these are worn dark silk ties, feeling
at her ease when she is dressed so that
she can hardly breathe on hot day.
With the advent of the short sleeve
came the rundown collar. At first
horrible laydown collars. I'll look like
a fright" But after visiting the shops
and finding out what pretty ones are
being shown she changed her opinion
The rundown stiff collar, somewhat
on >the order of a sailor, is trying to
many women and should only be worn
by the younger set of girls. But there
are many others which are not so Sc
we're
Still another pretty model which is
much admired is of white lawn edged
with lace, which falls in soft folds
down the front exactly like those worn
by the men. or those having hem
stitched ends The narrow four-in-
hands are quite new. Many have the
ends embroidered in some design or
with the initials of the wearer.
Among the stocks those of fancy
white madras, cheyiot and other ma
terials of this order are the most ia
Hored. Some of these are embroidered
on the ends with the emblems of golf,
tennis, ping pong or with the college
flags. A few pretty striped ones are
being worn, but white takes the lead.

Although the large laydown collars
are seen much at the seaside and noun
tain resorts. many women will not
wear this kind of neckwear in the city
or when they are dressed. They think
for occasions. of this hind a high collar
is more appropriate
Among the pretty silk stocks is one
Of pale blue liberty satin. with knotted
ends, which are now so fashionable.
The turnover is of white hemstitched
lawn and can be changed when soiled.
For the girl who does not care for
anything so mannish as the plain stock
THE Eleanor is good substitute. 1t
is made of white cheviot, embroidered
in a scroll design of a contrasting col
or. and is attractive.
White lawn ties are still well liked.
and host of pretty ones are to be
found at the stores. There is one of fine
white lawn, trimmed with fine Swiss
edging and inserting.
For more dressy occasions more elab-
crate ones are worn. The Du Barry
is an excellent example of this. 1t is
made of white peau de cygne and ap-
pliqued in cream lace.
Jabots are coming back into favor A
pretty one was of white hemstitched
lawn and lace falling into handker-
