The Inevitable Turnover


Girls are designing and embroidering
their little turnover collars these days,
for such individual touches can be
given the costume by these dainty neck
accessories that Milady Dainty will not
miss such an opportunity of proving
She understands the art of dressing
A pretty girl all in black added the
only touch of color to her costume by
little turnover of heavy pink linen,
embroidered in black.
These heavy linen turnovers made
with a deep point under the chin, seal
loped or scroll edges and embroidered
in heavy silk effects, are quite the fad
OF the moment in the turnover world.
These collars have not escaped the
epidemic of French knots. In fact,
this odd embroidery forms the chdef
trimming for them at present. The
scallop doesn't seem to be quite the
finish for these bands, so instead a
scroll design showing an almost
straight edge is done in buttonhole
stitch, and above that a bit OF en-
broideTy following out the same design
with a sprinkling Of French knots. A
delft blue embroidered in this style in
black is smart and effective. The blue
linens. by the way will be found much
more serviceable and generally becom-
ing than some of the other shades. But
other colors are seen. Ecru, green, pink,
and white are employed and the en-
broidery is usually in white, except
in the case of a white body, when some
other tone is called into reQuisition.
The embroidery is in fast colors, and
such collars launder beautifully.

For those who still cling to the fin
white turnOvers, there are some mad

of tiny tucks. These collars, to lool
quite smart. should be fashioned OF tn

long enough to leave a separation o
about half an inch at the back, AM
there the ends are neatly held togethe
with a pin as above described.
At fnst, when there was noticed
departure from the style of collar mad
with division in front. we were OF
fered bands running all around, an
others showing a tiny point in front.
The point has grown rapidly OF late
until now it reaches to the lower edg
Of almost any high collar. The medium
sized point is a pretty novelty, but thi
exaggerated tab Is neither effective no
practical. If you have once tried Z
wear one you will understand the az
gravating tendency to crumple up thi
elongated point displays. The fac
alone argues a short life for this pan
ticular collar. Lace tseR is not con
sidered quite so smart for collars bu

straight bands and held together with
