with the weil-rounded white throat is
happy. and incidentally her masseuse.
The girl is glad TO have chance to show
her pretty throat. and her masseuse has
never been SO busy in all her life before
as since the fashion edict went forth
that the high collar must go.
It is not only waists. but coats. that
! are cut in this new fashion. which many
times is extremely unbecoming.
IT was at the Horse Show last fall that
the first collarless bodice made It's APP
pearance. That 1t created great sem
sation goes without saying. The few
women who wore their gowns minus the
stock collar and cut low enough to show
the throat. did so trembllngly. And the
women who say them frowned on the
new fashion and would have none Of 1t.
But gradually the coiarless gown has
won its way into favor with the fash
Ionable girl.

For the young woman who wishes TO

way which are worn with q, dainty chem

When you see the smart girl at the
races or starting of on g. journey you
also see this collarless neck fashion. For
many OF the latest skirt and coat cos

There are short coats and long coats this
season, made with no suggestion Of the
