Madame Loves

This" said the up-to-date girl. as she
! pointed to one of two boxes which almost
| filled her dresser drawer. us the box Tor
| tailored shirt waist stocks. The other Is
| full of fancy neckwear.
| She made distinction which holds good
| in the shop windows and on neckwear
| counters this fall The shirt waists OF
| English vestings are too mannish In effect
| to look well with fluffy furbelows.
For shirt waist or dress waist?'
| the clerk asks the would-be purchaser. If
| the reply indicates the former, he turns
| to one section of the counter. where there
are linen collars. stiffly Numbered. But
| they are not the linen collars of other
years. Some have scalloped edges. others
are embroidered in white or colors. while
still others are inserted with embroidery
or lace medallions. Most of them have
| cuffs to match.
| A dainty collar and cuff set Is of white
linen with the scalloped edges bound with
| a band of vivid blue linen. Within this
| runs a line of dots of varying size hand
embroidered In heavy linen thread IN tne
same shade of blue. The collar Is further
| embelliShed with bishop tap similarly
bound and embroidered.
| Many of the new stocks have stock and
| tab all In one piece and cut so as 10 III

| ton is made in three tucked sections. The
front Is ornamented with four appliqued
| circles of pale green linen each worked
| with a star in white embroidery SILK
Collar and Cuff Sets.
The craze for Bulgarian embroidery has
1 brought some pretty collar and cuff sets.
| The vivid colors are contrasted with str,k-
ing effect Nor are the imported models
| difficult to initiate. The prudent girl has
| spent some of the summer days emorolder-
| ing herself a number of sets. The stitches
are easy and the work progressed rapidly
| on account of the coarse thread used in the
| embroidery. Blue and red or green and
| blue are good combinations for any odd
| sketchy pattern on white or ecru linen;
| Ecru color is the best foundation for these
! Bulgarian embroideries, as 1t furnishes a
better imitation of the imported sets. Pom
gee silk is the foundation for some OF the
most stylish ones. Some Japanese effects
can be obtained by using odd Shapes OF
blue on the pOngee.
The number of tabs have multiplied on
the stocks. This probably marks the last
stages of this popular style. 1t IS the eli
max which comes before the decline A
stock of fine white linen has rods of feather
bone introduced at the sides and back to
make it retain it's shape The collar is or
namented with stitched bands embroidered
with coin dots in a scarlet silk thread. The
five long pointed tabs which form decora-
ton in the front are similarly embroidered
with scarlet dots.
Cords and Tassels.
Many of the stocks with tabs have each
tab finished off with a cord and tassel orna-
ment. One stock with an unusually wide
bishop tab of pleated white linen has the
tab finished by fringe of linen tassels.
The same plan is followed on many of the
more elaborate silk neckpieces, but the
fringe is always of silk or of ribbon knots
and ends.
A distinctively new feature of the more
dressy stocks are the bows. Dainty lace
and embroidery turnOvers are ready
mounted on silk stocks and the front Of
the stock is ornamented by a saucy bow
Of the same silk. The turnover is often
deep enough to resemble a rolling collar
and can be worn without foundation
stock. 1t is fastened in the front by wide
silk tie. whose ends hang down quite lit
tie distance after the bow is tied
Tied in Front Now.
The neck bow has come at the back for
so long a time that these front bows have
a decided air of novelty. The bow is fire.
quently drawn through a buckle of silver
gilt gun metal. 1t gives a smart effect.
A dressy stock is of white chiffon laid in
folds over a stock foundation of white silk.
The splurging bow of the chiffon which or
naments the front is drawn through an
oval rhinestone buckle.
One of the newest stocks is of white linen
stitched in black. A black MORE bow is
kept in place in front by two pearl buttoned
straps: but it can be easily removed to ia
cilitate laundering Even prettier effects
are obtained by using bows of various col
ors, with collar stitching to match.
An odd collar. which is imported from
England consists of number of metal
slides joined by chains. These furnish sup
port for ribbon. silk or chiffon, which are
drawn through them to form a stock The
collar is fastened either In the. front or the
back, and the join hidden by bow of the
fabric used
Models Are Lovely.
There is no lack Of prettiness in the realm
of the more elaborate neckwear. This fall
sees the recurrence Of styles of several
years back Among these are the wide silk
ties. with the ends trimmed with lace ap-
