A Fifth avenue importer OF rorelsn
linens, India, French and OrientaI
kinds. displays small patterns just
enough for linen shirt waists. They
are all hand embroidered and are un-
made. They are selling for s35 pat
tern and there are others at 500
The secret Of 1t is that they look Ike
thread lace and there are certain pat
terms that are the very image OF point
lace. So that for $50 a woman secures
a bodice which is made Of point lace or
which looks so much like point that you

Wide Collars and other FrfIls.
A summer feature Is the wide collar.
It Is made Of various materials. one OF
the prettiest being OF white taffeta- 1t
has black polka dots applied. These
dots are Of black silk upon the back
ground Of white silk. Around the edge
there is a piping OF black silk, and
underlying the collar, there are points
of salmon pink tafreta- Each point Is
trimmed with a lace medallion Such
collar dresses up any evening blouse
wonderfully. Worn over black or white
1t really makes the whole dress. FOR II
gives the note which was lacking
1t is the. wide sailor collar effect which
Is liked by those who admire hns dress
ing. 1t lengthens the shoulder, trims
the neck, and, with a pair OF cuffs 70
match, 1t makes the gown.
With the large sailor collar laid on
fiat one sees the neckless or stockless
gown. Frequently the neck has no
other finish than this wide. fiat collar.
And this brings one to consideration
Of the velvet throat band. This is be-
ing much worn. 1t Is wide and Is
crossed in the front and fastened with
a cameo pin. The style Is not new
one and any grandmother Of the pres
ent day will tell you how 1t was worn In
her girIhood.
The band Is sometimes put on plain
and crossed in the back or finished at
the back Of the neck with a tulle chou.
In the front there bangles a locket.
The revival Of the velvet neck band
is one OF the prettiest OF the summer
styles and the woman who does not
include a set OF these bands Of vary
ing widths, and wrist bands to match.
misses one Of her prettiest opportuni-
ties.
And the best point in these neck
and wrist bands must not be forgot
ten. They afford the touch Of black
The touch of black is necessary to
everything and no black is as desir-
able as black velvet. Little black vel
vet choux are admirable with every
gown and black velvet pipings and
pipings Of chiffon velvet are found
upon the most expensive Of foreign
importatiOns.
There are other freaks OF fashion.
And one of these is the frayed silk
ruf1e looking precisely like a flower.
Take silk and make a rufie Of it.
Fray it upon the edge, using a dull
knife If you have no fraying machine.
Make the ruffle full and you have a
charming trimming. One Of these ruff
