Tn the matter of collars 1t would seem that our girls, and even the grown-ups, too, have yet Il lot 10 learn.
 If ever the classical injunction Know myself" needed practical nnd personal ap- plication 1t surely Is In this same matter of collars.
 The vogue which has attended tue col larless coat brings the matter of the Inner collar right into public view and inciden- tally to public attention. walk down the avenue of fine afternoon, tour through the shops. or 'even sunday morning fin church will open ones eyes to the sins of omission and of commission ID this respect which our sister women com mt. all unconsciously. md to their own detrimept, if not their positive dlshevei- ment,
 The woman who has carefully studied the shape and contour of her features In the mirror, taken Into account tue rela- tive size of her neck. throat and chin, must soon. if she have any eye at all for proportion make up her mind as to what size, height and style of collar is most becoming to her, md wisely stick to that one; or. when fashion demands, alter It in conformity with the passing style bul alter its proportions? Never!
 The colnrless blouse, and especially that of the lingerie variety. has made n prolonged md persistent bid for popu- lar favor That 1t is very pretty style for those who cnn wear it-none VIII deny. But 1t must be very carefully man nped if just the right effect Is to be gained Many of our girls who pride themselves upon some real or fancled re- semblnnee 10 some one or another of the younger actresses who are prominent Tn the public eye make quite fad of hay- Ing frocks and blouses and the like In exact copy of those worn by their idois upon the stage.

Collars, Necks and Neck Dressings
Some Sensible Hints of Fashion News Concerning
 Your Throat

With even the dressiest ot sowns the collar Is supposed to be transparent. Usu- ally 1t is of lace, lined with little soft chiffon, and with little featherbone rods run in at intervals to support 1t around the throat These little rods arc best run in in a slantlng fashion. they are then less likely to make the neck or throat uncomfortable.
 The very newest things ,in the collar bone are of moderate height. and the col. lar that tickled the ears and caught in the invisible hairpins wherewith the little scolding locks at the baqk of the coifrure were held in check, haze vanished. and there is sweet reasbnableness in the new models which will commend them universally.
 The question of llring the collars thni are en suite with the silk and slcilienne blouses Is vexed cue. The stiff canvns Things are far too heating to be com fortaDle, and comfort is what the moder.i woman demands before everything Gone are the days when she made q martyr of herself for the sake Of so-cnlled style Now 1t is comfort that rules. and whatever is or threatens to be nncom. fortable is quickly thrust aside and for. gotten.
 When the collar simply must be lined far the best way Is to take n piece of bias crinollne or one of the lighter weight canvas. This is then stretched to the shape of the neck. the pulling on the lower edge making the upper one contract n little. just enough to make 1t take the shape of the neck. This must it snugly. but not tight, and the fastening in the back-they all fasten in the back nova. days-must be featherboned also to keep the shape. The tlniest of hooks and eyes must be used, and they must always he carefully fastened, else the gaping collar will proclaim m untldness and q slovenll- ness in dress which. perhaps. may not really exist at all.

It is the tailor-made girl who rules the roost at present, so far as fashions are concerned, anyhow
 The return, or rather revival, of the modes of the Victorian era put her rather in the background, for their sloping lines. their excess of frills and furbelows. their nchus and hints of draped skirts were anything but concomitant with the styles which she has elected shall be here.
 And everybody is glad that those trying and really foreshortening fashions are relegated to the backwoods. The tailor made girl would none of them from the start. They were styles that could be re- produced-and successfully at that-in all manner of inexpensive material. They could be run up by even the most fnex- perienced seamstress; and even when the richest of silks and velvets were em- ployed, they did not show up for half their worth.
 If there Is one thing more than an- other that the tailor-made devotees de- nand, 1t Is that their gowns shall show up for their full value. The work of the best tailors Is expensive, even In It's sim plest forms; and, as one of them remarked the other day: Whatever Is the use of paving q hundred dollars for gown If 1t cannot show that perfection of cut, of fit and of finish which the best types of tho tailor -muQc diWUNb ulopity. Hud Ol W0OSe cost and value there Is not n dssentien. opinion
 And he only voiced the sentiments of each and every one of his customers in thnt snpient remark

And in the new and novel lines which Dame Fashion de- mands shall distinguish the fashionable figure, the work of the high-class tailor is seen at its best.
 The fitted lines that shall define the curves of the fgure-there are no angles to anybody's figure any more-are really best expressed in this style. For morn ing wear the costume trotteur referred to takes on delightful variety as to styles There is that fascinating little blouse coat which is so gracious and so becoming to the growing girlish figure. Whether 1t is bioused to sag all around above the deep boned ceinture, or whether 1t be drawn down snugly, but not at all tightly, in either or any event this smart little style is the perquisite of youth. The woman whose shoulders round or even stoop in the very slightest degree would better leave 1t severely alone, for the vaguest tendency to round shoulders is empha- sized in a positively cruel and disaguring manner in this otherwise smart little jacket
 The coat, with its full complement of seams, each one of them displaying either Tapped or strapped finish, and with that portion below the waistIiue cut wtth really smart flare, is the cleverest express sion of the seasons style.
