Tho ostrich feather boa has been .
summer standby for many seasons past
and 10 still desirable, but many variations
have been rung upon 1t within the last few
years. This summer the variety In neck
soarfs, ruohes and stoles Is even greater
than usual and some Of the new things are
very attractive.
Moreover, some Of them are oompara-
lively inexpensive, and that IL something
that could never be said Of the ostrich
feather boa. The fat broad soarfs or
stoles Of ostrich feathers are quito as ex-
pensive but hardly 30 becoming as the
boa. but they are we'll liked. and like tho
round boa. have taken on new shadings and
color combinations.
The fat scarfs often shade through tones
Of one color and are to be had In any Of the
seasons oolorings Marabou scarfs Of Ell MI
lar size and shape are also offered In many
colorings, and there are little cravats
similar in shape to those made In fur last
winter, but fashioned now OF ostrich,
marabou, chiffon, tulle or Lace.
These cravats, meant to encirole the
throat and CROSS In front or on the shout.
dor, are made in varying lengths as were
the fur cravats, but one Of tho most at
tractive models is comparatively short
One rounded end is caught up across the
other with a little cluster Of artificial
flowers, matching in color the hat or frock
with which the cravat is worn.

chiffon or valenciennes lace. this model
Is charming accompaniment to tho light
summer frock and will often supplement
the transparent collar and ohemisette or
guimpe very acoeptably. There are, too,
similar scarfs OF soft lace laid over sheer
silk with yelling Of chiffon, and bordered
by a narrow line Of ostrich or marabou
or by ruching of little frls Of lace or
silk.
Long straight scarfs are made. Ike the
little cravats. Of little overlapping frills Of
sheer stuff or lace. and one beautiful i'm
ported scarf of this shape had triple friils Of
chiffon for border, while the center Of
the scarf was covered throughout its length
by huge white silk ard velvet peoples with
touches Of yellow and green at their hearts.
The peoples we're applied fatty to chiffon
and silk foundation and their great. loose.
crinkled silk outer petals overlapped each
other.
In the realm Of the sheer soft shoulder
scarf that has been so popular for two
years past and shows no sign of having fallen
into disfavor there is almost endless variety.
The hand painted. embroidered, and lace
trimmed scarfs of silk mousseline or chiffon
are lovel!er than ever as are the scarfs Of
the same materials and of Grape and sheer
silk, painted 10 floral or conventionalized
designs.
The plain scarfs Of lace, too, retain their
prestige and there is nothing handsomer
or more effective than the oriental looking
scarfs that were introduced last winter in
coarse black or white silk net heavily en-
broidered with cleaning gold or silver 30
that they cling closely and fall heavily
despite their transparent material. These
are expensive, but wonderfully effective.
and extremely becoming to some women.
The craze for embroidery on fine lingerie
stuffs has extended to the scarfs, and i'm
porters have brought over French scarfs
Of fine null and batiste. exquisitely hand
embroidered, and sometimes lace trimmed
One Of the prettiest has scalloped and but

design at each rounded end and little finely
embroidered sprigs scattered all over its
surface.
Another. with square ends, is hemstitched
all around, and just inside the hem runs a
garland design Of embroidery. These
lingerie scarfs are Of course easily mussed
and soiIed, but they can be pressed and
