TURNOVER COLLARS.
Worn Not Only With Severely Tailor
ed Waists, but With Lingerie Ones.
BY A. T. ASHMORE.


1t is now the fashion to wear with any
collar of hand-embroidered linen Even il
the waist is fastened in back-and there
are exceedingly few bodices now made I'D
that do not button down the back-this
collar may be either pinned or buttoned to
the collar band. front and back, and then
held firmly together with jeweled bar pin
above the soft silk tie.
Even with the finest lingerie and cob
web waists stiff collars are now frequently
seen. for at present all collars must be just
as high as the neck will allow. and it has
been found practically impossible to keep
soft lingerie collar band in place. Then
too. the silk ribbon bow is always of a be-
coming color and takes away from the pos
sble simplicity of the waist. With a severe
tailor jacket the bow in front is most at
tractive, as it fills in the flat-shaped OPEN
ing.
At present eyelet hole embroidery is more
popular than the heavier stuffed work, and
in anything like a collar where there is
bright colored ribbon to show through the
open work this style of embroidery is I'M
questionably most effective. If shirt waists
are worn continually, then there must be
good supply on hand of these collars, for
with a fur piece or even velvet collar on
the coat 1t is always difficult to keep the
collar fresh and trim. Although rather ex-
pensive to purchase made up, these collars
are ridiculously easy to embroider and then
when stamped and made at home 1t Is Dos
siDe to get just the right height and SIZE
which is difficult to find made up if one has
an unusually long and slender throat
There are many different styles Of bow
worn with the stiff collars. Wide silk ties
are soft and becoming, but narrow ribbon
bows are also smart. and it Is really a mat
ter to be decided by individual taste The
knitted and crochet silk ties of all colors
and combinations of coloring that have
been popular among the school and COL
lege youths are now being adopted by their
sisters and are worn either in a short stiff
bow or in a long four-in-hand tie. If this
fashion continues in favor-and all indica-
tons point i'll that direction-there Is some
danger of 9Gen the most popular man being
reduced once more to the necessity Of pur-
chasing his own ties
Many women do not care to put on their
heavy furs for month or six weeks yet.
but there are conspicuously few jackets
that do not require some sort of boa or
ruche to do away with the over plain eff
feet of the collar. At this time of the year
there Is nothing so pretty for the neck as
wide maribout boa in brown or black.
Maribout combined with ostrich tips IL
most attractive. and there are many smart
boas and stoles made up in this way.
Brown and black maribout collars are
about equally smart. and the collar chosen
must depend solely upon the shade of the
costume with which 1t Is to be worn
Brown, of course, has the advantage of be-
ing fast color. while it Is weli-nigh i'm
possible to get black dye that will not
rub off to certain extent. Brown, too,
can be worn with practically any shade I'M
the costume. For very little one can buy
maribout muif to match the boa, and for
the present season this makes a handsome
and serviceable set.
