PRETTY SCARFS OF
SILK AND CHIFFON

Although it is now time for furs,
there are still occasions on which
chiffon and net scarfs ruffs and boas
may be worn, and, indeed, there are
some women who do not care tor
furs at any time.
The shops, therefore, are showing
most charming outdoor neckware in
shapes and colors in sufficient variety
TO afford every woman an opportunity
to make a becoming selection.
Among the most attractive Of these
ncckpieces are the chiffon scarfs edg-
ed with eiderdown and marabout.
These are quite wide and long, in the
regular scarf shape and made OF chit
ION liberty silk or net-usually, how
ever chiffon III fancy weaves- strip
ed. plain or figured, and plain or mix
cd colors as preferred
The favorite shades are pale pink,
pale-blue white cream ecru, pale grey
or yellow. The scarfs are frequently
barred or figured in white, but the
contrast, in color are not VIVID.
Swansdown was originally used to
edge them, but now fairly wide
band of maribou IS employed. The
scarfs are most suitable for wearing
inside evening coats, or long, loose
coats of any description. These are
cofor1ess Consequently, when the
waist Is cut out at the throat, some
covering IS necessary unless the ad-
ditional Fur collar is worn. These
scarfs crushed together around the
throat are most becoming, as the
feather edges come together very
PRETTY.
Numbers of collars to be worn
outside the coats resemble the shall
low shoulder capes These are made
of taffeta, chiffon velvet and other
chin silks and velvets. In these collars
quite high ruff comes around the
throat Beneath this the material IS
shrred nj Il rather broad band to int
the neck From this shirring the ma
terial spreads out III full capelike
ruffle. There Is a second ruff1e be-
low this The lower edge of such a
collar covers the top OF the sleeve,
while the top ruche reaches IN the
back up to the ears of the wearer-
1t IS fastened with velvet ribbons,
cords, chains or small velvet but
tons One of the most attractive
features Of this sort of collar is the
fur edgings which many Of them
have.
Other sorts OF collars-those in the
regular ruche shape and made OF
chiffon or net-are now being shown
IN a variety OF rather unusual color
combinations. These collars are short
reaching only around the neck, and
being tied with narrow velvet or taf-
feta ribbon They are made of the
7rredescent chiffon or net in several
harmonious colors, or of several
shades OF the same color.
One such ruff was made OF a
brown chiffon having irredescent
shades of blue and blue having IT.
redescent shades of brown Brown
and yellow are used together, light
blue and pink, lavender and pink, etc.
The prettiest of these ruffs are those
made of net III shades of red or
coral TIE net is so light and da-
phanous that i'll these brilliant
shades it seems far more attractive
ahan those used in paler tones.
A new touch is given to these boas
by little velvet tabs, polka dots q,
crescents, which are dotted at inter
walls along the edge of the ruff.
In the taffeta rufus and colors the
velvet tabs and crescents are also
seen Small knots Of satin ribbon are
used on net aud chiffon collars in the
same way The idea seemed to be to
give a vivid note to the neckplcce,
either m color or by the use of no.
siceably contrasting materials.
