The thinner stocks of linen, null, lace
and embroidery never seem to lose their
hold. and come I'm almost endless vari-
ETY.. They are perhaps a trifie higher
than i'm seasons past, but then neckwear
fashions this year have n tendency to-
ward making us hold our chins high.
From France come fascinating af-
and Irish lace insertions. edged with
the inevitable valenciennes, which
peeps out on everything this year. These
cobWebby trifies have usually a bit OF
ribbon run through them, pale in tint, OF
course, and lavender Seems to be
favorite.
Rather more durable and scarcely less
attractive are these same stocks when
made of handkerchief or heavy linen.
They have a tiny point i'm front-not

though II Is still seen-and the work on
them is exquisite. II is all done by

conventional designs. Here IS another
chance for the ambitious home worker.
Turnovers are prettier and more elab-
crate than ever before, and. like the
rest Of the neckwear. they are deeper

Is a tremendous demand for the sitter
linen turnover collars.
These collars are perfectly plain some
times, or have tiny hemstitched edge,
In which case both band and turnover
are stiftiy starched. Then there are en-
broidered ones, which are left soft the
band only being starched. Now, the
turnover proper may be fastened in back
or front, at the wearer's will. but the
turnover collar must fasten in front,
and its finish when fastened Is a very
important item.

with both. The nails of two fingers

slowest. In 54 cases out of 100 the left
