Description OF the lingerie neckwear
OF the seaSon seems hopeless undeitak-
ing. for the charm of these little acces-
aories consist chieflfiy in their detail.
Yet one cannot we'll talk of the fashions
of the day without talking of the ehelni-
sor.ss consist chiefly in their detail.
no feature Of new mode is more pro-
nounced than the craze for all these
dainty lingerie and lace frifls and furbe-
bows. Hand embroidery turnover col
lars ard cuffs are still with us. and more
beautiful than ever The chief differ
ences between those of the new and Old
seasons lie in the great depth of the cuff,
which is adapted to the long, close dress
cuff instead Of the old-time wristband.
There sets are offered in sheer lawn. but
a large number are in the finest linens.
handsomely embroidered and perhaps
with inset lace. the heavy stuffs having
been found more practical for the models
of exaggerated depth than the very sheer
ones. which are mussy as soon as adj
justed.
The reign of the elbow sleeve has, of
course, interfered, with the turnover cuff,
but there are still many long sleeves and
ale makers of collars and cuffs have met
conditions to a certain extent by provid-
ing few models, the cuff of which can
be adjusted to oare back or lie fatty
over an elbow sleeve. There are shown
two straight embroidered collars of linen
with tab fronts en suite with straight EN-
broidered cuffs TO be lad fat over the
snug plain elbow cuffs that appear upon
mary short sleeves.
All sort of bodfces. from the so-cailed
blouse of the shirtwaist frock to the
bodice of the elaborate gown, show little
guimpes filing V shape or shaped
openings at the throat, and though fire.
quentIy these guimpes or chenlisettes are
integral parts Of the froek they are very
often removed so that they may be
cleaned without cleaning the whole
bodice The shops are full of such dainty
are not to be adjustable, it is often worth
while to buy one of the ready-made
guimpes because one can find models
more artistic and more charming than
can be turned out by the average dress
maker. Ready-made guimpes and cuffs
as rule require some fitting, and when
this is the case one should be sure to Sc
dect a guimpe whose design will permit
alteration without great difficulty. The
long cuffs are almost always made ex-
ceedsngly large, so that they may be
adapted to any arm but making these
smaller is not a difficult task, and often
setting over buttons win be all that is
necessary.
The most assractive among the chemi-
settes are of linen, of the toile d'ancienne,
beautifully embroidered by hand and in
set after the manner so pronounced in
the new enlbroideries with little motifs of
lace surrounded by embroidery. There
are too innumerable collar and yoke ar
rangements to be worn over bodice or
blouse instead Of underneath in the usual
guimpe or chemisette fashion. These,
Ike the guimpes Of the season. are usual
rather shallow. Shallow, r5und
