~ HOSE smart and clever little anish-
ing touches. those seemingly incon-
u sequent things that tell for, OIL 80
much in the finished result, are going TO
be more important than ever In the new
scheme OF things
The neckwear counters are simply teem-
ing with new and novel couceits OF all
sorts and shapes s-and sizes. The first
thing that strikes the observant eye Is
that collar shapes are distinctly higher
and closer than they have been for many
e season past Not that those will prove
10 the least bit uncomfortable, for the
materials Of which they are fashioned
are as light and sheer, as soft and supple
az well may be, and there VIII be no
undue tightness. no construction OF the
throat IN their wearing. Added to which,
they are all Of them either Of transparent
OF samitrunsparent materials, OF else they
display an amount Of openwork IN their
adornment that viii 90 far towards allow
Ing the free circulation Of air which the
health Of the skin demands.
Although Dame Fashion has declared
umcompromisingly for the high and light
collar. the modiah follower Of her be-
hests need not fear that the dire results
that followed the last hiRh-colIar season
viii again ensue. There Is not a shadow
Of a doubt but that high collars, closely
constricted, do work havoc with even the
most beautiful throat. but, as already
noted, these new shapes are totally diff
fersut in construction as well ne in ma
terial from their predecessors Of several
seasons ago.
The softest and sheerest Of linen, lace,
silk or embroidery is what is chosen now
adays. and the requisite supports are
added II the shape OF little rods OF
featherbone, 5udiciously applied. There
Sc quite a knack in the application Of this
Indispensable little item, and somehow
not even all Of the professional neckwear
uakers-and they be a goodly army in
Themselves nowadays-have caught on to
this knack.
To begin with. there are distinct limit
tationg IL the size. shape and boning Of
collars Intended for different indlvidu-
ais. The size and shape Of the face. the
contour Of the features, the length of
the throat must all be taken into cousid-

with a round, plump face will Ind that
the collar with a deep point in the ecu
ter front, and q long. narrow tab continu
alton VIII add an oval line to the con
tour Of the face which will prove VASTLY
becoming.
On the other hand the girl with CLASH
cal oval face VIII do well to adhere to the
collar that clasps the throat closely; and
especially II her chin be as pointed as
some Of those classical ones are. then
