Fashionable Collars.

Quite the favorite among collars are
the new turnOvers. They are very high
and elabOratCly adorned with brOderje
Angiaise and have hoinestitched edges.
Almost without exception they are
held together at the front with a bar
pm of gold or silver, aud the old safety
essign IS rarely if ever seen now.
Any pin may be substituted. but g
plain fine bar with a single jewel in the
center IS more Olten used.
The variety OF linen or muslin tabs or
small fronts worn with these collars is
endless. and tiny silk bows Of any color
are good.
Plain turnover collars. with extremely
narrow pleated ruifles. are both pretty
ana becoming FOR morning wear. There
are cuffs 20 match.
