COLLARS AND TIES FOR SHORT
WAIST WEAR

T HE turnover collar still continues to
be the most fashionable as we'll as
the most universal item of a wom-
ans neckwear. although there is news from
Paris that high stocks and jabots have
supplanted the collar in the exclusive Pa
rsian shops. This means, of course, that
In a few months. perhaps a few weeks. the
French shops here will begin to sell the
stocks and jabots instead of the turnover
collar But It will probably be long time
before the turnover collar is entirely sup
planted in public favor, for it is particu-
larly becoming to every one and somehow
suits the typical American woman's style
much better than the fusser sort of neck
wear
For wear with shirt waists which button
in the back there are most attractive lawn
ties which go once around the neck and
then tie in small bow in front. These
Ire particularly suitable to wear over a
collar band which is sewed on the waist.
The collar bands sewed on the waists. un-
less they are boned. are apt to lose their
freshness after little wear, and the lawn
ties may be put right over them. making it
possible to wear the waist a second time
when otherwise the collar would have been
too much crushed These little lawn ties
the bow. to look smart. should be decidedly
small They are very easily made at home
either on the machine or by hand. They
should be made of fine lawn, batiste or
handkerchief linen. and the ends trimmed
with a ruffie with embroidery or lace
Narrow Armenian lace is pretty for this
purpose. The ends of the tie are also trim
med with colored linen embroidery in blue
lavender. pink, &c. The decoration is deli
cate and not at all difficult for any one
who can embroider at all French dots and
little rings. &c, are the designs used The
effect Of the colored embroidery on the thin
white material is very dainty.
With the turn collars little lace bows,
narrow linen ties, small pleated bows in
silk and satin Windsor ties are all used 1t
Is also fashionable to wear the wide and
rather long silk ties with the turnover col
lars knotted at the throat and then knot
ted half way down, while the ends are al
lowed to fall free. a little bar pin fastens
the collar above the knot. and a second bar
pin fastens the collar below the knot
This keeps the tie in place and makes a
very neat neck dressing.
Guns are by no means so fashionable as
they were, but for morning wear, espe-
cially with rather loose blouses or semi
neglige attire, there are shown fascinating
sets OF collar and cuffs. The collar. a fiat
turnover or rather a narrow sailor, such as
children wear, is usually trimmed with in
serions and medallions OF lace. 1t is made
OF softer linen than the standing turnovers
and sometimes of very sheer material
meant to be worn with blouses or morning
gowns having three-quarter or half sleeves
Worn In this way the cuffs are most pic
turesque. They are trimmed to match the
collar, and are also ruffied. They are
rather deep turn-back cuffs. with wide
opening edged with the ruffie
turnover collars of lace are most at
tractive for wear with silk pongee or fine
lawn waists. The foundation is stir anc
the collars are much the same shape a:
those entirely of linen. The lace employed
