NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
Collars, Lace and JeweIry That Is in
Good Taste.
(By Catherine Mann-Payzant.)

NEW YORK, May MANY new
and novel designs in collars, belts,
Jewelry and other articles of per-
sonal adornment, which add so much
to the appearance Of the well-dressed
woman, are now being shown in New
York shops.
The round turnover collar is as
fashionable as ever for some kinds
OF waist, and there is a penchant
just now for striped collars, the strips
running up and down the collar. 1t
Is very high, but all collars are high
at present and those of fine thin
materials are held In place by tiny
supporters that carry the points high
behind the ears.
A new collar intended for a young
girl, or one who has kept her plump
freshness of youth Of neck, is Of the
low turnover style slashed into the
ends, which buttons tightly to the
waist. A color tie passes under the
tabs and is knotted in front. This is
a pretty style for a linen dress.
A collar that is a novelty is shaped
to the figure with bands running from
the sides down over the shoulders
and arms to the cuffs. This is good
style for one whose shoulders are
rather too square, as 1t gives length
to such a one and slope to the
top of the arm.
Many lace and muslin ties will be
seen through the summer although
the ribbon and silk ties are by no
means out, but these dainty access
sories are too light and are capable
of being made part of the dress or
waist with which 1t is to be worn.
For the regular tailored shirtwaist
the high stir linen collar will be
worn with colored or black tie knot
ted and finished in six pointed ends,
in the middle of the front. Any
novel way of tying the tie is eagerly
sought for. The most intricate of
these bows can be made at home for
little cost.
A Marie Antolnette ruche and
jabot are well liked for wear with
an open Jacket. or inside of an Elton
coat. They are easily made of white
handkerchief linen edged with bit
of fine Valeneiennes lace. or they may
be wholly of lace. The little lace
edged linen bows that have been so
popular are still worn and promis to
be during the summer; also those of
ribbon and plaid silks, as well as the
tab ends of lace and embroidery
and silk.
Jewelry set with the semi-precious
stones win be worn. but all settings
should be large and oriental in de-
signs. One of the favorite stones OF
this class is the amethyst, and 1t or
its imitation is worn in many ways.
Jet is said to have become more
popular than 1t has ben for some
time. Bracelets will be worn as long
as the long glove is worn and 1t Is
also seen with the short glove for
that matter, sometimes two are worn
Belts are of kid or of linen OF
silk as formerly, but those made to
go with any dress are shaped to the
particular figure. Those of linen will
still be used. but new decoration Is
seen In the use of soutache braid In
cotton, II works on well and should
be sown on with a firm thread and
stitch on its side rather than fat
which Is the fashionable metod ii
trimming gowns with this braid. A
belt should be high or low. pointed
up or down in front or back accord
Ing TO the figure: and as l have saiC
before. the woman who is really vel
dressed should study that important
point for best results.
There is a liking for shocking il
hloases, alternating panels in tn,
muslins and softest silks. Som,
very beautiful ones have been sen
