Neckwear.
Much of the fancy neckwear seems TO
have been fashioned with the idea in
mind that it could be worn with dressy
as we'll as plain waists. Heretofore, when
elaborate neckwear was the fashion, we
always used 1t to dress up plain waists
but this year 1t is of such character
that the dressier waist may employ this
accessory without criticism. Sometimes
the colored note is expressed in the col
ored stock or jabot. which is very SEN
sible idea, for in this way 1t is possible
to wear one waist with a number of diff
ferent colored suits and yet have the color
note in the waist complement each one Of
them.

painfully to his elbow and gazed with
fixed and CLASSY eyes toward the east
