Among the stocks that are most easily
made by the amateur are those OF ailover
heavy lace, shaped high at the sides and
back, but slightly dipping in front The
tops are finished with half-inch frill OF
fine tulle, thickly plated and at the bot
tom edge there is a similar one but OF
twice the width of that at the top. This
stock fastens at the back with triple set
of jeweled pins. Another on the same

fine muslin embroidery and has a match

edge is concealed under the band Of

To launder this would necessitate the rip

order, but much more elaborate, Is sort
of pointed chemisette made Of plated lace

Unable sort of jabot. rabat and frill that
the brain of womankind can invent. In
fact, the passion for jabot effects has
taken such possession of womankind that
they are made of every imaginable ma
terfal. Although many of them are decked
with fine lace, the latest cry is for those
finished with the finest of hand hemstitch-
ing or frilling. One of these models In
the sheerest of batiste. has a double
pleated neck band and jabot end scheme
in the form of five batiste ruffles grad

the famous English queen for which this
attractive accessory is named. Never

ford soft frame for the features and
incidentally conceal any throat de-

are the triple-futed tulle rutfies and the
double white crepe frillings.
A novel fancy of the hour is the use
of high stocks composed of many folds
of ribbon drawn tightly about the throat
and supported by collar boning. These
are finished at top and bottom with
deep frill of tulle and the ribbon is tied
at back, side or front In a pert-Iook-

The amount Of money that is expended
every week upon neckwear and kindred

Of the present decade and the average

Yet 1t is these Identical small and apparent

costume of any class its smartness and

OF close attention from women of all

some Of the extremists amongst ultra
fashionable dressers are wearing hats

Feminine Comforts
In Hospitals.

When the wealthy woman Of today
goes to private hospital she takes with
her all the comforts of home and more
than are dreamed of in the average do
nestle circle. With her is her maid;
many times Buttons" also is in attend
ance. private cellaret with which to
regale her friends during convalescepce
has more than often been an incidental,
while as for flowers and other accessories,
there are any amount of them.
Even the most popular private hospital
affected by society women is but meager
in its furnishings. The tenets of hy-
giene would be violated were there hang
ings and decorations. Therefore, a room,
for which the charge is $125 a week, in
cluding board and the barest attendance,
has merely a bed, bureau, occasionally a
couch, a table, washstand and several
chairs. This is the aspect when 1t is en-
gagged for several weeks, or even perhaps
for only 10 days, by women whose homes
are the perfection of luxury.
To be surrounded by less pleasing en-
vironment when one is convalescing than
when one is quite well is palpably impos-
sible, and, therefore, when arrangements
are made for occupying the room the
housekeeper of any private hospital mas
become quite accustomed to being told
that ones maid will be sent In advance
to look after the placing of few things
which she will bring.
Precisely what these things are ana

different individuals. One woman, whose
name is synonomous with millions. en-
gagged not only large double room, Dut
a single one connecting. In the latter the
bed was taken down and by her orders
all the furniture was removed from the
large room. From her house she sent
down a complete outfit to replace 1t. She
had her own bed, dressing table, chairs,
lounge, tables, rugs, draperies, lamps and
other decorations. Pictures were hung.
Her maid, who arrived with her and
STAYED the entire time, brought all the
accessories of an elaborate toilet and
Madame was arranged each day by most
perfect art to look her best. In the small
room soft draperies were put up at the
windows and the place was converted
into luxurious reception room, consptcu-
ous In which was beautifully appointed

In charge Of this room was Buttons"
sent for by MADAME" as soon as she
was installed, and the pages duty was
not only to open doors to receive the
cards Of Madame's many callers, but
also, after she began to mend, to see
that the decanters on the table were
never empty and that cold siphons were
always at hand and cakes and biscuits
never lacking.

Among the new tailored shirtwaists of
linen which will be more than ever worn
this autumn, especially with those sim
pie, smart English mohair and light
weight street suits, are two models
which deserve consideration at the hands
OF the girl who Is so energetic that she
prefers to fashion her own bl0Iscs. One
OF these is rather military In effect, as 1t
is all but close fitting, the narrow box
pieats In which its fronts and back are
laid being stitched down fatty. The
fronts close blindly beneath a hy and
decorating them are two three-set groups
of black braid military ornaments loop
ing over tiny buttons. The rather small
shirt sleeves are box ploated horizontally
from shoulder to cuffs which, like tie
high collar, are trimmed to match the
blouse front. The other waist has two
deep side pleats crossing the shoulders,
wide front fastening, obvious buttons and
regulation mannish shirt sleeves
The Nautical Blouse Again.
The "Jackie" waist has ever appealed
to the girl who likes a comfortable morn

Unbleached shirtwaists strictly for au-
tumn outing purposes are made In con-
yentional shirtwaist style, with rather

style, with no opening in front or back.
but with the neck sufficiently wide that
they may be slipped on over the head.
Most Of them have colored collars and
cuffs and straight, narrow belts, as those
are the portions of the garment liable to
become most readily soiIed. They are
worn with skirts of heavy plain colored
cotton, usually denim, which is the best
of all materials for fishing. boating and
climbing.

Broad Crush Belts.
No minor detail Of the toilette so inter-
feres with and oftentimes completely de-
stroys the original idea of the designer
of blouse as does the character of the
belt worn with it. Needless to state
that with any sort Of dressy waist a
stiff belt is absolutely out of place. While
a draped or crush broad belt is apt to
be trying to some figures, it yet may be
SO clevely made as to be exceedingly be-
coming and lend slenderness rather than
bulk at the waistline. If possible such
girdle should be of the same color, IL

as to be short over the hips and pointed

touch the wearer, for with the first chill
of autumn she dons her thin silk lining,
and so soon as the tiniest stain appears
upon 1t off she sends 1t to the laundress
or the dry cleaners, according to the
decree Of its fragility. The stoutest of
the lingerie blouses are those made
wholly of allover embroidery. Many of
the most exquisite blouses are bewilder-
ing combinations of lace, batiste and en-
broidery, and some show no linen what
ever. but are of English eyelet and lace.
In all cases they show a tendency to
cling rather closely to the figure with
out being in the least degree fitted to
1t, and the yokes, always marked de-
tail, are of innumerable shapes. Much
the same designs are seen in the taffetas,
liberty satin and China silk blouses, save
that heavy laces are always used In lieu
of embroideries.
Empire Blouse Effects.
Short-waisted effects and raised girdles
have brought about novelty in separate
blouses which Is only good with the
skirts having attached deep belts, so
that they may appear to fall in an un7
broken line from almost below the arms
to the hem. A bodice of net designed
to accompany long, sheath skirt OF pro-
nounced Directoire type is shirred on to
a round yoke of heavily applied net. This
is trimmed with a broad band Of all
over lace crossing the shoulders in jump
er fashion and so curving at the center
of front and back that it seems to over
lap the top Of the skirt. Narrow bands
of aflover lace crossing the jumper at
back and front and passing under the

those about the neck.
China Silk Slips.
To facilitate the occasional cleaning of
the white silk blouse there should be no
lining In 1t other than the skeeton-like
affair necessary to hold it in shape, but
its appearance is largely due to the, quail
ity of the slip worn beneath 1t. The
only thing possible to carry out the fllmy
effect Is the white china silk slip that
is carefully fitted and boned and 30
daintily finished about the neck and
sleeve ends that a glimpse Of them will
not detract from the appearance of the
outer garment Slips of this character
which may be purchased ready y-made are
of exceedingly good shape, but still they
are not by any means faultless. There

have them ref1tted, as their perfect shape
will have an immense effect upon the

with just a suggestion of fulness at the
top and close fitting at the wrist, Is fin-
ished with a narrow turnback cuff. The
fronts, ornamented with buttons and cord

Pique Is Popular.

Because of its well-known iaunderable
qualities pique is fast becoming popular
material for separate waists Of the severe
ly tailored type. Because Of the weight
and firmness of the weave It is difficult
TO pleat 1t finely or launder 1t satisfac-
torily when so treated. Consequently
the majority Of such blouses are made
on the general lines Of the Peter Pan. but
without the distinguishing little pocket.
and the visible front opening. Instead
of pleats bands of bold openwork embrctd-
cry are employed vertically on fronts and
back, or the blouse is generously en-
broidered In self-colored soutache. This
makes 1t Infinitely more ornamental than
the strictly tailored garment Of less flexi-
BILE material, and It is perfectly adapted
to even midwinter weather, as a thick
high-necked and long-sleeved underwaist
may be worn beneath it without any
chance Of being detected.
Tailored Waist Belts.
Before leaving the topic of strictly tai
lored and utility waists designed to ac-
company natty short skirts 1t may be
stated that the correct belt should be Sc
yerely plain.
Woven cotton beltings come in embroid-
cred effects in every imaginable color,
with white or black and in broad or me-
dium width. There are all-sllk beltings
In similar effects as well as those in
silk elastic, but the smartest tailor gir-
dies of the moment are the moire silk
beltings. These come by the yard and
their ends need only be slipped through

or gilt metal.

Net BIouses for Winter.

The ret blouses which have played SO
important a role for months past will be
worn throughout the winter, but in SIM
pier form, as not so much lace and more
tucking will be employed in their makeup.
For this reason a very good quality Of net
should be selected If the garment is to
prove really serviceable. Some of these
new blouses have quite wide box pleats at
back and front. the edge of each pleat fn-
ished with a frill of narrow Valenciennes
or Cluny lace, while others have a success
sion OF wide tucks at either side of
plastron of Irish lace. Again no lace
whatever is employed, but upon the tucks
Irish crochet buttons and drops are set,
or there are narrow straps of biased white
satin or taffetas.
Sleeve Suggestions.
The main effort of the designers Of sepa-
rate blouses at present seems to be the
preservation of the natural outlines Of the
shoulders and to effect this result they are
placing as few gathers as possible In the
sleeves of even the thinnest fabrics. In
some of the more elaborate Of such
blouses there are long, clinging sleeves of
tulle or lace which go almost plainly into
the arm size, are shirred ever SO slightly
onto the morrow tape which holds the
inner seam In position and at the wrists
are SO close fitting that they are fastened
with tiny buttons and loops after the gar
ment Is adjusted. The draped sleeve Is
exceedingly popular and deservedly 80,
since 1t affords the owners of an ex-
tensive collection of handsome short
