HOW TO BONE A COLLAR.
Framework of Whalebone Will Give
Best Results.

Bones play an important part in
dress-making nowadays, and especial
ly in waists, girdles and collars. AS
the collars must be high now, it is
necessary to bone them to make them
stand up. The collars of the lingerie
waists and of all dressy waists are
higher just behind the ear where they
slope upward slightly. Featherbone
is largely used, and it is easy to han
die, as it requires no covering except
at the ends. Stitches may be taken
through it at any point, and last but
not least, it is inexpensive.
The best and cleverest way to bone
a collar is to cut the whalebone into
the proper lengths for collar supports.
Five pieces of bone are necessary for
the average collar, two for under the
chin, which should be about two or
21s inches apart at the base of the
collar and slant until they are an inch
farther apart at the top of the collar.
These two bones are about half an
inch shorter than the two which
should be put underneath and little
behind the ear
The collar must be tied on to deter
mine the proper position for these.
The fifth bone is the same height as
the two front bones, and is to be put
in the middle of the back of the collar.
These bones are not to be sewed di-
rectly to the collar, but are to be
sewed to little framework collar
made of tapes. A piece of tape which
just fits comfortably but snugly around
the base of the neck forms the bot
tom of the framework, and for the top
a piece of tape which is a trifle lar
ger than is necessary for comfort
is chosen. These pieces of tape are
joined together by six pieces of tape.
Two in the front in exactly the same
position which the featherbone is to
occupy, and two under the ears and
two at each end These six pieces
should be made of two pieces of tape
to form pockets, and into these pock-
cts the featherbone is slipped.
One side of the back requires no
featherbone, though this may be used
if desired, for 1t will remain upright
when fastened to the other side of the

deuX and embroidery applique from
the high waist belt to the neck There
is no trimming below the ribbon run
beading which forms the belt only
full widths of the sheerest nainsook.
The valenciennes strips are applied
in an attractive lattice pattern, with
tiny diamond shaped pieces of the
nainsook separating the lace bands.
The neck of the gown is cut in
Dutch square, with a band of lace out
lining it; tiny beading heads this,
while inside is narrow frill of lace
to finish the neck The beading is
run with ribbon, which ties in front.
Empire nightgowns invariably fasten
in front unless the neck is cut out
enough to allow it to slip over the
head.
At each side of the front is ap-
pliqued a flower medallion done in
fine needlework, and on each shoulder
is another medallion a trifle smaller
This forms top for the new night
gown sleeve, which is shorter than
those that have been worn and Is
shaped more like circular cap than a
semi-fitted sleeve. A frill of lace fin
ishes the edge of the sleeves, and
above this, spaced an inch or more
apart, are two rows of the lace inser-
tion. Extending from the upper hori-
zontal row are three vertical strips.

quaint and picturesque air is impaired
to this dainty bit of lingerie by the
beading belt, which comes, in true en-
pire fashion, just under the bust. 1t
fastens in front with fancy ribbon
bow.
Whether nightgowns are gathered
into a belt after this fashion or not
they are provided with full short
sleeves and they have the trimming
extending quite low. The entire top
of the gown, both front and back, may
be decorated with medallions and lace,
and instead of having the necessary
fullness gathered on below the belt 1t
will be arranged by means of clusters
of fine vertical tucks, which are laid
between the medallions and do not in
terfere with the design carried out
in the lace and embroidery.
