very smart look
ing with a tailored blouse or plain morning
frock.
Other collars, much closer TO regulation
Elton lines, but mounted on a band which,
while not high, brings the collar up more
closely around the throat than the Elton,
are much worn and are comfortable
things for hot days. though they are essen
TALLY of youthful character. They are
made in embroidered linen Of varying soft
ness and sheerness. ranging from the stiff,
boyish collar to sheer collars exquisitely
hand embroidered and inset with lace.
Bows to match accompany many Of these
collars and pretty sets have the collar,
turn back cuffs to match and a front frill
for the blouse, Dainty and comparatively
inexpensive sets Of this character are
made up in striped batiste or lawn. white
with fine stripes of pink o. blue, or brown
OF red; the collars, cuff and a band for
the blouse front being made plainly of the
material. with narrow bordering frills of
plain colcr matching the stripe.
Sets somewhat similar to these in gen
eral character are made Of finely plated
white lawn or null, with narrow borders
OF color, ard a iabot frill Of the plated ma
terldl takes the place Of the flat band with
bordering frills.
The liking of wide frills about the throat
Increases steadily. though this fashion is
not generally becoming. Parisians go with
Threats swathed high in fluffy frtlls and
ruches, a concession to the directoire modes
of the day. and the best New York shops
echo this Partisan note by displacing much
of this frilled ueckwear. For the woman
20 whom II is becoming 1t Is most pdquant
and charming, but length and slenderness
of throat are absolutely essential to sue
cessful wearing Of such neck ornaments.
High. close collars of finely tucked net OF
lingerie or Of lace are cut down in front
and run up to exaggerated height behind

a collar is finished with a rather wide
plated or shirred frill. which stands our
around the cnln and droops more or Less
over the collar.
Sometimes a corresponding but wider
frill finishes the bottom OF the collar a.
well, the plating falling downward over
the blouse. Sometimes a narrow cravat Il
the bottom finish. and this fay be a mar.

bow or frill set on the front and match

Some most attractive stiff stocks in lineI
hand embroidered in color are shaped a
top, but without a top frill. At the bottom
of the collar in front two wide eyelet slit
are embroidered and through them 1

little longer and wider than the other.
Bows and cravats OF silk or velvet IN,
lace are numerous and are worn with an,
straight stock to hide the line OF joining
'twixt stock and blouse. For instance,
narrow cravat OF silk running round tn
base OF the throat will knot carelessly Il
front and fall in two ends. four or fiv
inches long, each end being finished with
tassel-like frll OF lace shirred up yer,
tightly. Or a wider, folded cravat Of sill
may encircle the throat, knot in from
around a fluffy lingerie and lace bow an
fall in two short ends, each finished with
plated tab OF the lingerie and lace
