The collarless waist and Dutch necks

miration for the picturesqueness and
the delightful ease and GOODNESS of this
mode persuade her to invest In waists
cut in this manner. A thin neck is not
n beautiful object to view even If it is
topped by the prettiest face in the
world
A woman who will look painfully
emaciated in an unsrComing low neck
will often appear as plump and pretty
as possible when wearing a high collar
that covers the hOllows in the neck.
