tell any woman of taste that fussy, elab-
crate neckwear is out of place on the tall
ored blouse. So many charming lingerie
stocks, jabots, ETC., rave appeared during
the last season thai It seems difficult for
some women to put them aside even when
the waists they are wearing are not suit
able for such association, and the effect
of a smart tailored shlrtwalst is often
spoiled by some elaborate neck orange
ment Of sheer material, lace and hand
embroidery.
The stiff linen collar in some form, the
plainly tailored stock, of which there are
many good examples, and the silk or rib
bon stock with turn down collar are the
effective and appropriate neckwear for the
severe-tailored waist; and. fortunately,
much variety is to be found within these
narrow limits, and there are, too, many
dainty bow and cravat arrangements in
lingerie silk or satin which may a%pproprl-
ately be worn with the severe shirtwaist.
though the idea of smart simplicity must
always be kept we'll in mind.
With the wooden shirt waist some chic
cravat or stock Of black liberty or silk
is usually more effective h anything
else and a touch of black introduced in
one way or another adds to the smartness

buttons, tabs turning down on cuff and
collar, a"scarf run through bound or
embroidered Sits in the cloth, or held
down by tabs of the cloth buttonlng over
it-all these notes in black are success
fully used upon waists without robbing
the models of their tailored look, and the
severity is even tempered by striking
bits of hand embroidery, usually in the
bold Rumanian and Russian designs OF in
simple dot or geometrical figures.
A good looking wGiste of dull blue
French flannel had narrow embroidered
bands Of Greek key design in black for
trimming and some white wool shirt
waists recently turned out by a specialist
In such matters were embroidered on the
shoulders. down the fronts, on the sleeves
and around the coilarless neck in Ruman-
ian design Of bold blues and reds and
greens. For wear inside the collarless
neck, in case the wearer preferred not
leaving the throat free. was a guimpe or
rather a mere collar of cluny lace.
This. OF course. is getting away from
the absolutely severe tailor idea. but in
white wool crepe or albatross or wool tat
feta a blouse Of this sort is a becoming
and comfortable thing and consorts we'll
with the white serge suit so much worn
in the country during autumn days.
Another model in white wool which
would be equally good in other materials
had embroidered scallops down the front
and on the sleeves and a little embroidered
yoke and collar.
Such waists are as a rule made TO order.
and II one must buy a warm blouse ready
made the trim tailored shirt waist is the
best choice.
Some good models in linen and madras,
with a little color in the material or used
as a trimming, are offered this fall, a
heavily striped madras. for example, be-
ing used for front plat cuffs and collar
or a white waist or a dotted material be-
ing used in the same way. On linen waists
lines Of embroidered dots in color are a
trimming much fancied and consistent
with the s%trictest tailored lines.
Dressy costume blouses OF Grape. wool
backed liberty, chiffon, net. etc, belong
10 a class Of their own and must be con
sidered another time, but the wool backed
