WEAR Till STOCK
Dainty Neekwear That
Has SuPPlapted Col
lar Of Embroi-
dered LiDeD.

All winter long the stock has rivaled
the collar in lingerie neckwear. and
now 1t would seem that for those to
whom laundry considerations need not
hold terrors, the dainty stock has sup
planted the less fragile collar of EN-
broidered linen.
The high rundown linen or lace COL
lar is still worn, but 1t is not the latest
word of fashion. Where heavy linen
collar is required straight en-
broidered collar fastening in the back
Is newer than the old rundown model,
and the popular rundown collar is
now the low broad Dutch collar, so
charmingly girlish but SO trying to old
er women.
In these low collars one finds the
two extremes Of finest lingerie ma
terial del.cately embroidered. lace
trimmed and heavy soft linen en-
broidered heavily or in open work de-
sign and II lace trimmed at all trimmed
with substantial Cluny or Irish lace.
Boty types will be much worn, and
1t would be hard to imagine u collar
more comfortable for hot days. but. as
We have limited, 1t demands youthful
throat and chin.
One other type Of rundown collar
which merits a word is the high stock
collar of rather fine lawn with a fiat
embroidered scallop edge band Of the
lawn turning down all around TO half
or three-quarters of the collar depth.
This fastens behind and cuffs to
match often accompany the collar.
Another high collar. this time Of
finely embroidered lawn. has rabbit
ear points turning down OIL 1t in the
front. these points being embroidered
and lace edged. A narrow frill OF lace
finished the bottom Of the collar, as
Is often the case with lingerie stocks.

and helping to hide all trace of the
collar band.

broidered or tucked or Inset with lace.
there is no end. and these In many in
stances depend for their cachet more
upon the little cravat accompanying
them than upon their own merit 1t is
among these cravats that many OF the
neckwear novelties are TO be found.
but description Of them is difficult.
since II Is to the consummate dainti-
ness of their embroidery, the clever
shaping OF the bow and its coquettish
fectiveness is due
Narrow lingerie cravats folded once
and finished with narrow little bows
whose ends are pointed. scallop edged
and embroidered, are made up In finest
white lawn with dainty colored EN-.
broidery. and are worn either around
the base of the throat or around the
top of high lingerie stock.
This idea of arranging cravat and
bow at the top OF the stock is com
paratively new, and the arrangement
has a piquant air. but is pretty only
when the wearer has a long. slim
throat. Some OF the little embroi
dered cravais and bows meant for
such adjustment have a tiny plated
frill running around the upper edge
and softening the line next TO the
throat.
Another narrow folded lingerie
cravat has two knots and little jabo,
ends. one on each side OF the front
with perhaps two inches between. the
crayat fastening In the back. and stIi
another has II bow slightly larger than
those we have described. and made
with two full loops on one side an
a loop and end on the other side. the
one spreading and exquisitely embroi
dered.
Tiny embroidered bows heading ra,
bats or little tabs are not new. though
always pretty. and brought out now In
new and dainty forms. and there are
new variations. TOO. upon the narrow
lingerie tie passing around the throat
