WEAR THE STOCK
Dainty Neckxear That
Has SuPPlaDted Col
lar Of Embroi-
dered LiDeD.

All winter long the stock has rivaled
the collar in lingerie neckwear, and
now It would seem that for those to
whom laundry considerations need not
hold tefr0rs, 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 it is not the latest
word Of fashion. Where q heavy linen
collar II required q straight en-
broidered collar fastening in the back
ia newer than the old rundown model,
and the popular rundown collar Is
new the low broad Dutch collar, 30
charmingly girlish but 30 trying to old
er women.
In these low collars one finds the
two extremes Of finest lingerie ma
terial delicately 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.
Bofy types will be much worn, and
It would be hard to imagine 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 q word is the high stock
collar of rather fine lawn with q nat
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 on it 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.
OF straight high lingerie stocks. en-
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 dimculs
| since it is to the consummate dainti
ness of their embroidery. the clever
shaping of the bow and its cOquettish
adjustment that SO much Of their ef
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 fines,
white lawn with dainty cOlored EN-
broidery, and are worn either around
the base of the throat or around the
top of a 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 onl!
when the wearer has a long. slim
throat. Some of the little embroi
dered cravats and bows meant TO
such adjustment have tiny plates

and softening the line next to tn

Another narrow folded lingerie
cravat has two knots and little jabo
ends, one on each side of the front
with perhaps two inches between, thu
cravat fastening in the back, and still
another has bow slightly larger thai
those We have described. and mad

always pretty, and brought out now il
new and dainty forms, and there ar
new variations. too. upon the narro1
