may be donned for morning wear with
immaculate little turnover collar and
cuffs .5ome of these collar and cuff sets
are exquisite in style and show French
convent embrcidering. Such q set costs
well up toward $40, but all the shops
offer pretty machine-made sets from q
quarter up.
There is something peculiarly feminine
dainty and attractive about the little line
of white at collar and wrists. and the
woman who Is clever with her needle
can make very beautiful collar and cuff
sets for herself The distinction of such
accessories, of course, lies in their in
finite fineness, and a collar and cuff set
of sheer linen worked simply with dots
will be in vastly better taste than the
most elaborately trimmed ma chine made
set.
Just at present there is a fad for the
low Dutch collar which lies fiat on the
blouse leaving the neck exposed The
Dutch collars are very becoming to all
women with plump necks and even to
slender-necked women whose throats are
fawlessy white and unmarked-a condi-
ton deplorably rare after a year of wear
ing the high-boned collars, which not
only spoiled the contour of the throat,
but left ugly marks and lines on the
flesh.
Many young women are making up
these little Dutch collars in eyelet en-.
broidered linen effects for valentine gifts.
Such a collar may easily be turned out,
scalloped edge, eyelets embroidered dots
and all. in an evening. and as the Dutch
collar promises to be very much ''the
thing with summer shirt waists and
gingham frocks, half a dozen collars
might be fashioned al Lenten needlework

The Turks Turban, Too.
The draped turban of fabric is exceed
ingly smart in Paris just now and a few
of these hats have been seen here,
though the style has not yet been gen
orally taken up by the milliners. Miss
Olga Nethersole in THE Devil wears a
gray velvet-draped turban on which is
bunch of purple violets, and with an
evening gown on the stage in Paris a
draped turban is attracting some atten-
ton. In this turban the fabric is wound
round the head and falls over to one
side in a point. to which is attached
dangling gold tassel.
The idea of the draped turban is to
have the material look as though it were
simply wound about the head and held in
place by two or three large pins, thrust

1t lies quite fat on the blouse and many
smartly dressed young women wear with
these quaint collars round brooches or
cameo pins in the Old-faShioned style
copied from daguerreotpyes of a genera
ton ago. Irish lace collars or those OF
all-over embroidery are most effective
with dark silk blouses Linen collars
embroidered by hand in simple design
will be prettiest over summer cotton
frocks.

When it comes to making up the lin

canny woman takes counsel with the
neckwear shop before setting a single
stitch No matter how many neat, tai
lored waists the summer wardrobe boasts,
there should be at least one or two very

tached to q high stock of the same en-
broidery. At the edge of the rounded
yoke is a narrow pleated frill of en-
broidery to match the all-over pattern.
Over gingham one-piece frocks for sum-
mer wear these little embroidery fuckers
will be very popular.
The Irish and princess lace yokes which
may often be picked up at neckwear sales
for quite modest prices also make charm
ing blouse accessories. An Irish lace yoke
will last lifetime and may be kept dain-
tily white with ordinary white soap. sun
and water. Such a yoke Is, therefore. a
good investment. even though the initial
cost seems rather beyond ones means.
There is a fad just now for wearing the
yoke in plastron or bertha effect outside
of the bodice. and this makes it especially
easy to dress up the general service
blouse for particular wear. At the after
noon tea hour in a fashionable restaurant
the other day q woman wore white
tucked net blouse made in the ordinary
tailored fashion: but over it hung a

Where to Tie Ones Hat Bow.
There is notion just now for the big
fiat bow of ribbon across the back of the
turban. Several smartly dressed young
girls have been seen with these big bows
of satin ribbon set directly at the back of
their huge fur turbans. A lynx turban of

ribbon falling to the line of the collar
Another turban of draped cloth had a
bow arranged in a similar manner except
that the ribbon ends were gathered to

Street Hat in More Modest Size.
The best milliners assert that a more
reasonable period in hat shapes Is on the
way. Midsummer hats will be as big and
shady and picturesque as ever they were
and this is quite as it should be, for
with dainty lingerie and silk frocks moth
ing is so pretty as the broad-brimmed
picture hat banked with flowers. For
street wear, however the woman of re-
finement prefers less conspicuous style.
and every woman must admit, whatever
her personal taste may be, that in crowd
ed street vehicles. or for motoring wear
under a veil. the hat with unexaggerated
brim is vastly more comfortable and sem
sible.

desirable thing may or may not please
the independent notions of American
women.
Witness, for example. the fiat failure
of the turban last spring. Though Paris
took up this style enthusiastically and
many American retailers laid in large
supplies of turbans in blocked and frame
models, the demand was killed almost at
its birth by the monstrous, wide-brimmed
shapes which carried the day

has started the suggestion of a becoming
color scheme in woman's imagination
This year the choice will be very likely
indeed to settle on the black hat, for
not in years has black been as popular
as it promises to be during the coming
season. Already the shops are fairly
twinkling with jet trimmed hats, the very
latest word of Paris millinery language.
Supp1anting Fur Models.
These jetty chapeaux are on every hand
and promise to have as great a vogue as
the polo turban, which created a furore
some years ago in the early spring season.
The jet hats are in round turban shapes,
with broad bands of lacy jet passemen
terie trimming around the brim and huge
cabachon ornaments, also of the jet, at
one side: or they are in the new pudding
dish shape, with no brim and crown
whose steep sides slant up to a perfectly
flat top.
This baking dish shape is an authorita-
tive visitor from Paris and is seen in
fabric effects, with round jet ornaments
at intervals around the sloping crown, or
the whole shape is encrusted with jet
particles. like a rock which at low tide
in an inky sea might show a covering of
strange jet mussels These jet hats, If set
down on a mass of fluffy hair of golden
or reddish color1ng are very stunning, Dut

to show all ar&lnd the edge of the hat

in her face avoid the scintillating jet
turban. It's hard blackness and daring
sparkle are only for her of the bright
eyes and bit of dash in bearing.

Portable affairs for occasional wear, at

turban shapes is the toreador, a modi-

which always makes its appearance when
there is the least excuse for turban
style. This 1909 toreador is as debo
naF as any headgear ever worn by a
Castilian don. Its circular, outstanding
