neck or else the round baby neck hn-
ish with a fine plated frill. These
frills, by the way. are full OF charm,
but not altogether practical, as few

frilling is to gather coarsely on

Some women prefer a touch of color

II women are dainty blonsed many
shortcomings are passed over, and
right here might say a word upon tho
trimming of the hands.
Do not load the hands with rings
and always choose your rings to har-
monlze in color or style with the kind
OF blouse or gown you wear. Striking
examples are shown in two women l
know. One will appear dressed for the
evening in fllmy chiffon with weird
assortment Of rings, all priceless, but
utterly unrelated to her gown. seal

Only one or two diamond rings should
be worn with n pearl or ruby ring
and these with chiffon or lace. Dla-
monds should be softly hidden beneath
a drape OF chiffon if long sleeves arc
not worn. as billlant glitter of jewels
is rather too reminiscent of a Jewelers'
window.

under side This should be accom-
pliShed so as TO show no stitches and
can be arranged by sewing bllndly to
the very edge OF the material or wrong
side and folding over, as that the braid
comes between two chiffon surfaces.
This also gives a delightfully."- loose.

Another way. requiring less skill, Is
TO sew the braid to the lining and
then adjusting the outside. but this
does not give so elegant a finish as tho

most popular at the present time. and
it lends itself most admirably to the
soft fllmy textures.

favorite and makes the building OF
