The plated frill is perhaps the
most pronounced neckwear fad of the
season and Is offered in every i'm
aginable variation and In every de-
gree of fineness and daintiness. There
are frills of lace ana frills of linen,
frills lace trimmed, frills hand-em-
broidered and scalltped, frills with
fine embroidery designs running ,along
every second or third plat, frills of
white with narrow borders of color,
frills of fine white lace edged by the
narrowest of black lace, frills of col
or border with white, dotted frills
with white or colored hens, frills to
finish collarless frock neck, frill col
lar and cuff sets for coats, frills to
run down one side of a central box
plat falling over plain plating or
with black lace falling over cream
lace or chiffon, frills running down
each side of a central lace or en-
broidery band and many other varia-
tions.
Some of the prettiest cuff and col
lar sets have fiat bands on collars of
lace or embroidered linon with the
plated frill bordering them, and
there are close stock collars with
frills running around their lower edge
just at the base OF the throat
Owing to the great popularity of
the plated frill as collarless neck
finish there is an increasing liking for
nat turn down collars finely embroid-
cred and lace-trimmed, and these are
shown in great quantities in all the
fashionable shops. Some of the finest
are very expensive, however.
Exquisitely embroidered collars o.
fine linon are modish for wear with
the low cut coats and are distinctly
becoming, especially when the blouse,
as is so often the case, is collarless.
The hard line of the coat collar
against bare throat is unbecoming,
and lingerie collar if fine and dainty
improves the effect wonderfully. The
plated frill collar Is pretty and be.
coming too, and Is much worn with
the tailored coat
Embroidered pique collar and cuff
sets for the coats are practical and
smart, If not SO dainty and becoming
as the finer sets of linon.
A belt of patent leather, preferably
a black one, should be worn with
separate waist ard skirt.
A new trimming feature which
promises to become decidedly popular
is the many-colored ostrich plume.
The stockings this summer are in
most cases two-toned, matching the
costume or in contrasting color.
Coarse blue linen frocks, embroid-
cred with blue and coral silk, are
made for young girls.
