New neckwear, keeping pace with
other REVEALS, asserts itself in short,
broad planted frills OF black, white

though these frills soon loose their
freshness and beauty, they are be-
coming and add just the amount Of
warmth necessary with the prevail

stock collars. They are especially
welcome to the woman who still
clings to the round, collarless neck.
Occasionally one sees these planted
frills tied with long velvet ribbons
that reach below the waist line,
Short-neck boas OF black ostrich
feathers are smartly tied with a
beige ribbon rosette matching in
color the parasol or the feathers on
the hat. Rich royal blue is par
