About Lingerie Collars.

Boning collars is a tireless and
thankless task. We devote a morning
to this uninteresting occupation, and
we are tempted to feel repaid when
we view each collar supported by a
company OF straight-standing little
bones; but Just wait until they return
from the first battle of the tub. Such
a regiment Of stopped, bent, broken
backed. discouraged bones-you never
saw the like.
Now, suppose you try a way 1 am
going TO suggest, and see how Il
works. Hem little pockets of tape on
to the upper and lower edges OF your
collar; place one just where you would
fasten each end of each bone. The
open edge Of each pocket must OF
course, be toward the middle of the
collar. Now slip the ends of a whale
bone into corresponding pockets-one
in the upper edge and one in the low
er edge.
Use white whalebone for white col
lars, and. if the collar is very trans
parent. cover the bone with fine lawn
or bit of lace insertion. These bones
you see. can be removed when the
waist is sent TO the laundry, and they
are replaced without the aid OF q
netdle and thread.

As had been predicted, the cities were
