Prominence Of Gid. FrI,,.

Opinion seems to be unanimous a
to the prominence Of the side frill or
jabot, says the Dry Goods Economist.
That Is the accessory on which French
women have concentrated attention.

wears a frill jabot In some form. Not

often that piece Of neckwear adapts
itself to almost every style OF toilette

The prosperity OF the trade demands
