FALSE COLLAR NEW THING
Is Shown Below Sailor Collar and is
of Stitching or More Usually
of Braiding.


Many of the new tailored suits for
autumn show, below the sailor collar,
which is so popular, false collar of
stitching, or more usually of braiding.
The typical coat of this sort was
seen recently. a loose hip-lengtn

five inches below, following the collar
in outline. The cuffs were finished in
the same way.
The great number of ruffies which
have appeared as notifications of the
tunic effect seems to have suggested
this style, which gives becoming eff
feet of height to young girls and short
women. Soutache or very narrow fiat
braid is used. Sometimes it reappears
on the tunlc or simply in banding eff
feet on the skirt below the knees.
1t is good way to make last au-
tumn's suit seem modish again, and
to conceal any necessary frightening
for the growing girl.

TO HOLD VEIL in PLACE
One Method Which Saves the Veil
and Involves Hardly Any
Trouble.

A number of clever expeditions have
been devised to hold a veil snugly
under the chin without giving it an
ugly line. Here is one method which
saves the veil also and involves hard
ly any trouble. Get the narrowest
kind of round elastic, the same color
as the veil (paint the white elastic
with water colors for colored veiD
and whip 1t over the extreme edge of
the veil. taking up only single
thread all around. Include any cut
edges, but afterward pare thine off
neatly with a small pair of scissors.
Fasten in back with a tight knot.
The veil is slightly gathered on the
elastic, fits nicely under the chin and
over hat, and stretches when it is
raised. 1t seems the best solution of.
vexing problem of dress.
