Some of the novelties in neckwear
shown this week by department
store in Pennsylvania avenue. near
Eighth street. are fiat frills of imita-
ton Irish laces which will be much
used this season in the same way the
pleated ones have been seen. These
may be had as cheap as . cents. New
chemisettes of heavy laces are also be-
ing shown which have kimono sleeves;
and new shapes in Trouville linen COL
lars. which are all handmade and i'm
ported. are marked at y and 80 cents.
The latter show the sailor collars
which appear on so many things this
year and other odd shapes never be-
fore seen. They are eXuuisitely trim
med with hand embroidery in solid
or eyelet designs and some have hem
stitched bands or narrow lace in
sertions let in above the edges. They
are much liked for wear in the house
and will be especially popular in
warm weather for the girl who has
a pretty throat to show. The cape
attached does away with the nuisance
of having the collar ride up as SO
many do when cut low in front.

very decorative if used for a frieze in
