models being Of handkerchief linen. and

| Is the deeply Vd high collar. finished with

OF the waist or coat. Sometimes the COL

pleated lace; sometimes touches OF lace
decorate the collar also. A very grace

handkerchief lawn. the collar being shap-
! ed by pin tucks around its upper edge.
while the double jabot frills are pintucked

! open collar. Another dainty collar Is Of
white handkerchief lawn scalloped by
hand in pink. and the talbot, finely pleated
| and extending outward at either side of
! tiny seam beading. is also Of the lawn
scalloped in pink. Still another collar.
Of cream scrim this time. has deep
hemstitched hem IN which are appliqued
squares Of lilac and pink linen. a pleated
jabot also decorated with the lilac and
pink squares falling below the collar.
And so on-the variety Is infinite. and
the higher up in price one goes, Of course.
the more dainty and beautiful the collars
One set of collar and cuffs, made of sheer
handkerchief linen and shadow lace, is
priced at $55. and this is not at all an
exorbitant price for handmade neckwear
Of such size-and containing the quality
OF material represented in the now mod
ish collar and cuffs. On the other hand,
very attractive set may often be picked
up for half dollar: and as these collars
are so very difficult to launder success
fully. 1t seems rather extravagant to pay
large sum for them-unless indeed. the
sum is SO large as to warrant the extra

Three types Of the new Robespierre
neckwear arc illustrated. One Of these
collars Is attached to . short bib and Is
intended for wear over bodices cut out
at the top, when It Is desired to don a tai
lored coat. This collar L. made of wedge
shaped sections OF hand-embroidered
handkerchief lawn which turn over on
tall stock of folded black satin. The bib
OF embroidered lawn has a scalloped edge
which shows up well against the UNDER
bib of black satin. and all around the
bib goes a double friH Of pleated net.
Combinations Of black satin and sheer
embroidered lawn are much in favor for
these high stock collars intended for
street wear.
One Of the turned-down collars opens
in the modish v. allowing the bare throat
elaborate jabot which Stimulates two huge
revers, made Of dotted net and having
a cascade OF net and lace down the CEN
ter front. Sometimes these very long
tabots are confined at the waist line under
the belt Of gown or coat.
The turnover collar Of white satin, with
its stock and jabot Of shadow lace. Is
particularly picturesque and charming.
The deep jabOts of lace are caught down
in points and attached at the waist line
under a bow OF colored ribbon which
matches the color of the small fancy
buttons on stock and tabot. Such q collar
will add immensely to the smartness OF
simple tucked blouse. or may be worn
with a trotteur frOck OF serge or mOhair
Though neckwear forms the chief topic
Of interest on today's page. the writer
cannot resist crowding in a paragraph or
two about an adorable little coat blouse
which has just come to town-via a
steamer from Paris The illustration OF
this chic little blouse shows the simple
lines, the long sleeve. the trimming OF
pleated frills and the narrow vest-all
distinctive fashion features. The straps
through which the patent leather belt
is passed must not be forgotten, either,
since these belt straps are just now a
whim Of Dame Fashions and are intro
duced on coats, frocks and blouses in
generous manner.
The coat blouse pictured is made Of PIN
tucked white linen and the fronts are
turned back in box pleats under rows of
tiny crochet buttons, to show the narrow
vest of blue and white embroidery. The
white pleated lace frill at the neck turns
back over collar of blue chiffon and
the frill on the sleeve is attached to a
cuff Of the same blue chiffon. A smartly
tied bow of blue velvet ribbon adds the
final touch of smartness. This coat blouse
accompanies blue serge tailored suit
| for fall. The coat Is loose, belted
| model and the skirt is just short enough
to show the toe and instep OF a buttoned
| boot Of tan calf.
! At the shops which may be relied upon
for really artstocratic and exclusive ef-
| fects one finds the Robespierre collar de-
veloped in navy blue satin and cream
lace, as well as in white satin and lace,
and black satin and lace. This combina-
| ton OF navy and cream seems particular
ly select just now. and the touch Of deep
blue, softened by cream, Is extremely be-
| coming to the average woman. These
| collars have pleated frills. overhanging
tabs Of tho satin. tiny satin covered and
