INDIVIDUALITY IN A GOWN
Touch of Color at Hands of Girl Who
Has Artistic Sense Does the
Trick.

Nine times out of ten 1t is the little
touch of clear, vivid color, used exact
ly in the right place, that will give
the note of individuality to gown
as nothing else will. And this color
touch-also nine times out of ten
is thing to be given by the deft
fingers of the girl who is cultivating
a sense of artistic effect as regards
her own clothes.
The exquisite and dainty neckwear
and sash effects give many oppor-
tunities for unhackneyed and original
ways of bringing out this note of en-
phasis. OF length of lustrous crepe
de chine, hemstitched with heavy
silk in a contrasting color all the way
around and pressed in tiny, even
plaits, a iabot of most attractive sort
can be made. After plating it is SIM
ly folded lengthwise, not quite in
the middle, so that the handwork on
the longer under plaits can be seen.
To vary this a girl of clever facility
made for herself the prettiest of jabot
TRIES by making the hem of con-
trasting tint She had enc of white
and pinky lavender with baby Irish
butterfly to fasten at top and she
had another of black crepe de chine
with a hem of golden brown in which
the faggoting stitch joining hem to
body of the jabot was of gold.
On jabot of soft ecru lace this
same girl gave "the color touch" by
two tiny bows of dark green velvet
ribbon and a band of the same which
,vhnected the two, one of them being
It the top of the jabot and the other
