ings. frills. jabots and other little
accessories by means of which
dainty touches may be introduced into
the summer dress. The round pleated
frill attached to stock collar Of the
same material is novelty which has
found favor. 1t is known as the Pier
rot collar, and is made Of lace or net,
frequently having band of black vel
vet ending in the back with a bow.
Miniature farthingales copied from
those of the Elizabethan era are
shown in pleated lace, tulle and fine
batiste, and will be an important adj
junct to the lingerie blouses and tub
frocks this summer.
Dainty Louis XIV jabots, finished at the
throat with a little arrangement of
handmade silk flowers or tiny velvet
bows, are seen in all imaginable sheer
materials, pleated. shirred, incrusted
with embroidery, with lace or frill fin
ish at the edges. From the costumes Of
Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. and
the ladies and gentlemen of their
court are taken the many little
sleeve frills. pIeated lace ruches and
elaborate lace rabats and jabots which

ernoon gowns.
The very latest idea in stocks, adapted
both for coats and dresses, is the. Robe
sphere, high turn-down collar, open at
the throat, and as rule, fastened with
a large brooch. These collars are usually
made of black satin and lace or net. The
high turnover collar of black satin leaves
an open space of about two inches In the
front, which may be filled in with tucked
net or left open. v of the net forms a
yoke, which may have a rever of black
satin on either side, which may be sur
rounded with deep frill Of lace and net.
often forming a bib effect. Another de-
sign in a. Robespierre collar shows the
black satin turnover collar, with the
space in the front left open, and on either
side Of the collar is double fold OF
white net with black satin buttons in the
center, with frill of lace on either side.
Such a collar is designed to wear with q
coat, or may be worn with waist, with
either a high or low collar. Wide lapels
go well with this collar, as well as with
the revolution collar. This latter is dis
tinguished by sharply pointed corners. is
fatty turned down, and is worn with a
broad, loosely flowing tie. White satin.
pique or batiste are the fabrics best liked
in both these styles.
Sailor collars are still seen with the
deep curve at the back. Sometimes they
reach to the waist line, where they meet
a peplum of similar material. In front
they are usually quite shallow, terminal
ing in deep points or tabs, and always
| leaving the throat exposed. Bib effects
in frills Of lace are frequently seen and
are sometimes attached to a black satin
fold, which is shaped and can be worn
with collarless waist.
Coat collars are in q wide range Of d.

loops. and falling over the skirt at the
left side of the back. These sashes are
usually made of very wide, sort
changeable tanfeta ribbon. and the
butterfly wing fashion, but rise, one
above the other leach loop being
made "a trif1e longer than the one just
above) and fall, below the knot, In the
same fashion. There are two sharply
slanted ends. one falling to the hip,
and the other. exactly under 1t. to the
knee. If the ends of the sash fall
separately from the waist line, they
are sure to be caught together again
at the hip or knee and knotted, or
fastened under a rosette or cabuchon
of tiny ribbon roses. Whatever sash
ends do, they must not fiutter, and
small weights. on tapes, are usually
sewed to the ends of the ribbon. If
ends, tassels or ball trimming may fur
nish the necessary weight.
Only the debutante wears an inno-
cent pale blue or pink sash now. These
babyish tints are not for the woman of
fashion who wears the blue shot with
mauve. or gold: or lilac shot with
rose, or any other changeable pastel
coloring. Sashes of pale tan with cor
sage trimmings of tea roses are con-
sidered smart with lingerie frocks of
creamy stun; but the deep ecru frocks
are usually accompanied by black vel
vet sashes.
The large-waisted woman should be-
ware of a sash contrasting in color with
her gown, and the black velvet SASH
with any gown except a black one, is
not for her. III the hips are overdevel-
oped at the back, 1t is best to avoid
sashes altogether and finish the girdle
with pump bow. without ends. which
may be worn at the center-back or a
little to the right or left of the back
Pompadour ribbons with edges of plain
color make charming saShes for young
girls, and often such sashes have no bow
at the back, one end of the ribbon being
simply drawn up back of the knot and
allowed to fall over the other end. This
method takes very little ribbon, two
yards being sufficient to make a pretty
sash. Some of the taffeta frocks have
sash ends edged all around with tiny
quillings or pleatings of the taffeta, one
end. Of course. falling over the other In
the modish fashion. A .frill-trimmed sash
of rose ana lilac taffeta ribbon is illus
trated. the frills in this instance being
made OF narrow pompadour ribbon in
shades of lilac and pale pink on a cream
ground. A yard and a half OF wide shot
taffeta ribbon was used to make the
upright and one end of the sash being
only nine inches long, while the other
measures twenty-seven inches. The belt
part of the sash Is pleated and the frills
are sewed over the pieats in scallops.
Three-fourths of a yard of taffeta ribbon
should make this belt portion for an
average waist measure. About six yards
of pompadour ribbon will be required for
the frills

Silk Handkerchief.

Silk handkerchiefs are favored BY
many men, and when the softness, the
suppleness and the small space they re-
quire are considered their choice IL
plainly a matter of material comfort as
well as good looks. They make an at
tractive birthday or anniversary gift.
Charming letters can be made for
marking silk handkerchiefs by using
very pure silk net, and IL adds very ma
terially to the value of the gift il II 10

A lingerie frock with picture hat

provided with two sorts of lingerie

wear and the other the sort Of frock

A Cretonne Chiffonier for the Coun-
try Bedroom.


try Bedroom.
TT seems rather incongruous-the idea of
cretonne-trimmed chiffonier for a
man; but the oak or mahogany chiffonier
of the lord and master of the house, set
amid room full of cretonne-draped fur
niture, Is often more homogeneous The
new chiffonier has frame of white en-
ameled wood and instead of drawers
there are boxes covered with cretonne
which may be drawn out like chffoniel
drawers at will. Smaller drawers in en-
ameied wood racks at the top of the
chiffonier are ready to hold collar but
tons, scarf pins and other masculine be-
longings. and on top of all is swinging
oval shaving mirror in a white frame
OF course, the cretonne-covered boxes
match the draperies and cretonne-trim-
med furniture Of the room, and the chlf-
fonier, while well suited to masculine
comfort, fits in we'll with the decoration
scheme of the dainty room.
