whole the collar is uncomfortable
impracticable and an unbecoin GIN
thing.
The lower rolled collar to which the
name Robespirre has been attached
is more practicable and becoming and
is achieving decided popularity, tho
it too, unless carefully cut and ad.
justed, is likely to look wrinkled and
mussy in rather short order. 1t is
far more becoming to most women
than the Dutch collar or any other
collar as low in the back as in the
front, the nape Of the neck being u.s.
ual!y far from beautiful after a cert
ain age has been reached.
Some very good looking blouses
with V fronts have rundown, rolling
collars extending only around the
back and sides, and are held togeth-

tie Of some sort, thus mitigating the
effect of lowness in 'front.'.
There are many delightful blouses
in very supple white satin Of the
charmeuse or meteor sorts, trimmed
usually with satin covered buttons or
folds and with some kind of attractive
lace or tulle collar and cuffs or sleeve
frllls. Most of these are made with
low rolling collars or frills, but may
be worn with puimpe and high COL

or the just below the elbow sort with
broad opening and turnback cuffs or
frills, or are long. A sleeve with crop
ped armhole seam into which the
sleeve is eased just a trifle, and with
close fitting cuff into which the body
OF the sleeve is fulled slightly, is often
used on the simple white satin blouse
and with other blouses of crepe or
satin intended for wear with tailored
costumes.
Simple blOuses of white marquiset-

narrow hens of color on the collars
