The floral bow IL one of the latest
novelties in ncckwcar. II consists Of
a small satin or velvet nusegay, with
strcamcrs Of long soft green stems,
finished off at the end with thy buds.
BunChcs of green velvet foliage are
sometimes used as substitutes for the
ribbon bow, which has not been alto

As regards the actual collar. an in
trcesting revival Is the Colorcd dctaCh-
able neckband which was so popular
two or three years ago: but the pres
ent fashion requires fringe of the
same colored silk sewn to the lower
edge of the collar.
These neckbands sometimes fasten
in front with pair OF fancy links in
stead of being inyisibly closed at the
side or at the back. 1t is some time
now since frilling has been used, but
1t is being reintroduced as the tiniest
possible lace edging to these neck
bands.
