the front is left quite free by the
down-turned softpess of white lawn.
The V-shnped opening suits most peo-
pie wonderfully well-much better
than the round, In fact-and alto
gether I am heartily in favor Of this
new form OF neckwear, as 1t should
make 1t possible for every woman to
discard the high collar-bands, which
are not only disfguring TO so many,
but actually injurious to all. For
admit that IL the throat Is to be
shown all round, 1t should be Of the
rounded whiteness, which Is, alas
the privilege Of youth and youth
alone, so that many older women
have not dared to adopt the ordinary
down-turned collar, much as they
would have wished to do so, But
now the "Robespierre" collar solves
fhe difficulty for them. and il they
will take advantage Of it they can
also take years OF their agel The .
"Byron'' model, being more deeply
down-turned, will be better suited to
those more youthful and attractive
necks. though even this affords more
protection at the back than the other
ahapes. which gave "first aid" to the
suffereres from the high collar-band!
Other and larger collars, which are
draped to complete coats and wraps,
are in their latest and prettiest de-
yelopments, combining Bohemian lace
and finely hand-embroidered cambria,

and smartly responsible for other
suoh decorative additions. Some Of
the shapes-and, in fact, most OF
them-form a very deep point, reach
ing TO the waist-line at the back. but
whether they are there rounded, or
pojnted, or square, they are almost
all alike In being Of exceedingly
modest and tapering size in front
There is, indeed. a veritable rage for
lace and broiderles OF all kinds. and
some very effective combinations OF
black and ecru or ochre shadings are
notable, the black usually supplying
the foundation of net and the color
coming into evidence as a border,
