New Medlci Collars.

The new Medici collars, distin-
guished by extended ruff effects in
the back, are gaining wider represen-
tatior and will no doubt be welcomed
on all sides, says the Dry Goods
Economist. The Medicis have the ad-
vantage Of being more generally be-
coming than many Of the Robespierre
styles. The general effect is softer
and more youthful, while the extend
ed ruff in the back affords a delight
full finish. Fine fancy nets and ba-
tistes in combination with shadow
laces and hand embroidery are ia
vored in the development of some of
the most striking novelties. Great in
dividuality is given to this style by
the cut of the jabot or vest effect with
which it is finished
