APPROPRIATE FOR THE NECK /
Pretty Things That Have Been Given
the Sanction Of 5est-Dressed
Partisan Women

The jabots, plisses and rabats are
more important than ever In the
decoration of separate blouses and
bodies of one-piece frocks. Here are
some notes taken at showing In one
of the well-known lingerie shops not
far from Paquin's.
The larger the better. This seems
to be the rule for fashioning frills
of either lace or linen.
One-sided effects predominant. A
central strip Of lace, tucked material
or embroidery is fianked on one side
by an immense frill. Beading, eyelet
embroidery, lace, heavy and fine, may
be used at the line Of junction, and
ball fringe has made its appearance
on some novelties.
Pleatings of net are edged with lace
motifs in heavy Oriental weaves or
fine valenciennes. Sometimes a
pleated frill will be edged with two
or three other frills of pleated lace
The possibilities of variety are unlim
tied.
Jabots or plisses are extremely wide
and long. In the majority of cases
they extend to the waistline and over
as far as the shoulder. The shape Is
generally broader at the top than al
the bottom.
Black buttons of satin or velvet are
introduced on lace.

BEST COLOR FOR CURTAINS
Strange That Gray, So Eminentiy
Appropriate, Has Not Been More
Largely Made Use Of.

In one of the popular plays of the
day the woman who Is artistic Will
get an idea we'll worth following as to
house decoration. In one Of the
scenes room is decorated with gray
curtains.
Why, says the artistic woman, has
she not thought of gray curtains be-
fore? Why adhere to blue and brown,
rose and white, when gray makes a
frame for the outside world that is
inimitable? It softens the garish
brightness OF an azure sky. and Grapes
the sad day with sympathetic har-
mony. Moreover, gray tone with
any room is never obtrusive, does not
weary the senses, is dignified, charm
ing and picturesque. 1t is, in short, a
perfect choice.
Gray curtains made of chintz.
China silk and sheeting. or the
sumptuous brocade and satin, are the
ideal accompaniment of the house
where every color schemesis kept in
low tones. The result Is a habitation
very soothing to the eyes and nerves
and one Of which nobody wearies
quickly.
White walls go we'll with gray cur
tains and they should be hung with
engravings. Steel tenders and fire
irons complete the picture and the
electric light fittings match. The
mahogany furniture shines and the
damask and silver that deck the table
at meal times are at once simple and
splendid In design. Solid comfort is
the motto of the home, and curtains
of gray will carry out this motto.
