IMPORTANCE OF
PRETTY NECKWEAR

Dainty. frilly and gauzy neckwear is
one of the great features of smart dress

of neck fixing is of two Sorts that meant

neck and coming down ut the front in

a matter of bows bow being A broad term
which takes in almost everything in the
way OF u little fabric ornament which
doesn happen to be anything else.
Let us consider various items in these

To begin with the so-called bows. one
may say that they are made chiefly of

velvet ribbon. They serve to finish the

FOREIGN FASHIONS
AS FOLLOWED HERE

Paris milliners have endless ways of
varying the shape and trimming of the
small black hats The latest have high
square crowns. concealed beneath a
broad ribbon of satin panne or velvet,
tied simply in a fiat bow toward the
back. A more elaborate trimming con-
sists of a fan-shaped mass of aigrettes,
either white, violet. mole-color, pale yell
low or black, placed in front at the sum-
NIT of the crown.
This fan extends on either side above
a gracefully upturned brim.
The black and white aigrettes are
chiefly favored by Parisienncs.
At the Paris theaters the latest whim
is to match the aiGrette and the color of
the hair, and American women therefore
get these aigrettes in hcnna-rcd, black
and white.
Fashions in fur occupy attention just
now. and those who are fortunate enough
to have partly worn or old-fashoned
models should take the opportunity to
have them cut up and used III the new
