NOVELTIES TO
DRESS THENECK

4 E. L Ii.
Few things please women mere than
i to twist lace, bit of velvet and filmy
chiffon into becoming novelty with
which to dress up the neck. The idea
! is to have this neckwear becoming
and, of course, this should be the DOM
! inant thought There are so many
STYLES which are considered equally
modish that 1t is comparatively easy
matter to choose becoming style.
/ The frilly iabots have not by any
means been supplanted by the fiat
ones, though the latter are. perhaps,
i little newer. There is something SO
charming in a fluffy, frilly jabot that

men who desire a soft neck fixing next
to the face
The high collars are struggling for
the place which is now occupied by
the low collars, and as the warm days
are coming they are not likely to sue
coed. When high collar or stock is
chosen, however. it Is made very high.
A. narrow ffill. ranging from an inch
to two inches, very often softens the
top edge of these high collars. When
the collar is of satin the frili is of
! net. embroidered batiste or a fine lace,
and when the collar is fashioned from
one of these sheer stuffs. the frill may
be of the satin, though this ID never
as becoming close against the face as
net or lace. One model shows the
! trill of a colored net, matching the
perky little bow which fastens the

introduced in this way, and II one
chooses the color wisely, the effect is
charming, says the New York Tribune.
4 The comfort derived from low cob
lar demands for it an especial interest.
This comfort may be found In the
Medici collar, however. and YET the.
effect of a high collar is given in the
back, The new Medici collars are
made from satin, from net. from
shadow lace and from embroidered ba-
nste. They are not as extreme as the.
earlier models, and are therefore,
more generally becoming. They are
wired at the back and at the sides,
but the wire is almost invisible ana
launders perfectly. A pretty Medici
collar of embroidered linen is com
rleted by fiat .jabot Of the shadow
lace. which is attached to the collar
by bow of black taffeta Sometimes
4 neckband of black taffeta, or MORE,
viii finish the collar, ending In nat
pump bow In the front. The jabots
spreading in butterfly fashion are also
used With the Medici collars. A Med
lei collar in black satin is softened by
plated flillo of shadow lace and COM
pleted by butterfly jabot OF the
shadow lace, which fails In piastron
fashion over the shoulders. Still an
other style shows a Medici collar of
eclorell taffeta with a yokelike jabot
IL shadow lace combined with net.
The. tiny little vestee, with its but,
tons Of taffeta matching the collar, is
edged with the shadow lace.
A particularly pretty neck fixing,
which could easily be duplicated at
home. is fashioned from a fine Irish
linen handkerchief with colored Dor
der. There is a deep Irish lace labot
and over this square jabot, made
from the handkerchief, the border sup
plying the requisite color note. The
high stock is of the linen, with a turn
over edge of the handkerchief border,
and jabots of net with hand emoroid-
cry In the Bulgarian colorings afford
an excellent opportunity for skilful
neediework. The outline of black
should not be forgotten, for this is the
distinctive feature of the Bulgarian
embroidery, the design. being con-
,entional one which any country
might claim.
Another new feature in the spring
neckwear is the long shoulder point
which calls for collars extending well
over the shoulder This idea has been
developed in heavy linen collars, to be
worn with the morning gown, and IN
zeal lace for the more formal occasion.
