~HE Importance of up-to-the-
minute neckwear Is thing ad-
nitted now by all women who
~ profess to dress modishly and
correctly. No single item of dress
has such significant influence on
the entire costume as the neckwear;
the handsomest tailored suit, worn
with a plain little out-of- date collar
will sink into mediocrity beside q
very ordinary ready-made suit smart
ened by the-minute neckwear
and accompanied by the right boots,
gloves and veil.
Just now woman is fairly loading
herself with neckwear. Her throat

spreads out over her shoulders and
froths down her coat front, you are
ready to cast a cursory glance at
suit, hat and minor accessories. But

and exaggerated, it is undeniabl
picturesque; and in most cases it is
enchantingly becoming as we'll.

neckwear makes up in part by being
enormously high at the back. some
OF the more exaggerated collars reach
Ing quite to the ears, and covering
the hair at the nape Of the neck. In
front, the collar may run down In a
OF any depth, from just below the
throat to half way to the waistline.

Though all these new Directoire
