Inexpensive Gifts in
Collars and VeSteeS

a COLLAR and vestee in sheer or
"a candle, to wear with tailored suits
will be welcomed by every woman and
costs almost nothing but the time for
making. The f1aring collar is finished
with hand-embroidered scallops or a
band of fine narrow swiss embroidery,
or lace, which extends down each side
The collar and vestee must be cut
separately and joined at the neck line.
The collar is wired to make it stand
and fare correctly.
A brilliant vestee, with collar and
revers of f1lmy lace, is pictured made
of brocaded velvet and shadow lace.
The vestee is band about the neck
gradually widening to the waist line
where it is trimmed into points. 1t
fastens just above the points with
hooks and eyes, and here three small,
fancy buttons are set on for ornament.
A short rufle of lace forms a fiaring
collar which is supported with fine
wires. The revers are made Of straight
pieces of lace draped in at each side
and at the top in the neck line. Made
of bright colored brocades this is one
of the prettiest of novelties to be worn
to embellish the blouse.

Sashes and Girdles
Among Best of Gifts

AIO ONE need remain long in doubt
IN as to what to get for maid or
matron in this day of the vogue OF
girdles and sashes. A girdleless gown
is hardly to be found and whether for
the street, the home, or evening wear,
ribbons are used to form the circlet
that enfolds the waist or terminates
the bodice. There are any number OF
styles in girdles and sashes to choose
among made of every variety of weave
known to the loom and every color
and combination Of colors that has
been thought out.
A girdIe of wide plaid ribbon, fin
ished with q sprightly bow of two
loops and two ENDS, is shown in the
picture. 1t makes a Christmas gift
that will delight every woman who
likes to keep abreast with the mode.
The girdle portion is boned to spread
the ribbon and hold it in place with
out pins. The bow is simply tied and
may be united and the length wrapped
about the figure if preferred.
