Their many meetings have brought

Something new in neckwear has
lately been added to the array of crisp
and dainty pieces that came In with
the fall season. The new arrivals are
made of the same materials but have
taken their cue from the high collars
of wraps and street gowns. and their
foundation is a band, fitting close
about the neck, and as wide as it can
be worn.
To this band OF thin material, wings,
tabs, and flaring pieces are added in
variety of shapes and finish that
seems unlimited. Fine embroidery on
sheer fabrics makes them elegant, but
their crisp daintiness is fragile
quality. and hence it is necessary to
replace them often. for it is just these
qualities that they are expected to
lend to the costume. Two good ex-
amples of these novelties are pictured
here and they serve to show the es-
sential features of all of them.
The design at the left might be
made. apparently. from embroidered
handterchiefs. 1t Is merely a fitted
band of organdie finished at the edges
with small buttonhole-stitched seal
Tops and having flaring piece of the
same kind set on at each side. The
surface is decorated with scattered
embroidered dots and little flower

Dresses for Girls.

High waist lines are the rule for the
little girls thin dresses. Like grown
up dresses, the skirts of these dresses
are very laring and frilly.
The skirts OF tulle and chiffon
dresses or those of lingerie, batiste or
very thin silk are often finished at
the hem with three little ruiiles. These
are only about three or four inches
in width and are not gathered very
full. A picot edging is used often
instead Of lace to finish them. or
very narrow satin ribbon. perhaps
in a double lengthwise stripe.
Little puffed sleeves that come only
halfway to the elbow are considered
very correct, and they go well with
the general empire contour Of the
gown.
In linen dresses the empire waist
line has belt of the same that has
a slot inset in the middle of It Of an
other color.
