COLLAR FORMS BACK AGAIN
But They Are Not the Uncomfortable
Things in Style Some Few
Seasons Ago.

Now that high collars are in fash
ion again, the shops are selling col
lar forms. You remember the forms
that we used to buy? They were
made of crinoline or buckram or net
mounted with stiffeners, and they sim
plified the making of stiff, standing
collar most decidedly, and they we're
as uncomfortable as fashion demand
ed. The new forms are like them in
most respects-but they are not un-
comfortable. That is because the new
collar is not uncomfortable, for it is
low in front, although very high in the
back. That is to say, the collar that
needs stiffening flares high at the back
but makes a V-closing in front One
of these forms could be easily covered
with silk or with chiffon.
