Varied Neck Finishes.

There are indications that tall, close
fitting stock collars will be part of the
winter sartorial scheme, though as yet
these tall collars swathe only the back
and sides of the throat, the front being
slashed down IN V that makes for
comfort at least a little while longer.
Sometimes plated frill stands UP
from the tall collar at the back in
creasing the effect OF height, but the
decollete bodice and blouse are going
out of fashion and rarely does the Y

extend below the throat line. Smart

DEC0LLETAGE IS LESS

PER PART OF THE FIGURE.
That Change, and the Style Of the
Skirt, Are the Principal Differ
ences in the Prevailing FASH
ions-BIouse Styles.

The skirt and the decolletage are
the principal points Of divergence from
the styles of the last 10 years, and it
will be interesting to watch the fur.
Their development of this fashion. Ev-
erywhere one sees strong evidence
that bodices are growing less trans
parent and the fashion for covering
the upper part OF the figure with
Opaque material is progressing. Prob
ably by the springtime the use of tulle
and chiffon will be greatly reduced.
The Paris designers forestalled this
when they showed in their wartime
openings the bodices of cloth or velvet
for day wear that extended from line
below the waist to the neck, leaving
