Sleeves and collars are the distinctive
features of these costumes. Whether for
afternoon or mOr2ing wear the collar Is
high: not necessarily of the choKer type,

While trimmings are not elaborate on
these gowns, still there are many little
details which offer the clever woman
with individual ideas a chance to make
good use Of them. Cloth-covered but
