THE new NECKWEAR.

Now, that fashion has entirely veered
about in the matter of dressing the
neck and is again covering it to the
earIobes, there is perfect rush to
secure the new tall collar effects. Yet,
any of these novelties can be easily
made by the skillful-fngered. Par
tfcularly smart in finest white linen is
a model patterned after mans wing
collar, but below the slightly turned
over fronts it is twice buttoned with
the tiniest of linen discs, running
through practical buttonholes. About
the neck's base, from back to halfway
round, goes a heavily stitched linen
band to which buttons inch-wide black
velvet ribbons that cross under the
chin and fall almost to the waist.
a second white linen collar stands
very high about the throat, but turns
straight over across the back, while
tab-turned-over fronts run diagonally
forward and are held fiat by black
velvet string tie which also has long
and loose-falling ends. Sometimes the
black velvet ribbon tie is endless, as
in the case of that encircling the base

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

We are always glad when somebody
thinks Of something new and places
it within our reach on the market. This
refers most particularly to dress fab
rics, for when the same old materials
are on hand, season after season, with
out variety, it is monotonous to a de-
gree to see the gowns and frocks of
all occasions built of the same stere-
otyped materials in each and every
case.
For this reason we welcome all such
new weaves as satin damour, Georg-
cite crepe, libellule taffetas.. peau de
chat, wool crepon, faille. and many
ors on the list one should be- satisfied.
Cream colored Georgette crepe is
combined with chiffon taffeta in the

accepted styles. Therefore. the new
kind of black velvet evening gown
which has a high-waisted belt and a
long train has been exceedingly ad-
mired and many women are wearing it
who say that the universally of the
moyen-age made them decide on the
first empire.
Another distinct feature of this new
type of gown is the use of cloth of
jet, which is the fabric of the moment
in millinery and will soon become SO
in frocks. The newest hats are made
of this material and the gown which
is sketched today shows its use in
an empire evening gown.
The sparkling cloth begins in a mar
row line in one shoulder and falls
across the figure to the knees, goes
around the skirt and runs out to a
point on the long black velvet train.
The narrow belt is made of gold braid
embroidered in jet.

GRIDDLE CAKES.
Pancake Scones.

Brownie Cakes.
Mix one-ha1f a pound of oatmeal,

Matinees and Such.

Swansdown as a trimming for dress
ing jackets and tiny edgings of white
fur have great vogue, and are par
ticularly seasonable.
1t is astonishing what cozy little
matinees can be made from a few yards
of chiffon with such an edging, or how
pretty the new woolies are when thus
finished. The quilted satin bed jackets
are being copied in shape in these new
wooden fabrics, many of which show a
velvet-looking flower embossed on
them as pattern.
The design is not velvet, however,
but of the softest wool woven in some
new fashion, which is washable, and,
therefore, greatly enhances the value
of the material for such garments.
Collars and cuffs of white organdie
are charming adornment for sim
pie, smart dress for the little girl.
The most splendid evening wraps are
made of gold and silver brocades, far
ing SO much as to be positively bizarre.

the Georgette. 1t has two ears and
only one loop. 1t may be made of va
rious materials.

plaid Probably the heroic wor-, done
by the different Scotch regiments in the
war may account for the popularity OF
this design.
1t is alone however. in the field OF
colored street suits. The one shade OF
red which is adopted by young women
is known as Bordeaux and has not
enough blatancy in it to be consplcu-
Gus. 1t is also toned down with dark
fur. 1t is not very popular, possibly
because it was so much worn last year
Black is not so much worn LOT the
street as dark blue, but for the even
ing it is still preferred by the majority
of women to all colors- Therefore, in
the realm of street clothes. the colors
are quiet and inoffensive.
There are several reasons for this,
the chief of which is economy. Wom-
en- who have a larger number OF even
ing gowns than day gowns do not
dominate American life; the woman
who wants one good-lookIng evening
gown, or possibly two, is the one to be
considered, for she is multiplied many
times
There has been a tendency to bring
back a bare suggestion of the empire
line in gowns which are worn for din
ner parties, although the black velvet
gowns made by Worth have been the
best models of the season, accentuatlng
the long waist line and the fiat hip yoke.
Old Line Creeps In.
1t is strange how an old line, or
drapery, or trimming will creep up
as soon as the new thing has been
established and find many follow
ers; the reason is there are certain
women who get quickly tired of the

EVENING GOWNS OF BLACK VELVET.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.
al Corresrondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The star.
NEW YORK, December 31--Whether
or not black is universally becoming
color, it appeals to every woman be-
cause it has an economical sound. 1t
has the advantage over color in that
it can be worn constantly without at
tracing the public attention.
When Paris went into mourning as
1t Gid in September, it was generally
conceded that black would be the
preferred color for the entire season,
and the prophecy has proved true.
Americans have worn it as much as
have the women of Europe, but dur
ing the last few weeks there has been
a growing fondness for different coiors
for the street; not violent colors, but
there are many shades of tan and deep
cream in use A dark green and blue
plaid is the only conspicuous colormg
worn. and it is more generally adopted
than one thought possible at the be-
ginning of the season.
