eyes and nose, but throws the uncov-
cred mouth into high relief. If you
have gray hair, do not wear brown

some claim to beauty. leave for others
the artistic type of floating veil which
only beauty should wear.
There are scores of wells in every
shop, and scores Of yards of face
wells; there is pattern to suit every
race, every complexion.
Another point about veilings: Be
sure to have plenty always on hand
and keep them very daintily. And
buy the best you can afford. A twenty
five cent face-veil soon becomes
stringy and unpresentable; dollar
and half veil will last, with care,
whole season. Have on hand strips
of cardboard ten or twelve inches long
and perhaps four inches wide and fold
the veil around one Of these strips the
moment 1t is taken off. The folded
wells can be kept one on the other in
special box and will never become
rumpled and stringy as wells thrown
loosely into a dresser drawer always
do. Never fold veil into a wad and

A New Neclstie Arrangement.
A very attractive collar for wear
with morning blouse of tub silk is
the model of white organdie with q
sailor tie of colored silk and little
silk-covered buttons to match. It Is
new idea to bring the tie from the
outer edges of the collar and Of
course this tie is in two pieces and
does not pass all the way around I'M
der the collar but instead, is attached
to it by the silk buttons An easier
way for laundering purposes, would
be to sew the buttons to the collar
SO that they may be ripped off with
a snip or two of the scissors and then
to tack on the tie. Cravats of ribbon
or velvet appear on almost all the
new collars and add much to their
smart style. Inch wide black MORE
or velvet ribbon makes a very chic
cravat; and a great deal of picot edged
grosgrain ribbon is used The best
looking cravats are black. for colored
ribbon on neckwear Is nearly always
unfortunate.
Two of the modish collars for
autumn are the Henry II and the
Valesquez. The former style, erect
and unstiffened. outlines a neck well
cut out in round or elongated line.
Sometimes the collar is higher at one
side than at the other in coquettish
effect. The Valesquez collar is most
artistic and is of course copied from
neckwear worn by the cavaliers and
courtiers in Valesque5 paintings. 1t
has a fiaring top rising from a well
cut out neck-line and this top portion
is attached to moderately deep cape.
In almost all instances the Valesquez
collar is trimmed with-a narrow lace
edge.

warm days of early September many
crisp neckwear sets add smartness to

is pictured. The cuffs in extravagant

who keeps up with the last word of
Paris is likely to know which models
are unequivocally new and which, left
overs from q past season.
The woman who wishes to be ex-
ceedingly chic this fall, will go in for
choker effects about her throat. All
Paris is wearing tall collars and
swathed effects at the neck-a most
uncomfortable style to be sure. But
since the choker vogue never obtains
great favor with American women,
and quite as many open-at-the-throat
collars are seen over here as high
ones, I have picked out for you today
the prettiest models I could find in
the open style. All of these collars are
authoritatively new and some of them
are fresh from Paris shops.
Organdic The Favored Collar Fabric.
Practically all the new neckwear
built'to be laundered is of sheer white

color is added in narrow hem of
pastel tinted organdie applied with
hemstitching. White organdie is en-
broidered with color, and pastel tinted

Its narrow red hem turning down at
the front to make room for the chin.
To this tall collar are attached two
long tabs that widen at the lower
end and finish in a semi-circle. The
red hem runs all around each tab
and at the rounded end a half-inch
shirring of white net is set in with
hemstitching. Four white crochet
buttons add to this clerical collar the
smartness that buttons always, some

just from Paris. There are two turn
overs falling from the high, feather
boned foundation which fits neatly
around the neck. The first turnover
is composed of eight long tabs of the
organdie which spread out over the
shoulders. At the upper end, these
tabs are run with pintucks to make
them fit closely to the foundation
band. Over the tabs is the second
turnover, a narrow, straight collar en-
broidered by hand which does not
meet at the front This most trying
but extremely chic neck finish is
matched by cuffs with tabs fitted to a
foundation by pintucks, the tabs ex-
tending up over the sleeve; and
narrow turned back cuff is hand en-
broidered like the turnover on the col
lar.
Cartridge Pleats And Pleated Frills
Cartridge pleated frills are ire
mendously smart on neckwear now,
and some of the shops are carrying
cartridge pleating by the yard. just as
they carry pleated organdie and net
ready to attach to collars that have
been laundered-for there is no doubt
that the life of a pleated frill is brief;
the first laundering ends it's useful
ness. From the Galleries Lafayette
also, is collar of pale pink organdie
trimmed with three rows of cartridge
pleating, made of the material At
the edge, this collar is hand scalloped
in white. 1t is deep, circular collar
reaching to the armhole of the bodice
beneath and as far down from the
neck at back and front 1t is in the
new choker effect-that is, 1t is built
up on a tall neckband with feather
bone stays to keep it crisply erect;
but at the front the collar is allowed
to open in V. The modish collar
this fall opens very modestly; the V
comes only just below the collar
bones but looks much deeper than it
is because the back of the collar is
mounted SO high on the feather boned
neckband.
Still another Paris collar shows a
strip of black velvet ribbon for a neck
band This needs no stiffening The
ribbon is about two inches wide and
ties at the front in a bow. Above
it rises a plisse frill of white organdie
with narrow hem of pink organdie;
and the deep cape-collar of white or
candle is made of many godet sections,
each hemmed all around with pink
organdie. These sections have round

ing the ostrich plume fern whose
fronds are broad and feathery. For
the fern dish, the spider ferns are the
favorites because of their size, as they
do not grow to over foot in length of
stem. Their fronds are once divided
and the divisions are long and point
ed. One has bold white line through
the center Of each frond, another is
beautifully crested, some are varie-

The shield or lace ferns and the

The latter has its rootstock resting

yellow hairs, which resemble a hare's
foot. When 1t becomes necessary for
