tits worthy of note that all Tie
newest models in collars are accom-
panied by cuffs. This is due to the re-
cen vogue TO, plain tailored serge and
satin frocks, which are to be so smart
for street wear this fall, and which
require no other trimming than the
relief afforded by the white or con-
trasting tones of neckwear. Lovely
little collars cut narrow In the back
and in deep points in the front are
finished with three rows of tiny ruffies
edged with picot; these are accom-
panied by deep cuffs showing the same
trimming.
Most of the collars shown are de-
veloped in sheer organdie, with double
hand hemstitching, hand embroidery
and very narrow frills of valenciennes
lace. A great many of them are fin
ished with black crepe de chine ties
or small taffesn tailored bows.
Filet lace Is extensively used in col.

AND NOW THE PETTIBocKEF
New Enlargement Designed for
Women Who Dance, Skate or En-

A new undergarment of silk jersey,
designed for women who skate, dance
or do active war work, has been
named the Pettibocker and combines
the features of both petticoat and
knickerbockers.
The boomers are gathered on an
elastic at the waist, cut extra FULL and
with cuffs also gathered on elastic
bands. They are long enough to reach
below the calf of the leg, but should
be worn directly below the knee.
Several inches above the cuff of
each leg a f1ounce is attached, slightly
gathered, but 81 put on as not to in
terfere with the width of the bloom
ers at that point.
The flounces are designed to reach
the hem of the outer skirt and elimi-
nate the necessity of a %petticoat, even
when the outer garment is of sheer
materials. rs the f1ounces are az.
tached above the elastics, they will be
pulled up just as the outer skirt is
= lied up when the wearer is sitting,
instead Of showing beneath as did the
flounces of the old tango garters."
