A striking dscollstags has material
carried up the middle Of the neck to
q high collar Of brilliants.

| NEW YORK. July lJ.-Since tn
fight began for more modest decollet
age and less exposed ankles in the frs
summer OF our great war, there ha'
been much originality IN the wa,
bodices are cut out al the top.
II was the Duchess de Vendome who
at the beginning Of the war in Paris
adopted what is known as the delta
decollctage for the evening, wher
gowns were a bit more ceremonial thar
those worn in the afternoon This
decolletage got its name from lis shape
II was quite wide at the base and
stretched up on each side to a narrow
opening at the top OF the neck
Janice Meredith cut her gown in
somewhat this fashion. and the lovely
Lady Kittie Duer also knew the beauty
of this decolletage. with its fall OF lace
high against the neck at the back and
the gradually opening delta in front
that gave such charming contour to
the swell Of the chest and the white
ness OF the flesh
The Duchess de Vendome wore n
black velvet gown to the opera in Paris
one night when the eyes OF the world
were upon the audience. and the bodice
OF this was cut in the old fashioned
delta shape which ruled when Our land
was throwing off the yoke OF England
and our women were yet flirting with
the good looking British soldiers in
their coats Of red and their trouserf
OF white
In those days, the delta decolIetage
went with the powdered hair and the
patch on check. Today, II goes with
the Oriental coiffure rolled closely TO
the head, brought low over the brows,
and kept in place with an invisible
net, but il looks we'll with such a head
placed above It,
How Clllot Cuts the Neck.
Another compromise between the alb
surdly low gown Of the immediate past
and the more discreet bodice which
good taste demands at this time, is the
bodice which resolves itself into a net
work OF necklaces over the shoulders.
Callot invented this idea,
This house has shown bodiccs that
were held up in the Oriental manner
by strings OF Jewels that converged
toward eweled collar. The effect
was barbaric, and it took an amazing
" good looking woman TO carry il of,
but neither of these objections to its
popularity deferred the house OF Callot
from hammering on this one note
throughout six years.
Today, America has adopted Il in
form. Sometimes, there are
iour broad bands Of jeweled net or en-
broidered chiffon. which are passed
over the shoulders from the back to the
front OF the bodice. with another band
to serve a. an armhole for the flowing.
Oriental sleeve that now attaches itself
to 80 many evening frocks.
Taking this Callot trick rs a basis,
there are dressmakers who are cutting
informal evening gown, with strips OF
tulIe running from a high, jeweled col.
~ to the girdle, and these strips are
noG AtfAfhGEls each other, thus show
it&sHs nesh urthe neck as the wearer
moves.
Another New Invention.
One OF the very clever new idea, in

Perot, who has made her debut as
brilliant dancer and who Is being gown
ed by Lucille. When Mrs. Castle and
