High NeCks Here

Velvet and velveteen are being fea-
tured extensively in tailored blOuSeS
developed for fail and winter, and
good many military touches crop out
in the arrangement of sleeves and col
lars. Occasionally an epaulet or
heavy braid in self-colOr will appear
on either shoulder, and again these
shoulder pieces will be developed in
contrasting color.
An extreme novelty that is worth
mentioning, though probably not to be
recommended as leading style note,
is the use of the chamois as trimming
for georgette blouses. Bands of cha
mois' in contrasting color are used to
trim collar, cuffs, vestee, etc., of
georgette blouses, and frequently small
chamois-covered buttons fasten the
garment.
Chenille embroidery is making a
strong effort to rival bead embroidery
as a waist trimming, due no doubt to
the excessive prices now charged for
beads. The chenille is very effectives
but not so dainty as beads, and there
is always a doubt as to whether che
mile embroidery will wear well. 1t
must be laid on in very loose stitch
to be effective.

Keep the Sleeves of Her Frocks
Neat at the Wrists.

Now that long sleeves are in fashion
the fastidiously dressed woman finds it
necessary to take pains to keep the
sleeves of her frocks neat at the
wrists. In light frocks this shows the
soil more quickly than any other part.
With the coming fashion for separate
cuffs of washable material, the problem
really solves itself so far as dark
frocks are concerned. With wash
frock, of course, the only thing to do
is to consign the whole frock to the
tub when the cuffs look sOiled or
mussed up, unless they can be washed
and pressed without disturbing the
rest of the frock.
When separate cuffs are worn with a
dark frock, pins to keep them in place
are quite permissible. Sometimes cuffs
are made with buttons that insure their
neat appearance. But more often
either pins or basting is depended on to
keep them in place. All sorts of little
pins at any price one wishes to pay
are sold for cuffs. Small enamelled
pins in colors harnlonizing with your
frocks are always a good choice, and
the various kinds of silver and gold
pins are also always worth while. For
such purely useful purpose as keep
ing the cuffs neat the more elaborate
jeweled pins are not especially suit.

Charm of crepes.

There is a prediction that crepes
of many sorts will be decidedly fash

women are thankful. They have all
learned of the charm of crepes of va
rious sorts in the last few seasons.
georgette and other crepe fabrics have
been in such wide vogue. Perhaps 3ne
of the chief charms about crepe is that
it clings and falls in such soft and
attractive folds and lines. Moreover,
it is eminently practical, for it does

The girl or woman with the neck so

turn to the new high-necked blouses,

IT. new and fashionable models already
worn by well-garbed women.
In a beige jersey dress there is a
high-stock beige collar which encircles
the neck and buttons in two straps
one side of the collar in front. The
blouse part of this dress is slashed
cut in a long, narrow U-shaped piece,
showing the white lawn guimpe, to
which is attached winged points that
fall over the beige stock.
In an older woman's one-piece dress
the dress top is cut to cross surplice
without draping. Above the pointed
neck opening shows a chemisette of
white pique with an attached stand
ing collar at the sides and back. This
collar folds over at the top about an
inch. The skirt attached to the top
falls in alternate box and side plaits.
It is one of those new coat dresses
which have the half-loose easy fit of a
long coat.
A dull leather belt pulls it in, not to
define the waist, but as in a coat, at
almost hip length. Such coat is much
more becoming to matron, because of

Dave Law was even more amazed
