Pretty Neckwear for Spring.

II ever there was a plain frock or
suit that could not be helped out by
the addition Of pretty neckwear, It
was marvel and its like Is not often
met with just now. Collars, jabots
and collar and cuff sets are playing an
important role In the spring wardrobe.
and designers Of neckwear are casting
about for ideas thnt will give variety
to their products.
During the past month the frilly jabot
has grown into prominence by long
leaps. They are made Of net and lace
and, Of wide net-top laces, and Of
crepe. Most Of them are attached to
high-crushed collars Of like material,
but occasionally the jabot II collarless
and Is fastened to the dress or blouse
with q long bar pin. But the talbot
with high collar is worn with blouses
and waists that are open at the throat
and fail to meet the collar at the
back.
For wear with one-plece dresses,
sets like that shown In the picture
never fail to please. This set IL made
Of organdie. scalloped at the edges and
embellished with small sprays Of EN-.
broidery. The plain effects In these
sets are very pretty. Some Of them
have nothing more than hemstitched

Is wide at the back and split into two
narrow bands at the front which are
extended into sash ends In q style that
appears on many Of the new spring
suits and coats. The tafreta coat, like

with the return Of spring. because its
merit entities It to a permanent place
in the wardrobe. And there are taffeta
coats-and taffeta coats-for all sorts
Of people.
