Unobtrusive New Styles in Neckwear

Women are NOT running AFTER
strange gods in neckwear this spring.
There are some new departures in the
styles but they are unobtrusive and
no one kind of neckpiece is dominant,
overshadowing others. rs the jabot did
last spring. Favor is divided among
several good styles and much atten-
ton given to the development of them
to the last degree of daintiness. This
spring the guimpe. the vestee with
collar attached, the stock collar and
tie and the long collar with cuffs to
match are receiving the greatest
mount of consideration.
In so many of the new spring suits
coats r open in the front to the
waistline; that a waistcoat or vestee
comes In as a matter of course as the
most logical of accessories. But N
must put up a brave front these days,
whether the suit Goa allows an ex-
panse of waistcoat to show Or not.
Therefore, collar and cuff sets have

tality. They are of white wash satin,
of white organdie or crepe georgette,
or of a combination of white and a
color. They are simply and daintily
finished; little frills, scalloped edges
and embroidered dots holding first
place in the choice of decorations for
them. A set of this kind is shown in
the picture, with a jabot and high
collar of net in which embroidered
dots also serve as a means Of adorn-
ment. An added daintiness comes of
using very sheer swiss-organdie and
making the collar and cuffs double as
shown in the picture.
Soft white collar fabrics like gaber-
dine, cross-barred with fine lines in
black or blue, are used for high stock
collars with four-in-hand ties attached.
Vestees with high collars finished with
rows of little pearl buttons are made
of the same materials. These win all
delight the woman who likes trim,
mannish touches to add to her tailor

The new sweater is made of narrow
satin ribbon, instead of worsted. The
first one brought to this country from
france contained 1000 yards of baby
ribbon, yet the cost was less than the
average silk sweater. These sweaters
are promoted by the French to con-
serve wool. The idea is very clever
and will undoubtedly appeal to hun
dreds of women who can do the work
at home.
