C0L0REDC0LLARSIN PARIS
White Neckpi zee Gives Way to Differ
ent Welcomed Shades-Striped
and Checked Ginghams.

A letter from Paris says that the
white collar has given way to a col
ored one. Gowns of jersey, voile and
serge carry broad handkerchief collars
of plaid gingham. Dark suits and one
piece frocks carry high, rolling col
lars and broad, gauntlet cuffs of blue,
rose, lavender and yellow organdie
edged with filet lace or with the or
candle itself.
The use of brilliantly striped and
checked Bingham for entire collars has
met with approval in France, although
1t is still question in allegiance over
here.
The prophecy is that America will
take to these collars with eagerness
We like gingham. Whenever we get a
chance to wear 1t we rush In and al.

gingham collars there will be nainsook

HERE AND THERE IN SHOPS
New Sports Skirt Made of Striped
WooI-New Chiffon Fabric-StraW
Flowers--Piaited Tuile.

One of the new sports skirts is made
of striped wool, the stripes running
up and down. The skirt Is so cut
that the stripes are mitered, begin
ming at hip depth In the back, ard
they meet at the back seam in q cross
wise direction. The two stripes d.
rectly in front run from waist to hem,
forming panel. The two next stripes,
one on each side of the front, are
mitered at hem depth, and so on each
two stripes are mitered higher and
higher until those at the back are mi.
tered at hip depth.
One of the new chiffon fabrics is
made with a deep border running along
one side of silver embroidery, in
rich and intricate design. )
| Straw flowers, not novelty this sea-
son, are shown on some of the new
hats. The very fact that they are not
a novelty has given them chance to

to place about the crown and brim OF
the straw hat. This tulle comes with
wide flouncing laid in plaits, TO
place over the brim of the hat, and a
narrower founcing, likewise laid in
plaits, to stand upright about the
crown. A soft folded band Of tullc
that goes about the bottom of the
crown connects the two widths of
flouncing. With big flower, perhaps
placed against the crown where the
tulle is Joined, the hat trimming Is
complete.
We have heard and seen much OF
braid this season. One striking suit
of sand-colored gaberdine is made with
all edges, including the hem OF the
skirt, bound with self-colored braid 9
couple of inches wide. The sleeves
long, and flaring over the hand, are
slashed at the outside seam and this
slashing, of course, is also bound witt

FOULARD FINDS ITS WAY

Into bathing suits. OF course 1t Is
little previous for most of us to talk
of bathing suits, but in Southern re-
sorts are already to be seen the modes
that will be in favor with us all later
on. These foulard bathing suits are
usually in dark blue or black and
white.

sailor hats have crushed bands OF

Into coat Innings. Sometimes in the

ply the wool deficiencies the lining OF
the coat is of foulard to match the

suit.
Into collar and cuff sets for serge
dresses. The pattern showing polka
dots and ring dots are especially
chosen for collar and cuff sets to be
worn with navy blue or black serge
| street frocks for spring.
Into parascls. Some of the newest
parasols are made of foulard in black
and white or blue and white in all
sorts Of designs. The silk is shirred
and sometimes ruffled and tucked and,
because of its softness, it lends itself
especially well to this sort of treat
