SECRET OF 'CHARM'
TULLE FOR EVENING SCARFS
FiImy Material, When Used to Swathe
Neck and Shoulders, Provides
Youthful Background.

Interest is shown in evening scarfs
Of filmy tissues which may be thrown
across the shoulders either for draft
protection or merely TO heighten the
artistic effect of the gown itself.
While many women admire the rich
lace scarfs of Spanish persuasion,
those of applique lace or of Syrian eff
feet, there are many others who pre-
fer tulle bought by the yard and which
is used to swathe the neck and Shout
ders in charmingly youthful frame.
The disadvantage of these impromp-
to scarfs lies in their perishable quail
". However, their purchase price is
not great and they may be renewed
frequently without involving the pos
SCISSOR in any wild extravaganza.
Many OF the new net scarfs are Of
fered in pastel colors and these are
trimmed with lrideScent paillettes in
the form Of narrow border along the
edges and wide border across the
bottom. In some instances the latter
is supplemented by either silk or
bead fringe.
There are also scarfS of dark tulleS
and georgette crepes which are printed
in rich contrasting col0rS and finished
with hemstitched or beaded border.
