SOME NEW COLLAR FABRICS
serim Of Coarse Weave and Chinese
SILK Among the Decorations
for NeelOsear.

There was a time. IGng years ago,
notes q fashion authority. when We
used to wear high. stiffened collars Of
velvet and satin and silk. We consld-
cred those fabrics-velyet and satin
and sIIk-quite the fabrics for collars
In those days.
Then, when collarless frocks came
in, we wore collars Of white wash
fabrics, organdie and muslin Of va
rious sorts. For, Of course. though our
frocks were collarless, they had col
lars Just the same. That Is, there
were turned back and rolled over col
lars, even more important than the
high ones that Rugged and marred our
necks used to be. So we ran along for
years with collars and other sorts OF
neckwear OF organdie and net and
lace.
Then, again. satin came into being
as q neckwear fabric In first favor.
And cOlored muslins Of various sorts
were also used.
And now there are even some other
unusual materials In vogue for cell
lars.
One is scrim, Of a heavy, coarse
weave. embroidered. which is used on
some of the frOcks of serge and satin.
Chinese silk-that Is to say. silk or
satin much embroidered In the Chi
nese fashions another fabric now
used for collars on serge frOcks. Need
less to say, this doesn't mean that II
you happen to have a bit Of such
silk on hand you can simply pin Ii
deftly around the neck Of your new
blue serge frock and think you have
a collar of the most upto-date sort.
No; but your dressmaker can use q
bit Of this Six for such q purpose by
cutting II properly. And very prob
ably she will reiterate the same col
ors In some embroidery or other part
Of the frock.

DEMANDFOR BEADS
Decoration Effectively Used on
Articles Of Apparel.


OF course everyone has noticed By
this time that beads are Just as much
the vogue this spring as ever. Beads
there are on hats, blouses. gowns and
evening slippers. besides purse bags"
are still much beaded, and we wear
beads around our necks, notes q CORE
spondent.
Two patterns Of beads much used
on georgette blouses and frocks that
are very easy to copy are the round
and square designs. The round de-
signs are merely circles Of beads Of
some effective contrasting color, such
as white beads on a coral fabric, or
black beads on yellow, that are sewed
on tunics In circles about as large
as a saucer. Sometimes a bit OF en-
broidery-wool or Silks applied a
a motif inside a circle.
The square pattern is developed ex-
tensively by the use Of the shiny cyl
indrical beads about half an inch long.
These are applied In a very simple,
large plaid to whole dresses or tunics
or blouses. Sometimes Just q two
row border crosses In a plaid at the
corner Of a drapery or a collar.
Coarse wooden beads In natural
wood color. or very bright coiors, are
among the novelty beads trimming
some of the very daintiest frocks.
On millinery, the wooden bead, often
represents the center Of a flower on
a black maline hat Of the midsummer
lingerie type.
A very simple yet striking way to
bead a bag is to use round beads about
the size Of a pea. and sew them on
MORE silk IN spaces about two inches
apart all over the bag. Yellow beads
on dull blue moir are an effective color
combination.
Among the good color schemes to
employ with fabrics and bead trim
mings are cut steel or silver beads on
Copenhagen blue, white beads on rose,
red beads on white, crystal beads on
pale green, bright blue beads on gray
or yellow, white bends on very palest
yellow for a very dainty effect and
black beads on the henna color.
Worn around the neck, beads not
only viii accent or modify a neck line.
but when properly chosen, set on the
complexion.
Beads are an inexpensive but clever
way to add an expensive looking hand
touch to many readymade wearables,
and IL does not take a great deal Of
time 10 DO II. II only striking colors
and designs are chosen; 50. all In all,

COLORS have CALL
Saffron or MarigoId Yellow and
Blue, Popular Shades.


Vivid colors are predominant in the
development Of spring and summer
dresses for children A very bright
saffron or marigold yellow and an
equally bright blue are the two colors
that are notably popular, and these are
quite often combined in one dress.
The sketch shows a dress made OF
a heavy serviceable cotton material In
yellow, with guimpe Of blue cotton
wolfe or handkerchief linen. Velvet
ribbon In a shade to match the guimpe
Is run through openings made for the
purpose on either side Of the front
panel of the dress and tied In a smart
bow at the back. A little embroidered
motif In blue on the yellow dress gives
an additional trimming touch.
These two striking colors are used
for children Of ali ages, rompers for
a two-year-old being very effectively
shown In both blue and yellow, and
tiny little first trousers are made OF
yellow cotton and buttOned securely
to frilled blouse OF blue handkerchief
linen or chambray.
In making summer clothes for the
girl Of four to eight years, the sensible
mother will see to 1t that every little
dress has at least one. preferably two
or three, pairs of boomers to match.
Boomers are preferable to petticoats
for the small girl.

CARE OF VELVET IMPORTANT

Velvet has been In high fashion.
And velvet shows the dust. Two facts
that somehow have to be reconciled

METHODS OF APPLYING BRAID
Three Ways, Entirely by Hand, by
Machine and by the
Combination Plan.

There are three ways Of applying
braid or tape as edge trimming-sn-
tirely by hand, entirely by machine
and by a combination of hand and
machine work. In each case care
must be taken to lease" the btaid

ceeds In order to avoid shrinkage In
