NEW COLLAR FABRICS.

There was time. long years ago,
when We used to wear high. stinened
collars of velvet and satin and silk.
We considered those fabrics-velvet
and satin and silk-qute the fabrics
FOR collars in those days.
Then when Collarless frocks came
in we Wore collars OF white wash
fabrics, organdy and muslin Of various
sorts. For, of course, though our frocks
were Collarless they had collars lust
the same. That is. there were Turned
back and rolled over collars. even NOE
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 a neckwear fabric in first favor.
And colored muslns OF various sorts
were also used.
And now here are even some other
unusual materials in vogue for collars.
Ono is scrim, OF heavy, coarse
weave, embroidered. which is used on
some or the froCks OF serge and satin.
Chinese silk-that Is to say silk or
satin much embroidered in the Chinese
fashions another fabric now used
for collars on serge frocks. Needless
to say, this doesn't mean that II YOU
happen to have bit Of such silk on
hand you can simply pin it deity
around the neck of your now blue
serge frock and think you have a col

but your dressmaker can use bit of
this silk for such "A purpose by cutting

N TO sooner had we heard Of the

by smart women than the shops intro
duced them in America. We get
clothes by wireless these days. The

that they can see In their own shops
everything that Europe offers. and al

not accept a novelty as quickly as
france does II takes six months, as
rule, between the general acceptance
OF fashion there and here. We ac-
cept our own fashions, however. more
quickly than We do the French ones
rake the instance of the long, tight
skirt which was put into the channels
OF fashion last fall. This is a good
example of how rapidly the American
continent takes up something tina, Is
introduced here. This skirt is worn
from the r. F. ID. routes to the centres
or all great cities. We are very. very
tired of 1t by this time. 1t goes in at
the knees, back and front, and permits
walking only through a slash at the
BACK. 1t Is sold for any price that one
has in the purse. The reason for the
popularity of the American designs Is
that they are sent out by statesmen
into every place where clothes are
bought and sold.
All of which is to say that when the
Riviera began to show those loose
jersey silk bloNses. which are quite
negligee in APPEARANCE, the American
shops offered them for the Florida Ri
vera. They are merely straight pieces
OF brilliantly colored silk Jersey in a
heavy or thin weave. In golden yell
low, for instance, they look like tho
gold mesh bags that women carry.
They are so supple that they do not
really stand away from the figure;
they Just wrinkle against it, The neck
is high or low, and the sleeves are ell
bow length or long. They are trimmed
with a band Of Jersey in another color.
This outlines the neck and wrists. the
edges of the pockets are put in, and
sometimes the hem, where Il hattens

sorts they will be the smart thing.

is no attempt to have them dcmure,
although 1t is considered quite smart

The American interpretation, how
ever, reveals an. endless amount OF
ornamentation, Jokes tucked or
shocked. embroidered with small fiow.

and gayest colored threads.
As I said, this is a most economical

smock tc be worn for school or play,
as both are serviceable colors.
The smock has great deal of
shocking about the yoke, on pockets
and sleeves and this fine hand work
Is done in many gay colored threads.
A pongee smock worn with n brown
linen skirt Is belted and fine looking
and answers excellently for Sunday
school and rather dressy occasions

sort OF little dress comes very near
to copying the little Dutch clothes ]

Scallops are being extensively used

This Years styles.
However. the children's clothes this
year are very lovely, not only because
OF the exquisite materials Of which
they are made and the radiant colors
but because Of the almost endless
amount Of hand work which orna-
ments everything.
1t Is interesting that the most vivid
and pronounced colors are used for
children's frociSs this year, mean for
their frocks Of wash fabrics. One no
longer marvels at grass green, bril-
liant puppies and lavenders, yellows
| and bright blues which, until few
years ago, were never thought suitable
for little people.
Nowadays these bright and radiant
colors are made still more vivid by the
addition Of every kind Of stitchery
done in very bright colors contrasting
we'll with the little frock. Again two
materials are happily combined for the
making Of delightful little summer
! frocks, as for instance a brilliant blue
chambray has an overdrapery of
| white organdle which forms a long
yoke going on into long sash ends
tying in the back.
The edges of the organdie are over
| whipped with bright blue wool
| stitches and tiny rosebuds are en-
broidered on the front OF the little
! yoke in the same bright colored
| threads. The little smocks are so
smart for everyday wear that they
seem to have crowded the one-time
ubiquitous MILDLY out Of the picture.
These new smocks fall from neck
| to knees for larger girls and are worn
with little boomers Of the same mate
rial in the place OF the petticoats of
long ago. Much hand work orna-
inents these little garments, and IL the
little girl Is quite out OF the very
small child stage her smock will have
either a belt or sash and she will
wear II with a straight little skirt of

TITO complete ones spring ward
robe at least one taffeta frock
must be included. This may
be one Of the new and very lovely black
gowns Of this crisp silk or a stiff and
rather simple and quaint evening frock,
but to be absolutely correct at least
enc taffeta frock must be included in
the seasons outfit.
None Of the silk gowns for years
past has had just the charm and
dignity that the black taffetas Of this
spring have achieved. Indeed, the very
silk itself has acquired a new supple
ness and a softness which gives de-
hghtful drapery effects. Again, these
newer taffetas do not split and crack
as once they did and are therefore a
much better investment than this
sort OF silk was some seasons ago.
Rufnes in Vogue.
Since rufiies are so much in vogue
u Is interesting to note that one Of
the most advanced models developed
in black taffeta silk shows a very
long and narrow skirt with a slightly
hobbled effect carried out by placing
three ruffiee one above the other with
the hens Of the little frills turned up
to the waist instead of In the usual
manner of placing ruffies turned down
toward the hem Of the skirt. This is
one OF the new fancies OF the spring
this OF the upside down ruffie-and Il
gives n distinctive look to all frocks
and proves them Of the latest model.
On the particular black dress of
which I have spoken the very long
front panel is unbioken from the
square neck quite to the bottom of the
skirt, except by the ruffies, and I'M
trimmed except for a straight row of
black silk buttons placed straight
down one side. The back has a
slightly draped hustle effect and a
sash. and the sleeves are long and
tight.
Just why black should be preferred
in this sort of silk frock 1t is difficult
to say, as for a long time black taffeta
silk was left for the middle aged and
for mourning gowns Certain It il
that nothing Is more up to date at
this time, however, than these severe
silken gowns. The makers understood
pSiAoSby tho eOlteHinS OF ali OF the
harshness taffeta has and indeed since
the newer and softer weaves have been
exploited this stiffness and shininess is
thing of the past.
One OF the smartest Frocks.
One Of the really smart black frocks
has nothing to distinguish 1t especially
as to trimming or ornamentation, ex-
cept in the graceful lines on which It
has been cut, and so beautifully
draped Is the skirt and SO cleverly ar
ranged the bodice and accompanying
sash Of silk that this particular frocf
seems entirely different from any
other I have seen. Not a vestige of
color relieves the black folds and only
short chemisette of the finest and
softest cream batiste breaks the entire
lengths OF black.
The placing of this short little yes-
tee, square and low in the neck and
stopping just below the bust, brings
out one Of the newest ideas for sum-
mer frocks as many silken and georg-
cite dresses reveal those fine. soft and
very short vestees. square across neck

w THEN some women go to shop
| w they really seem TO be look
| ing around for the little
things that give them a momentary
shock. Perhaps the men who run the
shops know this. Perhaps they have
extreme fashions for no other purpose
than this.
When some very few women took to
taking colored wigs certain merchants
Immediately laid In a goodly display
Of colored wigs-not because any of
their patrons would probably want TO
buy them, but because they would like
to see them. And then the country
woman, who comes to the shops so
seldom. looks about and secs these
things and goes home contented.
She imagines that city women in
general have taken to colored wigs,
that they wear purple and yellow
lingerie and $1,000 fur coats. just be-
cause she has seen some OF these

fon lingerie that Is trimmed with n
fringe of ostrich feathers. Could you,
for instance wear ostrich trimmed I'M
der things? Could any one? Yet when
you see them made in coral pink with
the soft feathers OF a deeper tone YOU
cannot help but grant that they are
attractive.
Then there is the newest tailored
lingerie. To he sure. we have all be-

SMART SHOCKS FOR SHOPPER S

with silk braid, heavy silk braid,
stitched on it with much neatness and
smartness. Nevertheless, braid such as
we are used to seeing on white serge
seems rather an odi form of trimming
for underwear,
Perhaps the jet incrusted silk
stocklnGs-black, OF course--will give
the desirable little shock to some
women, They are not at all suitable
for general wear of course, but they
are not unsuitable TO wear with black
Jet trimmed evening frocks.
Another unusual thing is the huge
stiff ribbon bows that adorn some Of
the very clingy new frocks. These
bows are big and stiff and stand out
from the figure, whereas the crepe or
chiffon frocks they aiorn cling to
the figure. 1t is the contrast between
the clinging draperies OF the frock and
the stiff standoutishness OF the rib
bons, just like the sash on II little
girls dress, that gives the thrill Of
surprise. One would have expected
something more subtle than these
stiff ribbon bows; and yet just because
they do not meet our expectations they
gain their best effect.
On the frock OF a tiny little girl of
no more than years OF age there
are, ranging down the front, big pen
dent buttons, made of some sort OF
mould covered with tiny beads, fas-
tened tight together The buttons sug-

used TO button down the front on
grown up women a couple OF decades
ago. But they are pretty.
