HIGH COLLAR PARIS VOGUE
All French Garments Do Not Have

Collar Is Favored.

Persistent are rumors that come
from Paris that the high collar is a
commanding note Of the current vogue
"a story that is borne out by a page
In the French magazine "Femina," de-
voted to new blouses. Though they
do not all have a choker collar. all the
blouses in the group have collars Of
generous proportions, an unusual con-
trast with the fiat oval that has been
long included in French blouse STYLES.
There is, however, good proportion
of collars boned to stand up to the
ears, reminiscent of the days when
embroidered strips were in great de-
mand to make separate choker collars
Two of the prettiest French waists
have this high collar growing out Of
yoke that capes the shoulders, one
Of self material set into the model, the
other of lingerie against a silk blouse,
the yoke falling over softly in bertha
fashion. Both collars flare out IN
der the ears, one with a bow Of rib

finish.

A few days before the wedding the

every member of the bridal party

played at the wedding. On the day Of
the wedding motors are sent for the
maids and the maid of honor, who as.

they receive their bouquets. At the

TO REVIVE SWISS
Dotted Fabric, Popular Years
Ago. for Summer Wear.
New Material Will Be Different From
That of Grandmother's Day;
Wider Color Range.

/ The simple old times of our grand
mothers are going to be revived this
summer in the use of the dotted swiss
that fashioned the summer gown Of
80 years ago.
OF course, the new dotted swiss
will be somewhat different from the
simple white material Of other DAYS
as the dotted material of this year Is
Infinite I'm its color range However,
there will be considerable plain white
swiss used, as well as the more fan
ciful materials in this designation.
Organize will also be a prime IA

combination of this material with
heavy torchOn lace that was applied
In deep band to the skirt.
In the dotted swiSSeS one of the
most striking models was shown re-
Gently in IA cherry colored dotted swiss

rial. This costume was completed
by hat of dotted swiss with a droop-

quaint and charming gown Of
shell-pink dotted swiss seen recently
showed a skirt with plain front and
back panel and three side tunics made
of ruffieS of the dotted swiss set to-
gether with Organdie eyelet beading.
The bodice was cut on bOlerO lines and
showed vest Of tucked white organ
die and white Organdie beading outlin-
ing the edge of the bOlerO. Two tiny
plated ruffles of the organdie COM
pleted the round neck and short
sleeves, while tiny bow Of black vel
vet ribbon nestled at the throat, with
long ends that dropped TO the waist
line.
Another charming summer frock
done in the admired dotted swiss and
white wolfe is being shown in dawn
blue. The skirt is formed Of three
deep scallOped fiounces of the dotted
swiss, bound with white organdie. that
are set on yoke of the white wolfe.
The wolfe forms the blOused bodice
that has a row of pin tucking down
the front elaborated with white GRO
cheted buttons. The round neck and
short sleeves are decorated with plain
bands of the blue dotted swiss.

The Etiquette of Weddings

~ ALL things that must be ac-
" cOmplished according TO set Gus
toms a wedding requires the closest
following of accepted rules. In order
that the celebration of the ceremony
and all the Incidental events may
move smoothly and successfully, MI
mute attention must be given to all the
details of preparation for the occasion,
from the assembling of the wedding
party TO the departure of the bridal
pair on their honeymoon. Leaving
out the matter of the trouSSeau-which
Is separate affair-there are many
other things that must be considered
and adjusted.
To begin at the beginning-there
are the invitations. AT least three
weeks and even month before the
day of the ceremony. these are to be
sent out TO lists of names which in
clude those furnished by the groom
whose mother or sister assists in max
ing up his list. The brides parents
furnish the invitations and announce
ments and the latter are to be mailed
Immediately after the wedding to
friends who have not been invited TO
attend the ceremony. No near rela-
tive or close friends are to be over
looked. even though they live too far
away to come conveniently. The we'd
ding invitations and announcements
are to be engraved on heavy white
paper, in script or shaded Roman
letters, and cards to the reception
and "at home" cards enclosed. If the
wedding is to take place out of town,
train cards are also necessary and If
In large city cards for admission TO
the church may be required.
At home" cards are enclosed with
announcements. If limited number
of people are to be asked to the re-
ception, the card to the reception will
be left out Of invitations to others.
The invitations are enclosed in two
envelopes, the inner one bearing the
name Of the recipient without any
address and without first names, ex-
cept when they are necessary to
distinguish between members of the
same family. The outer envelope car
ries the name and home address of the
recipient and the names of the street
and state are spelled out. Invitations
are Issued in the name of the brides
parents, If only one of them is living.
In the name of that one, or If the
bride is an orphan, in the name Of
senior relative. A widow without a
near relative to announce her mar
riage issues joint announcement
with the groom. Upon receipt of
wedding invitation and card 10 the
an acknowledgment Is
made Immediately, written in formal
style.
Besides furnishing the invitations
the parents of the bride assume all
other eXpenses-the decoration of the
