RETURN OF COLLAR IS OFFERING WIDE CHOICE
Designs Are Varied And Wearer
 May Choose To Suit

We have been a long time with out collars. but the days of the plain neckline, if they are not pass ing altogether, are at least having 6 rest and an innovation. This sea son is displaying for our choice, col lars galore and in all sorts and con ditions of design. It is up to the American girl, now, to say whether or not she will be a party to the newer style-whether she will place the sanction of her approval upon the new idea.
 And there is not only one kind of collar that is allowed for the newer dresses. No-their designs are many and varied. You can do almost any thing you please in the way of add ing collar to your frock and the contour of your throat and head can be suited most interestingly if only you make a study of the more mod ern fashions to find out which one is best suited to the outlines of the upper portion of your figure.
 Take the straight, standing collar for instance. That is faVorite with the designers who are putting for ward the modern clothes. That IS the line that they favor above all others. But the awful part of it IS that it is not engagingly becoming to just every girl who comes along. When she can wear it, she Is happy indeed, for she can embroider it or braid it or have it covered with ap- plique and make it fascinatingly be- coming to her style of beauty Oth- CT than this decoration her costume, whether it be a frock or a coat. leaves nothing to be desired. The cellar gives the distinction to the gown and the girl who can wear 1t to advantage has reason to be happy because of the direction which the fashion of the day has taken.
 c. rtsal h hf inn ar and longer neck there are jabots of all sorts. They are positive boon to her personality. She has, no doubt, been mourning them ever since they passed out of style, or if she is too young for that, some- thing in her unconscious personah tx has realized the fact that she would arise to new expressions of beauty once they were allowed her again.
 For the suit, for the coat dress for certain of the one-piece frocks there are additions of frills that will make the gowns of the fall season look distinctive. They are made or net in pleatings, or of organdv or lace. They are soft and becoming in all of their lines and they float about the throat and reach down the front of the bodice half way or all of the way until they form dis tinctive additions to the gown of the moment and something that Is recognized as distinctly a part of the more modern type.
 : Now for coats an costume suits tbe wrapping, folding collars are most important. They are made O. anything from silk to fur and many are the materials that come in be- 1, tween. Width can be indulged in to the last degree There seems no limit to the amount of material that can be incorporated in their mak- ing, but no matter how they are de- slaned nor how much or how little is the quantity of their construction, fin the last analysis they manage to be things that become the modern girl to the most remarkable de- gree. They are becoming adjuncts to her costume on any occasion and not to be ignored when the matter of making up a new wardrobe 's the question of the moment.
 Flat furs are lovely for these col lars and they can be added to frock or coat whether the latter Is short CT long, with the utmost of grace and simplicity. Often collar like this is all that is needed to make the commonplace. The wrapping the suit would be chased only among the common place. The wrapping collar at once adds distinction and charm, and supplies the setting for a personality and expression which every girl nowadays Is striving to attain.
