"The simple little turnover protection collar of white lace and linen is gradually giving place to the linen scrim, which is a little deeper than the white turn-over and which is embroidered more or less elaborately with colored silk or linen thread. Some of the scrim turnovers are opened, with corners, at the front; others are cut apart both in the front and at the back. The stitches are taken in one color of silk or in many colors, shaded or contrasting one color with another. The cut shows a design for corner and edge of collar. The design may be set above a hemstitched hem or may be set close to the edge itself, taking the place of a hem."
