Jabot Designs

HERE are three jabots that are new in lines, easy of construction and and chic in effect, three qualities that you cannot afford to ignore. The jabot, especially in this season of low revere, is almost a necessity, and in the delightful form pictured here it is a luxury. A new plisse is shown at the left. Sheer linen forms scallops on each side of a narrow strip of lace. Valenciennes edges the rounded sections. The same little shop on the Rtfe de la Paix is showing exquisite colored models of the same type. These are worn with colored suits. A pale lavender looks extremely well with any of the purple suits; white touched with hand embroidery in black looks stunning with the mixed suitings now so popular. Ecru lace is combined with these batiste forms, and frequently coinspots of linen thread are aplied to give the models a touch of distinction. In' the central jabot a deep cream tulle is finely pleated to form the straight strip down the front. Tiny black velvet buttons ornament this, and at each side a frill of the tulle (which, as you know, is a fine net) falls in soft fullness. ~ As a square finish the last jabot suggests a use for square motifs or straight lace. The ends give a step-

like effect. Insertion is used to trim the ends. Black velvet ribbon slipped through lace slides is the unexpected touch that the French so thoroughly appreciate and jiftroduce on the accessories. Why not make one of these for your blouse or shirtwaist? They fill in the gap at the front of a coat. They are certainly representative of little cost and great effect.
