DUTCH COLLAR AND CUFFS

Some Valuable Hints for the Many Who Are Fond of Wearing Dainty Frilla The girl who likes to lighten a dark costume with dainty frills, should make herself one of the seta of rounding Dutch collar and cuffs in plaited lawn. The frills are made of fine white lawn or dotted muslin. They are cut three and a half inches wide for the collar and two inches for the cuffs. Mark the edge in a .tiny scallop with a spool of two hundred cotton, and buttonhole in white or colored mercerized cotton in a shallow line. When finished sew into eighth of an inch side plaits and sew into narrow band the right length to fit around wrist and neck. The frill falls softly from the band or in the sleeves may be inverted and turned back, being caught at one side with a lace pin. Instead of arranging in plaits, which are hard to iron, the frills may be run in thread tucks to give the fullness. This model is good for high turnover effects and for the Dutch collar. For the latter the strip should be made narrower at the ends than in the middle.
