NECKWEAR IN LAVISH DISPLAY

Severe Tailormade Effects Are Being Discarded In Favor of GenWhat has become of the tailored girl who looked so smart in her mannish collar and firm, steady four-in-hand? She and all her ilk seem to have passed but with the advent of the frenzy of fluffiness that has seized the feminine world. The few who have survived the billows of laoes and miles of ruffles are marked rarities, and possibly do their own laundering. However, the generousness of neckwear is gradually decreasing and fan frills and Parisian jabots are taking on proportions not only more refined, but undoubtedly more becoming. The small girl with a great white Wing securely pinned to her shoulder would be laughable -were she not so modest and unassuming in manner. But the new neckwear will soon rightfully represent her, as well as the too generously built woman who shies at so much ostentation. Stocks' with jabots to match are the fashionable thing in neckwear, and instead of the lavishly fluted varieties, tfie simple, graduated ’ plait is shown. Hand embroidery and simple thread laoes are 'the favored , trimmings, and a bit of color-is occasionally Introduced by means of ribbon and loops.
