The Middle-Aged Woman.

Of the many ways in which the mid-dle-aged woman may vary the effect of her afternoon gowns none Is simpler than the use of a collar and cuffs of white voile edged with scalloping and embroidery in a floral design. Another change may be the frock set of white chiffon with border of black malines, and still another is the one of black net hemstitched with silver thread. Some of these collars are so King in front that they terminate only at the waist line, where they cross in surplice effect and are tucked away under the girdle. An excellent model of this sort is of light blue lawn embroidered with black dots, and a second is of white argaric trimmed with tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating with eponge.
