DAY OF FUR COLLAR GONE

Embroidered Linen or Net Has Taken its Place as the Sun's Raya Are , Becoming Warmer. j One of the positive signs of warmer' weather is the replacing of the furj collar on the coat with one of em-f broidered linen or net. This season} shows a marked preference for the* latter and many handsome designs* are displayed at the needlework, shops. The clever woman can duplh cate these at home with little tvon-j ble or eipense. Purchase a Quantity of plain white! net of a proper weight; not too eoareei nor too fine. The best result is obtained when 1 embroidering net, by stamping the design on lawn and carefully basting the net over it The pattern wilt show plainly through both thicknesses! of fabric, and when you hare completed the entire design, cut away, the lawn. This leaves the design l firmly worked on the net alone. To the scalloped edge whipstitch an edging of Irish crochet, cluny or rafe enciennes’Tace. Two finely plaited, graduated frills are joade of the net and edged with lace. These are joined to the front of the collar for the purpose of covering the revers of the coat. This is an effective garniture for the sober-hued worsted coat, and every woman should supply her wardrobe with a collar of embroidered net.
