LIKE THE SEPARATE COLLAR

No Accessory of the Season Has Been Received With More Genuine Appreciation, An accessory which can be adopted with greater confidence is the separate white collar to be worn with the coat. A few years ago girls and younger women wore embroidered white collars over their coat lapels, but the present renaissance of the fashion is in a different form. The collars now worn are much more attractive and elaborate. They come in all the modifications of the square or rounded cut and very often end in the long ruffle or plaiting which 1b bo great a fad just now. Others are in the shape of a modified fichu. They are both becoming and practical, as they protect the waist underneath. Especially with a collarless blouse —that is to say, an open-necked one—they are almost necessary. Otherwise the hard line of the coat is very trying, both in appearance and in feeling.
