COLLARS AND JABQJS

ACCESSORIES THAT GIVE THE TOUCH OF INDIVIDUALITY. Choice of Styles Is Wide, Therefore Selection Should Not Be Hurriedly Made—Two of the Prettiest Popular Designs. The simplest frock of linen and gingham can be given a touch of individuality by the collar and jabot, which can reflect the new styles, show handwork and give freshness in either white or color at the top of the blouse. Twine-colored etamlne is combined with strawberry pink linen in a pretty collar. This is a plain shape, but the alliance of th 4 two materials gives an extremely smart effect. At the corners are conventional roses embroidered in pink wool. Two long ends of the etamine are edged with pink linen and embroidered. Pale blue linen is also seen, combined with sheer white linen, the latter tucked and forming the upper part of the collar. The vandyke points are of blue and points of ecru lace finish the collar, the whole being edged with a pleating of sheer linen. A broad tucked bib hangs In front, the points of blue linen and heavy lace edging it. A pink ribbon bow trims the top. Another extremely popular model is of pale pink, linen combined with fine white linen and Irish lace. Pink coral buttons are used on the pleated jabot, and long lines of pink floss are embroidered on the edge of'the top collar and the long jabot. Striped linen in blue and white trims a collar with the straight vest effect. This shows width over the shoulders, very shallow In front A band of striped linen is set one inch in from the edge, a ruffle of linen finishing it. The straight piece In front is of striped linen in the center and narrow strips on ; each side trimmed with pearl buttons and loops on soutache. Around the straight piece is a ruffle of linen. ' Heavy raspberry-pink linen is used to trim a collar of sheer white linen in' a modified sailor collar. The pointed top is of pink, with the color carried out in embroidery in each corner. A pleated white jabot drops down from the center. The pointed end is edged with pink and a line of pink linen buttons trims the front. Any color with white will carry out this idea. The high price of hand-worked collars and jabots puts a variety of them beyond the reach of the usual purse, If they must be bought. Handwork should be possible to every woman who is not an idiot It is easy and admits of many innovations. It can be equally effective in either simple or elaborate form. Its distinctive, individual note is always appreciated by the well-dressed woman. How easy it is! If you once try the touch of handwork, especially on accessories, you will become an ardent follower of the thread and needle. It will in all you to success.
