FOR THE COLLAR OR JABOT

Those Fashioned From White Net Are Most Favored and Need Net Be Expensive. White net is extensively employed to fashion many of the loveliest collars and jabots worn at present and many of the most expensive designs can be copied by the clever needleworker. Purchase a quantity of white net and a pattern for a well-fitting turndown half collar, and place the latter over the net folded double. If the edge of the collar is straight lay It along the fold and cut out the material. Neatly join the outer edges, tom the collar and bind the neck with a bias strip of net. In each corner embroider a spray of small flowen or a single daisy, and border the collar with a narrow pleated frill of lace or net. To the collar join pleated frtlla of net four Inches wide, which extend down the front to the base of the V-shaped neck line. Fichus of net are deep sailor collars with rounded corners with the ends extending to the waist belt in front. These are cut from a single thickness of net shiT are bordered with pleated frills of lace or the same material. Tbs finely dotted- or embroidered nets are also used for this purpose. Dainty jabots are fashioned of pleated net arranged in two or three tiers and edged with lace or embroidered scallops. Net Is inexpensive and neckwear of this material IS a becoming addition to any frock. This should be incentive enough for any woman to fashion neckwear for her gowns.
