PRETTY NECKWEAR ELDERLY WOMAN WILL APPRECIATE

ABIT of neckwear, especially suited to elderly women, will prove a pleasing gift to somebody’s grandmamma. This Jabot is made of black taffeta silk and lace in a deep cream color. It is not as simple as most such pieces. Shaped pieces of

silk, cut double, and sewed together In a narrow seatn, leaving an opening through which to turn them right side out The edges at this opening are then carefully blind-stitched together. Older women appreciate fine sewing, and st .pleases them to see painstaking work lr the gifts they receive. The two riangular piecet of silk prepared In this way are Joined by a

narrow band of the silk about three inches long. This band supports the plaitings of fine net or all-over lace which Is sewed to it. This ruffle is edged with a plaiting of lace at the bottom, made of edging throe inches wide. The ruffle of all-over lace is a little less than six inches deep, apd the lace plaiting Is set on at the extreme edge making the jabot between eight and a half and nine inches in depth. Shadow lace is selected for the Jabot in either deep cream or butter-col-or. As a finishing touch the smallest rhinestone buttons, set in black enamel, are used on the lower points of the triangular pieces. The combination of lace and black silk is not the only one in which this pretty surprise can be ‘ developed with pleasing results. The lavender and purple tones and certain shades of green and brown with cream or but-ter-colored lace make jabots suitable to older women and quite as effective as black and white.
