OLD IDEAS COME BACK

NECKWEAR POPULAR SEASONS AGO IS TO BE FASHION AGAIN. Advance Fall Styles Indicate a Return to the Close-Fitting, Turnover Stock Collar Which Found Favor In the Past. Good-by to the rolling flare collar we have reveletMM'AJl the season. Goodby to the wiwbfl®edlcl collar and its fascinating varieties. - . Coming events have cast their shadows before in the shape of important models which are destined to rule the fall styles in neckwear. AU of these foretell with strong emphasis the return to the high-neck, close-fitting, turnover stock collar of two or three years ago. Severely plain, fancy frilled, sometimes - open in the front, but never anything but high and snug-fitting in the back. One model is a plain, uncompromising stock, carried out in soft handkerchief linen. It is three inches high in the neck, and buttons down the front with four tiny, round linen buttons. A turnover of embroidered linen, fitting closely at the sides and forming long points in front and back, gives an air of distinction to this model, which is very suitable fpr wear with a tailored morning gown or waist. tie of narrow black or colored ribbon can be worn with it, to harmonise with the dress or to form a smart note of contrast. Another model, which is pictured, is also a high, tight-fitting stock, but the severity of its style is considerably tempered by the hemstitched frill which edges the deep turnover. This collar is m'ade of fine, sheer lawn, and has a very soft and dainty effect. Yet another model caters to the desire of many of us who have become so attached to the open neck, with little or no collar touching the skin, that we shall take'only slowly to a completely high-necked style. This

collar, too, is more suitable for an afternoon gown, and the particular model noted is of fine linen elaborately embroidered and edged with lace. High and fitted snug to the neck as the back, this model turns over on the dress *in front, leaving a V-shaped opening. In all the stores the wide, flare collars are on sale at a discount, very much reduced, and only in the more exclusive houses is it yet possible to see a few forerunners of the coming changes. Hence it behooves those who are not In town every day, those visiting town from the West and an of us who have , already begun to think about our fall outfit to look before we leap, or, at any rate, before we make any very important decisions. If a man is attentive to his wife in public she will overlook a lot of private neglect.
