Fashionable Neckwear in Many Designs

The simple quaker collar of organdio, and the soft, pretty fichu of batiste are just now enjoying a high tide of favor. There is something demure and fine about them, with their little sprays of embroidery, neat hemstitching or insertions and edging ,of narrow lace. They add a touch of quaint pnrt restful style to the frock that is simply made and are almost always becoming. But the very thin woman must think twice, before adopting her neckwear, no matter bow appealing and fashionable it may be. The angular figure is much improved by styles that are hign, at the back and sides anyway, and those that have very narrow “V” sfiaped openings at the front, or others that are high all around. Of the former styles there are many good examples and one of them is shown in the picture above. This collar consists of a double band of organdie, having a more or less high turnover collar about the BPCIr and a pretty graduated ruffle at

each side. The ruffle is edged with narrow cluny lace, and tiny pearl Duttons are added to the band at one side by way of further decoration. This collar fills out the slender neck and at the same time sets close to it. The ruffles also improve a fiat chest and add the charm of daintiness and freshness which it is the part of organdie and lace to play. . Many new collars have been designed for the holidays and among them everyone may expect to find a collar adapted to her own style.
