High-Necked Effects in Collars

The winter girl has an ambition to plunge in neckwear, apparently, and those lyho jibe at fashion say she looks as if she might disappear entirely behind her collars. She is really up to her ears’in them. Maids on the promenade carry their heads with a regal air, thanks to the width of outdoor collars. But the new designs, both for outdoor and indoor wear, are full of style. The collar Is fashion’s pet fad just now. A fad Mings grist to the mill of those who can take advantage of it, and the makers of neckwear have fostered this oDe with all their might. The oldest observer cannot recall any such variety and originality in neckwehr as may be met with in a day now. '’ In the high round collars for the street, fujr and fur fabrics, velvet, novelty bandings and cloth are used, with braid Introduced in many of them. Flaring collars are higher than the lobes of the ears, and the bead sets in them like a flower in its calyx. It is a smart fashion to have the small hat match the collar. Some of these high collars are cut away under the chin, forming wings at each side. Narrow used for finishing them. .. : Collars for indoor wear are often -opeaed ,at the front in a long, narrow “V." They Often flare and are high at the aides and back. Organdie and laoe are need for making them and they are elaborated with en broidery. One of the new “Lily” collars la shown to the picture above, with a

straight band supporting a flaring portion. The model with turnover tabs is a type of, many varieties in this style. A new arrival 1b a straight band, of plaited organdie terminating In a hemstitched ruffle at the top and bottom.
