Net Ruffs Are Popular.

The big neck ruffles which sometimes bear the name of “Toby” and sometimes “Pierrot” are rapidly becoming popular. These big frills can be bought ready-made, but any clever girl could make one at home in the space of half an hour. It is best to choose a fairly stiff tulle, as silk tulleillusion very easily gets limp. Double box plaits look best, and it is an excellent idea to pass a length of black velvet «■ satin ribbon through the middle of these plaits leaving the ends loose so that the ruffle may be fastened, with a large bow, in front or at the side.
