PROPER TOUCH OF COLOR

Bandanna Handkerchief Is Made to Do Duty in Connection With the Attire of Sportswoman. Bandanna handkerchiefs fill an adequate place in the sportswoman’s attire, a long end protruding from a voluminous skirt pocket, and adding Just the right touch of color on the golf links or tennis court. Not content with this use, women find that men’s handkerchiefs of this pattern, as well as the all-over Dresden designs, make effective additions to their costumes, when knotted, in true cowboy style, around their necks. Many of these useful articles help the process of collar making. One high stock collar of lace and embroidered linen tabs has the further addition of a jabot front and back. Each one is made from the half of a man’s linen handkerchief, the fullness laid in plaits, each of which is embroidered with a row of dots. A spray finishes each end. Men’s* handkerchiefs make splendid foundations for the sailor collar so much in vogue. One seen with a lavender* border has the white portion embroidered in purple dots.
