HIGH COLLAR BOON TO MANY

Readily Accepted by Woman With Neck So Long That It Makes Her Lack Style. The girl or woman with the neck so long that It seems to separate her head from her body too much and makes her lack style and a smart ensemble can do no better than to thankfully turn to the new high-necked blouses, dresses and coats. There are plenty of new anp fashionable models already worn by well-garbed women. In a beige jersey dress there is a high-stock beige collar which encircles the neck and buttons In two straps one side of the collar in front. The blouse part of this dress is slashed out in a long, narrojv U-shaped piece, showing the white lawn guimpe, to which is attached winged points that fall over the beige stock. In an older woman’s one-piece dress the dress top Is cut to cross surplice without draping. Above the pointed neck opening shows a chemisette of white pique with an attached standing collar at the sides and back. This collar folds over at the top about an Inch.. The skirt attached to the top falls in alternate box and side plaits. It Is one of those new coat dresses which have the half-loose easy fit. of a long coat. A dull leather belt pulls It in, not to define' the waist, but as in a coat, at almost hip length. Such a coat Is much more becoming to a matron, because of the easy way corsets are cut In these days to give comfort to the body.
