COLOR LIKED IN NECKWEAR

Surplice, Shawl and Tuxedo Shapes are Favorites Although. Sailor Type Has Not Been Discarded. - V’ # A bit of color is liked in the neckwear as well as in the new’handkerchiefs. Indeed, it may be said that several of the mouchoirs can easily be matched up in color-, if not in fabric, with the new collars and cuffs. The .neckwear sometimes comes in net, fine lawn, batiste or organdie and the edging is done in colored net fine--ly plaited. Frequently there is no other ornamentation. The surplice, shawl and Tuxedo shapes are prime favorites, although they have not made the sailor type passe by any means. The latter is liked for young girls and for children and frequently it is used to impart a note of youth to frocks of silk or satin. s Because it has been found more and more difficult to get fine embroideries the prospects are very promising for a vogue of lace of the better sort. For many years lace has been less fashionable than embroidery, particularly in neckwear development. Therefore, there is more good lace to be had and some of it will now be used up for the adornment of smart dresses and blouses. This lace use has reference to varieties other than filet and venice, which have been popular for some time.
