Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 289, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 December 1919 — Avoid the Powdered Coat Collar. [ARTICLE]

Avoid the Powdered Coat Collar.

Girls will powder their necks. Why shouldn’t they if it increases their charm? But why should they also powder the Inside of their coat collar? Of course, they don’t mean to, but if you will take a look inside a lovely new coat, you will find nine times out of ten, that already it is the worse for powder-wear. Of lace about three inches wide make a dainty protection for your coat collar. A straight piece about three-quarters of a yard long will do very nicely. Ecru filet would do handsomely. Simply finish the ends of it with a blanket-stitch in the color of the coat lining. Tack it on the inside of the coat collar at the middle of the back. It will save your coat lining, will look well inside your coat and, incidentally, it is very much more dainty. ; J
