Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 9, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 May 1912 — THE NEW BERTHA. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

THE NEW BERTHA.

The latest notion in Paris is the deep lace collar, or bertha, which may be slipped on over various bodices, completely transforming them and making a dressy affair of a simple costume. The bertha pictured Is made of Strips d! crochet point leoe, put together with an entre deux of pin tucked batiste, and the bertha la finished with a border of cotton fringe. At back and front it is draped up under a bow of velvet, these bows being pinned fast to the bodice when the fichu is adjusted. The neck opening is bound with black velvet over cord.
