The most fashionable are made of crepe lisse, with an embroidered edge and in every color imaginable, from brilliant scarlet to pale Nile green, and from jot black to clear white. Some very unique effects are produced by contrast of color. The black handkerchief is usually a square of silk muslin, with a full frill of fine black laoe about it. Any girl can easily make one of these for herself. For every day use the white handkerchief of lawn, with a narrow hemstitched border a very narrow one and a fine frill of lace Valenciennes not half ah inch wide about it is preferred. Elaborate mono agrams are no longer fancied, but instead ,4 he initials of the owner in small letters and in what is known as rnnning fashion fash-ion are chosen.
