Show EASILY MADE AT HOME. Dainties for Which Little Expenditure Is Required. No end of attractive collars, girdles, belts and bodices aro Been In tho flhops, and almost all aro extremely dainty. Theso little things cost no end of money If bought ready-made, but thoy may bo copied by tho clover woman for hnlf the cost. Of course, somo of tho llttlo collnrs, bows, Jabots, etc., are moderate In prlco, but ono noeds many of them In order to look dainty nnd fresh. Moro-over, Moro-over, tho prettiest of theso accessories aro often surprisingly expensive, tlinnks to tho real lace and handwork bestowed upon them. Tho populnrlty of wido frills around tho throat Increases steadily, though this fashion Is not gonornlly becoming. Parisians go with throats swathed high in fluffy frills and ruches, a concession con-cession to tho dlrectolro modes of tho day, nnd tho most cxcluslvo shops echo this ParUlan note by displaying much of tho frilled neckwear. For tho woman to whom It Is becoming It Is most piquant nnd charming, but length and slendcrness of thront aro absolutely abso-lutely essential to successful wearing of such neck ornaments. High closo collars of llnely tucked not or lingerie or of laco aro cut down In front and run up to exaggerated height behind tho cars and at tho back. Tho top of such a collar Is finished with n rather wldo plaited or shirred frill, which stands out around tho chin and droops moro or loss over tho collar. Sometimes a corresponding but wldor frill finishes tho bottom of tho collar as well, the plaiting falling downward over tho blouse. Somotlmos n narrow cravat la tho bottom finish, and this may bo a narrow tie of silk or line lawn or mull, embroidered on tho ends nnd tying In a dainty llttlo bow under tho chin. Tho display of accessories Intended for ornamenting of tho bodlco Is unusually largo and varied this season, and tho Ingenious woman should bo able to freshen almost al-most nny old frock not too hopoloss-ly hopoloss-ly out of dnto with tho aid of somo ono of theso girdles mndo of flowered ribbon and silk. |
