Marie Tours Writes on the Increasing Increas-ing Importance of Neckwear. Whv Miss Smith considered the het dressed woman at this hotel? paid oi vounff lady to the other. : "I "am sure she hasn't half as many drosses as I ha," fid the daughter of a well known millionaire. -o: I have discovered the secret, said the more astute friend. "She is a girl who actually makes a science of dressing. She is not only particular ,: about the fit of her gowns, the becom- ingness of her hats, taut she pays just as much attention to little details. Did you ever see a girl that had such pretty pret-ty neckwear? Why. I had a shirt f waist on from the same tailor where she had hers made and mine looked only fairly well. But she looked positively posi-tively stunning:, because she had on one of the prettiest stocks I have seen this year. Now, 1 am KOing- to profit tav her example and I'll promise you i girls you will see a change in my ap- i I pearance." ' And they all did see a great im- i provement, and several' shopkeepers 3 i wondered why there was such a de mand for fancy neckwear from the young- ladies stopping at the "Hollywood "Holly-wood hotel. Many women. In making their pre-. pre-. parations for going away for the sum mer, will spend days at the dressmaker's, dressmak-er's, hours at the milliner's, and then go down town some morning and j spend a few minutes purchasing their ' neckwear. This is certainly a great mistake. You should stop to consider : -what kind of dresses you want; the neckwear, far and above all. whether it is going to be becoming. Don't attempt at-tempt trying colors. If you are fair, don't buy bright red; if you are dark, don't wear pink unless it is a light . shade, and if you ve sallow, green ; will make vou look more so. Women i t have no idea how they spoil the entire " ' effect of a beautiful ensemble by just a little thoughtlessness of this kind. Another point to be considered is the height of a collar. At present, it is true, low effects are becoming more i ' and more popular, but when the high collars were in vogue many women ap-peared ap-peared ridiculoils with their short necks swathed in tight fitting collars leaching almost to the ears. Although . the summer girl this year is bent upon winning as many laurels as ever, she is not going to do so at the expense of her own comfort. She has discovered discov-ered that she looks equally as charm-i charm-i ing, if not more so, when she is almost covering the waist. "This is so useful," said the owner. "Whenever my waist is the least mussed I simply pin it on and I know I am presentable." These .are just a few of the low-down low-down fancy collars that are being worn. Why. one young lady said she had over three dozen of these collars in her trunk and one was prettier than the other. "Why, it isn't an extravagance extrava-gance at that," said the wise young miss. "I have four rlaln silk shirt waists and about a dozen white ones. And one woman actually said she thought I must have about fifty, be- ' ' cause she never saw me wear the same one twice. But I had worn them several sev-eral times, of course, and I took pains to have different kinds of neck pieces every day." Now. this is the case t with nmre than one young lady of ' your acquaintance. She freshens up a waist with some fancy neckwear, and is able to make her associates believe she has a much larger variety of dresses than she actually has. ' For the girl who wants to play golf, tennis, or indulge in any kind of sports, there is nothing so appropriate as the i mannish effects. The linen collars and stocks are somewhat changed this , year. The linen collars are much low- ' . er than last summer, and the turn- ! flown effects are the favorites. With ; these ate worn dark silk ties, feeling at her ease when she is dressed so that she can hardly breathe on a hot day. With the advent of the short sleeve cp me the turndown collar. At first' s milady said: "I'll never wear those I horrible laydown collars. I'll look like J ' a fright." But after visiting the shops I I and finding out what pretty ones are being shown she changed her opinion. i The turndown stiff collar, somewhat I i : on 4he order of a sailor, is trying to I ' many women and should only be worn I by th younger set of girls. But there I are many others which are not so se- ! vere. Stil another pretty model which is! J much admired is of white lawn edged; ; ' I with lace, which falls in soft folds j I down the front exactly like those worn !' by the men. or those having hem stitched rnds. The narrow four-in-hands are quite new. Many have the - ends embroidered in some design or 1 ,' w ith the initials of the wearer. ! Among the stocks those of fancy w hite madras, cheviot and other ma- i terials of this order are the most fa vored. Some of these are embroidered ix on the ends with the emblems of golf, tennis, ping pong or with the college i I i J flags. A few pretty striped ones are1 j ' being worn, but white takes the lead. I Although the large laydown collars I are seen much at the seaside and moun- I tain resorts, many women will not ! wear this kind of neckwear in the city !, cr when they are dressed. They think ! for occasions, of this Una a high collar ; is more appropriate. Among the pretty silk stocks is one of pale blue liberty satin, with knotted j - ; ends, which are now so fashionable. The turnover is of white hemstitched lawn and can be changed when soiled, j ; j For the girl who does not care for anything so mannish as the plain stock "The Eleanor" is a good substitute. It Is made of white cheviot, embroidered in a scroll design of a contrasting color, col-or, and is attractive. White lawn ti-is are still well liked, and a host of pretty ones are to be found at the stores. There is one of fine white lawn, trimmed with fine Swiss s edging and inserting. ( For more dressy occasions more elab- ' orate ones are worn. The Du Barry is an excellent example of this. It is made of white peau de cygne and ap- c pliqued in cream lace. Jabots are coming back into favor. A pretty one was of white hemstitched , lawn and lace falling into a handker chief effect. It was worn on a black i waist and just gave the proper relief to the somberness. "I can't wear fancy neckwear," said a stout young lady to her friend, as they returned from their morning dip. This showed good sense. There is a certain class of women who can't stand any bows or jabots. But they have not betn forgotten, for they purchase a number of fancy collars. Some are made of allover lace and finished off on the top and bottom with a narrow fold of silk or satin; others are made of several rows of narrow ribbon joined together by fagoting, and the variety seems almost endless. Marie Tours, in Chicago Tribune. Tfco Stylish.- Long Coat. For traveling or shopping there -is nothing more serviceable than the long coats of taffeta, black or dark blue, mohair or pongee. The newest are elaborately ela-borately trimmed. The coat gives a woman a dressy appearance. . In the three-quarter lengths one of the styles is an English coat, either boxed or unboxed. A good model is in dark green silk, with a seam down the icK. it nangs as straight as possible. The sleeves are wide and lined with lace. The pockets are like sleeves and are set in the coat in various ways. One of the prettiest is cut diagonally with a flap and fastened with a. button. The Engagement Bangle. In London an attempt is being made to introduce the bethothal bangle , a plain, thick circlet, which is solidly riveted upon the finacee's arm, and can only be removed by being sawn asunder. asun-der. The idea is very charming, of course, to lovers in the first flush of mutual adoration. But these .are days when engagements are easily broken. Girls can wear rings on any finger, and they tell no tale; but they could not wear bangles riveted on their arms without confessing ' themselves engaged. en-gaged. Marked For Identification. Unless you are fully marked for identification iden-tification this season you are not in the fashion. The monogram fad has become be-come as violent as sunburn and freckles. The latest spot at which the initial has broken out is on the shoe. On the big tongue of the tie the monogram mono-gram is set on an oval plate. The letters let-ters are in silver, and the plate is about the size of a buckle. The cheapest form of the fad is the woven wire monogram for the shirt waist. But the initial is to be found on the purse, the sleeve of the shirt waist, the chatelaine bag, the handkerchief and the stocking. |
