For the touch that is warranted to lend a new lease of life to sum-mer-on-the-wane clothes that you are loath to give up as long as warmish days persist, regardless of what the calendar has to say about it, there is nothing that surpasses the refreshing prettiness of dashes and splashes of billowy, frilly white. That is why so many fashion-wise women have taken to collecting a "neckwear wardrobe," just as the college girl once collected sweaters. What with suits registering as fashion "firsts" on the fall style program, pro-gram, one of the most-to-be-desired items' you can put in your collection collec-tion of lacy fineries is a dainty dickey of exquisitely embroidered organdy like that pictured above to the right in the illustration. Note, particularly, particu-larly, the cunning self fabric bow tie fastening, a new note in last-word chic. A dickey of this patrician type is a choice possession that will prove to be "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." Incidentally, we might add that reports from neckwear departments de-partments say there are more calls for dickeys to wear with suits this season than ever , before. One of the clever diversions milliners are indulging in is the trimming of hats with dramatic lingerie touches, ruches and frills especially. You can see by the picture how effective the result is. The jabot of hand-crocheted lace pictured at the top left is another item that should be included in every ev-ery neckwear collection. It will prove a standby when an extra touch of allure is needed. You will be wearing it with your suit, and it will prove definitely "right" with your one-piece frocks and your blouses. As inspiring and as spirit lifting as a good repartee is the bright and piquant set of scalloped organdy organ-dy collar and cuffs illustrated below to the left in the group. A handsome hand-some set like this is a miracle worker work-er when it comes to imparting a dressy afternoon look to a simple daytime frock. To set off a pretty face and to add glory to a dark dress, the adorable ador-able collar at the lower right in the above illustration possesses a fetching fetch-ing way all its own. Spanking white and crisp and immaculate, it will add a lilt to your walk and a gay-ness gay-ness to your spirit. The handsome Venise lace that edges it helps to make the vote unanimous that it is one of the prettiest collars brought out this season. Speaking of lacy accents, here's news for fall that really is news. It's in regard to the new velveteen suits now being shown in smart autumn fashion previews. The all lace blouse of Alencon or Chantilly to wear with it is cast for an important impor-tant role. Froths of lace in pretty confusion cascade down the front of some of the blouses. They will add grace and daintiness to fall and winter suits for cocktail and on-into-the-evening affairs. Sports blouses will be good, also, and neat, trim and spic-and-span looking. Colorful wool lace blouses are also scheduled for fashion prestige. Released by Western Newspaper Union. |
