ABOUT COLLARS.
Many a curve and point is described in the outline of these collars, the points reaching perhaps as far as the waist in the latter case, and other deep points extending down over tho sleeves, narrow frillings generally of the material edging them all around, especially if made of linen, when they are slightly stiffened with starch. to keep them well set. Collars with Vandyke points and in squares and curves'have'bprtferihgi.of broad frillings of lace, and lace i ; eal or in most* deceiving imitations of it, is the most seductive raison d'etre for them. But clear muslins with insertions of lace crossing and recrossing them, and flounce borderings are scarcely less attractive. Very sumptuous are the collars in pale-coloured satin or silk, embroidered in gold and silver, surrounded by plain lace edged flounces. With these collars the sleeves are adorned with deep cavalier cuffs and lace frilling. The short straight collars and cuffs generally go together, but the cuffs are also, though not so invariably, worn with the deep collars. .
