COLLARS.
Collars will not be overlooked this eeason, aud will be worn both with blouses, bodices, and the inevitable bolero.
For serge, cloth, and woollen textures, a collar of fine cream-coloured cloth is delightful, and this outlined with trimming, or overlaid with a broad applique" edge of yellow lace, or with an applique floral design in embroidered grass lawn. Collars in this style are uncommon, and have an expensive appearance, and are easily cleaned when soiled. Biscuit-coloured satin, edged jet, is also pleasing } or satin overlaid with string-coloured lace or guipure; while white or cream satin, overlaid with open-patterned jet, or with a bold black lace or guipure, is most effective on black or white bodices.
The back of this collar forms two square tabs, and the neckband can simply be in folds, or made with tiny tabs falling out at the sides, or with the stiff shaped collar as in the design. This same type of collar can be made with long, narrow pieces reaching to the waist, instead of the rever.s, or with long stole ends to go under the bolt, and the epaulet portions shorter, and divided into two tabs. A smart collar makes the most ordinary bodice or blouse both dres9y and 1.1 coming.
