THE SNAKE SCARF AND SOME OTHERS

Necks, both during the day and evening, will be hidden this autumn, for <t is to be a season of scarves. There are scarves for dav wear made of strips of fur so soft and pliable that they can be tied into an art student’s bow at the nape of the neck. These fur scarves usually match the strip of fur which should, if one is really fashionable, decorate one’s millinery. A novel idea is the scarf hat, to which it attached a long scarf, which the wearer winds round her throat. Scarves, too, still decorate many frocks, and a novel evening neck scarf I saw worn by a mannequin at the Fashions Exhibition was composed entirely of silver tissue leaves and silver ribbon. The snake scarf, however, is the most startling of all the new neck novelties, and it was worn with the utmost unconcern by a tall dark mannquin. Wound round her throat five or six times, it looked so realistic that the onlookers exclaimed, “Is it really alive?” Fortunately, perhaps, it is not a scarf winch suits every* tvpe of woman, and the small blonde will have to be content with such novelties as scarves of iridescent beads, glass-trimmed scarves and lovelv ones of silk caught at the throat with sparkling buckles. The powder-box scarf is a dainty novelty, clipped in place with a buckle that holds a wee puff and the minimum amount of powder.
