FASHION HINTS.

French designers are fastening little bows, formal or soft, to many of their smartest frocks of wool and silk, and all of the new day-time dresses aro shown with collars. Some are made of the same material as the gown, or of a part of it, and others aro of the thin white goods. All of these are intended to soften the hard and very trying untrimmed line of the gown itself against the skin to which we have been for several years accustomed. The innovation is a most grateful one, and the fancies in neckwear aro being expressed in innumerable charming ways. The last word in chic is a stiff linen collar that stands rather wide from the neck. All around the band are cut slits at intervals, through which is drawn a silk cravat or soft tie that forms a bow in front. In an ultra smart tunic frock made by a famous Paris couturiere the tunic is done in black satin over a slip of scarlet crepe meteor. This is cut high in the neck and is finished with a round, flat collar which turns over the satin overgarment.
