Christmas Suggestion in Neckwear
Every woman wants to bo stylishly
dreBsod, and every woman r re
lined taste loves the small luxuries of
apparel which belong to womankind
alone. And the knack of using the lit
tle accessories of dress that nro
brought out for each season Is the
stamp of good Judgment. They aro
the things that seize tho httention and
please tho eyo and provide that va
riety which Is tho splco of liro, from
day to day.
Tho clothing of tho nock has come

Bon. For wear In tho house, collars of
organdie, lace, not and other of tho
sheerest materials nro used together
with pretty ornaments of ribbon.
Fancy ribbon bands, bordered with tur
on each edge and slmilur bands of
chenille, In two colors, aro tho very
latest arrivals. They aro made with
culTs or wristlets to match, and aro tin
i8hcd off with small sprays of mil
linery llowers.
Tho voguo of wristlets, like that of
mulilers, Is a rovlval of an old fashion,
but both havo been modernized. A
comparison of tho old and tho new
shows tho present tendency toward
dainty llnishing and decoration and a
taste for the luxurious.

most acceptable of holiday gifts, and

Concerning the
'mm iiii'ii
Tho black velvet hat is a becoming
piece of headwear, and Its deep bril
liance sets off tho coloring of tho
blonde or tho brunette, or any com
plexion between, with almost equal
effectiveness. Hut it becomes monot
onous when nlnety-nlno out of overy
hundred women wear It to tho exclu
sion of all colors. Tho black hat is
too popular with thoso who buy only
one or two hats a season. An assem
blage of women Is mado somber and
commonplaco by tho overshadowing
bkickness of their ljeadwear.
It is much easier to couplo with the
uurrent mode a touch of tho unusual
and to find expression for Individual
tnsto In millinery that employs color
than in that which excludes It. The
fashionable colors In dress and mill!
nory fabrics aro rich and sedate, so
that tho woman of outet taste has tho
best of opportunitleu for expressing
it without falling Lack upon black.
But every wardrobe should include
ono black hat, and this hat may bo
made to do duty for several seasons.
With this In view. the shape chosen
should bo a form of the snllor. or some
other that appears among each year's
offerings. With tho coming of u now
seanon tho manner of trimming these
staplo shapes may be changed, and
tho black hat held In rosorvo for oc
casions where n colored ono seems not
appropriate.

siderable saving, especially If sho uses
needlework In decorating them. It Is
tho time involved in these, as In rib
bon neckwear, quite- as much as tho
material, which llgures In tho price.
Tho materials aro at hand everywhere.
Blouse for Mother.
A stunning blouse for an elderly
woman (if there Is any such thing')
is of gray chiffon and black lace with
a banding of skunk around the neck
and down each sldo of the front of
the bust line. Tho sleeves, which
have n cap top of lace and full under
sleeves of tho chiffon, aro cuffed In
the fur. Tho lace Is set In the back
to form n point from the shoulders
to tho waist line and In front extends
from the shoulders straight down each
side of the fur bauds.
Velvet Basques Revived.
The velvet basque Is a rovlval of
tho eighties, which bids Talr to have a
great favor in winter costumes. From
Paris comes a charming basque, faced
with nattier blue around the turnover
collar and revcrs and belted at tho
waist lino to stand out below In a crisp
frill, also faced with blue. Tho sleeves
aro very long and tho skirt, of black
velvet, has a tunic of black chiffon,
bordered with black woven moire
stripes.

the cobwebby laces shining with Inter
woven metal threads that form bod
