HERE must be some point of decoration between the collar of your frock or suit and the hat that forms the tip-top motif of your costume. Otherwise the two Stand out as separate entities which is all entirely against the laws of harmony in dress. This neckpiece arrangement is worthy of a good deal of time and thought, for it is a part of that framing for your face without which you cannot hope that your spring togs will be much of a Don’t do the thing too obviously. Don’t make it too staringly colorful—but Do see that there is some becoming tint about the scarf or fur or veil. i Whether your suit is a sport suit _@F a decidedly dressy one, whether you are dressing in @ street dress or @ silk dress, whether you are wear- ‘img a topcoat or going without one, the neckline is still that centre of in- terest, the decoration of which draws your hat and your cestume into gen- eral harmony. Unless you handle this ine characteristically and well, you ate spoiling the best effect of your new clothes. This would never, never do. So give your various necklines the survey of a connoisseur, and tell your- self honestly whether you can find a smal] chance of improvement, If you do see any improvement that could be made, then make it by all means. Make a sacrifice of other costume ac- cessories if necessary, but see that your face has the setting it deserves. A Veil Graduates Into Sleeves There is something new under the sun where veils are concerned and that thing is shown in the picture of the ‘girl wi the soft white fold of Organdies for Summer Parties RGANDY dresses. grow con- stantly in favor, They grow, feo, astonishingly in beauty, And, if you want something to make the bright, gorgeous colors in ‘There are two illustrated here, just ‘fecently landed from P@tis, - They are Do have the neck arrangement soft and flatteringly folded. vell wrapped around her shoulders, She has chosen all this becoming chif- fon to do the work of harmonizing her headgear with her frock and, at the same time, she has managed to give hérself ail sorts of protection that a veil or any number of veils for that matter, could be expected to offer, This veil, -not being content with covering the shoulders and face, then trails down the arms and forms itself into sleeves, which, as you can see, are gathered into ruffied cuffs. The advantage of this simple little trick is quite obvious and one wonders why it has never been thought of before. The veil, then, instead of flying loose in the breeze and finding its ends entangled in any passing obstruction, is held quite snugly in place while, at the same time, not any of its care- less ease and gracefulness is sacri- ficed in the least degree. It ts a clever veil to wear for motoring or for walking on the wild, ‘windy, spring days, for it keeps itself in place with- out having to be nursed and coddled along. The Decorated Sport: Scarf This spring so many scarfs have both new and they are both so simple that you, with the clever fingers, can copy them without the slightest diffi- culty, One is just plain with three rows of little rufflings down the sides. These tiny flounces are pleated and picoted, all of which is done by machine and then they are arranged in those inter- esting longish panels which constitute the dress's only decoration, ‘The other one is mado with the Handmade folds worked jjnto the } f THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922. taken the place of furs, And there {s Something so fresh and amusing about the way they are made—somc- thing so interesting about their color and embroideries that they are really irresistible. And many girls are de- elding to forego the tested becoming- ness of the fluffy furs for the more experimental sport scarf. The one in the photograph on this page has proved, by reason of its large sale, that it ta particularly ap- pealing. It is done with a background of that richly colorful silk duvetyne which has intrigted us for suits all through the winter. Of course, it is too warm and thick looking for suits now, but strips of it wound round the throat for scarfs of various patterns and styles are eminently satisfactory. This one is embroidered with an ap- pliqued design of flat flowers in many colors. They are sewed on with long black stitches which do their’ little part in carrying out the design. Then there are the loosely woven handmade scarfs and these, too, are done in every color in the rainbow. There are scarfs of tweed, scarfs of knitted silk, scarfs of blocked ratine. In fact, if you are original, you can concoct a scarf out of almost any- thing—even out of your grand- mother’s paisley shaw! if you happen to have one of those rare treasures about the house, Tam Still Good for Sports. The tam to match the scarf in the picture is only an illustration of the sort of cap which is most popular for sports wear. This is a little hat that never seems to go out of style. It In one of those universal fashions for which we have to thank a beneficent providence. If your face is one that achieves one of its best expressions under a tam, then by all means see that somewhere in your collection of hats you have one of them tucked away, for there are occasions when nothing else looks quite so well. Have it to simplest pattern that has yet been seen. They are merely given a twist and then fastened to the edges of the frock as can be plainly seen in the photograph. This is the popular handmade look reduced to its very most simple form and, again, it is something that no one need hesitate to attempt for the result cannot help but be charming. Color in organdies is growing stead- ily more fascinating. There is no other material made for summer or match your scarf, if you can, for you will love the harmony of the effect and the two will do something nice for your general spirits which you can never hope to have more formal attire accomplish for you, Hats, Too, Have Handwork.

HE setting apart of a week for the special featuring of some particular line of merchandise is becoming quite a factor in store management, The advantage to shop- pers is that at such times these respective stocks are more complete than at any other time and valuable mode suggestions may be obtained from the extensive displays. The coming week has been designated as ‘Lace and Embroidery Week," and the counters where these goods are sold will be replete with new offerings und there probably will be some real bargains to stimulate trade, For the summer sports costume the ratine and macreme laces are favored. Bandings and edges can be had in black and ecru, also in the fashionable colors. Filet and Margot flouncings are also much in evidence, In the embroidery sections there is a bewildering display of beautiful all- overs, edgings and bandings in or- gandy, voiles, batiste, nainsook, etc., combining either striking effects or soft pastel colorings. There are sug- gestions here for panels, gilets, col- lars and cuffs, bandings, guimpes and all the pretty accessories so essential to the completion of the perfect cos- tume. Charming little yokes and dress lengths for the wee ones are among the displays, The Government no longer officially sponsors ‘‘Baby Week" but the first week fn May has been associated so many years with bhby's needs that it has become a sort of regular insti- tution in the shops, so it is but nat- ural that this week should be devoted to displays along this line and many shops are preparing to feature in- fants’ and children's wear, toys and all the accessories so essential to the welfare and pleasures of the child. The bootees to be worn with the short dresses are really an important item to most mothers, The array of footwear for infants is quite as varied as that for grownups. In fabrics there are“kid, pique, silk, poplin and the latest arrivals are in crepe de chine. Neither do baby’s shoes con- form to the regulation moccasin style, but come in cute blucher cut or the oxford style, The little **Romeos” are well termed “‘darling.’’ These are of crepe de chine with the sides filled in with shirred georgette. Then there are “dear” little strap slippers and, of course, all baby's shoes are daintily embroidered. They come in white, blue or pink and make a decidedly attractive display.
