X JF the summer gown, requires some freshening- up touch this month, as it is likely to do. try a new bit of neckwear. : A stylish little collarette or stock, with, cuffs to match, can work wonders in rejuvenating a cos tume that is beginning to show the wear and tear of the season. : vVhito is always , a goocT choice. The newest dodcls are all carried out in this with or without, a dash of contrasting color. J The white edged with scallops of some tint is in tended for wear with colored linens and muslins never' with all white gowns. ' . The newest, stocks are in open-work effect They are usually made up of .narrow bands of lace and insertion, drawn together by fagoting or other fancy stitch. The French band stocks are of white linen, scal loped with a little color., A very pretty feature of this summer's neckwear is the chiffon scarf for throwing over the shoulders when a decollete evening or afternoon gown is worn. AfirtieulaTlydalutyeffeseentnhesOcTtrfs" was xn white chiffon with wide hemstitched ends of the printed material in Dresden design. The ends were laid in narrow pleats. The scarfs of printed liberty silk, made iti much the same way, are also very seductive. This use of printed material for scarfs and stoles in general is the most recent development of fash ions for the neck. Bound turnover collars made of bias strips of lace and insertion, and intended to close in front with a brooch, are another innovation. They will recommend themselves rather to the woman who can afford to change the style of her neckwear fre quently than to her who must think and plan. These new affairs, which are in shape somewhat Tike the stiff linen collars of former seasons, are edged all around witli narrow Valenciennes lace. The shirtwaist suit, now more than a year old, has done much for the variety of our neckwear. With the tailored shirtwaist, which was our princi pal choice before the arrival of the skirt and waist suit, stiff stocks and collars were more appropriate. The advent of the suit of silk, linen or lighter ma terial with its more elaborate trimmings, required the more feminine furnishings, which the present Beason has supplied in great variety. The woman with a certain contour of features and a limited length of neck is facing a problem in the bishop-tab effect omnipresent just now. TojnanyLofU8 the tab continuing the line of the- collar to a point beyond the neck ia at least very un becoming. To others, a hanging effect of the kind, even of short length, is absolutely disfiguring. The victim of the tab I We see her on every side. Her neck is fore-shortened and thickened in a mys terious fashion. The breadth of her round face is increased and the chin apparently absorbed. Beware of the tab! would be an excellent motto for the possessor of a certain type of features. l she must buy collars in bishop effect it should be in full view of a mirror. Stocks and turnovers without thi trying ap pendage are no easy matter to discover in the shops justnow. A few only are discoverable here and there. The shapes which have ends tying in a bow art one way out of the difficulty. Then, too a well-dressed woman is authority tot. the statement not a few of the'bishop collar can be cut off at ,the line of the neck and rendered b coming to her who must beware of the tab. Try- turning under the ends before buying yottH ' next if you have reason to be afraid of the long line. L Some of the Very Latest Novelties to be Found in the World's Shops COME of the daintiest bedroom wrappers seen ; this summer are French gowns in pale pink and palo blue silk, with fine pin stripe in white. Hand scallops buttonholed in 'the appropriate colors are much used on the imported lingerie and ' bedroom sacque or gowna. Some extremely pretty ' French corset covers are finished off with a narrow edition of this scalloped trimming. f)NE of the prettiest of this summer's bonbon i nieres represents a tiny rose bush with a sin-y . glo red blossom flourishing in i flower pot. .The ros ' and top of the flower pot can bo easily lifted away, Irevealing the sweets below, - Vi , hi tX!,EE sand buckets pyrographed or painted in i ' - . designs of flowers, etc., make delightful 1 httfe souvenirs fgr-seashort. luncheons and dinners. ; They ere, of course, filled with bonbons.

They are to be had in all widths and prac tically every shade, A NEWER version of the white swans which have ' been" popular as floweV holders for so long is noticed among the Japanese wares in our shops just now. These are small porcelain swans or ducks highly but agreeably colored. Each bird is hollow, and there is a good-sized aperture, in the back, through which the stems are passed.' . .- r .X:-;--'-V'j f ?: ' - '' ' '.

This new ar- , rival, which is about twelve inches high and is other wise rather indescribable, will save one's best hat from all injury while en route. It is a novel hat rack which is placed in the hat box and pinned to the bottom of it. The hat is then placed upon the top of the stand, and in this posi- . tion comes in contact neither with the bottom nor top of the-case. It is desirable for any sort of hat, but particularly so in the case of the thin chiffon, mull and net head wear in vogue this summer. TlOTATION'VaPin coarse patterns is the thing of the hour in lace. It comes in every width, from very narrow to rery wide. Some patterns sell ing as low as twenty and twenty-fire cents quite give the effect of real lace and look very rich, on thin gowns. .

The dressing gowns made up in this are both attractivo and cool looking. The bowknot design, with figure about three inches in diameter, makes an especially charm ing affair. )DD candlesticks for a dinner of ceremony take the form of tall Corinthian or Ionic columns of plaster. The candle, usually white ox cream color, fits in the top of the pillar. A HANDY cake pan is made with side clasps which come off, allowing the bottom to drop, out By this means the cake is easily removed and always without breaking. , SOME very' smart lamp shades are being buUt w of flowered cretonne; i The. shade is made up -of f series ef panels .of the cretonne, . -It is tieces sary to study the design of tho goods carefully be fore cutting it, in order to have the panels consectt tive; that is, to have tho floral wreath or spray con tinued from one to another. , C OFA pillows are being made ap of thin mull o batiste over a foundation of pale pink or blue, The white goods is delicately embroidered in white, cotton.
