among the latest notions. Often. they are quite easy to copy, too, and as there are no edges to be turned in and very little sewing to be done they are very soon made. We see sets of collars and cuffs made of chamois leather, the collar being of the plain, turned down, Peter Pan shape, and the enffs of the rather short gauntlet type.
The edges are "whipped" with narrow thongs of the chamois, or of a coloured leather, and two narrow strips of the same leather jare used to tie in a bow in the
front of the collar.
