For backs, however, the perfectly plain French back fashionoble last summer will obtain to a certain extent, while a back with a cluster of tucks on either side, m either parallel or forming the fan Jjl shape mentioned before, will have ti wide vogue, too, being newer. A French back, with live narrow a< box plaits down the the centre, will be very smart. 1,1 A new collar named the Dewey is to the fore as the latest, but the ti advance of the season remains to is prove whether this novelty, with its warm, high side points, will u supersede' the becoming round y< cornered turned over of b?st year.
