NEW NECKWEAR
New Idea In Trimming la Sure to Find
Favor—Fringe of Hair for the
High Forehead a Pa-
risian Idea.
When you are not looking for It you
are apt to see something new. 80 It
watt the other day at the tea hour,
writes Anne Klttenhouse In the Wash-
ington Star. I cannot see why anyone
should be surprised at meeting new
or startling things In clothes at the
tea hour, In Paris, especially near the
Rue de la Pal*, which, of all short
streets In the world, Is the most
crowded with smart clothes In and out
of the Bhops.
With us. In America, the women
take the morning for their shopping
as a rule, but over here they take the
afternoon. ThlB fashion makes for a
smart display of afternoon gowns that
are elaborate enough for the theater
at night.
The hat I Baw was worn by a charm-
ing little ballerina from the opera
whom one sees at the smart restau-
rants and for whom the dressmakers
design the newest hats and gowns. It
was a turban without eccentricity of
line, and that. In Itself. Is a Btartllng
fact this season. One welcomed the
simplicity of line In this hat for that
reason.
The novelty was in the trimming,
which consisted entirely of natural
colored cock's plumage arranged in a
straight band around the hat. The
red, yellow, black and bright brown
plumage was deftly mingled and
formed a close circle of waving fronds
In the air. Not a strand of hair
showed except two acoroches coeur at
the eara.
ThiB method of arranging the hair Is
■till in its Infancy and still unbecom-
ing to those whoso faces are not
FAMOUS DOLL'S HOUSE
In the upper part of this group 1b
pictured a new stock in chemisette
effect. The "shirt bosom" and collar
are made of white linen, the latter in-
set with rose-colored batiste, em-
broidered In rose and green, the clos-
ing of the chemisette—effected by
means of crystal buttons with button
holes done in rose—is edged with a
narrow plaiting of white batiste. The
right edge of the chemisette is fin-
ished with a plaiting of rose batiste,
the left with a plaited frill of the
same, lace edged. Tie of black moire.
In another Bketch lace and white
maline have been combined effectively
with black maline which forms the
stock and ties at the back in a fluffy
bow.

marked by youth and freshness. How-
ever. there is a strong feeling that, a
way will be found out of the dilemma
that now faces women to whom the
new coiffure Is a trial and a sorrow.
The straight bang across the center
of the forehead Is also back In favor
and it provides a little encouragement
to those whose browB need a covering.
The aketch shows a turban which Is
intended to bo worn with such a
fringe, it is made of black horsehair
with the top of the crown covered with
white roses and a few green leaves.
These are fastened on a plateau of
varnished straw, the klvd that has
made friends with the world of fash-
Ion.
Whether It will last we do not know,
and unless a woman has paid an extra
price for her hat she 1b not much con-
cerned She reallieB that wind und
sun destroy the value of any straw hat
before changing fashion has made
much impression on it.
That queerly shaped hat introduced
by Suzanne Talbot as a fantasy has
many admirers, but few followers. It
Bhould prove admirable for the land of
hot suns because of Its lightness, Its
cool color and Its shading brim that
protects the face, the neck and the

Smoking Suits.
Smoking suits are now no novelty
In New York, and for this spring one
department store has shown a model
of canary brocado whoso trousers,
very full at the waist, aro trimmed
about the ankles with lace and a touch
of rhlneetone. The jacket, which ex-
tends to the hips, is finished wltt a
straight belt of lace and the laco Is
ftpeated on tho shoulder* and aluevsa.
If once you form the habit of using
the liquid soap on your skin you will
wonder why you did not do so long
ago. and you will hardly care to use
cake soap.
Soap Jelly is best. Blnce it does not
clog the pores, and is much quicker
and more Burely rinsed from the skin.
Try the following, and Bee If you
do not approve It: Take a cake of
your favorite soap, weighing about
four ounces, Bhavo It fine, then pour
three quartB of boiling water over it
and allow It to stand where it will re-
main gently warm on the back of a
range or over a radiator until all the
soap 1b dissolved. Then remove from
heat, and when cold pour it Into a
large kettle; if the soap is unscented,
a teaspoonful of any essential oil, such
aa oil of rose geranium, bergamot, lav-
ender or rosemary, may be added to
the entire amount.
Now from the larger bottle fill a con-
venient sized one to leave ou the wash-
stand; there will be no mussy or
sloppy soup or soap dishes standing
about.
Women who are fastidious and who
take good care of their skin seldom
If ever use hard soap; their favorite
soap is purchased by the box and dis-
solved into soap Jelly.
Yellow Now the Vogue.
For a long time yellow was hardly
counted In with pale pink and pale
bluo as an appropriate color for all
occasions—for use on lingerie and
negligee, for the touch of pale color on
the lace or chiffon blouBe and for the
light-colored blouse Itself. Now yel-
low Is In all Its glory. For not only
are yellow ribbons UBed to lace up
all sorta of lingerie and yellow rosea
and ribbons used on ncgllgccB, but tiny
yellow muslin borders appear on
handkerchiefs and yellow blousea of
chifTon and crepe de chine and linen
are much worn. There are many new
and interesting names for the various
popular shades of yellow. Probably
maize is the best of the light shades
for general wear. Along with the In-
creased use of yellow comes the Int
creased UBe of yellow roses for cor-
sage flowers and trimmed for evening
frocka.
UTRECHT HA8 ABODE THATJ 18
IN A MEA8URE UNIQUE.
In the Queen Anne Sty la, It le De-
clared to Be a Complete Model of
Ita Time, to the Smalleat
Detail.
Of all the treasures Utrecht pos
Besses first and foremost is ita world-
famous doll's house. It is the purest
Cjueen Anne abode, complete down to
the tiniest detail. Ordinary houses
can never give the entire idea of her
period as this little one can. For,
naturally, in the process of time the
arrangement of everything alters; the
structure Is rebuilt, furniture and
hangings wear out and are discarded
and later styles aro introduced.
Whereas our doll's house, made not
later than the end of the 17th cen-
tury, has remained behind closed glass
doors, lovingly cherished by Dutch
housewives, the most careful and con-
servative of their kind, and it shows
us Just how the Dutchman of those
days lived, and very much how the
Englishman of a rather late date ar-
ranged his home.
And now to come to the doll's house
and Its history.
It has evidently always been conald-
ered a masterpiece, for so long ago as
1738 we find literature on the subject.
The chronicler says that It owes Its
existence to a noble lady of Amster-
dam, but does not give her name. Not
only did she lavish years and the ut-
most loving care upon her hobby, but
It cost her a small fortune besides, cer-
tainly over $5,000. It was probably
begun toward 167B and finished about
1690.
We know that In the early days of
the 18th century it belonged to a rich
Amsterdam tobacco merchant, from
whom It passed to hla daughter, who
married a man with the romantic
name of Slob. Mrs. Slob bequeathed
it to her daughter, who also left It to
a daughter. This lady died at a very
great age In Utrecht, leaving the doll's
house as a legacy to the city.
Not only this, but It had also gona
through a crisis that few doll houses
can boast of. It had actually been
burgled. One dark night In 1831, when
It was temporarily located In a coun-
try village, thieves broke through and
stole not only the gilt chandelier, the
pride of the drawing-room, but also
tho silvered flrelrons, a tortolae shell
inlaid cabinet, a chest of amber, inlaid
with gold and ivory, and the plate-
chest full of baby spoons and forks.
Luckily the house was so amply pro-
vided that the furniture was not
missed, but the owner, distressed that
the dolls should be driven to eat with
their fingers, at once ordered a simi-
lar set to be made as quickly as possi-
ble.

Labeled the Children.
The crowded water front of the old
Canton of a century ago, with Its
thronging sampans alive from stem
to stern with Bwarming children, ia
vividly pictured in the "Memoirs of
William Hlckey." In his account of
tho Innumerable boats that covered
the river for mile after mile. Mr.
Hlckey describes a novel method of
protecting the children of the floating
city from the dangers of the water.
Each child wore a large vegetable
something liko a gourd or pumpkin
fastened to its back. The vegetable
was buoya' t, of course, and, if the
Infant fell overboard, floated It until
the child was picked up by Its par-
ents or the occupar.ta of any other
Bam pan that happened to be near. Thla
vegetable life-preserver had the name
and station of the sampan to which it
belonged cut In Chinese characters
upon it, and by that means the rescu
ers could at once Identify the child;
otherwise, In Buch a multitude of boats
great confusion would have arlson. It
scarcely ever happened that anyone
was drowned.

"PENNANT" Harvester OU
Lightens Work—Saves Repairs
This oil is especially prepared to meet the particular require-
ments of this class of machinery. It is a heavy bodied oil, rich
in lubricating properties. Takes up the "play" in loose bearings
and acts as a cushion. Very effective where the machine is old
and worn. It reduces friction to a minimum. Clings where
put and maintains its efficiency under the hardest working
conditions. Does not "gum." Isn't affected by moisture.
At the height of the harvesting season, you can ill afford stops and delays
due to improper lubrication. This you will be fully safeguarded against
if you use "PENNANT" Harvester Oil, so keep it in mind and ask your
dealer for it If he hasn't it, request him to get some or drop us a line

Puts Airships In Prayers.
Under the orders of Emperor Will-
iam, as the head qf the Lutheran
church, and with the consent of the
Lutheran synod, the general prayer,
which Is said weekly In all Lutheran
churches, now asks the protection of
Qod for the aerial service as well as

"Protect the king's army and the
entire German war forces on land and
sea. and particularly the ships and air-
