OLD IDEAS COME BACK
NECKWEAR POPULAR SEASONS
AGO IS TO BE FASHION AGAIN
Advance Fall Styles Indicate a Return
o the Close-Fitting Turnover
8tock Collar Which Found
Favor In the Past
Good-by to the rolling flare collar vi
have reveled In all the season Good-
by to the wired Medici collar and Its
fascinating varieties
Coming events have cast their shad-
ows before In the shape of Important
models which are destined to rule the
fall styles In neckwear
All of these foretell with strong em-
phasis the return to the high-neck
close-fitting turnover stock collar of
two or three years ago Severely plain
fancy frilled sometimes open In the
front but never anything but high and
snug-fitting in the back
One model is a plain uncompromis-
ing stock carried out In soft handker-
chief linen It is three Inches high In
the neck and buttons down th front
with four tiny round linen buttons
A turnover of embroidered lluen fit-
ting closely at the sides and forming
long points in front and back gives
an air of distinction to tlJis model
which is very suitable for wear with a
tailored morning gown or waist
A knotted tie of narrow black or
colored ribbon can be worn with It to
harmonize with the dress or to form
a smart note of contrast
Another model which Is pictured Is
also a high tight-fitting stock but the
severity of its style is considerably
tempered by the hemstitched frill
which edges the deep turnover This
collar is made of fine sheer lawn and
has a very 60ft and dainty effect
Yet another model caters to the de-
sire of many of us who have become
so attached to the opeh neck with
little or no collar touching the skin
that we shall take only slowly to a
completely high-necked style This
collar too is more suitable for an aft-
ernoon gown and the particular model
noted is of fine linen elaborately em-
broidered and edged with lace
High and fitted snug to the heck as
the back this model turns over on the
dress in front leaving a V-shaped
opening
In all the stores the wide flare col-
lars are on Bale at a discount very
much reduced and only in the more
MOST SUITABLE FOR YOUTH

USEFUL ON DESK OR TABLE
Roller Blotter Makes Most Acceptabls
Present When Appropriately
Decorated
A roller blotter or rocker as they
are sometimes called Is a most use-
ful article to have upon one’s desk
or writing table it is always then to
hand and a letter or any writing Is
quickly blotted The great advantage
of this kind of blotter is that pieces
of the blotting paper cannot be so
easily torn off as so often happens
with the blotting pad and as-it can-
not be used to write upon as a blot-
ter can it is left alone on the desk
and eo always at hand
Roller blotters can be bought'qulte
cheaply made of white wood They
then require decorating This is done
in various ways
The use of the blotter will decld
its style of decoration For Instance
if it is to be used In a dainty draw-ing
room It might be covered with some
pretty silk brocade or with linen
which has had a design embroidered
on If however it has to stand hard
wear and tear day after day It Is
well to simply stain It any nice shade
or poker some suitable design on It
The handle will screw off so that the
flat piece of wood can be worked
on the flat without the roller part
It can from time to time be refilled
with blotting paper by simply un-
screwing the handle
Trace on the wood some little sim-
ple design outline It with the poker
point and poker In the background
and the edges of the wood by means
of little dots Put tlltem close togeth-
er so that no white wood shows In
between The wood can then be
brushed over with white hard spirit
varnish this gives the wood a beauti-
ful polish and makes it smooth to the
touch
Roller blotters prove most accept-
able presents especially for men
New Millinery
The wide-brimmed soft-crowned
canotier Is emphatically the hat of the
moment In white crepe taffetas aero-
plane or fine straw very simply
trimmed A delightful model has a row
of big milk beads round the base of
the crown and twf white heron's
plumes In front adjusted vertically
toward the left All white canotlers
are much the smartest and other
hats whether large or small are all
black black with white plumes flow-
ers or grapes with white foliage or
black with gold lace crowns or a
large rose or cluster of grapes fash-
ioned of gold tissue Plumes and “fan-
tasies" are now arranged with a wide
instead of high effect

STYLE IN UNDERDRESS
PETTICOAT 18 AGAIN TO
GIVEN CONSIDERATION
BE
Popularity of ths Dance Responsible
for Return of Garment Once Con-
sidered Indispensable— Chiffon
" - Favored as Material
By MART DEAN
Though petticoats have In recent
seasons shrunk almost and sometimes
quite to the vanishing point they are
again In favor and are one of the most
important Items in the wardrobe of the
modish woman
The popularity of the new dances
has brought about the change The
slit skirt which is necessary to give
freedom of movement when dancing
calls for a petticoat which must be
equally as attrac-
tive as the gown
with which it Is
worn and some-
times Indeed It
is even more so
The petticoat
that is to be worn
with dance frocks
la likely to have
a foundation of
some soft silken
material This
foundation fits like
a glove but widens
toward the bot-
tom to admit of
White Chiffon freedom of move-
ment when dancing unless the silken
material gives way altogether to an
accordion flounce of net over chiffon
of chiffon or of lace
When the foundation Is continued to
the skirt bottom- a diaphanous flounce
Is often set on over this soft narrow
foundation but the flounce without the
plain under section affords more free-
dom -
When there Is no flounce at all not
even of the scantiest and most sub-
dued sort the skirt is slit at the sides
or back and Inset with accordion-
pleated chiffon or shadow lace and
shows flatly applied trimming panels
outlined by lifset lace or piping and
adorned by Inset motifs and tiny
flounces
A smart little model of this last
class was cut up the sides for com-
fort's sake and trimmed about the
edges with a narrow net frill follow-
ing the curved corners and around the
skirt bottom About twelve Inches
above a line of the plaited net ran
straight around the skirt At the sides
there were inset accordion plaiting of
the net These were inset with motifs
of lace outlined by tiny flounces and
the narrowest of net frill
There are 'many variations upon
flounce trimming and some very
charming evening petticoats have nar-
row flounces set at intervals with in-
sertion and shirrlngs For instance
one petticoat had a foundation of
white crepe de chine attached to this
foundation were three flounces of
shadow lace flared at intervals head-
ed by two-inch panel insertions of
shadow lace
There were two band shirrlngs of
chiffon and the frills of lace were also
headed by a line of small roses
Another charming petticoat had a
flounce made up of serpentine Inser-
tion Lace motifs and inset shirrlngs
Mil
tiny flowers run-
ning around the
skirt flounce In
zigzag shape A Chiffon and Lace
narrow lace frill trimmed the bottom
of the skirt
Early In the season many of the
shops which made a specialty of fine
lingerie showed petticoats of chiffon
which bad a little more fullness than
usual at the top and were shirred on
to a rubber waist band The skirts
opened down the front with small
steel clasps close to the bottom The
fullness of the skirt was held in by a
rubber band which encircled the skirt
about six Inches from the bottom
These shops also showed the danc-
ing garters made of deep flounces of
plaited chiffon or fine shadow lace
shirred on to an elastic band The
elastic band was placed just below the
knee
Lees Darning Needed
To do away with some of the darn-
ing rub the heels of new stockings
with paraffin Put the stocking over
tbe darning egg and warm the paraffin
enough to make It soft in the hand
Then rub well It will be found that
this protects the heel against rubbing
and that it will not wear ouL
STYLE THAT IS - INDIVIDUAL
Distinctive Taste in Dress Marks Those
Who Are Undeniably
“of the Elect"
There are many women who slavish-
ly follow the dictates of fashion but
even among them individuality will
creep out Three sisters may dress
alike as far as the make and materials
of their clothes are concerned but
there will be ere long a decided differ-
ence in the aspect of the three Very
certainly each nation of Europe can be
detected by the manner In which the
women put on their garments and se-
lect them Parisians own that present
fashions are an expression of the fem-
inist movement of today A prevail-
ing style seen on moBt of the manne-
quins Is a draped overskirt and a very
narrow underskirt indeed a short
coatee and 'a sash about the hips
Dark blue is more in favor than almost
any other color but it Is relieved by
trimmings of colored stripes or checks
Tulle is the prevailing fabric for danc-
ing frocks and nothing Is more appro-
priate or prettier for young people
Sometimes it Is garlanded with an em-
broidery of naturally colored tiny roses
and leaves A useful addition to the
wardrobe Is the new shaped jacket
which is far more like a sack follow-
ing the lines of the figure without con-
fining It in any way and is mostly
made to slip on with almost any dress
and not part and parcel of one It re-
quires to be carefully worn and like
most of the modes of the day la suited
to slender figures Hip sashes get low-
er and lower and are an Important
feature In the modes Though we have
not got back to the long waist these
sashes are helping to prevent us miss-
ing them Sometimes the hip sashes
are replaced by rows of narrow ribbon
or cord brought down over the hips
the cord holding any fullness down
The Gladstone Collar
The very latest thing in rolling col-
lars Is shown here Thfa is called the
Gladstone and is of course of white
linen With it is worn a soft knotted
tie of silk in any desired shade
VOGUE OF THE BEADED SASH
Arranged as Fancy Dictates Orna-
ment Is One of the Distinctive
Parts of Costume
Following out the Indian note that
every now and then creeps Into our
symphony of fashion features comes
the beaded sash The beads used are
usually of bright-colored wood ar-
ranged in various' and weird patterns
Sometimes the wooden beads are made
to combine with silk thread and so
forrh a fringe while at other times
they are fastened Into a symmetrical
design by a needle and silk thread
These sashes sell for rather high
prices at the shops but an examination
of one or two of them will reveal to
you the secret whereby you can pro-
cure the beads at the bead counter in
the faneywork department and make
your own beaded sash The average
beaded sash is not more than from
three to five Inches wide but It le suf-
ficiently long to wrap about your waist
twice and fall In two banging ends
Compact Face Cloths
Small disks of cotton compressed
Into pill box size expand when they
are dropped Info water to the size of
ordinary face cloth These are sold ten
of them In a little Morocco case for
three dollars and they find favor with
tbe woman who la traveling rapidly —
so rapidly that tbe face cloth bae no
time to dry before it must again be
packed into Its receptacle for further
journeying

“I have declared a moratorium'' said
Mr Harduppe to the collector at the
door
“But when are you going to pay thi3
bill?” asked the collector whose vo-
cabulary di not include so long a

“Why a moratorium means that the
payment df debts Is indefinitely post-
poned” “Oh” said the collector “I thought
you meant something serious- I’ll call
around again tomorrow as usual”
Innocent But —
A bad case of highway robbery
tried several years ago before Chief
Baron Green on the last day of the
Ennis Assizes resulted in an acquit-
tal The chief Baron addressing the
sheriff said:
“Mr Sheriff is there any other in-
dictment against this innocent man?”
“No my lord” was the reply
“Then you’ll greatly oblige me if
you don’t let him out until I have half
an hour’s start of him on my way to
Limerick”
LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Class
When a simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story’ 1
briefly told A lady of Springfield 111
says
“After being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble I re-
ceived a shock four years ago that left
me in such a condition that my life
was despaired of
“I got no relief from doctors nor
from the numberless heart and nerve
remedies I tried because 1 didn’t know
that coffee was daily putting me back
more than the doctors could put me
ahead
“Finally at the suggestion of a friend
I left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and against my expectations I
gradually Improved In health until for
the past 6 or 8 months I have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking weakening
spells of heart trouble
“My troubles all came from the use
of coffee which I had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when I quit coffee and took up the use
of Postum” Name given by Postum
Co Battle Creek Mich
Many people marvel at the effects of
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum
but there Is nothing marvelous about
It — only common Beuse
Coffee is a destroyer — Postum Is a
rebuilder That’s the reason f
Look In pkgs for tbe famous utile
book “The Road to Wellvllle”
Postum comes In two forms:
Regular Postum — must be well boil-
ed 15c and 25c packages
Instant Postum — Is a soluble pow-
der A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
In a cup of hot water and with cream
and BUgar makes a delicious beverage
Instantly 30c and 50c tins
The cost per cup of both kinds Is
about the same
