Out of respect to theso sentiments the makers of beautiful clothes have evolved ft Bort of Hchcduli) of color arrangements for collars and with a brown towu a green neckband Is considered tho most tasteful combination, with a bluo gown tho dom inant tono near tho lacu should bo bur gundy red und with a red gown black and white and a touch of gold Is tho prefer ence. Just what form tho neckband should tulio Is not far nor dlfllcult to discover, for a broad, straight baud Is universally preferred to any of tho eccentric shaped collars within which devoted womankind suffered and was sllcul. But, after all, tho truo charm of it neckband depends on Its decoration and none but n pcsslmcst could fall to approve with at least live out of tho seven charming deBlgns for collars given In tho sketched group of novelties from a shop famous for these pretty trifles. ' Collar number one, counting from the loft side of tho picture, Is of heavy ecru lace, named, out of deferenco to the ro ccnt International trouble In the east, point do Chine, or Chinese point. It Is a lovely, heavy, deep cream web, woven wholly of silk with tho tiniest and most placablo looking dragons worked on the lnco In gold. Stout whlto milliners' wire holds tho laco linn about tho throat and through tho mesh Is run n uarrow black satin ribbon, shot with gold and fasten ing at the baso of tho collar with a wee soldi buckle. Number two(ln tho group Is a whlto silk stock with n soft,, dull blue crepe de Chine tlo knotted nbout It, whtlo below this ap pears ono of tho prettiest collars of the group. It Is mado vory simply of palo baby bluo Liberty sutlu ribbon speckled. with silver dots and over tho upper edge of tho ribbon folds a uarrow bund of gray, handmada Russian lace. The other col lars tell their stories for themselves, but It remains to bo said on this subject that tho dressmakers supply every gown sent from their rooms this winter with at least throo chances of collars, for It Is tholr bo lief that by tho appearance from tlmo to tlmo of fresh throat decorations tho whole character of a gown Is changed. .ocltjr Winter Goods, A faithful chronicler ot the fashions would havo a pleasant duty unfulfilled not to chroulclo somo ot tho novelty goods on tho busiest counters In tho shops. There Is wool poplin, for Instanco, and cropollne Just over from Eugland and Lyons cords from France and some Irish corduroy that Is well worth discussing at length. This Is uot corduroy as wo havo kltuerto known and worn It, but a soft, faded leaf grocn and chestnut brown woolen goods having u surface Ilka a French serge, though unlike all serges In that at Intervals ot au eighth of an Inch a green or brown velvet cord Is raised on the wool ground work. Very evidently tho Irish corduroy Is having no dlfllculty In plac ing Itself among tho most favored good3 ot this Reason. A crepollue possibility Is shown In tho reproduction of a serviceable llttlo Btrcct suit In pruno color. Very simply tho skirt, bolero fronts, collar and cuffs aro relieved by a treatment In braids of two tones, which, by tho way, Is a favorite trimming. A flat and rather wide white silk braid Is laid on first and upon tho edges of this narrow black braid Is run, .resulting In a Implo but nono tho less brilliant orna mentation. About the bust ntid shoulders of this practical llttlo suit a scarf of black Ilk Manchurlan crepo Is draped and drawn In front through a charming gun metal bucklo, in which small amethysts aro sunk. t'nula for School (ilrln. The slender American girl of 15 or there abouts, though burled to all social pur poses In tho school room, Is yet tho mis tress of certain very clearly donned fash ions.

Ilshold, for example, In what species of box coat tho bollo of tho futuro takes tho air. Her skirt Ih a plain affair of brown oloth kilted to tho knees after tho mode of that skirt used for shooting and fishing. Tho coat slipped over tho flannel shirt waist Is of brown Irish frieze. It Is puri tanically stitched and, though Its lines aro not those of beauty nor Its mission evi dently to suggest graco, It possesses tho exceeding featuro of bclug as convenient as a cupo but twlco as warm and abso lutely waterproof. Tho stunting pockets cut in tho breast aro to hold and warm the hands on frigid days nud tho hut that ac companies this useful wlntor walking cos- tumu Is a stitched brown felt ot eighteenth century military shape and re lieved by a tuft of brown satin ribbon at ono side. Hardly less sovoro In line, but equally r.mart, Is tho companion figure to tho brown Ideal of comfort. The darkest blue Pentland oergo forms tho body of tho coat and skirt, which aro boldly relieved by gay facings and bindings of tho bright royal Stuart tartan. This Is daring, but swoet sixteen does appear to advantages In theso squaro cut clothes that are topped off by a round red felt having a crown scarf of dark bluo silk, drawn In front through a calrngorn buckle. Quicksilver silk and Madeira embroidery nro two coutplcuous features of dress at this moment.

To bo a member of tho society ono must bo between 17 nnd 30 years of age. It Is during this period of life, say the young ladies, that ono Is most apt to bo sought by swains, sincere or otherwise, and bo needs protection. Meetings are held nt stated lntervnls, or a member can call a rpcclal meeting If Bho wishes that the oth ers may consider somo especial and press ing case. The first president of tho society, elected last October, and who will hold ofilco for a year, Is Miss Jeanetto 13. Corley. Tho vice president nnd tho young woman who will, says Miss Corley, be made president next, Is Miss Allco fierce. Under Miss Corley's leadership tho association has grown to a strength of nearly half a hundred, nnd It Is sutd that almost every young woman who has been approached and asked to join has dono so. The method of looking Into tho character of a young man Is Blmple. The society holds ono ot Its stated meetings and each youiirf woman who has n swain of whom she Is at nil doubtful gives his naino nnd as many particulars as alio deems desirable to tho club. All Is hold In strict secrecy. A com mittee Is nriolnted from among thoso pres ent, nud then thcro commences an investi gation.

FOIl MUTUAL l'UOTj:CTIOX. rlny State Vouna; Women Organise to Foil Unprincipled Men. "Oh, for a man! any kind of a man!" Is not the heart cry of all young women, re ports tho Boston Herald. Thcro are some of the sex who much as ther deslro.to "set tle down lu life," havo too much good sense to Jump at tho first man who offers himself In marrlage.Mrrespectlve of his moral char acter or financial standing. Among these aro a considerable number of tho leading so- clty girls of Plymouth, Mass., who have or ganlzud themselves Into a society for mu tual protection against worthless members ot the opposite sex. Tho organization was prompted by an In cldent that occurred last summtner. A young man summering at riymouth becamo en gaged to one of tho pretty Puritans there and their marriage was thought to be one ot the future's surest promises. Hut to the utter Hiuazcmeut and great shock of the good townspeople, a dark beauty turned up one day, claimed the protpcctlve bridegroom as her hujb.md and took him away with her. mo shocked young woman who had thought herself soon to be married collapsed at the rovolatlon and was very 111 for u long time. She had friends In town and about tho countryside, and some of them, remem bering for their part tho evanescent char acter of tho wooing ot summer men, quietly bauded together for mutual protection.

CRKl'OLINB HUM Sl M n Overwrought Nerves. As soon as a woman's nerves beconio excited by somo feminino disorder, she loses control of her speech. Sho has no patience with anybody or anything. Tho ones sho loves tho best aro the ones to whom she talks tho meanest. Trifles light as air drive her almost frantic. Sho is worse than crazy, because she knows what she is doing and can't help it. Sho doesn't havo hysteria and doesn't have fainting spells. Sho is nervous, horribly nervous. Does she get sympathy ? Oh, yes, sho gets sympathy for awhilo, but sho acts so outrageously that everybody keeps out of her way as much as possible. After a while they begin to think she's malicious and could do better if sho tried real hard, She has turned her best friends against her. ' This woman is sick with about the most discouraging sickness women can have, and thero is a person who understands hor case bettor than any ono elso in tho world. That person is Mrs. Piukham. Tho nervousness comes from some derangoment of tho feminine organs, and is constantly fed and made worse by tho constantly developing disease, v Female diseases never get bettor of themselves. They must have proper treatment. Ordinary physicians do not know how to grapple with these dis eases of women. Out of tho hundreds of thousands of women Mrs. Pinkham has cured, not ono in livo hundred tried her advico or hor medicino until they had exhausted the skill of their own physician, sometimes of several physicians. Mrs. Pinkhairi's address is Lynn, Mass. Her advice is prompt and free to all suffering women. You may not know that your nervousness comes from femalo troubles. Your doctor may not know it. Ho may tell you it does not ; but does ho euro you? Does ho help you any? Mrs. Pinkham will tell you the truth about yourself, and you'll believe her. Don't throw your life's happiness away and make yourself unlovable, when a little diligent hood to Mrs. Pinkham's advico will drive away your nervousness by romoving tho cause of your trouble. Read carefully tho letters from womon Mrs. Pinkham has helped. Aftor thirty years of success in curing women's ills, can you not behove it worth while to test the virtues of Heartfe Stones from Cured Women. " Deah Mns.

" lloforc talcing your Vegetable Compound I was a misery to myself and every one around me. I never laid my nchhiff head upon my pillow without wishing I could die.
