New Neckwear Ideas 1*^. By ELEANOR GINN. The return to fresh lingerie collars is one of the arresting features for spring. White leads, hut ecru, which shades from cream to a deep tone called amber, plays a prominent role just now and Is one of the most pop ular factors, although It does not en tirely supercede white. Tailored sets are particularly in totestlng and are developed In linen, Paine, English broadcloth, crepe da •'bine and organdie voile. Gauntlet cuffs ars shown with the majority of sets, but not the extremely deep ty'pes, for they have not proven to he as popular. Straight ruffs are also offered and several models are fas tcned with pearl buttons. Collars sre round and pointed In the Peter Tan or Dutch neck type. Vestees have collars similarly mod eled In addition to wide V shaped .^^•nover models. Vestees are made with pleated jabots of embroidered batiste In three-tier effects, with full length ruffles, and with narrow panels, out lined with cording or formed by pin tucking. The latter type has cuffs - ■■■ ■-■ edged with a. hand of plntucking to correspond. Colored embroideries are effectively employed on tailored sets, exem plified in an amber colored pique model embroidered In bright blue conventional floral design. Net pleat ing* edge several organdie- sets, sev en td of which are modeled in tiers. More formal types are seen In net combined with filet. Irish and Valen cientie laces, modeled in the bateau and round shapes to correspond with tlig necklines of afternoon frocks. (Copyright; 1924.) -\ Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” “What Are You Going to Do About It?” Mother Graham's explosixe com ment that not one of her son-in-law's ianiily had spoken to him for fifteen \>mra before his recent tragic death, interrupted the reading at the letter from the attorney for Ike Harrison family only for a second or two. Characteristically, it was my mothc#^ in-law who spoke first. Leaning f \ atd In her chair she spoke IrritaMy to Lillian. “Well, Mrs. Underwood, what are \ou waiting for?" she demanded. ' i.et us hear the rest of this precious epistle. Where did you stop?" "Are they keeping them without having consulted us as to our wishes in the matter?” Lillian repeated com rosed ly. “Hat chanoe they have, of having i heir wishes consulted,” Dicky mur mured belligerently. T don’t sup pose they know the names of one of the children.” “Richard,” his mother commanded w 1th Icy dignity, “see that you do not interrupt again.” "Therefore.” Lillian went on, “we are notifying you now that whereas the mother’s death was prior to the father's, the law gives to the fa.ther's family the guardianship of the chll dren and the administration of the estate, provided no will be left. There *Wno record of any will, and we been Informed that though a strenuous and most Inhuman effort wag made at the hospital to have the dying man sign a will—it was prevented by his death. No Trouble Wanted! “YVe do not wish any unnecessary trouble,” Lillian's somewhat throaty contralto continued, "and will make none if the children are at once re stored to our custody. They will he provided with good homes. Each of the three brothers will take a boy, while the girl will be given a home v ith her aunt. We will wait five days for the arrival of the children. If l hey are not here in that time we shall put tlie machinery of law in motion. Yours very truly. “JOSEPH T/OBDELL, “Attorney at Law.” “l-'or the Family of William Harrl s«»b.” “Their signatures sre all append ed.” said Lillian, “hut it will take me a minute or two to decipher them.”, ■ Dont’ wait for them,” Mother ( raham commanded. “We haven't time. It’s enough to have this rig nmrole handed us. What do you ir.nke of It, anyway?” Hho addressed th* group ss a whole, but It was Dicky who an swered. “I'd like to lamp this Lobdell bird,” lie said. “Did you ever hear such a scream ss that screed Is? Can't you just see him, a dried-up little old weasel from one of those little Penn rylvania towns—” "Who may not know much about the writing of a legal epistle,” Lillian struck In, "but who, nevertheless, be nhle |o tie you all up In dou bowknots if you don't get ahead * of him. ' The Appeal In Harriet. “Spoken like the sensible woman j-iu are,” my mother In law com ^merited. “Richard, if you can't do anything but make ridiculous com ments, leave the room.” “Oh, I'll be good,” lie promised, moving to a place behind his moth er, where ho put me into an agony cf apprehension for tho control of my laughter muscles by the wry grimaces he made at me. See to It that you are," Mother Graham said grimly, and then she turned to her daughter. "Harriet! Haven't you anything to say?” At the words every pair of eyes in the room turned on Harriet Bralth waite, and we saw a stately woman trying hard to crush the emotion which threatened to cast her dignity and self control to tho winds. Her face was working, and at her mother's question she threw out her arms with a sound in her throat as 1 fshfc were choking. Her husband started toward her, but she waved him back Imperatively. “Oh! Oh." she gasped. "To think there can be such people In the world! Do you see what they are planning—to separate those children —each one In a different home—I mean house—there Is no such thing as a home In that family. They would never know love, they would never know pleasure or any birthright of childhood. Work and Just as little schooling as the law would permit— that would bo the lot of each one of them.” She stopped chokingly, and her mother's voice struck in, coolly, tan talizingly Insistent. “Well," she said, “what are you going to do about It?” (Copyright. 1924.)
