Fancy Collars.
Embroidered and fancy collars rep-
resent such u multiplicity of style one
scarcely knows where to touch the
fingers while malting a s-alectlon. The
smartest of them are made of lace
embroidered or of LouIs \VI. embroideries -
broltlcrles In soft linen. Then there
are deep lace collars embroidered
wIth small colored floral effects In
black chenille anti gold thread which
brighten lip a black taffeta bodice
wonderful ! Narrow silk ties with
lace ends outlined with a narrow silver -
VOl' Russian cord are pretty , and
these display three or more sliver
tiny cord buttons on the mitered ends.
The lawn embroidered cravats look
well on pink and blue bodices , and
there are collar and cuff sets made of
fine lace insertion trimmedIth white
silk soutache.

Ants In a Bee Hive.

from carrying off honey from a beehive

Formerly I believed that the ant
were a cause of Injury to the bees ,
but I have now come to the conclusion '

cluster that attracts them rather than
the bees or honey. The ants disap-

You may use salt to good advantage
in ridding your asparagus bed at

hundred pounds per acre spreading
