Fancy Neckwear a Mania
T
UK vogus of fuicy neckwear
has reached the proportions of
a mania, and the amount of
money spent en neckwear by
the modish (urnnitr girl li cal
culated to make serious Inroad
Upon any ordinary dress tUowtnra
Of tourm some of the tittle collari. bowa,
jabota, etc.. ara mod. rate In price, but on
needs many of them In order to look dainty
and fresh, and moreover the prettiest of
these accessories ara often surri-lslngly ex
pensive, thanka to tha real lace and the
handwork bestowed upon them.
Concerning the high turndown collar of
embroidered linen or lac little remaina to
be said. Such collar are till worn, with
bewitching fluffy bow and frllla to keep
them company; but there li an Increasing
tendency toward atork Idea, and the
French designers are putting out a sur
prising variety ef pretty thlnga In the stock
line.
There are, too. new collar of embroid
ered linen, or of linen and lace, which ap-
goM braid, only the tiniest edge of the
plaited net being allowed to extend abore
the bottom of the atock la another bend
of the narrow gold braid or ribbon tying
In a atirf lUUe bow In the front.
A Parisian fancy dictate the wearing of
high atock made of folded ribbon drawn
tightly around the throat and held In place
by aome klod of boned support. At the
top of thin atock 1 tbe modish deep frill,
and perhap there I another at the base
of the throat. The ribbon Is tied In a
ooe,uottlah bow at alJe, front or back.
Similar to thl atcck are the neck ruche,
which axe the erase of the hour. These
ax usually formed of several upetsn.llng
plslted frills of net or lace and several
down falling frills to match, with a wide
oft ribbon dividing the two, and tying
In a bow at side, back or front. Consid
erable variety of det&ll Is Introduced Into
these ruchos, and they are to be had In all
colors, but the Parisian particularly likes
creamy net or lace or lingerie and lace
with black ribbon. Irish lace Is much used
for high socks
with bows or ra-
bats to match, but
real Valenciennes
and real cluny are
quite as popular
In the province of
neokwear, and
even the good Im
itation valenclen
aes gives excel
lent results.

Peal to those
young enough for
the somewhat
Tout hful effect.
Thene collars, one
of which appears
among the sketch
es, are mounted on
a band, but are
much deeper than
the ordinary flat
turndown and
spread a little, run
ning down almost
to Eton depth In
front, but with
sharper points and
narrower openings
than the Eton
models show.
Where this collar
Is becoming It Is
very smart look
ing with a tailored blouse or plain morning
frock.
Other colmrs, much closer to regulation
Eton lines, hut mounted on a band which,
whll" not hlKh, brings the collar up more
closely around the throat than the Eton,
are much worn and are comfortable
things for hot days, though they are essen
tially of youthful character. They are
lnadn In embroidered linen of varying soft
ness and sheeiness, ranging from the stiff,
boyish collar to sheer collars exquisitely
hand embroidered and Inset with lace.
Bowa to match accompany many of these
collars and pretty sets have the collar,
turn back cuffs to match and a front frill
for the blouse. Dainty and comparatively
Inexpensive sets of this character are
made up In striped batiste or lawn, white
with fine stripes of pink o' blue, or brown
or red; the collars, ruffs and a band for
the blnure front being made plainly of the
material, with narrow bordering frills of
plain ccilcr match'ng the slrlpo.
Bets somewhat similar to these In gen- .
ral character are made of finely plaited
white lawn or mull, with narrow borders
cf color, and a Jabot frill of the plaited ma
terial tak.es the place of the flat band with
bordering frills.
The liking of wide frills about the throat
Increases sten. Illy, though this fashion Is
not generally becoming. Parisians go with
thronts swathed high In fluffy frills and
ruches, a concession to the dlrectolre modes
of the day, and the beat New Tork shop
echo this Parisian note by displacing much
of this frilled neckwear. Por the woman
to whom It Is becoming It Is most piquant
and clinrmlng, hut length and slenderness
uf throat are absolutely essential to suc
cessful wearing of such neck ornaments.
High, clone collar of finely tucked net or
lingerie or of lace are cut down In front
and run up to exaggerated height behind
the earn ami In the back. The top Is such
a collar Is finished with a rather wide
plaited or shirred frill, which stands out
around the n'.n and droovs more or lees
over the collar.
Sometimes a corresponding but wider
frill finishes the bottom of the collar as
well, the pUitlng falling downward over
the blouso. Sometimes a narrow cravat Is
tho bottom fmlh. and this fay be a nar
row tie in silk, knotted In a stiff little or la
a bow with donglea In the front, or It may
be a narrow tie of fine lawn or mull em
broidered on the ends and tying In a
dainty little bow under the chin. '
Other stocks have no cravat passing
around the throat, but have a delightful
bow or frill st on the front and match
ing tha atock.
Home poit attractive stiff stocks In linen
hand embroidered In color axe shaped at
top, but without a top frill. At the bottom
of the collar In front two wide eyelet silts
are embroidered and through them Is
clipped a tie embroidered to match the
collar and hanging In two flat tabs, on a
little longer and wider than the other.
Rows and cravats of silk or velvet and
lace are numerous and are worn with any
straight suck to hlds the Una of Joining
'twtxt stock and blouss. For lnstanoe, a
narrow oravat oi silk running round the
base of the throat will knot carelessly In
front and fall In two ends, four or fire
Inches long, each end being finished with a
tassel-like frill of lace shirred up very
tightly. Or a wider, folded cravat of silk
may encircle the thnxut. knot la front
around a fluffy lingerie and lac bow and
fall In two ahort ends, eaoh finished with a
plaited tab of the lingerie and lace.
Roth the silk and the lingerie cravats
are Illustrated among the cuta, as la a Ohio
little French stock of finely plaited brussela
net, At the top the fine plaiting u held

Germany's Dreaa Ralatlons.
The oberpostdirectlonsbeslrka revlsor
otherwise a district Inspector of the Post
office department of Germany on a tour
of Inspection found a telephone operator m
a small town "wearing a white silk waist,
cut low at the neck. Instead of the blue
uniform waist," and reported the offender
to the chief of the Inspection office. "Not
only," said lie, "were the regulations of
the service violated, but tha slllc garment
was cut very low." The ohlef office di
rected the immediate discharge of tha tele
phone operator and gave warning to other
possible offenders that women In tha im
perial service must "dress In keeping with
the service regulations."
Leaves from Fashion's Notebook.
Among the novelties ara tha suede pumps,
whioh are trimmed with tiny bowa to ex
actly match tha shoes.
One of the smart things of the season U
tha all linen costume whioh consists of
many pieces, all made of linen and em
broidered in the same design.
Bordered linens ara having a great
vogue. They can be made up with tho
border arranged in panel shape down the
front or with the border used In tunio da
sWu
The big hats which attained such vogue
In the spring are being worn this summer
nd will probably last over Into fall. But
the big hat, -ven should It go out of
'style, Is no extr wagancu, tor It can so
easily be cut down.
I Rose pink stockings are worn with rose
colored canvas ties, whioh match tha rtve
foulards, pongees and summer silks. Silk
stockings are woven In two or three tone
to match the girdle. Brown and greej
ilk stockings are fashionable.
Hand embroidered linen girdles, with tha
work all done in soft pale colors, are seen.
They are fastened tnvfolbly with hooka and
ejes, making the girdle appear as though
It had no opening. This gives the waUt
a very round and youthful effect.
Handsome summer dresses are made of
tan colored linen. Borne of the prettiest of
these are of natural linen, striped In gay
stripes, showing all the beet colors of the
season. The stripes are small and Incon
spicuous, but they lend a smart touch to
the otherwise plain linen tone.
The gulmpe of net holds Its own In the
fashionable world. It Is so becoming that
It will be a long time before It Is driven
out. With this net gulmpe there are long
wrinkled net sleeves that extend right
down to the very knuckels. These mitten
sleeves ars worn a great deal by the
woman ef fashion, who finds that they
make a welcome change from the elbow
Sleeves of many seasons past.
One of the new trimmings Is that of the
fllet net banding, which comes in various
colors. Insertions of fllet lace from one
to three Inches wide can be obtained for
waist and skirt trimmings. The fllet Is In
soft pink, In light blue, in corn or green.
White lace of fllet design can be embroid
ered In colors and used with charming ef
fect upon the fancy summer waist.
For late summer and early fall wear
there are foulard dresses with cloth coat
to match. The Coat le three-quarters
length and lined with the foulard. A hand
some drees was made of leaf green foulard
figured In brown. A tight fitting three
quarter coat of green cloth waa Buttoned
with brown enamel buttons. The coat was
lined with the bright foulard and the hat
was In tha foulard tones. A suit of this
description can be worn uutU It Is time to
put on a fur coat.

hvery mother dreads the pain attendant upon the most critical
period of her Hfe. Becoming a mother should be a source of Joy, but
the suffering incident to the ordeal makes its anticipation one of dread.
Mother's Friend Is the only remedy which relieves women of much of
the pain of maternity; this hour, dreaded as woman's severest trial, is
not only made less painful, but danger is avoided by its use. Those
who use this remedy are no longer despondent or gloomy; nervous

people," says a writer In Apple
ton's masaslna, I heard tha
mother ef a daughter who had been grad
uated with dlfctlnruished honor In an un
usual profession for women, tall, wtth no
apparent feeling of Inconsistency, that her
daughter, Just married, waa studying her
husband's profession, with a view to adopt
ing it and abandoning her own. Here waa
a woman who had chosen her awn pro
fession a strong-minded woman, men
would call her, and a masculine profession
had fought against hea.vy odds In college
and beyond to establish her right to pursue
it and straightway upon marrying did tha
characteristically feminine thing, threw her
profession eut af doors, and dedicated her
fine mind to her husband's Service for
are. "When women who are leaders make
suoh sacrifices gladly, can one believe that
tha rank and file will ever establish their
claims for consideration as Independent In

"While on this point, something might
be said of tha part that many women play
In supplementing, even In supplying the
Intellectual resources of their husbands to
make them what they are In their prefea
slons. A wife behind tha scenes does often
times more to advance a man's worldly
atatton than a whole library of Bla-k-tones.
If brilliant women got half tha
mental assistance from husbands and
brothers that many men get from wives
and sisters. It Is quite probable that I
should be here explaining why professional
women succeed, Instead of why they fall.
Many great men have not been the greatest

"Oeur Biibaal."
Tha editor of tha Emporia (Kan.) Times
is Mr a Mary McCrsary Parkman. She la
a loyal democrat and hus served two terms
as county superintendent, elected by her
party, or parties, aa the euse may be. Her
husband la Harrison Parkman, republican
county aerveyor, and candidate for re
nomlnaUon. It la one of tbe rules c-t the
Times office that Mr. Parkman's name
ahall not appear In the paper. When a
news Item requires mention of him, he
appears as "the county surveyor." ' This
policy of blacklisting her husband has
caused soms comment In the town, and.
la her own defense, the Emporia Oagetis
authorises Mrs, Parkmaa to print the fol
lowing editorial:
"We have been asked frequently why
are keep our husband on the blacklist In
the Emporia Times. Now, ordinarily, what
we do w,Ui our husband la our own busi
ness. And It would seem In all fairness
that If we put up with this man morning,
noon and night wa shouldn't have to ba
putting him In the paper all the time. We
and our husband, like all married people,
have our agreements and our disagree
aneuta. We agree oa Uteratuae, religion,
art. tbe nebular hypothesis ,the proper
method of poktoar the firs, the value of
breakfast food aa a tva)a builder, paving,
aunlcUaU owuatakrp a4 Uw facta In the
Csnnrmes eaae. But we disagree oa poli
tics. We think our husband baa a good
deal of eense-for a mere lua-ea lots of
aubjecte; but oa poUUca, ba doeao't knpw
much. He Is a republican a black repub
lican, a mean black republican, and as
such has no claims on us either aa a
molder of public opinion, a fcllow-cltlzen,
or aa a wife. We will cook for our
husband; we will mend our husband's
clothing; we will darn and brush him, and
keep him up as our husband. But as an
officeholder of a vile, venal and corrupt or
ganisation, an emissary of Wall street and
as an oppressor of the poor, our husband
has only our unspeakable contempt. Ha
should thank his lucky stars that we do
keep hU name out of the Times.
"We know enough of our husband,
should he attempt to press this matter
too far, to make his vote In this election
little more than scattering. But up to the
present we have said nothing. We have
believed that our duty as an editor. But a
word to the wise should be sufficient, and
If our husband has learned a lick of sense
from past experiences with us, he will take
a grand Immortal tumble to himself and
call off- his dogs. This newnpanor la a
free and untrammeled organ of special
privileges to none and equal rights to all,
and If our husband thinks he belongs to
the privileged classes he Is mighty badly
fooled.
"We think a good bit of our husband,
first and last, and In one way and another,
but we will permit of no foolishness from
this republican county surveyor. He Is a
had lot and we withhold certuln matters
In this affair, on account of the respecta
bility dt the parties concerned."

Itosy-Cheefced Dutch Woman.
At all International meetings held In Eu
rope, writes Ida Husted Harper, much
moro time is given to social festivities than
Is allowed In the United States. Perhaps
this Is not always earrled to such an extent
aa at the last International peace confer
ence, which In The Hague is referred to aa
the "eat congress." But then, what Is so
conducive to peace aa plenty of good din
ners? As a rule sessions here are held only
mornings and evenings, leaving the after
noons free. Foreign women have confi
dentially told us that when they went to
conventions in our country they were sur
feited wtth work and famished for food.
Well, our hustling proclivities must Indeed
seem a little strenuous to them, and It Is
also true that we do not give them aa much
to eat aa they get at home.
At these meetlnga the women of all coun
trtea loOk more rosy and solid than the
Americans, and they declare that U is be
cause we are underfed, but we prefer to
think it Is the difference In climate and the
temperature of the houses In Europe that
gives the ruddier, healthier appearance, and
also the fact that they live much more out
of doors.
Our private opinion Is that American
women are more apt to carry their youthful
figures in middle age than are those of
other countries, and this Is worth some
sacrifice.
We are all, however, deeply appreciative
of the cordial hospitality which we receive
at tiu-Ke congresses abroad. It gives us
glimpses of a home life that even a long
sojourn as tourists would not afford, and
this differs widely among the various na
tions. The most elegant residences In Am
sterdam are situated upon the banks of the
wildest canals, some of them facing the
street, with the garden at the back sloping
down to the water's edge and protected by
denso shrubbery; others separated from the
canal by the paved street and a row of tall
trees, with a walled-ln garden behind; and
In either rase a complete privacy Is assured
which seems Impossible for American
homes.
Home Sonsblee.
Of the 259 graduates this yesr from
Smith college, between seventy-five and
loO designate their work for the future as
"sunshine In the heme." Some of them are
going In for art. for missionary work, and
for music. A few are considering matri
mony. None will be schoolmarma But
the largest percentage loik forward to
being "sunshine In the home."
The Vhrone Is explained as being college
slang for a return to the parents, to
brighten their declining days with the aid
of the acquirements of the four years at
collide. Ths old folks sent awsy their
daughter for a time. Now they recall
her, and she goes gladly back to renume
her place In the family circle.
It la a pretty thought, and aomething
more, observes the Detroit Free Press. A
college course la not a cheap thing in
these daya It la likely that these parents
paid out 82.000 at least for tha training of
each ef tbe daugtuare. la tbe oee of tbe
aeventy-flve or 100 aunshlners, It Is an In
vestment without thought of profit. It
represents a payment of from $1jO,000 to
8300,000 of Idle capital.
Probably most of the girls will be bring,
lng sunshine to another home before many
years for that Is the way of nature, but
It Is pleasant to think of them, for a time
at least, repaying some part of the mother's
solicitous care and the father's willing
self-denial by their sunshine.

Federation has come to an end. For weeks
before the meeting they primed thcmselve
on every historical toint Imaginable, af
they expected to be asked lnnimerabl)
questions about Bunker Hill and Paul He

who in the old burying grounds about town.
Imagine th.lr surprise to find that most
of the women had been there before, or, at

of historical Interest. They were only
asked questions about receptions and such

Mlsa Lillian Russoll spoke her mind re
cently about a very vexing question, and
incidentally she gave some very wise hints
which women In genera, and stout ladles
In particular, will not Inwardly digest. The
other day one of tbe New Tork papers
printed a picture of tha fair Lillian with
fifty pounds of excess weight literally cut
off her figure. This aroused Miss Russell's
righteous Ire, and she Instructed her law
yers to bring suit for damages. "Imagine
me sitting down and allowing any butcher,"
says Miss Lillian, "to curve fhTty pounds
off my figure.. I am a fairly good natured
woman, I think, but nothing that was ever
published about me, whether It was true
or false, ever made me bo angTy. Then,
besides, thrse articles do an Incalculable
lot of harm. It's all very well for men
to laugh at women's fear of growing fat;
but tholr horror of becoming ungainly
amounts In many Instances to a tragedy.
Thousands Of women menaced by thla
horror read of some prominent woman
achieving allmness by one of these freak
experiments, and Immediately begin to try
the same sort of 'stunt' on themselves,
very frequently with dlssstrous results.
Take It from me, a woman who knowa
what she Is talking about on thla aubjeot,
at leajtt: The woman who Is going to
win back symmetry can only achieve It by
sheer self-denial, exercise and bard Work."

A woman In Maryland has a melon farm
and plauts from seventy-dve to luu acrea
of them every year. She sells to New York,
Philadelphia and Ualtinnre markets and
says the work la vsry nice for womun and
la more or less remunerative, too. Of course
the melon culturist must "hold hur breath"
once In a while for fear of blight and other
accidents, but the same Is probably true
In all sorts of planting.
