ea that all poralbl ohaogn
bed Ions ago been rang upon
feminine neckwear, vet the de-
igner continue to bring out
pleasing variations upon the old
I theme and newer were they more dellc-
' lotmly dainty than thny are at the moment,
' . Naturally there Is a flood of coarse mod-
ela fashioned upon the general lines of the
f in neckwear and the fad for frllla an
jabots and such flufflneas has brought
about a distressing exhibition of preten-
tlous and unattractive thlnga of this aoi t,
but ersn when one cannot afford to buy
the loveliest of the stocks and frills. It
U possible to find model which are dainty
nd chlo without being expensive If on
Will but exercise discretion and taste.
Good lac and fine hand embroidery are
perforce expensive and the woman who
cannot afford to pay high prices must
content herself wtlh neckwear that does
not boast these accessories. Better a
plaited frill of fine net or lawn, untrlmmed,
than a frill trimmed In coarse lace or pre
tention machine work, and luckily there
are many of the simple though dainty
models from which to choose If one but
had the judgment to choose wisely. '
The cleansing and laundering qualities of
neckwear are also to be taken into con-
alderatlon by the woman who must econ-
omise and it la orten true mat an expeu
lv frill or collar la cheaper In the long
run than one that costs much lesa at the
gtart, because the more expensive article
may be laundered again and again while
the cheaper one, when It loses Its fresh
ness, Is entirely out of commission.
If one la to accept thla excuse for ex
travagance one must make sure that the
costly trifle really will stand much laun
dering or cleansing and moreover will not
require extraordinary clever handling. The
laundering of the fine neckwear which
every woman covets this season calls for
more Intelligence or skill than the average
laundress possess and the wise woman la
she who, unlesa she is bleaaed with that
rara avis, an inspired and conscientious
laundress, assumes the responsibility of
laundering her frills and collar herself.
She may be densely Ignorant at the start
but she will have mure paUenu UiaUi the
laundress and will be willing to spend more -time
on the work, and she will know too
exactly how the thlnga should look after
they are! Maundered, which is more thanv
one can say for a vast majority of the
women who make laundry work their busi
ness. She will handle the filmy materials
and fine laces - more carefully than 'any
one who has not paid for their fllmlness
and fineness will. Yes; every girl, or
woman whose pocket money Is limited
should launder her own fine neckwear and
her own fine lingerie blouses, too, for that
matter, and possibly it is a realization of
this fact which has made the 'laundry
classes In several of the Brooklyn and New
-York training schools so popular. ine

The business girl who earns her own
money and provides for her own needs
learns the value of money and becomes
experienced ln spending it Judiciously. This
1 one of th greatest gains of a business
experience. Th average girl knows little
about money until she has some suoh train
ing. Bhe 1 usually given a little "pocket
money, but aa her clothing and other es
sentials axe provided by her parents she
spend thla generally as she pleases. -
By going Into business a girl learns some
of the hardships of life, and It. Is just us
well to realise that life Is not all "beer
and skittles." She Is better fitted to train
her children for what is ahead of them
ln the battle of lifea,- She Is prepared to
point out to them th sort of armor they
will need and to help them put It on.
Bhe learns, too; self-control. ' She is no
longer at the mercy of her whim and
'Caprices. There Is no place In business for
these things, . and they are gradually
eliminated from her character.
Best of all, a few years spent In the
business world teach her bettjr than any
thing else what aort of home the business
person needs and what a home means to
the one who works. Nothing else can g1v
her Just this Inxlght. Sh knows whaty'lt
Is to come to a cheery, comfortable home
at night, where a nourishing and appetis
ing meal awaits her, where everything
possible has been thought of t rest and
refresh her. She realises to the full Just
what thla means to the tired worker. She
1 ready'to give It to the man she loves.
Th business girl Is certainly a broader
minded, more alert, more capable woman
and. therefore, a better wlf than the girl
who has no training to develop her along
these lints.

IN NECKWEAR.
Real Irish- lace In
the narrow Insertions and narrowed edses
still remains a favorite In the realm ofjln-
Ecrle neckwear but It Is often softened' by
combining it with Valenciennes, and valen-
dennes and cluny are much used without
the Irish

Handsome- Venlse is also used for some
of: the expensive neckwear, but is satis-
Actory only when of quality ao good as
to be exceedingly expensive; and even then
is so heavy that it does not give effects as
charming, a those obtained with more
and are made in many attractive designs.

Chicago's Prettiest Girl.'
.Miss Genevieve Lyons,' a 17-year-old
pupil of Englewood High school, possessed
of wonderful brown eves, undulating
brown hair, the nose of a Greek goddess
and, the mouth of a smiling baby, has
been proclaimed the prettiest school girl
ln Chicago. ,.
Her Image, in marble, is Ube graven as
a monument to the' quintessence of adoles
cent Chicago beauty in the kcystono of
the new Hotel Sherman. Bhe begins a
series of sittings before Josef Korbel, the
brilliant young nculptdr, , who has Just
been. awarded the John C. Shaffer prise
at the Chicago Art institute for his ideal
ized head in marble," "The Inspiration."
Miss Lyon, together, with several hun
dred other young women, competed for
tile honor of the beauty prize and the Im
mortality of a statuej reproduction where
it- would look Into the facea of a million
people dally from the corner of Clark and
Randolph atreeta Her photograph waa
the very last to be submitted. The Judges
aelected It unanimously, sent for her and
found that the photograph had not de
ceived tnetn' They faced th prettiest
girl they had ever seen. - -
Together with the glory. Miss Lyon wlna
a prise of $100 and a scholarship at the
Art Institute, awarded by Joseph Beifeld,
president of the Bherniait-Hotel company.
Mr. Korbel, the sculptor, expressed him
self as enraptured with her beauty.
"Bhe has the idealized type of the Ameri
can perfection "of face," he said. "Hers
does not follow, any of the classic types,
but' is a fusion and amalgamation of the
beauties of all the old races commingled
in a modern perfection which can be seen
only in America the , 'melting pot.' I
have never seen a more lovely faoe."

Miss Kvalyn B. Longman, whose figure
of Victory surmounted the dome of Fes

hibition, was th youngest of six children
of an Ohio family. Bhe worked as a clerk
for several year ln a Chicago wholesale
house, and, having saved' S265, went to
Olivet college, ln Michigan to study art
When that was gone she went back to
work In Chicago, but finally after -two
more years of drudgery, resolved to go to
New York, arriving there with but H0 In
her pocket. She finally got Into the studio
of Daniel C. French, and from that time
her rise was rapid. Bhe was awarded the
