HIGH COLLARS.
When and Why the Uncomfortable Fashion
Originated.

Originated.
Haberdasher, in San Francisco Chronicle.
''Are they uncomfortable" asked the reporter,
handling one suspiciously.
That depends upon the person. / have men
come in here with the collar tips propping llp
their ehins-and to save their life they could not
look behind them unless they turned their whole
body-declare that the only thing in the collar
line which was comfortable was those that were
high Then we have another kind of customer,
the timid mock modest, young man, a kind of
dude on the quiet, who just wants the high col
lar to save his neck from the night fogs and the
afternoon wind and the morning sun He sir,
is the difficult one to suit. He is not at all par
tieular. Anything viii do; but youcan make up
your mind mind that you VIII have e

say you think you see the low collar more preva-

wearing high collars and the little neektie. The

A pretty girl of Clifton was talking politics to
her best Young man the other night, and he was
rather surprised.
why Lucy, he said, do you read the pa

''Oh, yes, and just dote on it. I'm getting

The style of the Mother Hubbard dresses so
very fashionable this season, like everything
else that becomes the rage, is being carried to
excess, fact which threatens their ultimate
popularity. Some of the latest gowns noticed
upon beyy of society young ladies were ex-
ceedingly bizarre in effect, though there were
Others that looked uncommonly lovely in the
dress Among the aforementioned was Mother
Hubbard made of very broad-striped Persian
silk goods pink, blue olive, and crimson pre-
dominating in the colors of the stripes A
guimpe and sleeves of dark red lace covered the
neck and arms, and the Hubbard waist was held
on each shoulder by a shower Of satin ribbons,
which reproduced the many colors of the striped
skirt A dark red bebe sash was tied in an
overwhelming bow in the back and at the foot
of the skirt was balayeuse of dark olive satin,
veiled with narrow founce Of red lace You
could see the girl from any distance to which
you put yourself, and the loops of ribbon float
ing from the plump shoulders few about like so
many silken lasses in the eyolutions of game
of tennis to the imminent peril Of the necks of
her flying comrades in the lively sport.
