THAT BLACK RING.

How the Mark Left On the Neck by the
High Stock Collar May 10 Removed.
Is anything more aggravating than
that black. gray or brown streak that
comes abont the neck from the wear
ing Of the high stock collars that have
so long been in vogue The mark Is
not only disfiiguring. but, though it be
scrubbed so il can't be dirt, it looks rs
if soiled and adds disgrace to annoy
ance. The mark is often the result OF
bad dye in the facing OF the collar, and
= half hour Of facing all the collars
with white silk or even white cotton
will be well spent. Sometimes just
the constant rubbing of the stiff
band scars the neck, and constant
scrnbbing with hard soap only makes
the skin seem more sensitive.
and SO the more darkly bruised. Loosen
the collars little and have them fin
ished at the top with . soft roll OF the

ing and often settles the difficulty in .
little while.
So much for prevention; now for re-
moval. If the mark must be taken on

and then with warm soap suds and .
very soft sponge wash off the grease
thoroughly. Rinse with hot water sew

water till the skin is chilled. This
should close the pores and leave the
skin dry and smooth. Unless this is

THE OPENING MUSICAL.
4 Pleasing Programme at the
Mozart Last Evening.

The opening concert Of the musical sea-
son took place last night at the Academy
under the auspices Of the Mozart Asso-
citation. The house was fairly wei iilled,
and the outward tokens of success, con-
slsting of hearty applause and frequent
encores. were as hattering as they were
deserved. The programme consisted OF
vocal selections Of more than ordinary
force and fascination. and while not sac
rldcing the classical to the popular. was
evidently selected with a view Of appeal
ing 10 all classes.
The feature OF the evening was unques-
tionably the singing Of Miss Thee. Worm
ley. Of Philadelphia. VINO possesses true
flexible soprano voice Of excellent range
and power These qualities she makes
use OF with Judgment and effect and her
work shows study and musicianly feel
ing. Her execution OF the difficult pas
sages in the SHADOW Song" from Dino
rah. was very fine, and she sang admi-
rably in the duet with Mr.. Rice, the gar
den scene from Faust" Mr.. Charles \.
Rice. OF New York. displayed an agree
able and fairly powerful voice, which he
rather strained at times. probably 10 bet
ter I'M the house His rendering OF Fle-
gier's Love Song" was. however, thing
apart. and decidedly his best number.
Mr. Frank H. Osborne. Of Brooklyn, has
q true. sweet, and sympathetic baritone
voice. He has, moreover. a temperament
too big for his corporal frame and vocal
equipment He Is the fine de Steele
baritone. who throws vocal prudence to
the winds and lives only in the sentiment
he is expressing.
