HIGH COLLARS FOR GIRLS.

@ UMMER girls are TO wear chokers this
- year. Their collars are TO be as high
as those worn by their brothers, and
will lie of the same patterns. One OF these
collars, two and a half inches high, with
corrers which turn over slightly under
pressure of the chin, Is known as the poke
point. II is a most alarming example
of neckwear, and the girl that wears II is
sure to keep her head up. She must. unless
she means to cut her throat Some girls
with particularly long neCkS Will go
another half inch in their collars, and wear
the poke point fully three inches high,
says the New York Journal.
The stock collar has been worn for the last
few months in silk Now it is to be made
in summer goods. 1t viii be in grass cloth,
collar is a necktie and collar combined u
is a wide band of material that goes COM
pletely around the neck, and is tied in bow
in front. IL is all ready to put on, being
made like mems evening ties, with a loop
that fastens to a button at one snap
All the collars worn by the summer girls
will fit snugly. They are made with button
holes, to fit tightly to the buttons Sewed
upon the shirt waist, so that the whole
arrangement is solid. There are no collar
buttons to come off and roll under the

AT-HOME DAYS.

AXyIVES OF professional men, whose
w special line obiges them to mix
wit h people III different social
grades, are sometimes "A little puzzled
how to manage with day A doctors
wife, for instance, who must visit her
husbands patients, even If they are not
exactly in her own set, perhaps hestates
about starting an ''at home day, from q
feeling that people may be likely TO meet
in her drawing-room who may not care
to know each other. OF course, this idea
is more an apprehension than anything
else. People used to society have no
morbid fear OF losing caste by finding
themselves III the same room with people
not in their set, and they are aware that
such meeting entails no social conse-
quenceS of after acquaintance. But TO
save the hostess own feelings on the
subject is very easy. She need not men
tion her day, nor have it on the cards she
socially be in her own set.
Gentlemen take their hats or sticks with
them into the drawing room on an ordi-
nary lat home day, as they would do on
any morning CALL not leaving them i'll the
hail. as if it were an invitation lat home"
When tea comes they naturally arise and
pass it, waiting on all the ladies present.
on arriving at the house the caller should
always ask whether the hostess is at
home, for although the intimation on the
card would lead one to expect il, the con-
ventional formula is only dispensed with
when one comes TO the house by special
invitation.

FOR SEASICk BRIDES.

NU MBERS of rich women one meets on
~ board the big liners either take special
travelingmaids with them, W hose chief
recommendation is their capacity for nurS-
ing cases of seaSickness, or, like the brides
who have set off this spring for the European
honeymoon, engage the service OF trained
nurses. There is nothing these women think
more discouraging and cooling to the ardor
of a young husband than to have scasiCk
wife on his hands, and a woman who be-
comes so i'll that "a few spoonfuls of arrow
root every few hours is all the food she can
take, pays a nurse to see her through the
dangers Of the deep, and sends the minister
ing angel back ON the return voyage.
However, we all can't afford TO enjoy the
benefits of trained nursing, and in great
degree the intensity of ones NAL de mer
depends on the clevcrncSs, good nature and
unfailing attentions of the stewardcss. II
you know you are to go down during the
voyage set aside your biggest tip for the
stewardeSs and divide it into three parts.

THE POPULAR WHITE VEIL.

HAVE you noticed how fond of white
wells women are becoming? One
economical maiden told me that they
can be washed frequently, and that that
was the secret of their popularity. But 1
assign more coquettiSh reason. They are
bewitchingly becoming. 1t has been dis
covered that whereas it is possible to
wear cheap colored yeils with more or
less impunty, the white veil needs to lie
good to be even tolerable.
White, of course, is a generic term, the
species Including cream, ecru, butter color
and even a very light tan. The wells range
in price from 81 to SIS, which is freely
asked for some especial confection, with
hand-wrought lace edges and figures. a
curious effect OF the milk-whte veil is that
ii heightens the fairness of blonde face
and adds a becoming tinge of duskiness
to an olive cOmDlcxiOn

much more important, as it fashions the

SOME FLORAL HINTS.

THE novelty OF the season is the Bra
1 lillian pine, which is really u very small
cedar tree. 1t is utilized to decorate
bay windows aud porches.
Ferns this spring are immense in size.
They are yellowish green in color, with
leaves long and slender, and come as high
in price as So a single pot
Mosa r"sebuds promise to be the Popular
favor for debutantes during the coming
summer. Two buds tied with pale pink
ribbons at each cover are effective.
La France roses in small punches are
considered the elegant table border They
are combined with broad ribbons OF the
same shade and supply an admirable color
scheme.
Crinkled tissue paper seems to be much
used for the dressing Of plants, especially
the hydrangea. For this flower it is
placed under the stem so as to form cup
like effect Yards of pale pink ribbon are
draped over the pot and blossoms.

FACTS ABOUT SHOES.

PORTUGUESE shoes have wooden soles
and heels, with vamps made of patent
leather, fancifully showing the flesh
side of the skin. The Persian footgear is
a raised shoe and is often a foot high. It
is made OF light wood, richly inlaid, with
strap extending over the iDstep. The
Muscovite shoe is hand-wOven. on a wooden
frame, and but little attention is paid to
the shape of the foot.
Leather is sometimes used but the san
Gal is generally made of silk Cordage and
wooden cloth. The SiameSe shoe has the
form of an ancient canoe, with a gondola
bow and an open toe. The sole is made of
wood and the upper of inlaid wood and
cloth. and the exterior is elaborately orna-
mented in colOrs with gold and silver.
The sandal Worn by the Egyptians is COM
posed of sole made by sticking together

HERE AND THERE.

One can not expect to take of
heavy crops for successive years with
out returning fertility of some sort to
the soil.
The statement will bear often re-
peating that warm stables save food,
and as lumber is cheaper than fodder
and hay. this warmth should be pro.
vided wherever animals are kept.
The successful farmer is the man
who has a good business education.
He uses business-like methods in his
daily practice only by force Of discipline
administered at some earlier period IN
his life.
AS every housewife knows, there
are many other uses for ice on the
farm than in the dairy. The time for
filing the icehouse comes when the
farm teams are idle, and when the time
can be spared.
Many beekeepers may profit in les.
sons of neatness and cleanliness from
the bee, especially in marketing the
products of the bees labor. Care in
placing products upon the learket in
neat, clearly shape insure better
prices.
Impure drinking-water causes dis
ease among stock almost as generally
as among human beings, and it is pos
sible often to trace numerous animal
complaints to the filthy ponds, lakes,
streams and mud where they have
been accustomed to get their daily
drink.
