Time.
There Is only one word which will
describe the present styles in neck
wear, which word includes everything
from a crush collar to coilet "a tiny
cape), and that is, fluffy" Women
with full faces and short necks cannot
wear the fluffy" neckwear, but they
can wear the lovely turnover collars
of green linen, batiste and embroidery,
which q long, thin neck must avoid.
After ribbon collars are laid around
the neck in easy folds. and bow tied
at the back, they are still further
adorned py a thick frin of lace two
inches wide that falls over the top as it
will. Another one VIII have two or
four lace, grass linen or batiste points
turned over the top, but none ere
caught down. Another idea is TO finish
the top with an erect box-plaiting OF
chiffon, and still another design shows
q frill of two-inch lace caught up in
festoons around the top. Often the col
lar is a perfectly straight band. with
the fullness all at the top in lace or
chiffon frills or plaita. Yokes either

1t was my good fortune to rench one

do I believe in sea serpents?" re-

state fish commissioner, to q reporter
for the New York Times. 81 certainly

details of sea serpents as seen at the

huge marine monsters which appear

about sea serpents to be told"

been captured?"

their extraordinary powers, and the
fact that they are shy and seldom ap.
pear"
why are their bodies not cast
eshore?"
They are probably deep-sea dwell
ers. The bodies of the deep-sea fish are
hot cast ashore, except on rare and
abnormal occasions. For instance, Is
years ago about 1000. 900 deep-sea fish
were found floating dead on the surface
of the ocean. 1t was supposed that a
submarine explosion had killed them.
Deep-sea fish cannot get to the surface
under ordinary conditions, or, If they
do, they cannot get down again."
"Wouldn't that keep the sea serpent
up If he once came up?"
Not necessarily. He may be con-
structed on a different plan I think
the sea serpent is a survival of the great
reptiles OF the Plcsiosaurus species. 1t
is quite possible that, though dweller
of the deep, he may be able TO come to
the surface of the sea and go down again

DYSPEPSIA PROOF.
O1e Ansriean Race That Knows NetAina
~ The Modavu Curxa

O1e Ansriean Race That Knows NetAing
Of the Modern Curse.
Much is said about American dys-
pepsia, but there is one native race Of
America that is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse. The
sturdy little Eskimos defy all the laws
Of hygiene and thrive. The Eskimo,
ike the ordinary dweller in America,
eats until he is satisfied, but there IS
this difference, that he is never salts
fed while a shred OF his feast remains
unconsumed. His capacity is limited
by the supply. and by that only.
He cannot make any mistake, says
the Youths Companion. about the
manner of cooking his focd-for rs a
rule he does not cook it-nor. so far as
the blubber or fat of the arctic animal
Is concerned, about his method of eat
ing it. for he simply does not eat it; he
cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick, and then lowers the
strips down his throat as one might
lower a rope into well.
And after all that he does not suffer
from indigestion. He can make good
meal of the flesh and skin of the wal
rus. provision so hard and gritty that
il cutting up the animal the knife must
be continually sharpened.
The teeth of the little Eskimo child viii
meet in bit of walrus skin as the teeth
OF an American child would meet In the
flesh of an apple. And that when the
hide. of the walrus is from half an inch
10 az inch and a half in thickness, ard
bears considerable resemblance 10 the
skin of an elephant. The Eskimo child
will bite it and digest it, too. and never
know what dyspepsia means.
