 This is certainly a step in the right di- rection. It is so common to hear people say, "Oh, Dorothy has really not the slightest ear for music, and have stop ped her lessons" or, My little daughter hasn't a bit of the bookworm in her. There is really no use of making her read"
 The wise modern mother to thorough ly educate her daughter spares nothing to awaken in her the appreciation of what is most latent in her nature. She is bound to work out her natural bent her self. If she is naturally bookworm her course in "sports' is severe and system attic. If she has no ear for music, she is at least thoroughly grounded in the meaning of music hears all there is. and does not herself leave the piano until she has at least some realization of the works of the masters and their methods. Her study of the arts of painting and sculp- turing is equally thorough, as far as a knowledge of the principal schools and of the best work goes e It is not what they can accomplish in the way of picture making, musical performance or golf drives-they all may be markedly medio- ere even inferior.

it's emancipated form we cannot fail to speak, for has it not passed from a whim to a feature In our wardrobe?
 Of what should we speak now but of the necktie proper and mannish. that tri- fie taken from the masculine wardrobe and worn with such smartness upon our tailor-made costumes and neat summer skirts? This is perhaps the tie we have loved best of all, and 1t may be said with truth to possess the virtues of adapta bili- ty and complete neatness.
 Of the wearing of this necktie and all others favored by fashion today, much might be said. To the woman who looks well in the severe gown of tailor make the mannish tie is a natural and fitting accompaniment to her costume, and it is probably she upon whom the band and bow would appear out of place. The short-necked woman whose proportions are generous should rigidly eschew the modern necktie of swathed silk with outstanding and exaggerated ends, and with such details borne In mind the neck tie of the present should be a fair suc- cess.

UP-1O-DATE FASHIONS.

Whether you are as lean as Sarah Bernhardt used to be, or as plump as Mime. Materna is now, don't let any corsetiere pretend these two virtues are not compatible with your size, since they are resources at her command. Right in- side the corset she can build up or take from the figure with wonderful effect. If nature has been chary of her rounded gifts let her duplicate them for you by fitting on a padded corset.
 "The o1d-fashioned prejudices against pads has lately all but disappeared, can assure you" hustled on the little dealer in handmade stays, because nearly all women use some padding now and be- cause of the beautiful French stuffing imported for the purpose. Every corse- tiere is ready to Vouch that only one figure in the dozen is without what we can call holes and Jumps, though the possessors thereof may be as plump as cartridges. Down about the hips, along the shoulder-blades, and under the arms, too, many persons are badly filled out or roughly scooped, and all these short comfngs the corset maker remedies with clever little French pads. They are made of the finest, lightest curled hair much of it human, stitched into linen covers and all ready to be incorporated into the corset. Tn Paris they manufac- ture and send over thousands of them in all shapes and sizes, following with ab- Solute perfection the whole anatomy of the body from hips to shoulder blades. For very thin woman we can wad in the hips and bust, making them appear as dellcately curved softly rounded, as if nature had done it herself and defy an artist to tell where the simulated flesh was laid on
 "Oh dear no, madame; we never use cotton and any woman who tries to pro- mote her own figure by stuffing in layers of batting, or allows her dressmaker to sew such materials in her gowns, can only expect to promptly lose the charms and fullness she possesses with amazing celerity. Long experiment in amateur and professional padding has proved that cotton and flannel wads oVerheat the flesh next to which they lie, and actually melt away as fire does wax from dolls face"

In this and slightly differing forms the necktie enjoyed a lengthy popularity of perhaps five seasons, when, still existing, 1t al- tered in character growing daintier and more fragile in appearance, and fash toned of such fabrics as fine muslins and laces put together with skillful fingegs, and like this it was worn more as an ad- dition to our outdoor attire than before
 Yet, still was it unbeautlful to the eye
 for its wear bestowed a neatness to which dowdiness was twin sister.
 Yet did the muslin tie become a craze
 as beloved as the glorious collar of to-
 day, worn by all while it was, too, one
 of the continual joys of the home dress making maiden. But then, as with every
 whim came the season of surfeit. Fash
 ion placed the necktie in the category of
 the past for the time being, and the plain
 high neck band and linen collar reigned
 supreme. but only for a short time, and
 very soon we welcomed the scarf, fash
 toned not of silk or muslin, but in the
 airiest of fabrics.
 This was the black or white lace tie,
 reminiscent of the mantila of Spain though never, alas! to be donned with such success; not by any means d trifilng item either, but an article of length and width which we are bound to admit pos | sessed certain charms of grace and be- comingness and we admired it. as we could still, if worn with discretion.

SOME COLLARETTE WH|MS Is M any Changes in the Last
 Few Years. A PEEP AT THE OLD STYLES The Generously Proportioned Woman Should Avoid the Exaggerated Silk Affairs
 of the Present.

New York, March 19.-The collarette, scarf or neckt4e is one of the minor whims, but we may treat it as one which possesses considerable importance and is capable of much comment thereon. The necktie or scarf should be dainty trifie to discuss, although, to speak in very truth, 1t has never attained throughout it's various phases that degree of perfec- ton which should characterize every ar ticle of raiment worn by lovely women.
 Looking al this wbim as carefully Cs we may, it must be considered a distinct ly modern, or perhaps we should say fin de siecle, creation Prior to that era the rufIie, the collar and the jabot had taken positions of grace and beauty in fash ions book, but of the bona fide neclktie, the thing of loops and ends, We seem to hear small mention as whim until the crnoline had died and the chignon craze was strongly upon us
 The necktie or scarf is. or was, a whim which seldom emerged from the common- place. although curiously it possessed but few attributes of usefulness; it was a su- perf1uity without beauty, and we can only think of it as a creation evolved from that age of ultra primness when fashion, true to her name, longed for frippery, but, weighted with the stiff pro- priety of the time, could not help design

1 .WfAHr SHE BUYS

The sHpshod housekeeper is the exact opposite of the fussy one She is def- cient in what, for lack of a better name we may call mental glue" and has ab- solutely no method; everything is done at random, and the whole establishment, literally and figuratively, tumbles to pieces in all directions To use her own expression, she has mo head" and con tinually forgets things, or remembers them too late to be of any use. The ser wants do pretty much as they please in this sort of house, and partake of the general slipshoddedness, both in man. ners and appearance. This state of things is to be found in all grades of society, from the highest to the lowest.
 There is the would-be smart woman, who tries to keep up a big establishment and makes an imposing appearance on a limited income; and there Is the woman who makes no pretenslons of any sort, but pleads a large family and small ex- chequer as an excuse for her slipshod household. In the first case the smart housewife CD spends all her money, or, at any rate, far too large a share of 1t. on dress and pleasure. She lives beyond her means; waste and extravaganza are the order of the day; debt and disaster too often the result. Bills she looks upon as so much waste paper, to be thrown away with absolute disdain, unless she is absolutely dunned for the money and things become disagreeable in conse- quenee; then she begins to borrow. takes to secretly pawning any valuable jewels or plate; perhaps, even worse, she is tempted to bet or gamble--do anything in fact to get out of her difficulties-all the time only getting deeper into the mlre.
 Once this kind of thing begins, it is im- possible to say where it will end. If she has any children, woe betide them. for their mother takes but little or no heed or them; babies are bore and the purse-

 Then of latest date and worn with the last named scarf we have the necktie in many and becoming forms in satin, silk and velvet of every shade and hue, ,swath- ed, ruched and folded, tied at the side, the front, the back and above all, as the ribbon band and inevitable bow worn, too, from the society queen to the serving maid, and still not coHlemned to obscurity, but possessing, when put on properly, certain Individuality and fem mine grace.

ing even the arest whim with mathe- nautical precision and stiffness. and the necktie, cumbersome ugly and inartistic, was typical product of her prudish phase.
 We may call to mind the necktie and scarf in it's early stages very accurately by perusal of the family album, which will undoubtedly contain the faded DOT trait of more than one slmpering femi- nine relative, attired in the garments we loved twenty years ago, and, while smil- ing at the modes which hold no charm for us now, we invariably notice the promi-

WHEN JEWELRY MAY BE WORN. Contents of Ones Jewel Casket May. Not
 Always Be Disnlaved --~s

In the morning the less jewelry a woman wears the better watch, with the pin or chain which holds 1t, brooch or stickpin to fasten her collar. cuff links if she wears cuffs, the one or two finger rings which she always wears and belt buckle are all that good taste allows in the morning. The rule also holds good for the street or office. In the afternoon, at tea or reception, very little more jewelry is permitted. A gold or Jewelled comb for the hair may be added
 It is in the evening that woman may blaze with jewelry If she will. It may be remarked, however, that the really well-bred woman seldom does She may wear necklaces of as many ropes of pearls or other gems as she can afford. She may wear tiaras and crclets and combs in her hair She may wear finger rings half way to the first nuckle of her. finger She may wear pins. and clasps to hold her ribbons and laces in place. But even then she may not wear earrings.
