Long neckties made Of tulle. Brussels net,

frills on the end. are being moro and moro worn.
They are not only becoming but keep the neck In
good condition. And another thing, anything

In a talk to the vassar alumne at their an
nual reunion last Saturday Prof. Morse
Stephens of Cornell laid great stress on the COS
pel of obedience as preached by Kipling. Kip

windows. They have been properly taught. by
precept and example, to be considerate of the
rights of others. aud. being properly taught,
obedience follows as amatter OF course"
