unity of Clean Collars.

Men often assert that the average
man is heater In his everyday appear
ance than the average White
linen collars and cuffs have procured
this reputation for man. Take a man
with q shabby, hand-me-down suit OF
clothes on his back, and let him put
on n spotless shirt, cuffs and collar. and
he looks spick and span. Put ever SO
cheap a ready-made dress on u woman,
with n white linen collar. white wash
tie, and snowy cuffs, and she'll look
just as neat as her brother. There's
one weakness that nine out of ten wo-
men have. though. when It comes TO
cuffs and collars. They will think that
a collar will do to wear one more time,
when a man would toss 1t into his laun-
dry bag. Nothing gives one so untidy
an appearance as soiled linen, and there
is no excuse for women ~economizinS In

used for this purpose, and universally
becoming and inexpensive. A fine

hanging in pretty soft folds. II Is
made double width, costing from $3.50
to $3.50 a yard. For a simple home
wedding, organizes made over surah

affectation to hold the hands in such a
position, yet this exercise, to make the
pose natural, should be practiced,"
writes Katharine Eggleston Junker-
mann In the course Of an article on
Physical Culture for Girls" in the
Woman's Home Companion, which
discusses how to secure pretty hands
and to retain n natural grace of mo-
ton. Some n has said somewhere
that the number OF cultured genera
tons back Of an individual may be
judged by the degree of curve In the
little finger. Observation will prove
this more or less true. When one
sees a person holding a glass or cup
with the little finger thrust u and
curved until II resembles a hook, a
little investigation will almost invarl-
ably show that the desire for culture
has only just awakened in that partic-
ular family, and in its newness Is
somewhat overstepping the mark. Az
fectation Is a sign of lack OF breeding.
Some Of the old painters understood
hands to perfection. Long, rounded
hands, with slightly curved fingers and
gently bent wrists. are characteristic
Of the women whose beauty they have
made memorable. Sometimes, per-
haps, the beautiful hands were those
OF some other model than the pictured
one; but the painters knew that beau
tiful hands were as necessary as beau
tiful faces In order to make a harmo-
NOUS picture. The people OF almost
every other nation have more graceful
hands than we have; and those who
use their hands most freely when con-
versing are by far the most graceful.
The hands which make no superfuous
movements. which appear to obey read
lily and easily their owners will. whose
movements are free, rhythmic and gen.
