NECKWEAR FOR
WINTER DAYS.
Neat, Snowy Neck Ornaments to

TO COVER DRESS FRONT.
HINTS ON MAKING THEM AT HOME.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-There is moth
fng quite as hard to make at home as the
neck ornament.
There is something peculiar about
trimmings for the neck. They are so hard
to make unless one has a knack for that
sort of thing.
One of the leading modistes of New
York is authority for the statement that
any woman can make any garment she
wears if she allows herself the necessary
material. The trouble is that she tries to
make up her neck trimmings and other
articles out of odds and ends; and the re-
suit is poor
1t is well when making fichu, a col
larette or cravat, whatever you NAV
call it, to buy one in the shops first Then
II you so desire you can obtain the cor
rect pattern, and the result will be very
% satisfactory or much more so than
though you had gone to work without a
pattern.
Many of the most beautiful pieces Of
neckwear of spring are made of three or
four materials and are also of three or
four colors.
While nothing looks so pretty next the
face as white, still there are the delicate
tints that are not to Cbe despised. This is
particularly true of rose, which is becom-
ing to nearly every face by gas light
VERY ECONOMICAL
AS a matter of economy these neck
pieces cannot be valued too highly, for
they cover up and protect an old dress
and keep it from going to pieces altogeth-

er. With good set of collarettes wom-
an can prolong the life of her old winter
dresses until Easter
Thick materials are never pretty for
the neck. Even ribbon has its objection
unless worn with a white collar showing
above. The stocks are pretty because
they are finished with the stiff linen col
lar, which is becoming if worn with a
tailor-made dress. There are those who
claim that the linen collar is too harsh a
frame for Woman'S face but it must be
ADMITTED that nothing gives quite so neat
a finish.
Plaids are to be worn this spring made
up INTO stocks and all the new silks will be
treated in this way Stripes and checks
are SO very becoming that woman does
not easily give them up, and they are to
Ne Impressed into neck service for spring.
New FORK women have a fancy for
wearing neckwear in great variety They
40 not confine themselves to one style. In
the morning it is cravat with long ends,
and in the evening big embroidered bow
tied under the chin
Every kind of thin gauzy material is
USED, sometimes combined with ribbon
ana again just wide satin ribbon is used.
Pale blue, net turquoise but lust the
delicate baby blue" is liked best. 1t is
dressy and not so conspicuous as the gera-
mum pink and carna ton or automobile
red, The latter is a new shade" and is
combined with ruchings of black or white
chiffon with jet embroidery on the long
end.
ALL KINDS OF MATERIALS.
\ Very often the satin ribbons are tied
around linen collar with the little turn
ed-oVer edges. One of these was worn
last week by a woman dressed in velvet,
but the effect was chic instead of being
out of place.
Her cravat was of light blue satin rib
bon, tied so that the loops were only three
inches wide, but the longer ends were
made to-appear longer by a very full ruffie
of deep Mech.in lace which fell waist
length over the black velvet Jacket
Plaided taffeta ribbon is edged with mar
row black lace or chiffon. The ribbon is
three inches wide. This simply contrived
affair is quite stunning.
For the house many little cravats of
chiffon, tulle or net are most useful in
freshening up the winter gowns. A very
odd one was rather like a Iour-in-land OF
creped mousseline The stock was of tiny
puTfS Of the mouSSeline, and through the
knot at the throat was caught a wide
faring bow of the same material. Very
unusual was a stock of violet velvet cut
high up around the ears and edged with
white chiffon ruchings, caught by circu-
lar buckle of brilliants. In front was a
large soft bow of white chiffon.
For a dinner or theatre waist, which
has been worn several times, nothing is
more effective than a bow and blouse of
white tulle with black chantil,y lace ap-
pEqued. A clever girl can easily copy this
design or introduce any fine lace beading
in LATTICE design or bayadere stripes. Boas
are quite passe now and the short-looped
long-ended cravat is fashions favorite

BOTTLES OF POISON.
They Were Worn as Jewels by the
Beauties of Ancient Phocnicin
and Greece.

Modern jewellers have been accus-
toned to rely to a large extent upon
the ideas of ancient artificers for the
designs of to-day. Indeed, many of the
most popular designs in jewelry to-day
are derived from very remote antiqui-
ty, as, for example, the bracelet made
in the shape of a coiled serpent. At
the Metropolitan museum of art in New
York city there is a great collection of
ancient jewelry, much of it in gold rich
ly adorned with precious stones. Jewel
ers in the metropolis frequently visit
the museum for the purpose of obtain
ing suggestions. This collection at the
Metropolitan museum is in fact the
finest assemblage of antique objects of
personal ornaments in existence. Some
of them date as far back as 900 b. c.
Those of them which are made of silver
have been practically destroyed by oXi-
dation, but the gold ones being cleaned
are as bright and ncw-looking as they
were $500 or 5000 years ago. The
jewelry from Cyprus is the work of an
cient Phoenicians and Greeks. One
thing very noticeable is the frequency
of tiny gold bottles attached to objects
of jewelry derived from those ancient
times. All evidence points to the con-
clusion that they were employed to hold
poison; for in those days life was by
no means secure, and at any time an
emergency might arise where a man or
woman would be glad to end existence
promptly, to escape lifelong imprison-
ment or indescribable torture by the
horrible means used by the ancients.-

MONEY WELL SPENT.
Every Cent Paid for the Improvement
of Roads Is Sure to Pay
LnrGe Dividend.

The construction of good roads has
received wide attention in this country,
but as yet no practical system has been
devised by which any considerable
portion of our roads can be improved.
The construction Of good roads on any
except gravel soil is a costly business,
so expensive that the farmers simply
cannot bear the burden. 1t would
amount to confiscation of the farms if
the burden were placed upon them, for
on black prairie soil, for instance, there
must be deep, solid foundation laid
Gravel on such a soil will not stand. 1t
will go down out of sight during the
spring thaws. Where such roads exist
wide tires would go long ways toward
preserving them, but it would be a long
time before everybody adopted wide
tires. But bad roads are very expensive.
The wear and tear of wagons, harness
and horses which they entail amountto
many millions of dollars in a year, and
the farmer is shut out of the market
and from all social intercourse with
neighbors frequently for long periods.
All this is loss and a serious one, so
serious that in many sections where
the conditions are all together favor
able to ad improvements there
should no negligence in this matter.
No one should object to the small out
lay necessary to make good service

needed. Every road should be made as
good as it is possible to make it at raa-
sonable expense, for money thus ex-

UPSET THE PRESIDENT.
How Van Buren, Was Convinced That
Better Roads Were Needed
in the West.

Dumping a man in mud puddle is
rather a drastic way of changing his
convictions, yet such was the means by
which President Van Buren, became a
convert to a good-roads movement
started in Indiana away back in the
thirties. There had been considerable
protest against the condition of the
western highways, but Van Buren was
opposed to what he looked upon as a
needless expenditure of money in times
of financial stress. Finally he de-
cidcd to make an investigation for him
self, and planned a trip from Washing
ton to st. Louis. The stage coach run
between Indianapolis and Terre Haute
was under the charge of Il whig named

Smooth Regular Surfnce.

The peculiar fGsturc of a road
grader is that it cuts away the dirt at
the side of the road, and draws it up
into the middle, thus producing a ditch
at each side and a slope in each direc-
ton from the center. At the same time
it will cut away the dirt to just the
proper depth and no deeper. In this
particular, its work differs from that
accomplished by the use of plows. shov-
els or hand scrapers. The road grader
leaves smooth, regular surface, civ
ing the road the proper contour. A dirt
or gravel road can be put into excel
lent shape by running the grader re-
peatedly over it. Care should be taken
first to remove the brush and rubbish
from the side of the road, that the
grader may not carry it into the trav.
slcd roadway.

Cracks in the Flooring,

To stop the cracks in the flooring the
following plan is recommended: Gather
up all the letters from the waste-paper
basket until there is a big bag full
enough to stuff a couple of soft cush-
ions. Set the idle or the willing men,
bers of the family to shred into bits the
paper harvest. This accomplished, pile
the tatters into a pot with water and
Sook 1T. 10 every quart of paper and
water add handful of gum arabic and
let the whole simmer to an intensely
thick cream. The sequence is easily
guessed. The mixture must be put
hot in the cracks, well packed and neat
ly smoothed down. When cold it is
ready for coat of floor paint, and as
hard as the rest of the boards. for if
is really nothing more nor less than
papier mache, and everyone knows
what tough article that is.

Dewey nOuRht q Ticket.

When Commodore Dewey left Washing
ton in November, 1897, to take command of
the fleet in the Pacific Ocean, he did not ride
on pass or a halfrate ticket. Being per-
sonal friend of S. b. Hege, General Agent of
the Baltimore & Ohio passenger department
in Washington, the now famous sea fighter
bought two first-cIass tickets from Washing
ton to San Francisco via the b. & O., Chi
cago q North-Western, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific lines. Lieut.. Brumby ac-
companied the admiral and they departed
on November 9th.
Some time ago Manager of Passenger
Traffic ID. Il. Martin, of the Baltimore
Il Ohio Railroad, set out to collect the
coupons of the ticket and only recently
secured all Of them. He has had the ticket,
containing Dewey's signature, autographed,
and IS issuing fac.slmlIes as souvenLrs.

Hale, who was determined to give the
president a practical demonstration of
the necessity of additional improve
ments over his part of the road, at
least. He entered into a contract with
his driver, Mason Wright, the latter
agreeing, in consideration of a five-dol-
lar hat and relief from all damage that
might accrue, to dump the president in
one of the deepest mud holes along the
line.
The plot was carried out in all its
details, and the presidential party up
set under an elm tree near Plainticld
Ind. The president landed on all fours
if such a description is possible-and,
as a dutiful lieutenant, the secretary
of state followed his lead and wallowed
in the mud and water. Wright caught
the stage and did not get very deep in
the mud. President Van Buren and his
secretary flonudered around until they
found a root of the old elm, and, stand
ing in the mud almost up to their
waists, they waited until the crowd
pulled them out.
The historic old elm stands as state
ly and as full of life now as on the day
when the roots gave the president of
the nation plunge. But the road that
passes along beside it is no longer a
mire of mud. The highway passed un-
der the state and private tollgate
