Pretty Summer Collars.

The popularity of the silk waists as well
the regular shirt waists has brought out
a vast array of neckware. There were never
so many pretty oddities and bewitchng
novelties for neck adornment as this sum-
mer. There are shaped collars Of thin Grim
oline, over which lace ties can be worn
and which keep their shape for quite a
time. Then there are the net and lace col
lars that are held in position by invisible
wires. These are shaped to be lower in
front than at the back, where they are
generally finished in round or sharp points.
Stock collars with bow to match are use
full articles Of neckwear, for they are so
easily adjusted.
The chiffon, crepe de chine or lace stock
collars that have the necktie in the shape
of a sailor knot can also be bought ready to
wear and finished SO there is no need of
tying a knot every time the collar is put
on. The lace jabots are also very pretty
and there is a wide selection of lace barbs.
The latter come in both cream and white
lace and are long enough to go around the
neck twice, with the ends crossing at the
back and tied in front in bowknot.

Novelties in Shirt Waists.

Never before have there been so many
and such attractive styles In shirt waists as
are evolved this season to please and clothe
the feminine world. The old monotony in
shirt waists has entirely disappeared, and
there is simply no limit to the variations
in design and decora alton. There is every
conceivable kind and condition, from a
simple cotton shirt to the most elegant
model in real lace. The list includes tailor
made styles for golf, yachting, beach or
mountain wear suite, with simply made
skirts of shepherds check, squadron serge
cheViOt, Scotch tweed etc.
Smarter models for afternoon uses are
of dimity. India silk. peau de sole, tucked
India null with wide revers and sailor col
lar formed by finer lingerie tucks and in
sertions of Swiss embroidery. Demi-dress
waists to wear with skirts of white cos
tune cloth, yelling, gray and beige mohair.
eolienne or drap de chine are made various
ly of plated taffeta, peau de sole, liberty
satin and foulard silk.
Lastly are the lovely creations for dress
uses which called shirt waists, but
which are the most charming things that
appear among the imported accessories Of
summer. Some of them cost as much as
complete costumes Lustrous satins amt
silks are used in their composition, with
lace bOlero fronts, silk embroideries lace
and ribbon insertions, crepe de chine or In
dia silk scarfs and draperies, to say moth
ing OF expensive buckles and buttons which
complete some of the smartest French
models.

Physicians often have to exercise great
care to avoid becoming the victims of impo-
sition. If a dishonest applicant for pen

| petrating fraud upon the government;
| and social parasites who seek to sponge on
! public and charitable institutions are al
ways trying to inveigle physician into
| saying the word writing the line which
| would gain them admission.
An interesting case in point was related
| by the leading oculist of Montreal, man
whose practice extended far outside Of the
bounds of that city. One day young wo-
man came into his office, accompanied by
an older woman. apparently the mother.
| The young woman wore colored glasses,
| which one might have assumed to be super
| nuous. as it was claimed that the girl was
totally blind What was wanted of the doc
| tor was a certificate authenticating this
claim of blindness. putting 1t beyond dis
pute; and il was frankly stated that the OBJ
| ject In seeking this was to obtain certain
aids and advantages of a philanthropic ma
ture, impossible of access otherwise. The
standing of the oculist was such that
| a statement from him would carry full
| weight wherever presented.
On examination the surface of the eyes
| gave no Indication of any defect: but that
| might be SO and blindness still exist. APP
plying tests of the strongest light the girl
| professed herself to be absolutely unable
| to distinguish between light and darkness
Other tests were resorted to, trying in their
nature. and some of them very painful; and
| these were all borne with patience and cour-
| age The doctor was puzzled and baffied.
| Apparently the girl stone blind, but he
was unable to solve the problem of those
eyes. to discover the cause of that blindness
| or say just where the defect lay.
The doctor was more than half disposed to
| grant the desired certificate when. a
| last eXpedient. he hit upon novel expert
| ment. He dismissed his patient. with in
structions that she should come again at a
| certain hour the following day. and this
| gave the oculist time to arrange for the
| carrying out of his plan. When the girl
| came the next day the doctor had her Sc
| curely blindfolded with a heavy bandage
| over her eyes. He then took a tiny mouse
| which he had procured, and held the lively
| little thing by its tail before the girls face,
| though not touching her while he ordered
| the bandage to be removed No sooner was
| the banGaSe off than her screams rang
| through the place, and her eyes were wide
| with terror at the harmless little rodent.
| which had thrown her so completely off her
| guard and exposed the imposture. OF
| course she saw it, she would not have
| screamed. Needless to say the applicant
| did not get that certificate.

Ties of All SOrta.

Crepe de chine and chiffon scarfs with
fringed ends are worn as twice around
ties They may be used without a separate
stock by having a wired collar Of firm
white net, unlined. This supports the tie
and prevents 1t from wrinkling Handsome
fastenings are used for these long scarfs
in many cases. and really good lace pins
of the old-fashioned kind have emerged tri-
umphantly from their long seclusion in the
jewel box. In simpler ties the butterfly bow
of tulle or mousseine, edged with narrow
lace or velvet ribbon, is popular. The bat
wing bow of silk is also liked There are.
too, stocks of tucked silk, the ends finished
with tassels, which are one of the newest
offerings in the department Of fashionable
neckwear.

til their converse stood as the epitome of
the wit and wisdom of that day. If the
room is too small to admit of a round table,
an oblong one, with rounded corners will
answer. A thick silence cloth of flannel or
canton flannel should cover the table under
the linen to deaden the sound well as
to protect the polished top from hot dishes.
The table linen should be as fine as the
purse allows. Poor. sleazy damask never

no longer used. A ten-cent vase, il prettily
shaped. with a single spray of blossoms, is
quite sufficient and artistic. The bunch of
wild flowers in the hut Of the poorest peas
ant may be quite as beautiful as the rarest
wealth.
On each side of the centerpieces at dinner
should be the low compoteres for the rel
fshes-salted almonds, radshes, olives or
minis. Salts and peppers may be individual
or one for every two or three. Knives and
spoons should be placed at the right and all
forks at the left, having the handles even
with the edge of the table, knives with the
sharp edge in and turks turned down.
Tumblers should be placed at the point of
the knife at the right; individual butter or
bread plates at the left.
Sometimes dessert silver is laid at the top
of the plate. but usually all silver at the
sides. The napkin is simply laid on the

from harper bazdE.
Bicycle costumes show a tendency to
rather picturesque effects, but the tendency
is one that, like that Of the low-cut gown,
requires to be carefully thought over before
following. A smart bicycle gown is made
of dark red linen, and, while effective, can
scarcely be termed suitable for the purpose
for which it was designed The jacket has
a new sleeve and a turned-back cuff, with
the under-sleeve Of muslin, the trimming of
the gown being bands of darker red, with
Misunderstanding. The quite high and far
ing collar opens over a waistcoat of fine
white tucked muslin. Not so picturesque,
but on many accounts smarter is a gown
Of beige linen, whose four narrow box
pleats in the back are stitched down to give
the effect almost Of habit skirt With this
is a short jacket in Elton shape but made
without a high collar, and fastened with
four smoke pearl buttons. A yoke, or,
rather, bloused front, is of tucked white
muslin, and there is no trimming on the
gown, except the rows of machine stitching
which are always necessary in every we'll
appointed bicycle or golf suit.

Light curtains should protect the win
