classic cast of conference.-the is almost
too beautiful for a Frenchwoman-looks es-
pecially we'll in the fiat crowned toque and
goes in for pronounced adaptations of it.
The last time | saw her she wearing a,
boat-shaped hat of straw, the turned-up
rim of which was trimmed with a full rib
bon ruching, while a wealth of the most
delicate chantilly draped the crown and
hung over the side.
High Collars Doomed.
I am happy to learn that the high stiff
collars have had their day. They were
that they were adopted by the most beau
tiful woman in England, and a royal prin-
cess at that, would have ever made them
the fashion. Just as pretty effects can be
achieved with the soft, unstiffened materi-
ais, and the result of wearing of stocks is
that not one woman in a hundred has a
presentable neck. In spite of cold creams
and ma asseurs, they are scraWny and wrin-
kled and yellow q ducks foot What can
women expect if they will compress their
thrOats until the blood will no longer cir
culate?
To wear over the bodice collar of lace or
embroidered stuff made with a cut out yoke
is one of the latest ideas in dress embeI-
lishment. By the use of the collar which
hangs we'll down in front, an old blouse
may be thus made to look fresh and hand
some. The lace goes on over the head and
arms and hangs down in straight fiounce
over the bust and shoulders, half covering
the blouse.
Collars of the latest fashion are soft in
outline and in material. Chiffons and laces
and delicately colored ribbons make the

most a Devonshre. The brim is faced with
black shirred chiffon and banded near the
outer edge with fold of blue panne satin.
Upon the crown and outer brim very full
wreath of white roses makes all the dec
oration. With this is worn a carriage cape
of blue gaze de sole, mounted in many
black velvet strapped puffings on a lining
of changeable white taffeta. Over the
shoulders fits a shaped collar of heavy
cream silk lace. shot with blue and silver
threads, and from this collar rises the
white tulle neck ruff. OStenSibly serving
as sash ends. wherewith to draw the top
edges of the cape together, but in reality
officiating as ornamental draperieS, appear
the two frlnged scarfS of blue. At inter
knots are fastened with jewcled circlets,
and the fringss at the end are of gilt
beads and crystal pendants.
Brilliant BoIeros
The bargain counters. that are offering
such tempting opportunities in lace boleros,
signify that a place is being made for the
Jackets of steel, gold, silver or colored
beads, and for even more unique specimens
made of finely woven gilt, silver or gun
metal mesh. Brunhildas are the names
these go by, for the mesh of the metal gar
ment is very like that of the silver side
bags that have for six months been so ex-
travagantly popular.
Some Country Clothes.
From all these glories of gilt and silver It
is a pleasure to turn to the simple little
country gowns of wash goods that never
linger long on the hands of their manu-
facturers. Mohair and linens are in their
new and beautiful colors, but most par
ticularly in blue or string gray, leading all
the rest. For slim young girls they have
revived that admirable sun-pleated skirt
pattern which should never have been
dropped. group of mohairs and linens,
as suitable for all ages ranging from nine
to eighteen, is Sketched to show the archi-
lecture of some of these smart suits. String
gray linens are, as rule. decorated with
straps, revers, etc, of shiny black linen,
and the small linen coats, when opened
reveal small, low-cut waistcoatS Of white
drill literally peppered with small black
French knots. A full-folded black satin
Ascot tie chimes in well with this Whistler
arrangement in light values.
A mohair takes kindly to almost any de-
sign and any associate material. The two
short petticoated girls i'm the outdoor group
prove this. One of them wears a handsome

Chi1dren's Friendships.

From about the fifth or sixth year chill
dren are apt to make firm friendships with
their small contemporaries This should
be watchful period for mothers, for these
early friendships have a marked influence
on the mind, morals and manners of a
child.
Nearly every character, is nodded very
largely by early companionshfp and sur
roundings. Every mother should take care
to be her children's companion as far as
possible, for she may be iduitess sure that if
they are left to the care of servants they
will at the best only attain the ideal man
ners and customs of the nursery or SER
wants hall, which are not quite those Of
the cultured classes Children require the
eompanionship Of little folks Of their own
age, and mother should be so much her
children's friend that she knows all their
associates and is able to nip in the bud any
acquaintnce which she thinks undesir-
able. The mother who, to save herself fa-
tfgue' let's her children seek companions
among their schoolmates and neighbors
without troubling herself to find out wheth-
er their influence is likely to be good has
only herself to blame if the manners and
morals of her offspring are corrupted.

With many such testimonials as

Flat Hats Stylish.

The majority of the spring and summer
models in millinery are of the fiat order.
Crowns may be irregular, but as they are
usually draped it is often only matter of
conjecture what their shape may be. Turn
ed back brims are not to be had in the new
shapes. An uptilted effect at the left is al
lowable if filed in with flowers, tulle or
some other soft material The most bizarre
effects are seen in bright red and green
straWs. Some of the finer braids glitter
with tnsel while novelty is achieved by
the use of appliques of stiffened lace Lace
straw alternating with braid is one of the
prettiest of the new patterns in hat founda-
tiOus. TurbanS and toqueS, so becoming to
the average woman of middle age. are both
varied and elegant in shape and material.

smart, and 10 women prcmaturely gray is
one of the most striking colo- effects
which can be thought Of. There are diff

The smart color combinations are bluH and
Ioauve and almond green and blue, the
blue a tint 50 pale as to be scarcely dis
tinEuishable from white. In millinery and
summery gowns citron and white is
promised color study. We are to have
straw berry tints ranging from very faint
pink TO deep red. few pastel cOlors
still linger. and coral, with its pale, rich
flush. will be worn by the few who are
fond of unique effects.

they are far from picturesque. 1t looks as
though the divided skirt would hold the
championship. Boleros and Etons are cor
rect for jackets, and wood color, maStic,
ash, pale gray and tobacco are the popular
shades. Cloths that will withstand the
dust and the bleaching effects of the sun
are preferred and of these Whpcord, home
spun and cheViot are most noticeable. For
the blouse touch of color is allowable,
but for the neck a black silk tie in a but
terfy bow or sailor and a scarfpin of dead
gold and sleeve links to match are the
only permissible ornaments. Grdes of
silk. caught with q buckle of oXidiZed or
Furnished silver or dead gold, are a trif1e
wider than last season. The cOrselet skirt,
with q chic, very short bolero, forms a
very smart costume, but only women Of
faulrleSS figure can afford to try it.
Pretty cravats are always useful. A
blouse that needs a bit of smartening may
with the addition of a modish bow and
collar claim a new lease of life. EN-
broidered neck bands and cravats are to be
Worn. and the best of these are hand en-
broidered. Floral designs in some of the
