For n white Neck.

Since the curl that rests on the shout
der is a feature Of the newest couture,
It Is important that the neck should re-
celve the most conscientious care. The
girl who is preparing for her summer
social campaign will pin her faith to
the lemon and rub fresh Juice on her
neck night and morning after she has
had a thorough massage. The lemon,
however, is a mild remedy that works
slowly. and In many cases a severe
bleach will be necessary. A formula
that can be depended on to accomplish
wonders Is: Blchlorlde Of mercury, II
grains; distilled witch hazel. two
ounces; rosewater, two ounces This
should be applied with a small sponge
two or three times a day. As It is poi
son, precautions should be taken not
to leave it around where it may be mis-
taken for an after dinner tonic. A
saturated solution Of epson salts will
be found to be a first class article. 1t
should be applied with a sponge and
allowed t dry. after which the neck
should be polished with a piece Of
channels skin. When powder is used,
cold cream should be massaged into the
skin, and when time has been given to
allow as much of It as possible to alb
sorb the neck should be wiped with O
soft towel. Then the powder should
be busted on and carefully rubbed in.

New idea In DInner GIvInr,

Like the Athenlans. the fashionable
Parislans seem to live but TO exploit
new things. One Of the most up to date
Ideas In dinner giving Is to Seat the
guests at separate tables according to
the colors Of the gowns. At a recent
dinner Of that sort there were Eve
tables decorated respectively In mauve
and yellow orchids, pink and red roses
aud white marguerltes. The electric
lights that took the place Of candles
were shaded to harmonlze with the
flowers. The guests had evidently been
posted In advance, for the five tables
were about evenly balanced as to num-
beers. The gentlemen were assigned
places according TO their boutonnieres.

Not So G%uIIeless.

The London flower girl Is not so
guileless as some writers Of idealistic
fiction would indicate. One Of them
rang the bell OF a Kenslngton house
some time ago. Immediately after a
young lady had driven away In a car
riage. Giving the servant who answer
ed the bell an accurate description Of
the carriage and its occupant, she In
formed the maid that the lady had
purchased half a crowns worth Of
flowers and. having no change, had
sent TO the house for 1t. But the serv-
ant maid and the lady Of the house
whose daughter had driven away in the
carriage fell into the trap, and the
flowers that were never bought or sold
were paid for.
