A Pretty Idea in Neckwear.

There's a new idea cropping up in faI
neckwear. 1t is decidedly pretty, too.
Instead of a turnover collar, there is
a turnup collar. But, to be more eX-
plicit there is the foundation stock of
taffeta, or whatever it may be, as usual.
But the little turnover at the top is miss
ing.
There may be line of fine embroidery
here. or bit of trimming, if desired,
though frequently the top is perfectly
plain. But at the bottom is our old-Jimc
favorite. the turnover, this time turned
up. There is the same dainty edge, the
same little embroidered corners. Some
times it reaches nearly to the top of the
choker. sometimes only half way. The
two points in front, instead of being
brought together. are left a little dis
lance apart and laced. the lacers ending
with two tiny tassels. Instead of
the lacing, sometimes a tiny bow of the
material connects the I'VE. The result IS
an exceedingly dainty dressy bit of neck
wear, with a note of newness about it
that is fascinating
These little stocks are in black and
white, lavender, pink, blue and ali the
popular colors on either black or white
foundation. the color being employed on
the edge and embroidered corners of the
little turnup collar at the bottom, and IN
the line of color at the top If this is
added. Sometimes the stock above the
turnup collar IS laid in soft folds.

To Clean Furc.

To clean furs there are two ways rec-
commended. One is by rubbing into the
first wet in benzine or gasoline: the other
is by rubbing with hot sand. Either will
accomplish the result Furriers use
what is called "yeneering sawdust" 1t
is produced by cutting across the grain,
and is somewhat sand-like in texture. Ii
will not stick to the fur like ordinary
sawdust. 1t can be procured at hard
wood lumber mills or from furriers.
When sand is used it is the clean vel
low kind, free from dust. 1t should be
heated in an oven to a temperature that
can be borne by the hand; greater heat
might inJure the fur. After cleaning the
furs should be beaten with Il rattan beat

There is story told Of Bjornson

expectant people no finer words Of wis

In vain they appealed TO him for "son2

he, gave the same advice under c0ndi-

Three years later on visiting the town

found a deserted city. Not light burned

HUGE GLACIAL SLIDE.

Laid Waste by Movement of Ice.


\ report Of one of the greatest and
