A linen collar which has attained
popularity in Paris is a stiff clerical
band, fastening with two studs at the
back. The scarf is tied about the base
of the collar
The tie which is, as a rule, worn with
the stiff linen collar is the long scarf
of soft silk crepe or the new linen
gauze. individuality is the cry of the
season The stiff linen collar itself is
rather against it, but the soft scarf
tie without detracting an iota of trim
ness still admits originality in knot or
bow. A woman may tie her scarf as
she pleases provided only the general
effect is chic.
Long scarfs are the prevailing neck
ties. There are, indeed, com para lively
few stiff mannish ties to wear with
linen collars. Even ascots are softly
crossed or the ends merely Topped over
each other. The Windsor tie, with it's
loose free bow or sailor knot, is a.
favorite.
Ribbon is much used for neck scarfs.
The louisine, taffeta, liberty and surah,
varieties lend themselves admirably to
the purpose. 1T is not only the texture
that recommends them, but also the
becoming colors and sheen.

RUINED HIS REPUTATION.
How an African Fetish Man Ousted
an English Doctor Who Had
Supp1anted Him.

A hunter and explorer who has So
iourned for years among the African
natives tells the following amusing
story, says Cassell's Journal.
Zone day an English doctor, young
fellow of rowing disposition like my
self, appeared in the native village,
where he stayed as my guest for some
months. His medical skill soon gained
him great reputation as a medicine
man, and the native fetish man soon
found his occupation gone and hia
own healing powers utterly discredit-
ed, for his patients all focked to the
white doctor.
Zone day the fetish man was found
in trance, but everybody, myself and
the white doctor included, believed
him dead. The natives proceeded to
bury him. when he suddenly came to
himself and naturally vigorously re-
sisted burial. But his frantic asser.
ton that he was not dead was en-
phatically negatived by his would
be undertakers.
"'You dead, sure 'nuff!' they insist
ed. White doctor say so. White doc
tor know best. You know nothing
'And they would actually have bur-
led the unfortunate wretch alive had
not the white doctor got wind of the
proceedings and come running up. OF
course he at once Endorsed the fetish
mans frantic statement that the lat
ter was alive, but by doing so he
ruined his own reputation in the ma
tives' eyes, for they thereafter looked
upon him. as blunderer and an ig-
GRANT imposter, while the fetish man
was raised to high honor as mighty
magician who could die and come
alive again whenever he pleased"
