Discarded Neckwear is not Utilized
in the Making of Crazy Quilts.
What becomes of the old neckties?
Many thousands of them are discard
ed by the wearers as soon as they be
gin to show the effects of wear Men
living in hotels give these half worn
articles to bellboys or elevator attend
ants and perhaps think they wear
them or take them home to fathers
and brothers or send them to aunts
in the country who are making crazy
quilts. They know where there is an
old man and his wife who buys Old
neckties at a price that gives the
hotel boys far more money than they
need to spend. The old folks clean
and renovate the ties and sell them in
some stores for new. The old ties are
ripped apart, steamed, scrubbed and
put together again. When they are
pressed or altered in shape they look
like new.

sells for so or even rs cents. The

bad profit. This fact was found out
from a bellboy one day to explain how
it was that he had sS5 in his tele-
scope trunk when he had been in the
hotel only three months, was a waif
when he was employed and had paid
out more than half of his wages for
his uniform. Ther had been a theft
in the hotel and his room was
searched. One of the porters was
sent to verify his necktie story and
found II all right.

About Shoes.

Tan shoes will be much more pop
uIar this season than they have been
in several years past. One tan model
is more remarkable for smartness than
for sense. II is a high boot with
high arched instep and a high Cuban
heel. tapering to a small base. A low
tan shoe has three straps over the
instep, fastened with small brass
buckles. others have bows of brown
ribbon in front. For the black and
white costumes there are low shoes Of
patent leather, trimmed with white
leather, and white shoes, trimmed with
black.
