To Dress A short Neck.

In dressing a short neck the first
point to bear in mind is, that it is quite
useless TO try and endure stiff collars; they
only make the wearer miserable, accen-
tuate the natural defect and force a dou-
BILE chin, which in itself is far from desir-
able. Be sensible and make the best of the
situation by artistically dressing the neck
To know the limitations of a collar and to
keep all neckwear comfortable, try on col
lars of different heights and shapes over
the neckband OF a wel-fitting shirtwaist
and use the one which seems most comfort
able as a guide for future wear. Make a
careful note of the exact height in front and
in back, also its length around and insist
that your dressmaker conform strictly to
the measurements you give her, when max
ing similar collars. A difference in cut will
make a vast difference in comfort and style
then, of course. measurements change. For
example, the ordinary standing collar cut
on rather straight lines is not for the short
neck. unless cut quite low, when il loses all
style. On the other hand, the standing
collar which is quite deeply curved directly
in front il most agreeable, giving perfect
freedom under the chin. Soft folds, fagot-
ing lace, etc, daintily bOned or mounted
over the regular skeleton shapes have sup
erseded the stfff forms interlined with can
vas. Fasten the collar inyisibly and If a
bow or the favOrite chou is used make it
rather fat. Avoid all full effects and when
band and bows are worn make them of
soft gauze or liberty satin ribbon, or tulle
Stocks with deeply pointed slender tabs in
front are always becoming.

DreauthOrD.

The art of essay writing seems to have
become almost lost one and with it good
essays of the old-fashioned kind Good lit
erature is the loser by it. In the absence
of first-rate essays by contemporary writ
ers ii is worth while occasionally to revive
some of those of the past. ''Dreamthorp'
is the title of a volume of such essays by
Alexander Smith, whose first reputation
was made as a poet, but who became known
later as a writer of beautiful prose He
died in 1867. 'DreamthOrp" was first pub
lished in 1863 and l.. c. Page * Co. of Bos-
ton have brought out a new edition of it
The volume contains eight essays besides
the title one. They deal either with purely
literary topics or with phases of country
life and furnish very pleasant reading. The
volume is handsomely illustrated.
