els this In style?" asked many a re-
ceiver of these dainty little trifies.
To be sure they are. 1t is practically
impossible to get anything in this line
that is not stylish and approved by Dame
Fashion. There are countless numbers
of varieties of them, seemingly so great
In variety that every woman might have
an individual one II she wished.
Every day Of the New Year is bring
ing out new variations on the ordinary
themes, and each variation presents be-
quilting possibilities. One can get along
with few blouses, but no normal woman
can to-day be content with few collars,
stocks and scarfs, and the appetite comes
with eating-the mania comes With buy
ing
First the foremost are the turnovers,
and even that one division of the subject
opens up infinite variety. One may buy
linen turnover for % cents, or one of
real lace for SIS, and between the two ex-
tremes are many gradations.
The single or double tab collar in va
rious designs is perhaps prime favorite,
but deep turnovers, almost as deep as the
stock and cut with straight lines, are
liked, particularly in sets OF collars and
cuffs and In the heavier materials, such
as crash. cotton, etamine. etc. These
heavy collars and. cuffs are frequently
embroidered in Russian or Bulgarian
cross stitch. and are exceedingly smart.
White with black embroidery is popu-
lar and for elderly women or women in
black, white collars and cuffs with mar
row black hens attached by fagoting are
fashionable.
One point about the turnover is trying
TO the soul of the wearer and 1t is odd
that no effort has been made to remedy
the fault. Almost all OF the stocks or
dress collars over which the turnovers
will presumably be worn are curved out
In front for comfort sake. The turn
overs are cut straight and the result is
that the turnover invariably muses. sad
ly just in front.
Many of the new hand wrought collars
are not turnovers at all but merely
supplementary collars with tabled or
pointed fronts. These are usually curved
at the top in front, and are worn fiat
over foundation or dress collar, or
without any support.
Linen collars of the slim sort are In
again after a season of disfavor, but
while the severely plain linen collar is
seen, the modish stiff collar bears an
embroidery of dots or tiny flowers or
scrolls. Sometimes its edge is scalloped
and buttonhold. sometimes it's narrow

Over 5000 Men on Strike in
This vicinity-Want Em-

The members of the New York Boiler
Makers and Iron Ship Builders Union,
District No. 2, are on strike. About
five thousand men are thus idle in and
about New York. Many of these are
employed at Theodore Smiths Sons
Company in Gammontown. The demand
of the men is that employers sign papers
agreeing to hire none but union men
and that their walking delegates shall
be allowed to go freely in and out of
the shops.
A meeting of the strikers was held
yesterday at Kelly's cafe and hall at
Greene and Grand streets, and it was
decided to make fight to the finish.
The strikers say they have any amount
of money in their treasury to enable
them to make such fight.

Montreal went up aaginst the Jersey
City team yesterday and though it failed
to score it held the local men down to
three runs. One of these was home
one by Cassidy. The game was clean
and exciting throughout. There was no
pickering. The decisions of Umpire
Haskell gave satisfaction to both teams
and the fans. There were many well
dressed women in the grand stand and
their presence and enthusiasm greatly
encouraged the home team. "Scrappy"
Joe Bean was on his very best be,
havior. The captain of a team has to
do some sccrapping occasionally. Bar
nett's work in the box was admirable.
He allowed the visitors only three hits.
In only one inning was "Canuck" al
lowed to reach the third base. In the
third inning Pitcher Mccarthy sent the
ball down to the left field fence and
was speeding for second, when Clement,
who felded the ball in good style,
slammed it to Doolin, who caught Nc
Carthy between the bases. The homo
team scored two of its three runs in the
fourth inning. Bean promenaded to first
and went to second on Cassidy's sacri-
fee. A bad throw by Mccarthy enabled
him to reach third. Keister sent the
ball well out in the left field and Bean
completed the promenade. Keister stole
second and got home on wild throw by
Doran to Hartman. Doolin made two
