NeckIets for Girls

The smart girl is a very interesting
young person TO behold these autumn
days, for she scarcely let's a day go
by that she does not introduce you to
a new fashion and greet you with a
new fad.
Early IN the summer Il was a long
chain that she was wearing, Of beads
or jewels. according as her purse al
lowed Now the long chain is looked
upon as being entirely too popular to
be worn by the girls who lead, in
stead Of follow. the fashions. II is the
necklet that is the smart thing 10
wear right nova dainty little chain,
sometimes Of one strand and some
times of three which falls just below
the throat. From the necklet danglss
are suspended and it is quite a fad
to have these bangles the fair wearer's
birth stone. The necklet is invariably
OF fine gold chains, and sometimes the
delicate strands are connected with
little chains Of tiny pearls. Amethyst
drops make effect bangles. and baroque
pearls are also much the mode used
IN this way, says the Womans Home
Companion.
Very often the necklet consists OF
one fine gold chain. which fits snugly
about the collar. From this but one
dangle will depend, but II will be a
large and expensive one.
Strings OF enamelled beads just long
enough to encircle the throat are a
fashion Of the moment. They are very
dainty and attractive in pale blue, be-
ing strung In such a way that a small
rhinestone alternates with each pretty
blue bead. Big coral beads are also
worn, but they must ft closely about
the neck. instead Of swinging away be-
low the waist line.

Fad for Smart Girls

The girls looked upon as leaders Of
the younger contingent of the smart
set now greet and farewell en- mllitaire.
Instead OF recognizing a friend by bow
ing In the old-time, conventional way,
they give a sharp, short, military sa-
lutte. II is the newest fad, brought
back to town from the country and
the shore. and Il is well to say right
here that the awkward, self-consclous
girl should not attempt It, says the
Woman's Home Companion. To be at
all a success. the military salute must
be done gracefully and in an ofhand,
natural manner.

to succeed when u army in the east
is strengthened to a point equal or su-

centrated and ready they will finish by
driving the Japanese into the sea.
FRANKLY, it seems to us the Jana

the utmost p~ositiyeness that Russia

There is no disposition to paint the
situation blacker than it is. At the
same time 1t Is necessary to speak as
all do here. Everyone is asking. Have,
we any generals?" At lis time, at
the last moment, commanders are be-
ing appointed and dispatched from
long distances, whereas they should
have been at the seat of war long ago.
Those who snapped their fingers at the
Japanese, who contemptuously talked
Of them as monkeys, who lightly said
they would pull their hair for them,

ageous and cunning.

experts to the effect that the Japanese
already have acquired such advantages
and such s~tratcgically strong positions
it will be difficult to GUST them. AS
showing the spirit of the public mind,
each day as sister rumors circulate in
the city to the effect that Russia has
been badly beaten on land, the people
one and all clamor for news, insisting
there is some, and that 1T is being con-
cealed from them.

about the war and marine h~eadquar-
ters clamoring for news, and when
there is no news for them they will not
believe the officials, but profess to
think that deception is being prac-
ticed. Yet the people are upset II
anxious. Today here in the Russian
capital the Russians, men, women and
children, are, above all things, sus-
picious and are showing the predomin-
ating instinct stronger today.
Disquieting Jews as to the way mat
tiers are progressing at the front keep
coming through. The sick list Of SOL
diers has already assumed alarming
proportions, and there is a lack Of
doctors. Sixty-1ve doctors left yester-
day for the front.
