Sir: From time to time have read with much
interest articles in The Tribune relative TO home

signed to facilitate the correction OF bad matters

the most serious and degrading of any IN life. We

work embellishes everything.
Even the stiff brim collars show hand embroid-
cry. Even the cobwebby laces which are Law
lshed on the dressier forms of neckwear are
embroidered.
A charming stock that admirably illustrates
the prevailing trend In fancy neck garnitures is
built on a foundation of tucked chiffon II is
cut with long tab that hangs down quite over
tne front or the bodice and is decorated with
pieces of lace shirred down the centre with
q lace medallion to cover the shirrngs The
stock itself is boned and is finished off with

collar proper is buttonhoed in tiny scallops
Collars of this description are worn mostly
with tailor made blouses Some of them en-
phaslze the note of tailored severity by having
the lawn of which they built made up into
a little bow. with just the ends trimmed with
VAL edging.
AS for the "dressy" stocks. they are nearly all
made either of mousseline de sole or chiffon
Chiffon is, without doubt the most perisha BILE
OF all materials for such a purpose. but IL is by
far the prettiest, besides being such n soft nil
able fabric that one can do all manner of things
with it.
An extremely pretty effect is produced where
the chiffon is tied in bow and two ends
one of which should be much longer than the
other The ends are trimmed with insertion and
lace to match, then pressed into tiny pleats
The upright part of the collar is very simple
with just row of lace at top and bottom.
Exceedingly dainty, too is the collar and cuff
set made of two different laces Joined with
fagotting. The collar, made on a bias band Of

in-law, numbering ten in all, removed
TO Seattle, where they had hoped to
see the young wife restored to hesitn.
The minister told the clerk that it
was now an assured fact that his wife
was about to die and they all wished
TO accompany her back to st. Paul be-
fore the death occurred; that they had
enough money saved up to carry al
but one. and would Mr. Hill give him
"a pass for the extra one to st. Paul.
This conversation was a hurried one.
as the train was scheduled to leave
and the clerk, with all poss ~ Aas,e,

Mr.. Hill the information.
The president merely asked for a

seeing that Norah, to whom all vas
left, would certainly be his wife? FOR
at that moment he felt assured Of III
ultimate success than he had ever
done. Fate had stood by him with a
persistence almost miraculous. and
his luck would remain with him to the
end.
He put the will back, and the decd

ticipation.
If he could only have the title. as
well as Norah and the earrs money.
