One of the newest things I'm smart neckwear is
the butterfly bow of white lawn. These bows
are easily made, and most effective worn with
the embroidered linen collar on tailor made
shirtwaist. One great advantage is that all
sorts of odds and ends of laces may be utilized
to trim the bows. 1t is always possible, too 10

placed on the shield OF q white cravat thus maxi

nished with a loop OF white hat elastic. which
can be fastened to the collar button
Some of the bows are worked in eyelet
broidery, with a scallop edge done in button
hole stitch. Others are decorated with French
dots The black or green dot is effective on a
piece Of white lawn shaped to simulate butter

Touching on the question OF colleges. Mrs Hughes
remarked that great deal said about the de-
fective education of women. but she believed the
education of men was just defective. She thought
that college training and curricula tended too much
10 the material, were too much shaped to the sole
cnd of giving the student a vocation.
But Miss Bertha Paine. of the School of Educa-
ton at the University of Chicago. took the oppo-
site view.
Il believe. she said. that the restlessness which
so many college boys show along about their sOphO-
more year is due Ia the fact that they find SO
little in their work that is concrete Sometimes L
think the most valuable part of college life is the
management of 4 fraternity house things of that
kind that come incidentally. The poor boy gets
