The great variety of collars now sanctioned by well-dressed women make it difficult to give detailed de- scriptiOns of how to fit them. How. ever. the basis of all is the<fitted cir cuIar. whether il be cut high in back and low in front or finished with fancy tabs at top.
 This circular pattern should fit snugly at both top and bottom. but never be the least bit tight, as nothing is more uncomfortable than a tight collar. besides which. it is apt to pull and give garment a drawn appearance.

fore midnight. The Canadians demanded the
forfeiture of the cup the ground that the
measurements of the Seneca, the defender, hdd
not been furnished at the time that the plans
of the Adele were sent by the Canadian club
The Canadians made charges OF bad falth
against the American yachtsmen. and the
Americans reciprocated with charges that the
Canadians unsportsmanlike and were
making their protest because they were afraid
to meet the defender.
All chance o: a race for the cup seemed to
be gone when the matter left TO the de-
cision of Judge Cromwell of the New YORK
Yacht Club, He suggested a means by which
the Seneca might be made to qualify under
the racing agreement, and the Canadians with
drew their protest They waived the clause In
the agreement making necessary the hling or
the plans of the defender. and If the Seneca
can qualify under the rules. with some altera-
tions there will be tomorrow.
