Measures Of some sort must, however,

ing.
One could keep on writing endlessly
about the neckwear, but l really must
tell you about collar Of ermine made
by a clever girl who has more brains
than money. This young lady had an
ermine muff that had survived her in
fantile days In good state Of preser-
walton. This pelt she determined to
make into one of the new neckbands
With this end in view she cut paper
pattern of a collar whose shape was
similar to that of the old storm af-
fair that stood up high and close in
the back and sloped down in front.
This modern collar, though, crossed in
front In tiny laps like the velvet rib
bon one wears at ones neck. The pat
tern was laid on the skin side of the
ermine and cut with a sharp razor,
allowing for a slight turning in. Edg-
ing the collar all around was an inch
wide quilting Of black satin ribbon,
and at the top, extending a little be-
yond the black, peeped a killing of
gold tissue and above this a quilting
of creamy lace The effect was charm
ing and French to a degree, and all
for the price of the trimming and a
little white satin used for the lining.
Doesn't this Idea suggest possibilities
of other neckbands to you?
reckon 1t wouldn't be up to date
for a fashion scribe not to mention
something sin the directoire style"
But who said the directOire gown was
new? It's about three centuries old,
and these figures are conservative. 1t
recently came to light that Parisiennes
borrowed the sheath gown idea from
Burma, where it has been the national
costume for centuries. One hears, too,
that in the orient as in America, the
sheath skirt, opening at the side, is
losing favor and the closed jupe is
coming into popularity. In fact, the
directoire gown is being brought down
to the simplicity of the tailored frock.
At a matinee last Saturday a young
society matron was wearing with her
mauve crepe de chine gown a direc-
toire coat Of black satin lined with
violet ottoman silk The coat was
cut up at the sides, and ore caught
fascinating glimpses Of the colored lin
ing. The same shade of mauve was
repeated in the feathers of the large
black silk hat. Tbs repetition of color
in coat lining ard hat is one of the
new ideas of the season.

Poverty Has Its Advantages.

A man on the wane Of life observes
that poverty has advantages and ad-
versity its uses. If you are poor you
can wear out your old clothes. You
are excused from calls. You are not
troubled with many visitors. Bores do
not disturb you. Spongers do not haunt
your tables. Brass bands do not sere-
made you. No one thinks of present
ing you with a testimonial. No store
keeper irritates you by asking you,
"Is there anything l can do for your
Begging letter writer's do not bother
you. Flatterers do not tiatter you.
You are saved many debts and many
a deception. And, lastly, If you have
a true friend in the world you are sure
to know it in short space Of time by
him not deserving you.-Huntsville

Tools For Sewing Room.

No one can accomplish good results
in any kind of work If she has not
the proper tools with which to work.
If the sewing room is furnished neatly
and comfortably twice the amount of
work can. be accomplished. One of the
absolute necessities for every sewing
room is a small kitchen table painted
white. Into the drawer may be put
scissors, chalk, tape measures and 9th
er small articles that are indispensa-
BILE In the sewing room. This table
can be used to lay the goods on while
cutting out garments, and 1t will be
found a great help when it comes to
basting seams and hens Of skirts and
other garments.
The sewing room should be furnish
ed with low chair for use when at
the sewing machine, as a high chair is
most uncomfortable, making one lean
over and strain the back. A large
mirror also is necessary, for when one
is fitting ones own clothes this viii be
found most convenient. A great many
steps viii be saved If roomy waste
basket, a dustpan and broom are also
kept handy.

Evidently she didn't support a hus-

THE PALACE WAITED.
A Suggestion That Changed the Plans
Of Pope.

OF q TSPCs
At a time when there was great suf-
fering among the people from lack Of
food and when famine in its worst
form was threatened Pope Alexander
vi. had made arrangements for the
erection Of magnificent palace. The
best architects had been employed, and
the plans had been submitted and ac-
cepted, and an accomplished builder
had been sent for to come from Venice,
man whose work had won for him
renown and who was known to be a
just and upright man.
The builder had arrived, and at an
appointed time he waited upon his
holiness to receive the plans and make
his estimates. There is one thing yet
to be DONE" said the pope. There
has been no proper inscription OF leg
end thought of to be placed over the
main entrance of the palace. 1t should
be put above the great gate. You have
had experience. Do you think of an In
scription that would be appropriate"
"If your holiness would pardon me
for the liberty, l might suggest one
most appropriate at this time"
"You are pardoned In advance" said
the pope, smiling. "Now, what shall
1t beY
Sovereign pontiff, let it be thus:
Command that these stones. be made
breadp"
The pope was visibly and deeply af-
fected. He paid the builder munifi-
Gently for his expenses Of coming and
going, and instead of building his pal
ace he fed the hungry ones Of his
children.
