PROPER FIT or COLLAR.
Garniture for the Neck Should Be
Straight on Bottom.

Many Of the new high collars are
made with curved lower edge The
best fitting collars, however, are those
made straight on the bottom. They
may be shaped as one wishes on top.
In making these high collars. which
follow the line of the hair in the back
and almost touch the ears and are
teen curved out under the chin, the
natural impulse of most women is to
make these collars too high. The
best way to secure good results in
making these collars is to make
newspaper pattern, altering and
changing until it fits. Measure
around the neck and cut a piece of
paper this length and four inches or
so high Then measure the height of
the collar in the center of the front,
measuring from the base of the collar
to where the head joins the neck, and
make this on the paper; then measure
the distance from the base of the col
lar in front to the beginning of the
hair, and measure the distance from
behind the ear to the bottom of the
collar, and mark these measurements
on the paper and cut the top of the
collar according to these. BY trying
the collar On and trimming it wher.
ever 1t may be too high, a perfect fit.
ting collar can be secured.

SHAM SKIRTS MUCH WORN.
Brought Back to Favor by the Vogue
Of Over-Drapery.

There is wide return to the skirt
made of silk or its imitation. instead
of the skirt of one material from
waist to hem.
1t has been many years since the
ham skirt was considered possible.
1t has been revived over and again
whenever the overskirt or tunic came
into fashion.
1t is now here in full force because
over-drapery is so much a part of
every costume. The silk foundation
is gored, and then bias fold or cir
cular ruffie finishes out the length.
Over this the drapery is dropped from
the waist.
Even street skirts are built in this
manner 1t is not an especial econo-
my, as some women seem to think,
because the tunic takes as much ma
terial as the whole skirt would.
Overdrapery is exceedingly good
looking when well done. 1t must be
close fitting over the hips, and have
a long straight line at the back and
cut in perfect lines around the hem.
Too much care cannot be given to this
drapery, as any line that cuts the
figure off is exceedingsly bad when
it is not good.
These TUNES are finished with wide
oraid or bands of embroidery. In fine
fabrics for house wear there is usually
only hem, but it really needs more
than this. Nothing makes better
trimming than one of the filet bands
now offered in every color and price.

Mrs. Silas Bennett was a philoso-

taken and follows the part of lace
lying next it, interlacing under and
over until four lines lie together as
the illustrations show. BY the time
four lines are together the whole will
have become rough dome-shape and
after little tightening, you can in
sert the button or hat pin.
The knot will now have to be pulled
very tight, even and taut. The aWl
and pincers will prove very useful. In
the final tightening, follow only one
end of the lace right through until you
reach the other end. Take care the
awl does not slip and pierce the finger.
When the knot is tight over the head
of the hat pin or button. cut off the
ends with a sharp penknife, press a
strand down to cover the severed ends
and carefully fasten with a generous
drop of liquid glue.
One English girl made six dozen of
these hat pins for bazaar where they
had ready sale.

GOLD LOOT RECOVERED
Two Bullion Bricks Found In Debris
Of Burned Saloon at Sidney.

Omaha, Feb. l.-Superintendent
Patterson of the Pacific Express com
pany returned TO Omaha from Sidney.
Neb., bringing with him two large
bricks OF bullion, believed to represent
part OF the loot OF a robbery OF the
company's Office In Sidney. Neb.. In
March, 1850.
The metal las found buried in the
debris of n saloon which burned two
weeks ago. The robbery was the bold
est Of It's kind ever committed In the
west. and the bullion which had been
received that day by stage from the
Black Hills was valued at $4,000.
One Of the bricks was sold to the Den
yer mint u year after the robbery.
Sheriff Mccarthy, who then owned the
saloon which burned recently, was be-
lieved TO be the leader Of the robber
band, but the express company was
unable to obtain his indictment. His
brother was later hanged by vigilantes.
Mccarthy has been dead several years.
Superintendent Patterson Is trying to
establish identification of the metal.
| IIe says the bullion value is indefinite,
but he will have II assayed at once.
Records of the Pacific Express COM
pany show that $1l 900 was paid to
the shippers of the gold bricks stolen
