MATERIAL FOR THE COLLAR.
Fine Null in Thread Tucks is Now
Much Worn.

The new separate collar TO attach 10
thin white blouse is made of very
fine null in thread tucks, edged with
4 tiny border of black silk muslin at
top and bottom.
\ line of this is also run up the
back and it is fastened with tiny round
silk buttons and cord loops.
The little bow attached to the front
Is of plated null edged with the
black, and in the center there is a
butterfly of Irish lace
This stock is especially effective
with an all.white suit and carries out
the color scheme if there are black
pumps and stockings and white hat
trimmed with black satin.
II is quite the fashion to finish the
center of the stiff little bows worn in
front Of stock with a motif of heavy
lace. These can easily be picked up
by the half dozen at sales.
Another pretty idea in neckwear is
a large bow of messaline made with
equal loops and ends finished with a
heavy silk cord to match at al! edges.
These sell in some shops for sl.5O.
but if girl has bit of messalne in
the house she can make one for the
price of the cord.
They are worn at the base Of the
stock as well as with the thin turn.
over collar which is taking the place

FOR A BIG FAMILY.
TwirlnC Tray Does Much to Expedite
Table Service.

There Is a novelty extremely smart
as well as sensible. that solves
problem of many a housekeeper both
those with plenty Of servants and
those with none. This is Il twirlinE
tray 10 expedite table service.
To have the meals of large family
daintily. even comfortably, served re.
CURES Il skilled waitress. Even so
there are apt to be long waits or
showing.
The English fashion of being more
informal for breakfast and luncheon
than for dinner, Is gaining headway
with us. While the side.table serv-
ice. with each one helping his or her
self, has BY no means become gen
eral. II is being more and more
adopted, especially in country homes.
A convenient substitute is found in
one of these trays. They are made
TO match the table, either mahogany
or oak. and are about "a inches in
diameter, though they can be made
TO suit any width table. Each tray
has a rim and rests on n standard on
which it slides easily.
The twirler is placed in the center
of the table. in reach Of all, and on it
are placed butter, preserves, bread
and rolls, the molasses pitcher, and
such relshos as radishes, celery, or
cheese. AS these are the things that
are in constant demand, and keep the
waitress busy, It is a great time
saver to have them reached by simply
a twirl of the tray.
Ugly? Not all all; rather un-
usual looking at first, but the tray can
be made very dainty with its snowy
embroidered cover, Il vase of flowers
in the center, and the other dishes en-
circling it,
IL one cares to go to the expense
there are sectional dishes made that
just fit these trays. They are shallow
ana trimmed, and have n circular dish
in the center, with six or eight tri-
angular dishes radiating from it to
form an outer circle.
When the family is extra large two
trays are used one at each end of the
table.
While these trays are only consid

luncheon, and are generally used on
the bare table; when there is no maid
they can be used as convenience die
