BEcoMINGFoRM OF NEcKWEAR
Idea That Is Largely Copied from the
styles Popular with the
Sterner Sex.

We are getting more picturesque
every day. This is especially true OF
neckwear. There are some women
who cling to starched turnover col
lars and the high-boned, untrimmed
stock because they are becoming;
but many other women take advan'
tage of the pictorial opportunities In
neckwear.
One of the newest fashions Is a
duplicate of the old method used by
gentlemen for covering their necks.
A high linen collar with soft finish
Is fastened to the neckband OF the
blouse. It's points are turned over by
hand in front, and black satin scarf
is wrapped around the collar and tied
in front.
II is best to use satin on the bias.
Any weave of 1t is correct. 1t Is usual
" folded double and stitched SO that
it will not roll back and show the
lining. 1t is finished in front with a
loose bow and ends, or a precise lit
tie bow, from the center OF which
may dangle velvet ribbon, a lace frill,
or Jet balls.
The most picturesque fashion Is to
arrange it in this formal little bow
in front and ado double frill OF

M YORK HERALD'S SCOOP
Had the Only Authorized Version Of
DR.. Cooks Discovery.

New York, Sept. 3.-The New York
Herald made the greatest scoop Of re-
cent years when it published Dr..
Frederick A. Cooks personal narrative
OF his journey to the North pole. The
Herald had the only authorized YER
zion of the discovery, which was ent
to it by DR.. Cook himself. The AS
sociated Press and many other papers
used the story sent exclusively to the
Herald, but full credit is due to the
Herald only for it's enterprise in OBJ
tanning the greatest newspaper scoop
in many years.
The thrilling story of DR.. Cook, so
simply and yet SO graphically told, re-
vealing as it does the h%ardships en-
drred in the successful quest to solve
the fascinating mystery that for CEN
turtles has lured men to their deaths
in the vastness Of the frozen North,
cost the New York Herald probably
$4,000. This may seem q big price
to pay for a story, but the reward of
the Herald's enterprise in obtaining
this article from DR.. Cook was that it
put that paper half a day ahead of
every other paper in all the world.
