GIVES RIGHT LOOK TO NECK.
Simple Jabot That Adds Just the
Right Touch to the Dainty
Summer Costume.

To be at all original in this day of
numerous neck fashions, the jabot
must be invented on the spot by the
maker thereof. A beautiful little af-
air which was, after all, very usual
nit of plated linen and Irish cro-
chet, was fastened ingeniously with
buttons and buttonholes to the perma-
nent stock collar of blouse. This
took away that stuck-on look which
has become an unpleasant part of the
jabot when worn without a rundown
collar.
The plated linen was set into a
doubled strip of the same material.

and feather-stitched In the daintiest
manner all the way round. At each
end of it were two buttonholes, which
fastened over the four lace buttons
on the stock collar. There was left
a tiny space in the center for a pref
ty pin. and the trim fastening of the
jabot made 1t appear part Of the

The Popular runIe.

Everything points to the growing
of the tunic as feature of evening
and afternoon gowns. There is moth
ing new about it. nothing startling.
It has been worn steadily in Paris
by those who wish to differ their
clothes from those worn by the
masses. 1t is, therefore, probable it
will increase in favor, as there has
been no tendency to run 1t into the
ground.
There are many women who object
to the sheath frock, although they like
the modern silhouette. They approve
of long, slim lines, and they want
to keep them, but not at the expense
of artistic drapery. Their figures
demand flowing lines, and these are
given by the tunic.
1t begins at the bust in some frocks,
at the shoulders In others, and in
the third class it starts two inches
above the normal waist line.

the bag is made. 1t can be slung over

there are no fastenings, the dress can
be placed inside and taken out again

We like the Millers. We all do. This
is not to say that we approve of their
methods. No one with a grain of
sense could approve of the Millers'
methods. Though-come to think-the
Millers haven't a grain of method in
their whole makeup.
Those of us who incline to disap-
prove do 1t with the half-heartedness
Of housewife who tries to discoun-
tenance her pet cats painful of new
kittens, but who really can't help
thinking they are kind of cunning"
after all. That's how the Millers in
fluence our attitude toward them
selves; they are reprehensibly out of
order, but they calm the eye.
They live near the corner of the
street. in the two-story frame house
that needs painting badly and has the
impudently fresh pink silkoline cur
tains at the windows.
Mr.. Miller is-or was-an actor
maybe commercial drummer. II is
quite immaterial. Either he deserted
the Millers or he died, or he merely
travels. AT any rate, he never shows
up, and can be utterly eliminated from
this account, leaving the Millers a
household of women only.
Lacking man who needs to be
launched with punctual breakfast In
the morning, braced with brief but
inevitable lunch at noon, and an
chored by a promptly substantial sup
per In the evening, the Millers have
cut themselves loose from the conven-
tional shackles of meal time, and eat,
or do not eat, exactly as they choose.
Their breakfast must be a harem-
like business of coffee in bed. We

feel painfully certain that they do
not set table for It.
Our street has been awake. clothed,
and at work for fully four hours be-
fore any glimmer of life shows at the
Millers.
That glimmer is usually Amy Mil
ler At nine in the morning, Amy,
with an ulster over palpable night
gown, opens the front door mere
crack and cleverly fishes in the news
paper, using the crook of an umbrel-
la handle for an implement The part
of her face that is visible appears to
be dreadfully dismayed at the bright
ness of the daylight.
Presently lazy curl Of smoke
creeps from the Miller chimney.
: Next, Mallie Miller, to whom the
ulster has been transferred, runs down
the steps and hastens to the grocery
store. Though gloveless and in slip
fpers, she is nevertheless thickly
lveiled-which is to cover up her un-
icombed hair. She comes back Juggling
"a parcel which proclaims itself loaf
iof bread. Mallie skins into the house
gratefully, glad to have done with
the probing glare Of day.
The ulster comes out third time.
1t is now Beulah Miller who is in it.
Beulah, the youngest and the pretti-
est. defiantly swings milk pitcher.
Though tall, Beulah is still young
enough to be coerced into going for
the unwrappable commodities.
; Not so long, and Mrs. Miller ap-
pears for brief public stunt. She
has broom, and proceeds to sweep
down the front steps. Her every fiber
protests. She clings desperately to
the ostrich-like fallacy that If she
cannot see, neither can she be seen.
SO she jams mans felt hat down
over her eyes, and doggedly keeps
her back to the street.
That about finishes the Millers for
the day. From sunrise to sunset their
doors are barred and their window
shades are down. Yet the Millers are
fairly due the blinds show great ac-
tivity at the corners. At every win
dow a curtain hikes up little. and an
eye shines at the opening. Yet when
the man really arrives, and rings
there Is no one either ready or willing
to open the door for him. He is kept
waiting while the Millers frantically
compare their state Of undress to find
out which one has on garment
capable of being pinned into suf-
ficient condition of decency to brave
an outsiders eye. The Miller who is
finally forced to go is always COM
PEELED to grip her skirt together at
the back with one hand. and to grasp
the neck Of her blouse with the other.
What she has left with which to
clutch the mali is mystery. Per

A Good PouItice.

A good poultice that gives relief in
many kinds of sudden pain is one well
known to our grandmothers, but now
little used because few know how to
make 1t. 1t is made from dried hops.
Put a cupful of the hops in a cup
of hot water and let it boil until the
water is reduced to half cup; then
stir in enough cornmeal to thicken.
Apply very hot between thin muslin
cloths. Poultices when needed at night
can be made on an alcohol lamp with
a lineup ON top A new poultice can
be heating in this while the old one
is cooling on the patient. It saves
many trips to the kitchen.
