Round ErIII at Neck.

The fiat. round plated frill has
usurped the place of the round, fiat
lace collar. It is not becoming, as a
rule. but that makes no difference to
the votaries of fashion. This frill Is
made of very sheer material laid in
fat plants which spring out about an
inch from the edge. This edge Is
nearly always finished with lace.
The collar is intended to be worn
with slightly low neck or white
blouse in, the same way that the
Peter Pan and Dutch collars have
been applied.
The small frill goes straight around
the neckband and fastens with large
cabochon. from which hang uneven
tabs of black velvet or satin ribbon.
Few girls can wear this even round
line at the neck, for the human face
requires a dip at the front Of the
neck no matter how it is obtained.
Therefore IL girl wants to be fash,
ionable and wear one Of these frilled
collars and look we'll in it she should
dip It down to show her neck

The Rose Mum.

The well-dressed women OF Paris
and Vienna have come to the conclu
sion that it is no longer necessary to
wear gloves in the summer months
They have discovered that gloves
whether kid, silk. suede, twill OF
Danish leather are not only uncomfort'
able in the hot season. but are preju.
dicial to health. So In June, July, Au-
gust and September the hands must
be left quite gloveless. not even mitts
being fashionable.
The no gloves idea has been well
coined by votaries of tennis, golf. Gro
ouet and rowing. To cover the hands
while at these sports has been great
mistake. they argue.
While gloves are discarded 1t is not
intended that the hands of the woman
In a ballroom or theater shall be
exposed. They are to be placed in a
more agreeable prison in the form of a
rose muff.
The rose nun is made of wire so
fashioned that flowers, more particu-
larly roses, can be inserted. 1t is al
most as long and as broad as the or
binary winter mum. The roses placed

Summer VEGETABLES.

So many of our summer vegetables
such as peas, string beans, squash.
corn and roots are simply boiled and
served with butter or milk. With the
exception of cabbage and It's kin. all
vegetables should be cooked in as lit
tie water as possible and used in the
sauce when serving as the flavor and
mineral constituents are drawn out In
the water during the cooking.
Boiling water should be used to
cook all tender vegetables. Change
the manner of their serving SO that q
variety is always on your table. When
there is more Of the liquid left in cook
ing vegetables than can be used in
serving them, save it for soups. stewss
