THE WORLD OF WOMEN.
Novelty. In Turnover Collars to Wear
With Low Necked Blouse-of Satin
Edged With Narrow Plating Of
Persian Ribbon-Are Worn With
White Blouse, But Also Pretty on
Dark Ones,

A novelty in turnover collars to
wear with the low.necked blouse or
frock is OF satin in an attractive color.
edged with a narrow plating OF Per-
sian ribbon.
These come In cornflower blue, in
bright red and In leaf green: They are
worn with white blouses and gowns.
but they are much prettier on frocks
OF dark colors.
When linen color, mustard. deep
blue or dull red frocks are worn the
turnover collar OF satin in another
: tone or in a contrasting color is very
effective. One has to be quite sure
of'one's sense OF color In using 1t, but
that holds good in every department
oftdress.
They are about three inches vide
these little collars-and shape off to
a rounded point in the front. They
are faced with the material, the plait-
Ing is securely stitched to the under
side, and they are finished of. with
a crayat OF Persian satin and colored
chiffon cloth.
These cravats are very much In ia.
Z yor and stand well In the department
OF neckwear. They have not exactly
ousted the black velvet bow but they
are distinctly newer and prettier. A
few are made to so straight across
and others are arranged in q tiny flat
bow with accordion plated ends.
( The Persian fabric is usually inserted
for three inches at the end. ~
Irish lace is not having things its
own way in collars. For long time
\ 1t did, but now various weaves Of
thinner laces are being taken up
: Among these is Lierre lace, which is
a kind OF braid design on coarse
net. These are made to dip bit in
front, in fact, large majority of the
/, new collars have this becoming line. .
They have been made TO suit the
: new method of wearing the gown ex.
: ceedingly low in front. This is done
on all kinds of blouses for the street
and the house, but as the wedge is
/ very narrow and does not expose
much Of the skin, the effect is not
startling.
Other collars are made OF Renais-
sance lace. which is distinctly braid
pattern. These are quite attractive
on fine blouses that are not trimmed
with any kind OF embroidery or lace,
a method that is coming more and
more into fashion.
None of these lace ones is plated.
All are entirely plain and shaped to
fit the neck.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1910-08-05

The Chantecler ruff or Claudne col.
lar, as some call 1t, is still the most
fashionable one that girl can wear.
These were brought out entirely
round in the beginning. but the manu-
facturers have at last shaped them
well down in front. They are worn
on coats as well as blouses, are made
OF fine material and edged with lace
or scallops OF hand embroidery.
The latter are the daintier and the
more to be desired. but they cost twice
as much as any other kind.
Cluny lace is more used than valen-
sciennes and point d'esprit, knife plat.
ed and mounted on muslin, is also q
fayorlte.

At Camp Meeting.

A merry crowd lefthere last Sunday
Morning, bound for Hudson to enjoy
not only long ride through the pine
forest of VIM but to attend camp
meeting. The crowd consisting of
some of the young people of the town
took their dinner with them which
they certainly enjoyed, indeed some
declared that $50 abundant had been
the chicken and so jolly the crowd
until they could hardly keep from
flying" \
While they were prevented from
enjoying the morning service, be-
cause of the length of the drive, they
found the afternoon hour very inter-
esting and instructive. Then too the
young people found a congenial crowd
from Dodson who joined forces with
them in an exploring expedition over
the Hudson school campus and build
ings. So interested were the young
people in the surroundings and SO
pleasantly was the time passing until
they, forgetful of the hour, found
that they had stayed longer than
had been their intention. Therefore,
night overlook them on their return.
This, however, did not prevent them
from enjoying their homeward
journey since the moonlight flooded
the woods.
May it again be our pleasure to
spend day with these young people
who leave nothing unturned in their.
efforts to make all spend a happy day.
Those who enjoyed the trip were
Misses Clyde Bozeman, Katie Lee
White, Estelle Tannehill, Lorena
Walker, Laura WATSON, Clyde Long,
Katherine VanDyke, Nancy Long,
Audie Williams, Vivian Holt; Messrs.
Luther Moore, Morrell Milburn,
Averett Watts, Thos. Randle and
Chas. Smith. s

Giant Corn.

Last week our friend M. G. Bagwell,
who has farm east of town, brought
us fine melon, and some samples Of
a new kind of corn he is raising. The
corn is called the white giant and the.
name is not at all deceptive. The
ears shown us were over a foot long
and larger than a mans arm. The
grains were more than twice as large
as the ordinary corn. He has half an
acre in this corn and is selling it for
seed at 10 cents an ear. All who see
the corn are anxious to secure the
seed.

Another Burglary.

This city was again visited by a
gang of thieves at about 1870 O'Clock
Tuesday night when the stores of S.
j. Harper, Peoples Hardware & Fur
niture Co., and O'Quin & Gibson Dry
Goods Company were broken into.
Entrance into Harper's store was
effected through large transom on
the second floor and only $1.25 was
taken from the cash drawer. Mr..
Harper could not ascertain as to what
goods were stolen.
The Peoples Hardware & Furniture
Company's store was entered by
breaking open the back door. On
investigation four fine pistols were
found missing and 81 in loose change
from the cash drawer, but the pro-
prietors do not know of anything else
being taken.
The thief entered the store of O'Quin
u Gibson by removing the skylight
and jumping down about fifteen feet
on some dry goods on table. In this
store the thief consumed considerable
time in selecting certain articles to
suit himself, as indicated by almost
everything in the store being upset.
About $50 worth Of dry goods had
been selected and arranged to be
taken away when he was discovered
by some boys, who gave the alarm.
At this moment the robber made a
bold dash through the front door. In
his flight he was fired at three times
by Turner Machen, restaurant
keeper, but it is~not known whether
he was hit or not. Only $1.50 in
money was taken from the cash
drawer.
The L. & A. depot was also entered
about the same hour, by breaking the
sash and turning the fastener. The
cash drawer was broken open, but as
it contained no money, the thief got
nothing.
This is the second robbery to occur
in Winfield within three weeks, the
first stores being robbed were w. A.
Mashaw, the jeweler, who lost $40 in
cash, and S. J, Harper, who returned
in time to prevent anything being
taken away. His store was again
broken into Tuesday night.
It is believed that this second rob-
berry was perpetrated by the same
gang who operated here three weeks
ago. The police. department. is MAX
ing every effort to apprehend the thief
or thieves and hopes to capture them
before long.

want no such tunes here.''

silence Mayor Hanson arose and
closed the meeting.
