Dog Collars in Fashion.

There is an agreeable return TO the
return OF velvet bands around the neck.
These are dignifed by the name of dog
collar. because they are 5ewelsd or other
wise ornamented
The most commonplace ones and yet
the most brilliant ones are Of rhinestones
in bars of heur de lis and marguerltes.
The latter is exceedingly smart and fun
Of charm. It makes one of the best look
ing dog collars worn. The daisy has be-
come favorite flower IN ornamentation
OF all kinds. It trims hats. is used for
embroidery. and is made into jeweled
| pendants.
Therefore it is natural that 1t should
be used as a motif for a jeweled dog col
lar
While black velvet and rhinestones are
usual and popular. they are not supposed
10 quite rank with the Byzantine de-
signs. These are made OF Egyptian crys-
/ tails in brilliant colors, and are mounted
on peacock green and blue velvet They
are rather wonderful In appearance. con-
sidering that none of the stones are
precious, and they look far more genuine
than the white crystals on black velvet
Young girls are also wearing seed
pearls arranged in daisies or in round
medallions placed against pale blue or
rose pink or black velvet ribbons, It is
possible that these are the most sought
after dog collars because they are copied
after those worn by our ancestors. Some
OF these are herlooms. Others have fes-
t0ons of seed pearls dropping for two and
three inches from the velvet brands.
This is an exceedingly pretty design and
should be copied by those who have sn-
EenUitV in this direction
The best part of these dog collars is
the fact that they can be made at home.
When finished they are much more effec-
tive than the bureau scarfs and knitted
cravats that girls spend their leisure time
upon.
AL manner Of crystals. including rhine
stones and seed pearls, can be bought by
the COX in the art departments OF the
shops. They are strung on silk thread
or surgeons fax il the yare large and
heavy. One can work out regular or
irregular design on the velvet bands.
II the former is preferred it can be drawn
on with a tiny line of crayons which may
be easily brushed of.

HEART AND HOME TALKS.
The Quality of Leadership.

Sir Earnest Shackleton. the leader Of
the ''farthest south" expedition. furnishes
good study In the qualities of leader
ship. Even in hearing him lecture, though
he is very modest as to what he did him
self. one can see the qualities that made
the expedition a success shining through
his personality
But" one Will say. Il do not expect to
head an expedition to discover the south
pole and so do not need the qualities OF
leadership; and as for the north pole,
that has been overdiscOvered already"
But one needs the quality Of leadership
in many places. The mistress Of the home
needs II II she is to manage her maids
most successfully, for together they form
party for the conquest Of dirt and dust
Tor the proper preparation Of food for
accomplishing all the many other things
essential to a well-equipped home.
The qualities of leadership are neces-
sary In business II one has under him
even so few as two or three people: and
one never knows when he will be pro-
NOTED to position where he will have the
management and direction of many. So
1t Is well to cultivate the qualities that
viii make for success.
What, then. are the qualities which this
intrepid eonqueror OF the southern wastes
Of snow and ice showed?
He was quick TO meet an emergency, TO
devise ways on the instant 20 overcome
difficulties. The boat that was purchased
for the expedition when loaded sank be-
low the line prescribed by law in Eng
land for this class OF ships. He immedi-
ately converted her into a yacht, for
which there was no such law. One could
see this ingenuity was ready to meet any
difficulty that turned up.
No matter how long the party tramped
over trackless fields Of snow, how short
were the rations. how utterly discouraged
and exhausted ShackietOn himself might

feel. he never let his men know his ex-
haustion and encouragement, He might
sympathize with theirs, but he himself
was, IN their eyes, always up TO the
mark and by this very seeming vigor
and hopefulness put strength and heart
into them. What he could endure they
felt they could also.
When long, monotonous days IN camp
with nothing to do told upon the spirits
of the men and predisposed them to
inconsistencies. he arranged ali sorts Of
jokes and amusements from the scanty
material at hand 10 keep them in good
spirits. No doubt he felt as little dis
posed to mirth. as homesick as they, but
his keen eye took in the situation and he
knew this state Of mind must be broken
up. =
These qualities and many more one
could see as he lectured, and one under
stood why the men with him were so
faithful and interchangeable
These same traits viii make for success
In the management OF the home. in bust
ness, as well as IN discovering an eiu-
sive pole. Simmered down, isn't IL mat
ter of supreme devotion to the cause in
hand and utter unseifishness7 The thing
he was working for had all his heart and
soul He thought of it and OF his men,
but he rarely thought Of himself except
10 realize that he must keep mis- health as
far as possible IN order TO accomplish his
object and that he must keep a stif up
per lip to inspire the others. But all self
ish considerations OF comfort or easy
work were absolutely put aside He
didn't pick out the easy Jobs for himself;
he wasn't lazy, neglectful or self-pity-
ing that such a superhuman undertaking
was on foot.
Every kind OF work has certain special
requirements for successful leadership.
But a man or woman can study these out
and by adding these general qualities
make success. BARBARA BOYD.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

In a recent discussion concerning the
future social position of a lady who has
been leader by right Of favor from a
quarter where favor counts an enumera-

ment: ''She is the best cook in the coun-
try" Apparently that had been an APP
preciable feature OF her popularity and
was TO be relied upon TO help her keep
her footing in the tickle world to which
she belongs.
The art of cooking is potent, that we all
know. We patronize the restaurant where
it is best understood and snap az invita-
tons to homes celebrated for perfection
in this line. Cooks command high wages,
regulated by degree of skill There are
artists in this field like the cook who Is

There are chatting dish experts among

for mortals. Somewhere in the world is
woman who married a VIGOROUSLY
