SAILOR COLLARS
ARE ALL THE RAGE

Square sailor collars finish most Of the
coats for young girls this spring. and.
indeed, this style of collar Is especially
becoming, and should be retained for
schoolgirls, even if given up by older
persons.
The more white near the face the more
attractive will the spring costume appear.
and the wide washable collar is a fashion
both intensely practical and extremely
smart
Its width varies somewhat according to
the figure of the wearer. since for some
girls a narrow. rather deep collar will be
more becoming than a wide, shorter
shape and vice versa
The shape in the front should be care
fully planned, so as not to give a narrow
look to the thin child or too broad a
look to the stout girl.

EMBROIDERED LINEN TO
BE USED WITH SILKS

English eyelet and other openworl1
embroidery on sheer maulin and linen
or batiste is used in combination with
even the delicate silks for evening wear,
while in the realm of lingerie frocks
it is immensely important. A few of
these lingerie models are made up in
coat and frock models and when these
are of white linen the linen is so elabo-
rately embroidered in openwork designs
that the plain linen assumes an unim-
portant role save in the upper part OF
the skirt and the trimming.

WISE WOMEN GO
BARGAIN HUNTING
Winter-end Sales Have Many
Treasures.

This Is the season of the year when
the wise woman goes bargain hunting.
The winter-end sales have many treas
ures among the mass of materials, but
the real treasures are not always ad-
vertised- There are lengths of lace and
trimmings sold for a third of their
original cost and rare bits of material
that will make old gowns look like new
when the spring dressmaking begins 1t
Ms always a poor plan. in fact it is rank
extravaganza to buy bargains just
for the sake of buying it but there are
practical possessions that have a definite
use.
Settle the Question of Spring
II the winter wardrobe has not been
completed the smartest of costumes.
model gowns, can be selected. and if of
really the latest design and not too
heavy weight will settle the question of
spring costume nicely. Evening gowns
can also now be found at low prices and
a good theater gown is an excellent in
vestment at tine moment, for if it is not
too extreme it will surely be quite pos
sible next winter, and while the extremes
should always be avoided, the model that
is original and striking is good one to
choose, for the chances are that it is
will remain fashionable for months.
The surplice and picture effect SO fash
ionable lends itself best TO the high waist
line, and at the moment most gowns are
made in this style. The greatest care
must be taken, however. that the waist
line is placed so that the skirt hangs
straight from it, entirely conCealing the
natural curve-in at the waist line and the
line of the hips. There must be ample
material at the back of the gown. but
not an inch too much.
Tunic Skirt Makes Things Easy.
The tunic skirt makes it easier to carry
out these lines. which may be one reason
for its popularity, and if it is of unusual
length, it can be opened to show the
gown beneath. at the back and also in
front.
The folk who are going South are not
the only ones who are buying spring mill
lInery and wearing it. The majority of
the hats bought now and worn in the
North are flower hats. hats of malineS.
&c, which can be worn straight along
through the raw weather Of early spring.
shapes and in wonderful coloringS. One
smart little toque, sitting low the
head. had a close brim of velvet in a
curious shade of rich red with a pur-
plish bloom. and the crown. just 4 mere
tri1e larger than the folded brim, was
entirely of poppieS exquisite in their
rich red shadings and dashed with deep
blackish purple at their hearts.

Hints About Skirts.

For the street. skirts are short. some
times very short. and for the house. long
and with all sorts of eccentric trains.
One effective train was composed of two
points overlapping each other in the back
and forming train. while even more re-
markable is the scaT-like panel simu-
lating a train. which is worn quite as
often over the arm and allowed to trail
on the ground.

Coat Sets of All Grades.

The coat sets are of all grades of
elaboration. from the simple collar and
cuffs of plain linen with embroidered
scallop to the exquisitely embroidered
and real lace trimmed sets of finest
handkerchief linen or the plated frills
of the same sheer, fine material. with
hand embroii ered. pointed scallops for
border. These collars vary in depth and
length. and some, of course. are made
with the square sailor back of small or
exaggerated proportions.

Innamed Eyes.

Miss X. B.: To relieve minor infamma-
lions of the eyes, wash them with a
per cent solution of boracic acid every
night and morning. Have your druggist
put up the boracic solution, and be sure
to. see that it is pure and clear. Buy
a glass eye cup. and when ready to battle
your eyes fill the eye cup half full Of the
boracic solution and hold it up quite
near to the eyes. Now lower the head
and fit the cup to the eye socket. Slowly
| throw the head back, holding the cup
pressed tightly against the socket. When
the heed is as far back as II will go,
wink the eye in the solution. so that II
may be bathed in the soothing fluid.
Open and shut the eye at least a dozen
times. Refill the cup. and repeat the
operation with the other eye.
