The Handkerchief Collar,

Some of the very pretty waists of
silk have sailor collars made from q
mans silk handkerchief.
The neck is followed from the cen
ter, cut to fit the throat of the wearer.
1t is round in the back and cut into
V in front
So many handsome designs In these
fancy handkerchiefs can be found that
they should appeal to the girl who is
fond of the unusual in dress.
A collar of dull green had a border
of graduated white dots, the largest
the size of half dollar and the small
est about the size of dime.
The Persian borders are also quite
striking.
One look at the handkerchief coun-
ter will be enough to assure the buyer
of a unique and individual waist.

Return Of Lace RIousss.

White lace blouses are coming into
thei own again it seems. Some beau
tiful models have come from Paris,
where Worth is showing separate
blouses of white lace and chiffon with
dark skirts of two-piece suits. These
new white waists are very soft and
sheer, and. in most cases, combine two
sorts of lace: Val. and cluny or Mi
Ian; or dainty net lace with rather
heavy filet insertion.

Since the death of E. H. Hartman
his widow has received, it is said,
5000 begging letters, with a total of
$120,000,000 as the amount of money
asked for. Those letters must give
airs. Hartman much food for enter
tanning thought. Some of the letters
she answers, and to some of them
she has made liberal responses, but
the majority of course go unanswer-
ed. 1t is a glorious privilege to have
lots of money to give away, where in
the opinion of the benefactor it may
do the most good, bring the most
pleasure, brighten the most lives.
