CoIIarIess Frocks.

The girl who realizes how ex.
tremely becoming the collarless frock
has proved to be will be glad to learn
of it's continued popularity.
For this reason the high-neck ruff
fles and ruches of tulle, chiffon and
taffeta, with their small clusters of
flowers set at intervals around the
collar, will be worn when furs are dis
carded and it is necessary to have
some protection.
If one chooses to wear a collar
band, it must be unusually high. In
models from Paris the high collars
are shaped to follow the outline of
the hair back of the ears.
The little pleated frill, so dear to
the French woman, makes soft be
coming line around the face.

Plush for Winter Hats.

Il IIatters plush is expected to be
used on many Of the new fall hats,
and beaver cloth will doubtless be
seen on the tailored hat. This cloth
will probably be popular with the bust
ness women. as it wears so well, and
a hat of beaver looks trim and neat
to wear with a tailored suit. Dresden
taffeta will be much used for trim
mings, especially in the way Of large
bows.

For the Small Boy.

One OF the prettiest novelties this
season is the suit OF brown linen for
small boys. These are embroidered
with silk to match. Sailcloth is 4
practical material; 1t launders well,
holding its color. For warm weather
these are made with knickerbockers
and tunfc tops caught about the waist
with belt. Dark blue sailcloth linen
with collars and cuffs Of white II an
other pretty combination.

~
Of the attempt at command. He de-
liberately retained Jessica's hand
upon his arm and. since he must go,
led her with him.
.sYou called me, Miss CarlisleT he
questioned. Miss Floyd, let me In
troduce Miss Carlisle"
The two women bowed without Ell
fusion, Valerie Carlisle scrutinizing
Jessica with an acute attention that
seized every detail Of her appearance.
Miss Floyd, have we not metz" she
puzzled. Pardon, 1t seems SO to me-"
Probably you have met my twin
brother" Jessica suggested, gravely
self-possessed. HE is much with
Mr.. Stanton"
There was a shock OF antagonism
in their meeting gaze, as there had
been between Floyd and this girl
when he had seen her in the railroad
depot on the way to Lowell. Miss
Carlisle turned to Stanton, enlight-
ened.
"Oh, your mechanician; remem-
ber."
my friend and mechanician, yes"
he amended.
"Ah? But l am OBTAINING you-I
merely wished to ask If you had quite
recovered from your illness. When
you left us that night, / never imag-
ined you would try to race next morn
ing. And you should not have done
so; it resulted in an accident"
He opened his lips to deny that his
illness had caused the Mercury's mis-
hap, then paused. If he had not felt
the average irritability of strong man
sick, would he have quarreled with
Floyd and taken his car around the
turn at such ruinous speed? He did
not know.
'I am perfectly well, thank you,"
he answered, instead.
Indeed, am glad. Will you not
come to see us soon-you owe us
dinner call, you know"
He did not echo her delicately ex-
pectant smile, his dark face hard.
"You must believe my appreciation
of the dinner without that formality,
Miss Carlisle. I start for Indiana in
a few days." he regretted.
Her amber eyes also hardened, sud
denly and strangely; she moved step
to retire, catching up her trailing
lengths of satin and lace.
CAS- you will, of course. All; we,
found cut what car wins when you
are taken from a race, Mr.. Stanton,
as at Lowell. And you judged wrong
it was not the Duplex, but the Alta
lanta. Good night"
Stanton looked after her, amazed,
then abruptly turned his eyes to the
frank, steadfast face of Jessica Floyd.
Come out in the fresh air." he re-
quested. THAT perfume she wears
smothers one"
"Sandalwood," interpreted Jessica,
turning; she had her brothers habit
Of instantly obeying suggestion.
And as they emerged: MAY say
something interfering and imrerti-
nent?"
What right have to object to any
thing said to me? show small grace
to others"
'Then, pray do not go near Miss
Carlisle just before race"
He stopped short on the sidewalk.
"You know-you think"
II know only what Jes knows" she
declared "But think that Miss Car
Isle is not good for your racing. Some
people are naturally unlucky in1u-
ences, perhaps"
Stanton shook his head, unbeguiled
by the pleasantly.
II understand what Floyd believes,
but it Is impossible, absurd. Besides,

TAFFETA WITH BROWN FUR
Effective Combination Of Materials
That There 10 Little Doubt
10 to Be Popular.

A brown taffeta dress (by the way.
brown taffeta Is certainly going to DO
the right wear for the next few
months) Is trimmed with brown fur.
The cOrsage Is blOused into narrow
tafieta belt quite simply, and around
the throat lies soft cream lace col.
larette. The skirt IL also bloused
Just above the knees. over broad
band Of fur, which rises a little be-
hind, and below It the taffeta Is tied
into a careless. fiat sort Of bow. which
hangs not quite In the middle, behind.
The sleeves are long and have a
touch of creamy lace at the wrists.
With simply dressed hair. n sable
toque and big fur coat, could any
thing be more desirable or charm

homes SO much that thin gowns are
necessary?

For the School Girl.

The young girl in her teens Is pro-
verbally difficult to dress. but very
often the simplest and most sensible
solution OF the difficulty Is to copy
mother and to adhere to the tailor
made.
The fine stripes that are so fash
ionable make very suitable schoolgirl
costumes, especially In tho vague
black and gray stripes that are now
worn. The skirt is cut simply with
an apron back and front fastened
down by large buttons of the materi-
al; the coat Is short and single or
double-breasted without trimming, but
with the collar faced with gray vel
vet.
Matching the costume, the hat
should be of gray beaver, with just
one touch of color, cerise feather.

This Applies to Boys
as Well as Girls.

The girl who is brought up to be-
lieye that lie is all sunshine is like
ly to be beaten later by the storm,
of sorrow and responsibility and she
will not know how to protect herself
as will the girl who has known some
thing of hardships.
Yet it is not always the daughters
of the rich who are the spoiled dar-
lings. Many people in moderate cir
cumstances seem to feel a certain
pride in making the daughter OF
the house a lady of leisure. Every
sacrifice is made for her; she Is
shielded from every rough wind that
blows, and she reaches young wo-
manhood in weakened state and
unable to bear the burdens that are
sure to come to her.
Is it any wonder that such wo-
man when she marries should be APP
palled by the problems which con-
front her? Hitherto she has been
kept from all care She has not had
to face financial difficulties Of dome $
tic riction. When she has wanted
thing ii has been given her, even
when others have had TO sacrifice
themselves that she might be pleased
Parents who wish for the happl-
ness of the beloved child should see
TO il that she is not brought up IN
luxurious idleness. There is no
reason in the world why the daugh-
ter of the house should have break
fast in bed while her mother does
the mornings work. There is no
reason why the daughters day
should be a round Of pleasure IL
Others must labor to procure it Tor
her. OF course, all young people need
their good times. but any girl Is
healthier ard happier if she has
certain number Of duties and II she
enters into the family life as a work
ing part o. it, not merely as Ian
guild and lazy dependent.
Life is not all cakes and ale. and
the child who must sacrifice some
thing for others. who is taught the
value of money. who is taught the
dignity of labor who learns early
how TO march in tune with the uln-
verse is the one who will not lag
behind and who will not be beaten
! in life's battles.-Exchange.

GAVE TOUCH OF ORIGINALITY
How One Clever Girl Evolved In
genious Scheme That 10 Worthy
to Become . Fashion.

Seeing In the shops the tiny mar
row bands OF folded black satin. with
their long silken or heavy beaded tas
sells. used as neck finish, certain
ingenious girl added the touch Of
originality to her new afternoon gown
by making, to go with 1t, tie OF
braided folds of black satin.
The little tie was of the usual
three strand braiding. the satin strips
being very small and carefully blind
stitched along the entire length II
was long enough to 60 around the
neck and hang almost to the waist
the ends being worked into clever
little "rosette," with jet beaded
center. Another tiny medallion GOV
cred the black metal snap fastener
which held the tie together.

WILL WELCOME NEW CORSETS
Very Graceful and Comfortable Are
tho Lines That Have the In.
dorsement Of Paris.

Lower in bust than ever are the
stays. and the slOping shoulders of
the kimono sleeve and the graceful.
draped fichu are but tendencies which
pointed the way for this new figure.
Some Of the newest Partisan cor.
sets are but mere girdles above the
waist-quite frequently not reaching
to the bust. The idea Is to give one
long line shoulder to waist-a gently
sloping line with the bust as low as
possible.
But not below the waist ia the cor.
set growing shorter! Far from Il!
Longer and still longer grow
mademoiselle)s stays-One wonders
how they can be worn with comfort.
But they can, for many Of them are
not heavily boned. but beautifully
shaped and so arranged that the fig
ure may be kept slim and youthful
below the waist line.
Not below the waist line alone
however. is the figure to be youthful
but above It as we'll The high
lifted waist line. the low bust. the
slim, slOping shOnlders-all this Is
calculated to keep madame from
showing the ravages Of time-to keep
her youthful as possible.
Very comfortable, indeed, are these
new corsets, for II they hold the body
trim and tight below the waist line
they keep 1t supple and free above
the waist, allowing ease and freedom
of movement and perfect comfort.

"BOy Scouts Lining lin

A District League of Boy Scouts
is one of the new organizations in
process of formation. On Friday
evening Charles A. Marshall, who
is at the head of the movement,
with the Lovejoy School Company
as a nucleus, delivered an inspir-
ing address at the "Peace" exer-
clses at the Logan school on "The
Peace Scout pointing out the val
lie OF the spirit of patriotism that
is developed in time of peace-a
love OF country that will rally
Americans to the defense of the
flag at the first bugle call of war.
Mr.. Marshall's speech was warm
~ applauded and a sufficient num-
Der of pledges were secured to
guarantee a strong company at the
Logan school. Mr.. Marshall has
now spoken at every colored
school in the northeast and south
east sections of the city, and a Dis
trlct League is practically certain
TO grow out of his earnest agita-

Primrose Day.

Primrose day Gin England), the an
niversary Of the death of Benjamin
Disraeli, Lord Beaconsheld, had its
origin in the tribute, modest wreath
OF primroses, sent by Queen Victoria
for the funeral Of Beaconsfield. The
general impression that the primrose
was Beaconsfield's "favorite" flower
'tathe from a ding of the
words attached to the queens tribute:
IF. Victoria His favorite flower" The
public thought the queen meant that
the primrose was Beaconsfeld's ia
tYorite flower, when in truth she meant
that it was the favorite flower Of the
prince consort.
