The FIRST RAISE.
By Ruth Cameron.

Tell me what man does with his first
raise a successful financier used to say
to me. land l will tell you If he has any
chance for becoming rich man."
The other day l happened to be present
at the family councils Of certain young
couple when the husband announced that
he had just received raise of $40 a
month.
The little wife. who is an enthusiastic
young person, clapped her hands like a
child and cried. "Oh, Frederick, then we
can have that nice apartment we wanted
That was just SO a month more. I'll
go around tomorrow and see If it is still
vacant. Oh. say we may"
At this prompt C'-posal OF his hard
earned raise. Frederick. who Is the COM
mon sense OF the partnership. looked a
trifie dubious, but the enthusiastic little
person was ready for him with dozen
advantages, such as that the kitchen was
cooler and more conveniently arranged,
and that the house was 30 near the river
that they would be able to have a canoe
and go out on the river hot summer even
ings. This last bit of diplomacy was q
telling stroke. and before I left Fred
erick was evidently considerably more
than half persuaded.

AS fast as ever they could Peter Rab-
bit and Baby Possum ran away from the
Laughing Brook, where Snapper the
Turtle was holding Reddy Fox fast by
the tail. On. on they ran through the
Green Forest. and always Peter RapDlt
kept watching behind for fear that Reddy
Fox might have gotten away and be fol-
lowing them. Baby Postum was SO tired
and SO out of breath that he could hard
ly walk when they met Prickly Perky the
Porcupine. Baby Postum had never met
him before and Prickly Porky was such
a oueer-looking fellow that Baby Pos
sum was afraid and started to climb a
tree.
Hi. Baby Possum. What are you
doing that for?" shouted Peter Rab-
bit
Because Ah'm little mite skeery.'
said Baby Postum.
Peter Rabbit laughed. "Prickly Porky
won't hurt you. Besides, it wouldn
help you any to climb tree, for he can
climb just as we'll as you can. In fact,
he lives most of the time in the tree
tops" said Peter Rabbit
Baby Postum stopped climbing and
then very slowly he slid back to the foot
of the tree and eyed Prickly Perky doubt
fully. Prickly Porky smiled, and when
Baby Postum saw Prickly Porky'S long
teeth Baby Postum was more frightened
than ever, and backed away hurriedly.
But just then they heard footsteps pat
tering over the dry leaves and there was
Reddy Fox hurrying along with his nose
to the ground in the tracks of Peter Rab-
bit and Baby .Possum. His tongue was
hanging out and he was painting 10;

Does it mean the possession Of some

If YOU value the gifts nature has be-

broidery needle with discretion.
Always remember not to sit facing the

little fine lines in your forehead and about

and weary look.
Don't do too much fine embroidery,

Don't let yourself get into the habit
of sitting in ungraceful positions while
you sew. for if you do. after a while you
will assume that position at other times
and spoil the charm that belongs TO a

Again. it is absolutely necessary that
YOU lay aside your needle at night. Ar

A mousauetaire collar and cuff set is
shown among the cuts on the page to-
day. The collar and cuff set is made of
white leather mounted on black silk. The
fastening is effected by means of small
straps of white leather and small white
enamel buckles.
Narrow cravats and little fat bows of

AT one shop they are showing many
so-called tailored shirt waists which bear
but little resemblance to the stout. serv-
iceable garment once designated by that
term These waists are made of the finest
and silkiest of lawns, an expensive i'm
ported material which is lOvelier than
fine handkerchief linen.
The daintily tucked sleeves are outlined
by veining and the tucked cuffs are set
on in the same way. finely tucked
shoulder yoke or band is also set on with
beading, and there is no more trimming.
The waist really has a tailored severity,
but this, is softened to mere simplicity
by the filmy fineness of it.
There is an attached collar made Robes
pierre style and finished at the front
with a four-in- hand of black velvet or
black or colored silk tie or by some form
Of jabot.
There are also palmer. more severe
shirts of white silk or linen made with
Robespierre collar. An attractive white
china silk blouse was made much on the
lines of a mans shirt. There was a
Robespierre collar with flowing points.
At the front of the blouse and at the
lower edge of the long. close fitting sleeves
were plated frills of net Small glass
buttons trimmed the blouse front and
sleeves.

The center of interest with regard to
summer neckwear seems to be the Robe
sphere collar. Everywhere one finds the
Robespierre-in one form or another
and most of the new tailored coats and
autumn blOuses are picturesque1y Robe
sphere at the neck. This name of Robe
sphere is applied recklessly to all the
new collars that open in at the
front and have flowing points at either
side, but little delving into fashion an
nails of the directoire days will disclose
the fact that to many other notable char
acters of the period should be given the
credit for some of the dashing collar eff
fects now being brought out. Had Robe
sphere really originated them ALL, that
picturesque figure of the old French aris-
tocracy would have been far too busy
evolving fashions to concern himself
greatly with politics. Included in the
kobespierre styles are collars affected by
Rche.ieu. Marceau, Lord Byron-even by
colonial Observation-Disclosures, whose folded
neckcloths ana immaculate linen stocks
are features of every American portrait
gallery.
The French neckwear in this graceful
new style is exceedingly fine and dainty,
and the flowing collars Of sheer hand
kerchief lawn with trimmings of hand
lawn and exquisitey fine plated jabots
are beautifully fashioned, as conspicuous
and ultra picturesque styles have need
to be to insure distinction. The fam
boyant collars and jabots of lawn inset
with cheap lace insertions on the bargain
counters are not as attractive, and one
feels that these overdone RObespierre
styles. with collar points that flap about
on the shoulders and cuffs that reach al
most to the elbow, will soon be the death
of the directoire neckwear vogue, which
i'm it's best expression is one of the most
charming fashions ever revived from a
picturesque past.
The combination of white linen and black
satin or taffeta is very practical for
wear with simple fall blouses, and these
combinations are legion. Black silk col
lars turn over on snowy plated jabOts OF
lawn: and lawn or linen collars turn over
on trim folded stocks Of black satin.
Hemstitched edges, prim plaitings and
rows of small buttons with simulated but
tailored suggestion to these collars. One
attractive model is made Of black taffeta
and lace. The collar of black taffeta Is
made Robespierre style and turns down
over a jabot of fine shadow lace. Small
white pearl buttons fasten the friil to the
collar at the lower edge. Another smart
collar in black and white effect Is made
with a high stock of black taffeta, the
front part of which is cut away in round
ing corners showing an inset of fine
white lawn. The black and white tabs
at the front extend almost to the waist
line.
There are graceful broad collars of
hand embroidered handkerchief linen
