NEWEST IDEAS IN NECKWEAR
White Net in Combination With Other
Materials Is a Touch Sent Over
Here from Paris.

White net is most favored of the
materials in display of newly i'm
ported neckwear from Paris Plain,
plated or embroidered, it looks dainty
and fresh and it is combined with any
and all Of the other materials. A
favored device is an edging of perfect
ly plain lawn around a collar, f1chu
or jabot Of the net. while more pre-
tentious articles edge the plain net
with figured net or lace of a fine and
neat pattern.
One real novelty is a combination
collar and jabot. The collar is the
regulation soft turned down affair Of
embroidered linen handkerchief linen,
and from each side Of it hangs half a
jabot-not a side frill but real jabot
shape. The two halves differ in fab
ric and design, one being Of the hand
kerchief linen with solid embroidery
and the other consisting largely Of
lace insertions. These just meet down
the center of the front of the bodice.
A large f1chu of white net has its
fronts delicately embroidered In a
sprawling flower design and has a mar
row edging of figured net.

anything else, and ii the lace sleeves

Ordinary Girls Sled.

rearward, which will materially add to
the speed of the sled when coasting
down a hill.
Fig. shows an ordinary girls sled,
which is made into flexible or dirigi-
BILE sled. The top part of the runners.
shown in dotted lines. is cut OF on
a level with the seat and the ends are
fastened together with a transverse
bar a, made of iron or wood. From
this bar. and fastened thereto, are
bars b, one on each side of the seat
and parallel Herewith. These bars
are fastened to all the standards of
the sled. On the front bar is fastened
steering lever c, which is fulcrumed
by the MISUNDERSTANDING arms d
to the front part of the seat of the
sled. It is now evident that when the
operator wishes to steer to the right.
he presses the lever with the left foot,
and vice versa. AS the steering lever
is thus moved. it will be noticed that
it moves the transverse bar to one
side or the other, thereby curving the
runners In the same direction. which
will then follow smoothly In the
curved tracks.
It will be noticed from the plan
view, Fig. 2. that the end standard Is
bolted to the seat of the sled, and
that the other two standards are not,
so as to allow a free movement of the
runners when operated upon by the
steering lever.

The young doctor drew in a great
breath of country air. The garden at
the rear Of the old home in which he
was to spend his vacation was a mass
Of scented flowers. Roses, zenias
dahlias all clustered about like little
Joyous souls rowing in the moonlight.
A refreshing rain had cooled the
air. and because the night was beau
tiful. and the doctor young, his
thoughts turned toward the girl to
whom his heart had lately responded
Because his mind was in a chaotic
condition regarding the depth of his
feeling toward Rose Langdon. DR..
Emery had come to the solitude of the
old manor house on Long Island.
His thoughts, for the moment bent
chiefly on the beauty of the night,
were easily interrupted. He paused
and listened.
In the walled garden next door q
soft swishing sound made regular har.
mOny to his ear. He drew nearer the
wall and looked over through a clump
of bushes. His eyes opened wide AID
he leaned cautiously away from the
moon rays.
Was she a wrath or a blood and
bone girl who trailed back and forth
over the rain-soaked grass: Dr.
Emery, so completely startled ont Of
his everyday, humdrum city life, could
not definitely answer the quention.
He watched with fascinated attention.
The girls attire was white and
clingy and traily, and as she moved
across the long grass her bare feet
peeped forth. Those little feet found
a pool Of water left by the recent
rain. and gleeful chuckle fell from
the girls lips.
"lnsane!" muttered the young doc
tor. by Jove! What a pity-she is
as beautiful as the lilies
"They toll not, neither do they
spin." thought the doctor, and the
pity dropped out of his thoughts, the
girl seemed so absolutely happy, so
evidently joyous in this condition Of
the mind. After humming few notes
