THE ORIGIN OF
SEARCHED COLLARS

Starch was never heard OF In Eng
land until after Queen Elizabeth
came to the throne. This statement
may sound a little startling but 1t
Is quite true, nevertheless.
Elizabeth's father. bluff King Hal,
was the first English monarch to
wear any sort Of neckband. That was
very plain, about an inch in depth,
made of lace. Yet only 80 years la
ter an author of the times-Henry
Peachman-writes:
He is not gentleman, nor in the
fashion. whose band of Italian work
standeth him not at least three to
four pounds. Yea, a seamstress in
Holburn told me that there ares some
of three score pounds apiece!"
Fancy paying such a sum as s720
a dozen for ones collars!
The origin of the present starched
collar was the ruff. In the year 1864
Queen Elizabeth first used a coach.
Her coachman came from Holland.
He was man named Boenen and
his wife brought with her from that
country the art of clear starching.
Soon afterwards certain Madame
Dinnghen came from the Neither
lands and started a laundry with
clear starching in London. A very
good thing she made Of it, for the
daughters of worthy citizens crowded
to her to learn that art, and she
charged them s5 apiece. Five pounds
was lit Of money in those days
equal to at least EGO Of modern coin.
As soon as starching became COM
mon starched ruffs took the place
Of the thin band of lace, and. like
all new fashions throughout history,
this one ran absolutely riot.
Rufus grew so large that they had
to be supported by special wire
frames. They were worn nine inch.
es deep. Men and women adopted
them. Special implements were used
for starching them; these were
known as setting sticks" struts
and"poking sticks" The first two
were made of wood or bone, the lat.
ter of iron.
Higgings, the tailor, whose shop
was at the corner Of the Haymarket
invented patent support for rufus
and made fortune out of it. He
called 1t 'piccadili," and it is said
that this was the origin of Picadilly
Charles Is usually seen in pic
lures wearing falling band Of lace
but when ne first came to the throne
he wore the ruff. 1t was not until
the fourth year of his reign that he
took to the well known lace neck
wear.
The civil war ended this fashion
and when Charles II came he brought
with him the wig known as the per-
uke, which covered the back and
sides of the neck. The result was
that bands" of lawn such as judges
still wear as part Of their official raj
ment came into vogue.
Laced cravats followed in the time
of William and Mary to be soon su
perseded by the Stock" buckled be
hind the neck and plated in many
folds. This fashion was very Ions
lasting and we have all read how the
famous Beau Brummel would use {

tied to his perfect atisfaction.-Lon

London. Nov. 11.-Queen Victoria's
diary written during her girlhood
telling how she met Prince Albert

him, was published today by author.
ity of King George.
Many legends have been printed
concerning this strange proposal of
marriage by a girl to her cousin.
The following entry made in the di.
airy on October Is, 1889, disposes OF
these legends for all time and tells
OF the royal romance in the young
queens own words:
at about half past IL sent for
Albert to come to the closet where
] was alone, and after a few minutes
] said to him that / thought he must
be aware why | wished him to come
here and that il would make me too
happy II he would consent to what !
wished-to marry me. We embraced
each other and he was so kind, so
affectionate, l told him | was quite
unworthy of him. He said he would
be very happy, dies leben NIT dir zu
zubrigen,' and was 81 kind and
seemed so happy that | really felt
it was the happiest and brightest mo-
ment OF my life. l told him 1t was
a great sacrifice-which he wouldn't
allow. l then told him Of the neces-
sity Of keeping 1t secret except to
his father and his uncle Leopold and
to Vockmar to whom he said he
would send a courier the next day.
He also said it would be as early as
the beginning of February. | then
told him to fetch Ernest which he
did, and he congratulated US both
and seemed very happy. / felt the
happiest Of all human beings"
Tells Lord Melbourne
Victoria made up her mind to
marry Albert after six months OF
deep thought and many long tete-a-
tetes with her mentor. Lord Mel
bourne. Finally Prince Albert came
on a visit and the all important mo-
ment had arrived This is how the
queen made known her decision:
After a little pause said to Lord
Melbourne that l had made up my
mind about marrying Albert.

about the time!"
Il said | thought not for year,
which he said was too long that par
lament must be assembled in order
to make provision for him, and
that II it was settled it shouldn't be
talked about"
1T prevents any objection" says
Lord Melbourne; it had better be in
February or January, after parlia-
ment has met, not later Upon
which | observed, 80 soon?' You
are rather alarmed when it comes to
be put in this way" he said, laugh
ing. which | assured him l was not.
Then asked him If hadn't bet

in which Lord NJ. agreed.

such things are done the other way.
This made Lord NJ. Laugh

the wedding:

the cook stirs cake. the locksmith
hammers a lock. and the spinner turns

One OF the party is chosen as leader.
Then all get into circle. either sit
ting or standing. and begin exercising
according to their individual vocations.
When the leader tires of his or her
trade he or she quickly takes up that
Of the boy or girl seated to the right.
and instantly all leave off their own
trade and begin initiating the move
ments OF the right hand neighbor.
