functions are always largely attended
and greatly enjoyed The most potent
social influence is the atmosphere of the
building.
No city has shown a deeper interest in

and work unsurpassed in this partic-

educational classes for the employed
boys, graded physical training for every

to build his body, mind and character,
are included in this policy.
The Young Mems Christian association
is essentially a religious institution.
Through its Bible classes, Sunday meet

as well as a channel for service This
department of the association is to be
greatly enlarged and extended another

The modern association building con-

Birmingham building has so such rooms,

to young men away from home. On each
dormitory floor is a system of shower
baths, washrooms and toilets, These
rooms are always full and the building
of the local association is already out

men become great friends, form clubs
and societies. become members of the
committees of the association and give
added life and zest to the association in

FriIls for CoIIarIeSs Gowns.

VERY few Of the new gowns have high
collars. and aside. from the suitable
ity of this fashion to warm weather the
ways in which it is presented are decid-
eddy attractive. Never has there been a
more charming fashion than that of soft
folds of net, tulle or lace to outline the
neck. These are drawn surplicelike
across the bust above filmy vest. which
is usually employed to fill in a gown
above the girdle.
There are many waist models that have
a fichu Of white cotton net drawn about
the shoulders and half way down the
front of the waist, where it meets a cross
line of cording which tops a waistcoat of
net mounted on white china silk. Lace is
not used at all in these models, SO that
tiny net fittings edge the drapery about
the throat.
Another new touch is a frilling made
of crisp white crepe. This may be bought
by the yard and may either be used as a

artificial flowers for feathers on many
Of the summer hats. The actuating mo-
tive seems to be one OF economy, for the
paradise feathers often worn cost some
times as much 500.
In line with this economy is the carry
ing OF real flowers in the banda pretty
habit always. even when fashion does
not recognize IT. The French fashion is
to carry one longs; emneG flower in
much the same way no doubt. that one
carries a parasol or fan--to lend q touch

Finally the young woman started TO
