HERE are four pieces of neckwear,

handsome enough to be valued posses
sions in any woman's stock of dress
accessories Yet the materials of
which they are made cost next to
nothing. Fifty cents or less is about
the amount which will buy thread and
braid for the handmade pieces. 1t
will certainly buy enough of the all
tractive collar and jabot, and cover
the expense of the tiny buttons of
black satin used as finishing touch
on the pretty collar at the right of the
picture
Hand work, tastefully and well
done, means elegance in dress acces-
sories. The crocheted collar is made
of three separate pieces joined to-
gether. They are an Irish lace pat
tern and not at all difficult to make.
There is an insertion an inch and a
half or little less in width and from
IL to Is inches long. depending upon
the size of the neck to be fitted. Two
wider strips of the crochet are made,
each half as long as the insertion less
one or one and fourth inches. These
pieces are finished with a scallop
about the outside edges.
When all the pieces have been cro-
cheted they are sewed together as
shown in the picture. Baby velvet
ribbon in sapphire blue, or any pre-
ferred color is run through the edges
of the insertion. This is necessary to
keep the collar from stretching at the
top. A small piece of wider velvet
ribbon in the small color is tackled in
at the front. Finally a tiny bow
made Of the crocheted insertion is
sewed to the velvet strip.
This collar should be stayed with
supports at the back and sides. 1t,
will fit perfectly, as the lace will
stretch and spread at the bottom and
adjust itself to the neck.
The pretty fichu is made of renafs-
sance braid and floss, with three small
lace medallions inserted: one at the

Speaking of brevity, William F. Gar

letic committee, said recently that the
palm should be awarded to marine

simple-minded people that he could
not resist the temptation.

queried.
Willie started, and his hand crept

former speaker. "He breaks trainin',

"Playin' what?" queried Slower.
"Diabolo! He backs himself, OF

Glass took an imaginary spool from
his pocket, spun it by means of an
imaginary string, then sent it aloft and
pretended to catch it dexterously. The
cowboys watched him with grave, un-
comprehending eyes.

Stover uttered an exclamation of
astonishment, whereupon~ the New
Yorker grew even bolder.

"Sure!" Glass winked at him, glad
to see that the Californian enjoyed

the man in spectacles, seriously. "And

praise of his rival, afforded a diver
sion. The tenor had leaned back, con
vulsed with enjoyment when, losing
his balance, he came to the floor with
crash. The sudden sound brought
terrifying result, for with a startled
cry the undersized cowman leaped as
il touched by living fame. Like a
flash of light he whirled and poised on
his toes, his long, evil-looking revolver
drawn and cooked, his tense face vul

For the Stout Girl.

There is little enough in present-day
styles tn bring happiness to the stout
woman. Her hips are a constant
source of worry, in spite Of the fact
that her waist is just in style And
when she surveys the filmy chiffon
and lace underbodies and the corsets
that end at the waist she is filled with
dismay.
But the brassieres of heavy all-over
embroidery, reinforced with removable
bones under the arms and in front
and back, with stout tapes to hold
them down at the waist, are a real
boon, to the plump woman. They are
really dainty and attract at the
same time they are substantial and
seryiceable.

tab at the front. A little study of the
picture will show how effectively the
fine braid has been managed so az
to make a snowy neckpiece without
spending a great deal of time. Such
an accessory worn with tailored suit
converts 1t into quite dressy affair,
especially II a pretty hat is worn at
the same time.
Lace fichus are very smart and fash
ionable, as also are those of net, fine
embroidery, batiste and machine-made
laces.
The next collar is of all-linen,
machine-made Cluny. 1t is made in
two sections set together with mar
row Cluny insertion. Those who know
how to make the lace will find this an
easy copy to follow. But in this par

wavered again, when Berkeley Fresno,
