EIowered Chiffon Linlnns.

The prettiest coat lining of the mo-
ment is certain fowered ninon. For
some reason or another this has never
had real run for dresses. Fiowered
fabrics are apt to be little difficult,
not having enough Of the subtle quail
tiles we sum up in the one word
"wearable." But as a lining, only re-
vealed now and then flowered chiffons
have a picturesque value not to be
overlooked or ignored, and especially
when chosen las, of course, they
would be-, with a view to the color

would be in keeping. For the soft
caplike hat this broche crepe de chine
is admirable, the soft dome crowns
which are flannel lined, being very
picturesque in 1t.

CARE OF TAILORED CLOTHES
Especially important II Wearer Would
Get the Best Results for Money
Expended.

The value of taking proper care OF
tailored clothes is seldom fully real
ized, but It is really almost as impog-
tant as the proper cut. A tailored
suit should be thoroughly brushed as
soon as it is taken off, especially the
bottom Of the skirt aud the collar Of
the coat The coat should be put on
padded hanger, which in turn
should be hung on a pole in the clos
ct, so that the garment will not come
in too close contact with anything
else. The skirt should be hung by
two tapes placed at each side of the
belt, or else clenched by trousers
hangers. In the latter case the waist
band of the skirt should be folded
in half and the hangers closed over
it.
Pressing and repairing are equally
important. A wrinkled suit is shorn
Of its style, and one with loose skirt

ing is beyond the pale. When more
than just stitch is needed a small
tailor should be employed.
Such details as these are all-inl-
portant from an economical stand.
point, as they preserve the suit and
give the well groomed air that is SO
essential to smartness.

CALLS W0ODPECKERS INSANE
Because Birds Store Pebbles Instead
Of Acorns Professor Says They
Are Insane.

San Francisco, Cal.-The woodpeck-
ers of Sonoma county are suffering
from a mild form of insanity, accord.
ing to a learned and erudite document
Issued by the museum OF vertebrae
zoology of the University Of California.
The document says:
THE reason why Callfirnia wood
peckers In the vicinity of Sonoma
mountain would have stored pebbles
instead Of the customary acorns is a
mystery. We know that instinct
works as automatically as an alarm
clock In the failure Of an acorn crop
It would seem possible that the wood
peckers might instinctively store some
other available kind of food, but to
have chosen stones instead of food
carries the analogy too far. 1t seems
as though any bird with the intelli-
gence of the California woodpecker
which would make the same mistake
ought to be classsd as insane"

Low COLLARS WITH JABOTs
Idea Of Fashion That Has Much to
Recommend II in Its Dainty Ap-
pearance.

Second in position to the low col.
1ars are low collars with jabots, says
the Dry Goods Economist. Many of
the styles that are taking the best,
bear marked resemblance to the low
lRobespierres of the last season, but
ths term was 80 overdone then that
1T is rarely heard now The differ
ience, however, lies in the shaping Of
the collar and the jabot. Some of the
most striking of these low collars
with jabots have the collar portion
with extremely deep shoulder points
and fatty plated broad jabot. Many
of the best sellers are finished simply
with dainty hemstitching. Among
the favored materials for the collar
portion are plain and brocaded silk,
crepe de chine, voile, linen, crepe and
met. For the jabots, net and shadow
lace are liked. In some instances the
entire collar is made Of the same ma
terial, the jabot portion being plated
and either hemstitched or lace
trimmed.
