FASHIONABLE COLLARS.

Collars are all-important this sea

Iof pretty materials and they 60 far
toward making the smartness of the
bodice. Here are three. practically
four, for No. 3 can be made round

with the points over the shoulders
that are so well liked and the three
styles include all the prevailing ones.
As shown here, No is made of eye
let embroidery. No. is made Of ratine
and No 3 is made of Bulgarian silk
In one view and of plain silk in the
other but each one of these collars
can be treated in different ways. They
can be made of plain material and
embroidered by hand or they can be
made Of fancy material; they can be
made Of white edged with color or OF
color edged With white, and they can
be made of sheer batiste and lawn.
of linen, of the eponge that is so much
used and Of silk. White linen with
the embroidery in Bulgarian style
makes a very smart collar. White
voile with an edge of color put on
with a fancy stitch makes a very
pretty, dainty effect The highly col
ored silks that are so much used are
effective made in this way and there
ARE Bulgarian, Cubist and stained
glass designs from which to choose.
Plain colored silk or satin makes a
handsome collar, too. Sometimes they
are finished with a thin lining and
scanned edges, sometimes they are
braided and sometimes they are hem
stitched by machine.

An hours talk and the payment of
checks on account worked wonders. Be
fore many days had passed Philip was
amply provided with raiment. His
presence in the hotel, too, attracted no
comment whatever. People who saw
him coming or going instantly assumed
that he was staying with his people,
while the managers took care that gos-
sip among the employees was promptly
stopped.
AS for the ragged youth with the dia-
monds, he was forgotten, apparently
The newspapers dropped him, believing,
indeed. that Isaacstein had worked some
ingenious advertising dodge on his own
account, and Messrs. Sharpe & Smith
never dreamed OF looking for the lost

most luxurious and expensive establish
ment in London.
That afternoon Philip visited the Safe
Deposit Company. He had little diff
Guilty, OF course, in securing a small
strong room He encountered the
wonted surprise at his youth, but the
excellent argument OF a banking &C
count and the payment OF a years rent
in advance soon cleared the air.
He transferred four of his portman-
teaus to this secure environment-the
fifth was sent to his hotel When the
light faded. he drove 10 the East End,
and made a round of pawnbrokers'
shops Although some OF the tickets
were time-expired, he recovered nearly
all his mothers belongings, eNceptinG
her watch.
The odd coincidence recalled the In
spector's implied promise that he should
receive one as recognition OF his gal
lantry.
How remote, how far removed from
each other, the main events in his life
seemed to be at this eventful epoch.
As he went westward IN a hanson. he
could hardly bring himself to believe
that barely twenty-four hours had
elapsed since he travelled to the Mile
End road in company with Mrs. Wrig-
ley.
And the curious thing was that he
felt in no sense awed by the possession
Of thousands Of pounds and the tenancy
of palatial chambers in a great hotel.
His career had been too checkered. its
recent developments too stupendOus, to
cause him any undue emotion. Exist
ence, for the hour, was q species of
we'll ordered dream. in which magma
ton was untrammeled save by the need
to exercise his wits in order to keep
the phantasy within the bounds. not Of
his own brain, but Of other mems.
At the hotel he found the French
valet setting forth a shirt. The man
explained that he required g spare set
OF studs and links.

notes. but It will obllge me If you take
a check. as I may want the ready money

Receiving a faint indication that, un-

be esteemed a favor. Philip whipped out
his check book. filed in check to the
hotel. and did not forget to cross 1t

The clerk watched him with an amaze
ment too acute for words. He produced
the register and Philip signed his name.
He was given a receipt for the payment

luxury. His portmanteau followed

Do You Know

Swarms OF fish in the Mississippi
became intoxicated as a result of
the revenue officers throwing 1915
barrels Of beer into the river. The
antics OF the fish were extraordinary.
Some jumped up out of the water in
the liveliest manner, while others,
becoming exhausted, lay on the wa
ter, dazed but happy. Men and boys
caught hundreds OF pounds of fish in
baskets. The finny roysterers revived
when placed in clean water.

Then this morning Mr.. Brown. while

that he. too. was overworked. He said
