Pretty Collars.

Pretty collars, to be worn on blouses
as well as outside the coats, are seen
now in the shops, and few are so in
tricate that they cannot be fashioned
by the girl with taste for needle
work who wants to look well but can't
afford high prices.
The outstanding frills tackled inside
low rollars are very dainty and a
charming finish to the bare neck I'M
der a coat The frillings are quite
cheap now, and you can buy them as
wide or as narrow as you wish.
An attractive round collar to be
worn with a Dutch necked blouse can
be made OF a quarter of yard of
fine batiste- One seen recently was
in the shape of a crescent moon, and
the pointed ends and side that were
laid down on the back of the blouse
were embroidered with a scallop
drawn with a 10-cent piece-just a
plain scallop, nothing more, but so
carefully and beautifully embroidered
that the stitches fairly melted to
gether.

IN all the history of their manufac-
4 ture ribbons have never occupied
so prominent and important place
in the belongings of womankind as
they do today. Old Father Time
whose daughters do not love him any
too well-allows them ribbons and
furbelows from the cradle to the
grave. From the baby ribbons which
so gayly adorned the layette to the
purple rosettes on grandmama's break
fast cap, every year in the progress
of the splendor-loving feminine one
is marked off by variations in her
ribbon adornments.
Certain ribbon novelties are
brought out each season, and things
that were novelties have become sta
pies, varied each year to suit new
conditions. The ribbon rose is no
longer novelty but Is shown in new
colorings and in new perfection Of
detail. Everyone must own bunch
of ribbon violets, and this season they
are made up around millinery gar
denia. Little ribbon roses in nosegays
and wreaths, in all sorts of ornaments,
are blooming everywhere. There are
vests or waistcoats of ribbon, and all
our lingerie is ribbon-decked.
In this last field the liking for rib
bon decorations has made the most
rapid strides. Baby ribbons are not
SO much used, but wider ribbons
from one to one and half inches
are made up into bows and rosettes,
and any number of pendant pieces, to
be sewed or pinned, on to undermus-
Inns.
The next step naturally will be rib
bons made up in the body of small
garments. Alternating rows Of rib
bon and lace, ana very wide soft rib
bons, already are used in making dain-
ty corseE covers

The bright brocaded ribbons are so
well adapted to making ribbon bags
that many new and lovely models are
brought out by designers, who are in
| spired By the beauty of the ribbons.
| Bags for all purposes are made. A
very handsome party bag is shown in
the picture, made of white brocade.
It is cut after the fashion Of old-time
purses and has two compartments.
One OF these viii carry slippers and
the othar fam, gloves and other things
that are required. 1t is provided with
two covered rings for handles and fin
ished with Chenille fringe. There are
any number of bags of brocaded and
printed ribbons made in different
ways for the same purpose.
The latest addition to the cap fam
lily is the Tango Cap, made of ribbon
and lace in one OF the Tango shades,
which are about like the nasturtium
yellows- 1t is bedecked with short
floating ends of ribbon and keeps the
hair in place during the strenuous
time of the dance The tango is real
ly romp to music and will develop
the need OF small caps as it grows
popular
OF all the adouiments for which
ribbon is used, ribbon flowers, and
pre-emine1ltly ribbon roses, remain
the most wonderful and beautiful. 1t
is a case OF the defsign fitting the ma
teriai to perfection Ribbons are the
roses among woven fabrics in them
selyes-the queen of all others.
These little accessories are well
worth while, for 1t is remarkable how
a pretty adomment of this kind will
capture and hold the attention and
make a plain costume appear quite
splendid.

STOCK ARGUMENTS

Revenue Argument.-When the peo-
pie decide that the truth is being told
about the alcoholic liquor trade the
money value will not count, for con-
science aroused puts the value of a
man above all other things.-National
Liquor Dealers journal.
personal Liberty."-This argument
loses more and more of it's force. Con
sideration OF the public welfare con-
tinues to grow and overshadow the
rights of the individual. The drink
question must be fought out upon the
ultimate foundation of morals,
hygiene and social order-ih other
words, the public welfare. If the pub
lie welfare requires the suppression
Of the alcoholic drink traffic, it SHOULD
be pressed-American Brewers

shrunk before they are cut. The best
behaved young man will forget all
about caring for his clothes and romp
as freely in white linen as in khaki.
Little boys are less conscious of their
clothes than little girls, and much
soap and water falls to the lot of their
apparel Therefore their clothes are
to be made easy to wash and iron.
The problem that confronts the
mother is that of teaching her son to
wish to be clean and neat looking
without interfering with his romping.
There is only one way, it seems, and
that is to provide him with plenty of
plain, strong. well made suits like
that shown here, in order to provide a
fresh one with the recurrence of his
need for 1T
Very little material will make a

strength OF the blouse and also some

belt are usually in a contrasting pat

ed with collar, cuffs and belt in plain
fabric. Or a plain blouse is finished
with these accessories in plaid OF fig.

After all, II does not require great
deal of work to keep a little fellow
presentable enough. Summer and
winter he wears a union suit, a waist
to support his stockings and pants, his
shoes and blouse. In cold weather
he is protected from the cold when he
is out (Which should be considerable

RUSSIAN BLOUSE

LITTLE FELLOW

n LOTHES for little boys-small and
~ active youngsters from three to six
years old-have not changed much in
design for many years. This is be-
cause they have been cut and made to
suit his needs, and it transpires that
nothing could look better than the
Russian blouse suits which protect
and adorn the body OF the most rest
less and frolicsome and daring of
young animals
Therefore suits for little boys are to
be made in two pieces and of plain
and durable materials. Small knee
pants, put together to hold against
the strain of play and battle, and the
easy-ftting, well-cut Russian blouse
such as appear in the illustration
