NECkBANDS ARE MANY
BLACK MALINE PROBABLY THE
MOST POPULAR.
Need Not Be Much of an Expense, as
IL Can Easily Be Made at Home
Jet characterization AZ
ways Right.

Black maline neckbands with rhine
stone slides and motifs are among the
becoming neck accessories which the
collarless gowns have made popular.
Any girl with average ingenuity can
copy one Of these neckbands in an
hours time and at a fraction Of the
price charged in the shops To be
sure, the rhinestone slides will not be
set in silver and the pendant may be
an inexpensive earring of the laval
liere style.
There are usually four slides which
hold the malines in place. Two OF
those come together at the back where
the ends of the neckband meet and the
other slides are adjustable, though
usually kept at point just in front of
the ears. This leaves a plain strip of
the malines directly in front, where
the principal part of the decoration is
arranged.
On the costly neckbands there is
usually a large silver motif set with
rhinestones, from which is suspended
a silver and rhinestone pendant. This
arrangement is decorative and becom.
ing, and fortunately is capable OF
clever imitation
The height of the neckband is en-
tirely governed by the length of the
Wearer's neck. Something less than
two inches is a good average width,
and the malines must be folded three
or four times before any decoration is
attempted.
10 give the irmness of the silver
mounted rhinestones slides the home
made neckband must be held upright
by means of the finest of collar bon
ing placed on the inside of the band
just where the rhinestone nailheads
are to be sewed on the outside. By Sc
lecting small separate rhinestones and
using two vertical rows the collar bon
Ing will be easily concealed and the
malines held upright.
A bowknot design is excellent to
choose for the center motif, or the
rhlnestones can be sewed on between
the two slides in the form of a festoon.
With the wide assortment of beautiful
mock jewel earrings there will be no
trouble in making a suitable pendant
by simply twisting off the part which
would identify it as an earring. mex
pehsive lavallieres are also to be found
well suited for this purpose. The meet
ing OF the band is under two closely
placed simulated slides, tiny hooks
and eyes being used and the uprights
of collar bone keeping the malines in
place.
The fancy for jet has led to the de-
signing of striking combinations of
white maline neckbands with slides
and ornamental motif of cut let.
Similar decorations of jet have also
been used on neckbands of malines in
various pale shades to match certain
gowns.
When upturning lace Is used as a
neck finish in the back the neckband is
convenient as we'll as ornamental. The
lace can be caught with fancy pins on
each side of the back, the securely
fastened neckband insuring the proper
position of the lace

WOMAN KILLS SELF
JUMPS IN FRONT OF TRAIN AT
WAUWATOSA.
Body Badly MangIed-Victim IdentI.
neo as Florence lie Feber-Sup-
posed to Have Been Insane.

WauWatosa.-The body of the
young woman who threw herself in
front of Milwaukee road passen ger
tram at Wauwatosa was identified as
tnat OF Miss Florence LIE Feber. "a
west Main street, daughter of
Abram LIE Feber, one of the wealth
lest men in the suburb.
The Identification was made in an
unusual way. A brother, Edward LIE
Feber, fearing from her continued
absence that the unfortunate woman
was his sister, came to the morgue
Hearing that the body was horribly
mangled he refused to view the re-
mains, but examined the clothes she
had worn. The white sweater. that
was the distinguishing feature of the
Woman's clothing, he said was his.
She also wore a gray sweater which
he identified as her own. This COM
pleted the Identification and arrange
ments were made to have an under
taker remove the body.
The cause for the suicide of the
young woman was explained by lie
Feber as insanity caused by nervous
breakdown. She left home without
saying anything to other members of
the family as to her destination.
Throughout the day they awaited her
return and when the news came Of
the dead woman dressed in white the
family knew who the victim was.
Miss Florence LIE Feber was 20
years old and graduated from the
Milwaukee Normal school about six
years ago. She was born in Wauwa-
tosa, where her family has been
prominent for several decades. After
she received her certificate as a
teacher, she obtained a position in
the Hawley road school in Wauwa-
tosa, where she taught for several
years. About two years ago she left
Wauwatosa to take a class in the
public school at Grand Rapids, Wis.
Later she went to Minneapolis and
taught in the Sheridan Road school
in that city
Early in 1913 she had fallen down
a fight of stairs in the Minneapolis
school and was badly hurt. She re-
manned in a hospital for several
weeks and when discharged as cured
suffered severe headaches and be-
came morose and respondent.
The suicide of the young woman
was the second in the family in four
years. In 1910 Clarence LIE Feber,
brother, ended his life by shooting
himself He also was supposed to
have gone insane

Furniture Chanues-

One sign of the present day crowd
Ing into tiny apartments by city peo-
pie is seen in the secondhand furni-
tqre stores, says the Christian Science
Monitor. In almost all of them excel
lent pieces may be found, often hard
ly worn. They are there because
when family moves from one fiat
to another certain articles prove to be
useless and others have to be bought
to take their place. This sends to the
secondhand store things which would
once have been cherished in homes
for generations.

Observation-Disclosures and shot at
by man who entered his Office at
Park Falls, Wis, George w. Campbell,

Of this city, narrowly escaped death.
One of the six bullets fired struck
Campbell in the abdomen and the
wound is regarded as serious. The

that Campbell was not killed. He was

the last struck Campbell in the abdo-
men, infiicting wound which physi-
clans believe is serious from the fact
that infection can easily set in because
Of the nature and location Of the in

Campbell moved rapidly while the
man was emptying his sun at him, at
tempting to get at his assailant. He
reached the man as the sixth shot
was fired and OverpoWered him, just
as employees in the other offices rushed
in.
According to a report reaching here,
the men procured a rope and were
upon the point Of attacking the man
when Campbell, although weak from
the wound and excitement, rushed be-
tween the men and their intended vic
tim and saved his life.
Campbell was taken to his home and
physicians were Immediately sum
moned.
What prompted the man to attempt
to kill Campbell is not known def

best known lumbermen in northern
Wisconsin. He is in charge of one OF
the most extensive numbering and log
ging camps in the northwest, employ
ing upward of 400 men during the win,
ter season.

with light coat suit, many of which
will be of gray velvet or duvetyne, or
delicate afternoon shades. The coat
of the suit will be a Russian blouse
also, and barely cover the under
blouse When it is removed the ef-

Is designed for a formal gown that
will serve for many evening affairs
as well as afternoon functions.
