MUCH VIRTUE IN MECKWEAR
Smart Kinds Always Look Well and
Afford Seeming Variety Where
Frocks Are Limited.

Smart neckwear every woman loves.
BY its use endless opportunities are
offered for changing an old frock into
a new one. All neck fixings have the
flare, which is supported by thin wire
or starch. Organdy is the most popu-
lar material. Fragile as 1t seems,
laundering soon restores it to its orig
lnal state Of loveliness.
High, rolling organdy collars con-
tinue to be popular. Such a collar
with a thin guimpe can be worn by
any one. The low, soft roll is very be-
coming to a full, round neck, and
new finish for these organdy soft col
lars is a half-inch tie of black net or
tulle. with long tassel of bright col
ored beads. Some fiared and pointed
organdy collars with fichulike vestee
of folds have finish inside Of fine en-
broidered edging with turret edge
resting on the neck. A small point
ed collar has fiat venfse edging two
inches wide which follows the roll Of
the collar, enlarging 1t to the usual
size. Cape effects in turnover collars
are new. Those of organdy are en-
broidered in solid outline and eyelet
work. while piques have solid embroid-
sry.
Guimpes in many cases have a YES
tee effect over the soft plastron or
gufmpe front If of embroidered pique,

VARIETY IN BLOUSE MODELS
Idea for Most Attractive Combination
That Anyone With Taste Will
Be Able to Fashion.

Some of the new and costly blouse
models are made OF white Indian mus
lin of cobweb texture, real valen.
ciennes and motifs of Maltese lace.
One of these models had loose fronts
which were crossed on the breast.
Tiny hand-run tucks appeared on the
transparent muslin. then there were
insertions of old yellow valenciennes
and these insertions and tucks were
incrusted with effective motifs of Nal
tese lace.
The combination was exceedingly at
tractive and the model was to be worn
over little underbodice made of flesh
pink chiffon. Such blouse would look
beautiful If worn in conjunction with
an afternoon gown in midnight blue
taffeta or black charmeuse. The skirt
would probably be draped and there
would certainly be picturesque coatee
which would show off the dainty
blouse to perfection.
Flesh pink chiffon Is very much
used in Paris as a lining for fine lin.
gerie blouses. The color is SO delicate
that it hardly suggests pink at all.
Nevertheless, it throws out the pat.

orlnin of Moss Rose.

A German story gives the origin Of
the moss rose as follows: Once upon a
time an angel, having mission OF love
to suffering humanity came down to
earth. Being tired, he sought place
wherein to rest, but as it Jared with
his Master, so it Jared with him, there
was no room for him, and no one
would give him shelter. At last he lay
down under the shade Of rose, and
slept till the rising sun awoke him.
Before making his way heayenward
he addressed the rose and said, as
it had given him shelter which man
denied, it should receive an enduring
token of his power and love, and so,
leaf by leaf twig by twig, the soft
green moss grew around the stem, and
there it is to this day, a cradle in
which the newborn rose may lie,
proof, as the angel said, of divine
power and love.

whose vigorous talent, as someone has
said lost its liberty to the conquer
ing genius of Michael Angelo"
Musing over my memories Of Vol
terra l find that, more vivid to me
than any of her archaeological won
ders or archaic and renaissance art
treasures, are a few stray pictures
that painted themselves on my mind,
one afternoon toward sunset as we
took OUT farewell stroll up and down
the streets of the old city.
A Gothic doorway which we came
upon at an abrupt turn in the road,
the ivy-grown arch of a ruined clois-
ter at the top of a winding flight of
steps, and the old Etruscan entrance
to the city, served each to frame sep
arate'and enchanting bit of landscape,
olive-crowned hills sloping down TO
the sea, with here and there some
ruined castle; in the distance the
snowy Carraras out of which Michael
Angelo hewed the marble for his Mos
es; and, far off on the horizon, where
ocean and sky seemed to lose them
selves in mystical union, the island of
Elba like lost ship on a sea of gold.
AS our little company passed gayly
through the gate l thought of other
professions that had passed that way
in all those changing centuries; OF
Florentine hosts forcing their way
through to pillage the city in the time
of Lorenzo the Magnificent; of Roman
armies marching on Volterra when she
was one of the original capitals OF
Etruria and held her own against the
world; and, farther back in the dim
recesses Of history, of those solemn
professions Of Etruscans carrying bod
les to the tombs outside the city walls,
burying their dead with those mute
symbols of belief in life beyond the
grave, which today, after forty cen
'uries, still witness to that inborn faith
in immortality which links this van
ished race In a common bond of hope
with the people of every age and
cline.
Turning for an instant to look back,
l saw the ancient gateway was franz
ing another picture-perhaps the fair
est we had seen-for the last rays Of
the setting sun rested on the heads of
two young lovers, coming slowly
down the winding streets of the old
city, dreaming their dreams of the fu-
ture, while we talked on the buried
past

SHAPED MUSLIN COVER
USEFUL FOR PROTECTION or
FOOD IN HOT WEATHER.
Best Material for the Purpose Is Of
Fine Mesh With a Border Of
Heavy Beads That VIII Keep
II From Blowing on.

A thin cover is necessary for cover
ing over basins, jugs, or any article
containing food and liquid during the
summer time.
The cover should be such as to ad-
init the air, yet It must keep out flies,
dust, or any other foreign matter.
The best material for this purpose
is fine muslin; II can be bought very
cheaply, and several covers can be
made from half yard.
Round shapes are easily obtained
by turning a basin upside-down on
the muslin and marking round It with
pencil; different sizes will be needed,
and different articles can be used to
mark out with, such as cups, glasses,
etc.

indicated in the sketch. This border
is essential, otherwise, the covers

act as weights, and as they are equal.
ly distributed all round the muslin,
Il is kept exactly in place.
When the circle has been hemmed
round, take some very coarse crochet
cotton; commence on the border by
making three buttonhole stitches.
Now thread on one, two or three
beads, allow about an inch and half
Of cotton to hang loose, and go into
the edge Of the cover again with three
buttonhole stitches, then thread more
beads and proceed all the way round,
The beads should be rather large
and OF the heavy variety those sold
in links do splendidly; the links cost
very little and contain a good num-
Der; all kinds of pretty colors can be
had
These covers are most useful for
covering over milk jugs, basins, unset
iellies, glasses OF lemonade, etc, etc

they had been married, and he with
her. She was not Of the intellectual
type; but she was pretty and dainty,
and the face upturned under the sun
bonnet was marvelously sweet and
good-tempered.
Well! Have you two old fogies
found something remarkable" she
asked.
Henry Price was an old bachelor,
and reputed to be woman-hater. His
affection for John, whom he had known
a good many years, had managed to
survive Johns marriage. In time he
even brought himself to the point of
feeling at home when he called. But
his distrust and fear of womankind
had never left him; and then, too, he
had never overcome his feeling of
jealousy toward the woman who had
come to share Johns life.
Don't tell her, john" he whispered,
covertly. "If she knew that strawberry
was worth fortune"
81 know what you want to show me,
dear" said Minna. It's that funny
speckled strawberry, isn't it? l no
ticed it this morning"
"Yes, my dear" answered John in
choking voice. And please remember
that it is to be preserved very care
fully" But though he seemed calm
enough he was angry with Price. What
right had the old fogy insinuating that
Minna was"
He knew why he was angry. Price
had suggested that Minna was mental
ly slow. And John knew it was true
Pretty Minna Hilton was not an intel
lectual woman, though she made none
the worse wife for that
"All right Johnny" answered Minna
But | really think you might have
waited till after dinner However,
know how interested you are In the
garden"
She turned on her heel little hufily
and John surmised that she had seen
Prices nudge. Minna was not very
fond of Henry Price; she tolerated
him for her husbands sake.
John" said Price, as he stood at
the door, saying good-by, I'm sorry if
| accidentally"
20, that's all right, old man." an
swered John. His good humor was
completely restored by that time; he
never bore grudges very long.
"But, john" persisted Price, "for
heavens sake don't say word Gbout
1t to anybody. You understand, don't
you? If the story got about, what with
the interest in Bergback's expert
ments, our garden would be racked
fine as toothcomb on the first dark
night, John, you have fortune in that
single plant"
Certainly it did seem as though the
only safety lay in absolute silence. The
single fruit was invaluable. Berg
backs experiments had shown con-
'clusively that the blended strawberry
would produce fruit only from the
seed, not from the runners. And there
had been only one fruit thus grown.
The fruit was to be plucked as care
fully as though it were the last hair
from the Buddha's head, and placed in
