fRlLLS FOR THE NECK
REMARKABLY DAINTY IDEAS
HAVE BEEN EVOLVED.
Beads Are to Play Large Part In the
styIes-Popular High olrdle Of All
Sorts Of Materials and
Designs.

Dainty, frllly, dashing. capricious,
mischieyous-get out the adjective box
In speaking Of the seasons new neck
wear! First OF all, OF course, we have
the organdy collars, with their founda-
tion of a yestee. Some OF these are
run through the neck with inch-wide
black ribbon and others-some very
new ones-are bound with a bit OF
color-rose, blue or lavender.
Among the most charming Of late
devices Is a rather elaborate bit whose
tiny yoke. set on with French knots in
light blue, is repeated In a wide belt
intended 10 show with the open jacket.
This belt, Of course, is a very frugal
one and extends only across a short
portion OF the front Il Is set on by a
little laee-edged frill which gives add
ed piquancy TO the accessory.
Among the simplest and most charm.
Ing effects found In blouses is that In
which the neck is simply gathered on
a cord whose ends are of course bead
ed
We say, Of course, because II is re-
markable TO note the part played by
beads In summers smart neckwear
Here, for instance. slipped under a
hem-stitched Gladstone collar OF white
Georgette crepe is a black velvet rib
bon supporting ring, from which dan.
gle a number of long colored beads.
When, too, there is simply a cord
slipped under this ubiquitous collar,
the ends are almost invariably strung
with some brilliant bit of glass.
The popular high girdle Is the ac.
cessory upon which we haRg at pres
ent many Of our smartest styles.
There are girdles TO which are at.
tached little tunlcs jutting out reck-
lessly from the short coat Of the sea
son. There are girdles of delicate.
toned tadeta which come with their
dainty panniers all ready for wear
with the lingerie frock. There are
girdles with suspenders and there are
girdles which are cutaway in points
like a waistcoat.
For conservative wear, that high
accessory Of black moire with its sur
mounting ruching and its row of fan.

yond doubt the favored bit of betting.
Add it to the simple blouse of Geor.

and see how far this modlsh bit Of silk
goes in bringing up the average of
style.

scenes at the ambassadors, the real
generous applause that had followed
her two songs. All, how that man
Paderewsh played! They two had
cost the ambassador eight thousand
francs. Fame and fortune! Fortune
she could understand; but fame! What
was it? Upon a time she believed she
had known what fame was; but that
had been when she was striving for
it. A glowing article in newspaper,
a portrait in a magazine, rows upon
rows of curious eyes and patter Of
hands upon hands; that was all; and
for this she had given the best Of her
life, and she was only twenty-five.
The limousine stopped at last. The
man in the Bavarian hat saw her
alight. His car turned and disappeared.

Usual Combinations.

The introduction of black and white
as an interior background has brought
about many interior designs in wall
paper and cretonne. One combina.
tion that ought to be effective is
shown by a decorator who has an
eye for adapting European ideas to
American taste. He uses wallpaper Of
oyster white in strips three inches
wide of plain and ornate finish alter
mating.
With this he uses hangings of ere,
tonne with a gray-white background
and a rambling allover pattern OF
large conventionalized floral figures
in gray and black.

erect at the center front. A band of
the jewels forms the stem of the
aigrette. The chou on the side Of the
narrow rhinestone band on the left
Is Of white maline and held by a
ball of rhinestones. On the right is a
jet bandeau, which supports at the
center front a cone of black velvet
trimmed with jet, out of which springs
an "aigrette" Of black maline. A
framework of rhinestones supports
loops and twists of pink maline in the
beautiful ornament at the bottom of
the group.

Black and White Suits.

Larger ever than the checks Of a
corporation president are the checks
Of the coat suits being much affected
for smart street wear Black and
white is the favored combination and
in both the huge checks and wide
stripes this color contrast develops
costumes that are startlingly chic and
striking. 1t is with these toilettes of
light and shade that the black shoe
has its one inning. With a costume
like this the black patent kid ostend
or colonial pump is the really smart
finish to a white silk stocking.

Buttons Covered.

Needing some buttons for sheer
white muslin dress, writes a Christian
Science Monitor reader, it occurred to
me to take some small white buttons
which are cloth-covered and come
three dozen for five cents, and cover
them with bits of the insertion with
which the dress was trimmed. The
buttons when finished were very at.
tractive and suitable for any nice
dress.

sound the keynote for the pose of the
whole body and will tend to produce
that curve which is essential to a
graceful profile.
Flesh should not be allowed to ac-
cumulate just below the base of the
neck between the shoulders. The rem.
edy is to remove the cause by keeping
the chest exaggeratedly up and out at
all times for a while.
Be sure always that the coiffure
does not interfere with the contour of
this back line. Much can be done
simply by spreading it to increase the
apparent breadth Of the neck if it is
too like pipestem, and so on. If the
cords are very pronounced at the back.
raising the head trifle may modify
the effect.

Neck Finishes.

The pointed neck opening seen on
so many blouses and gowns is becom-
ing to most women, and especially to
the woman with the short neck. The
standing ruffles and soft folds, the
soft embroidered collars edged with
frills, the ruffied fchus laid in folds
that finish and help to fill in the open
neck make it liked by women who
have heretofore avoided it.

ATLANTIC CITY. Nov. 16.-New Jer-

The copious rains Of Saturday night
and Sunday which had not entirely
ceased today, benefited the farmers OF
Eastern Pennsylvania to the extent of
millions of dollars.
From agricultural sections within n
wide radius of Philadelphia come re-
ports all of the same tenor, jubilant
and optimistic. The precipitation was

Of warm temperature, just the sort for
which the farmer had been praying
through the period of drought which
had lasted for the greater part Of three
months, with only slight and widely
separated interruptions.
The rain Soaked" into the parched
earth, and its effect was scarcely short
of magical. In many places the ground
had been baked by the prolonged dry
spell, and when plowed, with the ut
most difficulty, the powdery substance
offered small hope of terminating the
seed. AS a result of the rainfall this
condition is changed, and from every
point comes the word that the yield OF
wheat and rye promises to equal the
usual dimensions.
Streams have been replenished, for
est fires quenched and in every view
the rain has been of immense value to
the agricultural and industrial inter-
ests. Reports from various districts,
printed below, give view of the wide
extent of the benefits of the downpour.

B. AND o. WILL ANNOUNCE
ITS RATE INCREASE TODAY
New Schedule Will Become Effective
After December is.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad today
will follow the example of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company by announc-
ing a schedule of increased passenger
rates, effective after December 10. The
Baltimore and Ohio officials will file
schedule of the new tariffs with the In
terstate Commerce Commission at Wash
ington this afternoon. phe full details of
their proposed increase~wil be made pub
lie at that time
Omcials in the Philadelphia passenger
office of the Baltimore and Ohio Company
stated this morning the proposed In
creases would be virtually the same as
those announced last week by the Penn
sylyania Railroad, their chief competitor.
Almost colncident with the announce
ment that the Baltimore and Ohio is to
Join the Increased rate movement came
the news that definite opposition to the
fare increases is being planned through
out the suburban towns in this State and
along the lines of the two railroads in
New Jersey between Camden and Allan
tic City and other seaside resorts.
Business men, daily commuters and
officers in the various suburban building
and improvement associations are up in
arms over the proposed increase. The
new rates, they declare. will bring about
an influx into the city of hundreds of per-
sons who cannot afford to pay the in
creased railroad fare. The whole matter,
they say will promptly become a political
issue in every town affected, unless the
Interstate and the Public Service Com
missions block the planned increase.
Definite and well-organized opposition
has begun. but the leaders as yet are not
certain just what course they will pursue
to register their protest Mass-meetlngs
are being planned and 1t has been sug-
gested that a lively legislative fight
against legislators who favor the rail-
roads will be begun in both States.

UNION FRACTIONS
ATTITUDE ASCRIBED
TO MISTAKEN VIEW
Two Men Opposed to Sys-
tenn of Subways and Ele-
waited Blamed for Inaccu-
rate Understanding.

Interest in the attitude of Union Trac-
tion stockholders to the proposed agree
ment with the City Transit Department
and Philadelphia Rapid Transit for new
system of subways and elevated lines
has been growing as the time for the
Union Traction stockholders decision
draws near. Investigations among direc-
tors and stockholders of the Union Trac-
ton Company reveals that the opposi-
tion to the Transit Departments program
has been agitated by a small group OF
Union Traction stockholders, who are the
largest holders of stock, and that II does
not necessarily represent the attitude of
the Board of Directors,
It is charged by supporters of the plan
that two men most bitterly opposed to
the Transit Departments plans have cir
eulated inaccurate and prejudcial infor-
nation among the stockholders, Without
the approval of a majority Of stockhold-
ers in Union Traction, which is the own
er Of virtually all the franchises and
equipment used by the Philadelphia Rap
i'd Transit Company, the City Transit
Department would be forced to build COM
petinE lines.
INACCURATE UNDERSTANDING.
A letter addressed to Union Traction
stockholders by James G. Balfour and
John G. Fogelsanger. two stockholders
who have been pushing an active oppo-
sition, warned them that they would be
called upon to pay their share OF the
money for squipping the subways and
elevated lines This statement Is called
Inaccurate. According TO the plan made
public by the City Transit Department,
the Union Traction stockholders only as
sessmsnts will be those needed TO extend
the existing street car lines. This as
sessmsnt has no connection with the
Transit Department agreement The
clause providing for II was In force be-
fore the Transit Department plans were
more than rumors.
Union Traction stockholders paid only
81. 30 q share for the stock. Its par value
Is $50. They have never been asked 10
complete the payment OF s3250. At pres
ent. having paid but $3.50 a share, they
