FAT MAN FOR THE BARBER
Wielder of the Razor Declares II
Takes Longer to Shave the Thin
Individual.

as it easier to shave a fat man than
thin one?" Don't be afraid to ask
your barber this question. He will con-
slider it a perfectly legitimate query,
and nine times out of ten will answer
in favor of the fat man.
A barber who has been lathering and
shaving faces of all types for the last
20 years said recently: Il would rather
shave a fat man than a thin one any
day. o. course, / haven't any choos-
ing. | have to take them all as they
come. But a stou mans face is fuller,
and therefore it is easier to pass over
with the razor. A barber has to be
more careful in shaving the man with
a thin face. 1t is a harder proposition,
and it seems, somehow or another, that
his beard becomes stronger than the
fat mans.
People who are in hurry often
leave the shop when they see fat
man get in the chair in front of them.
They think that it will be long job,
while, on the contrary, it doesn't take
as long to shave him as it would thin
man"
The barber who shaved Little Will
lie," Philadelphia's latest fat man,
who weight 455 pounds. never COM
planned about the job, and moreover
never charged him any more than
any other customer.-Philade
Ledger.

PEsT WAY TO MAKE COLLAR
Wire Plays Rather Important Part In
the One Described-The
Proper Lines.

This season collars and neckwear
generally will play an important part
in feminine attire, for the final touch
OF sma1tness that stamps gown as
up to date can be achieved almost en-
tirely by the manner in which 1t ia
finished off at the throat
The medici collar in a modified form,
made smaller and lower at the back
than was the case when it first came
into fashion, will be first favorite,
These collars are by no means SO diff.
ficult to make as they appear, the
simplest method being to take about
three-quarters of q yard of fine Lace,
three or four inches in depth, and
tuck off to mere nothing at the top
that is, an inch or SO from the outer
edge. This tucking draws the lace
into the correct curve. The corners
need to be neatly rounded of, and
then fine silk-covered wire is lightly
stitched into place, one piece running
along the top, another half way, the
third at the bottom edge, and, last,
four or five wire spokes are used to
keep the whole concern in position.
The bottom wire, by the way, should
be run inside narrow casing of net
or silk, which forms a band to tack
along the neck of N blouse Oh gown

Regretted Lost Time.

French convicts may earn large In
comes. The following is a case in
point: Pere la Capinette murdered a
man in a jealous passion quarter of
a century ago, and was sent 20 New
Caledonia. A commission was recent
ly sent out to inspect the convict
prison and inquire into the government
lands that are allotted 90 convicts who
are released for good conduct. They
found Pere la Capinette, white-naired,
benevolent, and venerable with his
seventy years, surrounded by his sons,
whom he had brought from France,
He showed the commissioners over the
coffee plantation on which he had set
tied after his release. Il am making
$4,000 year now" he explained, and
then he added. with sigh, If only l

REMODEL Old FRock
FASHION FOR ONCE HAS A LEAN
ING TO ECONOMY.
Made-over Gown Strictly in Style, and
There Are Many Ways by Which
Desirable Results Nay Be
Achieved.

Madam of the passe gowns, hers
is secret which as one woman to
another | will whisper into your ear.
weary with many sad tales of remod-
eled costumes.
This is a season when remodeling is
not only possible, but which positively
cries aloud for the remodeled gar
ment.
Take advantage Of this gracious but
so feeting moment of fashion.
While there is yet time hasten to
convert your sartorial triumphs of a
past decade into ravishing, up-t'o-the-
moment creations.
Especially there is the lace founced
dress of your teens or perhaps the
teens of your mother or grandmother.
The founces may be embroidered on
delicate ivory colored muslin. Per
haps the gown is of black lace. Any
thing in flounces is possible.
Remount the 1ounces on taffeta,
green, rose or biIe, or on net or chif-
fon; make a short quaint bodice of a
bit of 1ounce helped out with tslffeta
or chiffon and have a quaint sash
or queer scanty cverdress Of the
taffeta.
There you are with a wonderful
frock. If your fiounces are of fine
embroidered net or linen or of good
quality of lace it is a costume which
would cost several hundred dollars in
the shops.
Waists which are a combination of
silk and chiffon or net are much in
evidence.
A pale yellow and green waist was
made in a waistcoat design. The silk
of striped green and yellow formed
the waistcoat and the lower part of
the sleeves. The upper part of the
sleeves and the chemisette were OF
pale yellow chiffon.
The upper part Of the sleeves was
full, but the straight deep cuffs OF
silk were tight-fitting. The sleeve
was modified bishop design.
The waist was finished with g. far
ing collar Of the yellow chiffon edges
with narrow band of the green silk.

COLLARS OF MANY DESIGNS
Woman Is Otlsred Rich Choice of
Pretty Neckwear From Which
She May Make Selection.

Three sorts of collars are much in
vogue this spring. One of them is the
familiar oriental collar which falls
away from the shoulders and may be
put on either as straight piece or
with shirring. So loose Is it that with
it must always be worn a close-fitted
inner collar; with some blouses or
gowns, chemisette as well.
The rnedici collar, friend of the thin
throated woman, is second on the list
of fashionable. collars and may be
made as tall and as wide-spreading as
the individual wearer decides to
have it. 1t is most picturesque when
it stops just in front of the ears, and
1t is most becoming in transparent
materials relieved with the slenderest
line Of fur.
Normandy collars are the rage
among neckwear models and very
smart they are on tailored frocks.
blouses and waistcoats The Nor

ing two sharp points that stand out

There, you are the first woman In
this world who ever took a stitch on
sewing machine" Howe said to
Miss Kilbourn when at his invitation
she tried the machine. Miss Elizabeth
Kilbourn. now over eighty years old,
was then a teacher in a private school
in New Hartford, and was interested
in Elias Howe's inventive work. She
is at present i'll in Connecticut hos
