think certain plan of friends OF
mine was excellent. There were seven
daughters in the family, five of whom
were all engaged at the same time. The
parents the two sons and the two un-
appropriated daughters decided that they
would not play "dodging" game on
such occasions as the five fiances came to
call. So they gave up the five sitting
rooms in the house to the five pairs of
lovers once a week, and spent a blame
less Sabbath sitting on the staircase! Yes,
1t was somewhat draughty, but they en-
tertaned their friends out there, have
spent many many happy hours upon their
staircase, while the five pairs of lovers
held their several duets somewhere be-
meath the family roof-tree, but each pair
apart-and out Of sight, Yes, lovers are
most trying at the best of times!

Pretty Camisole

There is no doubt that the most salts
factory way of making camisole Is first
to get a reliable pattern, then choose
nainsook or cambria of f1rst-rate quality
and work embroidery on 1t, outlining it
with button-hole stitch work in scallop
that as much embroidery may be added
as fancy dictates. but the result is sure
to be very pretty camisole that will
stand any amount of wear, and always
have n distinction about 1t never to be

MODES OF
THE HOUR
Neckwear Conspicuous Feature in
Dress This Fall and Needs to Be
Chosen With Great Care-Collar
With High. Close Back Offers
Opportunity for Variety.

Neckwear Is included among the acces-
sories of dress ordinarily, and quite
rightly so, but this season 1t is such a
conspicuous feature that unless IL is
| chosen with due regard to the style of
dress with which II is to be worn, 1t may
| have the appearance of a very bad mlsfit
The collar with the high, close back is
n novelty this year that offers opportu-
nifty for very great variety. 1t is com
pleted by sharp-pointed revers or tied
by narrow black ribbon, or, again, 1t
may be purely decorated and exist just
Of itself. And sometimes II is of white
silk or satin and sometimes Of the sheer
est organde or muslin.
Two very pretty collars are sketched
today. For one plats are used In such
a way that the collar spreads like a fan
and ends in haring points that come
pretty close to being revers. The plated
collar Is very popular and both the close
fitting and the flaring collar have adopt
ed this means of softenng the outline
An edglng of lace Is now a feature,
and fine NalenCiennes in white or cream
Is quite as dainty as one of the more
expensive laces. A hemstitched collar
with the lace whipped on makes an at
tractive showing of handwork. In the
shops this makes a more expensive col
lar than when the lace is attached by
means of the machne-made picot
The second collar pictured is set in the
blouse like vest, and 1t is not detach-
able like the majority of the novelty de-
signs The little bit of embroidery that
runs around the outer edge of the collar
Is eyelet work, and it adds very much
to its effectiveness.
Almost all the shops show plain collars
in sheer materials that are inexpensive.
Ii is not a bad plan to buy them and to
touch them up" at home. something
i'm the way Of handwork will transform
them completely. French embroidery or
eyoet. it doesn't matter which, II the
pattern is good one. The addition of
scrap of lace may make all the ditter-
ence in the world and the result may be
not a collar that one sees reproduced a
thousand times-but one that looks like
the special creation of a French shop.
The separate collar idea is not limited
to blouses and frocks, nor even to suits,
where II often takes the form of collar
and cuffs. The heavy outercoat some
times boasts dainty white collar and
many of the capes follow suit.
A fine black broadcloth cape that made
its escape from Paris recently, plus its
owner. has a detachable white silk col
lar shaped exactly like the broadcloth
collar Of the cape. 1t is one of those
riffling affairs long in the back and short
in the front, and it can be worn In the
afternoon or the evening.
When the white silk collar is attached,
n heavy lustrous corded silk, it Is un-
uuestionably dressy enough for any oc-
cegion short of n court ball or grand
opera.

The Long Engagement

Not that a girl should be amused all

In useless waiting with no prospects Of
change, thoughts of the others are bound
to creep In. A man Is bound, hand and
foot, by a long engagement. He cannot
force success or make an opportunity out
of the empty air, yet the thought of the
girl drives him on-sometimes to des-
perate measures. OF the two, It would b

AN the world loves a lover" goes
the saying. Yes. theoretically, and il

and at close range. a pair of lovers are
most trying! one never knows Just
how to take them, nor how, upon a
given occasion, they will actl They
seem beyond the pale of ordinary stand
ards, too. one cannot count upon their
movements, for in world of uneN-
rected happenings, they are the most
erratic, irresponsible of beings!
Viewed with a calm, impartial eye. the
ups and downs Of being in love seem
very strange, Love is responsible for
such strange Authorizations, too. Among
the roses seem to minsle pretty freely
thorns! To the calm looker-on, the
game seems scarcely worth the candle

like to a roaring, rampins lion! Yes. It
is true, love has its transformation
not for the better. always, eitherl
Personally think that a pair or
lovers i'm a house are dreadfully trying.
1t is so awkward, too, because one never
knows just where and how one will
alight on them tnwittingly one rouses
fury in their hearts. The hardest thing
on earth to get away from is a pair of
lovers, No matter how one ycarns to
leave them to the solitude they want,
they seem to turn up in the oldest most
unexpected places. Not only do they
possess this irritating, Jack-in.the-boN
characteristics but when they do spring
up like that. they blame the unfortunate
intruder as If the meeting had been
planned Just for their annoyance. Upon
the contrary!
Yes, they are curious things, race
apart. these lovers! But who among us
does not know them and their little
ways? When they ate in room,
certain electricity seems in the air.

Words of Wisdom

AS little is thought OF the girl who
bosses" a man around as the man who
allows her to do it.
Make a companion of your husband. Do
the movies" the theatres, the concerts
together. play cards-even tango, If you
willard he won't be running to clubs
all the time.
Allow for individuality in tastes. A
love for loud neckwear is not crime.
Tears may be effective In gaining your
end, but they are an unworthy means
There is no truer expression than the
tyranny OF tears"

KEEP WORK HORSES IN BARN
Animals Do Better When Kept In Sta
BILE at Night Instead Of Being
Turned Into Pasture.

Horses that are working hard will
not do as we'll when turned out to
pasture at night as when kept In and
fed regularly on dry feed. They are
not as apt to rest as well in the pas
ture as In q good barn. and the green
feed they get at night may result in
digestive disturbances, collie and
scours. Grass-fed horses cannot stand
as hard work as the dry-fed horse.
for the dry feeds are the ones which
build the muscle for the horse.
Along later in the fall the fall pas
ture will not hurt, especially for the
young colts and the brood mares.
II you must feed corn to the work
horses give them something else in
the grain ration. Corn alone is not
n good feed, as II is too fattening.
A combination OF corn, bran and
little oil meal makes an ideal summer
ration for horses II you arc short on
oats. A 1,0O0-pound horse would re-
quire about ten pounds of corn and
three pounds OF bran with q little oil
meal per day. This will be equivalent
to fourteen pounds OF oats.

BETTER THAN HOT VEGETABLE
Salads, Easily Made and inexpensive,
Should Have Place on Table
In Summer.

1t Is not necessary to have expen-
sive asparagus tips or pimentos to
make the most delicious salad. The
humble string bean, carrot, turnip,
beet and lima bean offer most delight
full possibilities. Finely shredded cab
bage with lima beans and grated car
carrot is most attractive. Beets and
string beans combine we'll, and to
those who like to make salads. even
the smallest scraps of leftover can be
utilized to advantage.
So then, in your summer cooking,
substitute the salad for the hot, steam
ing vegetable. 1t will save time and
bother because then you can boil 1t In
the early GOODNESS of the day, lay In
the icebox, and have all prepared for
night without needing to bother Just
at supper-time. Wash and clean the
lettuce early in the day, wrap in a
bag of paper toweling or square Of
clean cheesecloth and put 1t In the ice.
box, and your salad is practically
done.
A summer supper In some form OF
aspic, meat loaf. or even a hot meat
dish, together with vegetable salad
dressed with plenty of olive oil, fruit
and bread and butter is ideal.
