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 Al
ways Right.

Black maline neckbands with rhine
stone slides and motifs are among the
becoming neck accessories which the
collafless gowns have made popular.
Any girl with average ingenuity can
copy one OF these neckbands in an
hours time and at 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 neckDands there is
usually a large silver motif set with
rhinestones, from which is suspended
silver and rhinestone pendant. This
arrangement is decorative and becom.
ing, and fortunately is capable of
clever imitation.
The height OF the neckband is Ell
tlrely governed by the length of the
wearer's neck. Something less than
TWO inches IS q good average width,
and the malines must be folded three
or four times before any decoration is
attempted.
To give the frmness 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
rhinestones can be sewed on between
the two slides in the form of festoon.
With the wide assortment OF beautiful
mock jewel earrings there will be no
trouble in making suitable pendant
by simply twisting off the part which
would identify 1t as an earring. mex.
pensive lavallieres are also to be found
we'll 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 maine 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.

Little Doubt About Uncle Jeff's Opin-

Apropos of his policy of silence,
Mayor Mitchell of New York said at

"In silence there is safety. They
who want opinions often get opinions
they don't want. Take the young
planters case.
"A young Mississippi planter had a
servant, Uncle JEFF, who had cared
for him as a child and who was very
devoted to him. The young man be-
came engaged TO a neighboring beau
ty, who was credited with a very bad
temper. Noticing that Uncle Jeff
never mentioned his approaching mar

These bodices are buttoned up the
back, and unlike the 9ld-timers with
numerous seams. they have only the
one at the shoulder, which caps a per
fectly tight and long sleeve.
Mostly these bodies are developed
in velvet, of a shade that contrasts
with the dressy skirt. For instance. a
striking Redfern gown has appeared

RULES TO GOVERN AMATEUR
ATHLETES ACCORDING TO ETHICS

Chicago, Dec. 2S.--An amateur ath-
lete should pay no attention to ap-
plause from the grandstand, accord
ing to a code of ethical rules laid
down today by a special committee
of the Athletic Research Society in
annual session. The rules say:
Contestants win not attempt to
play to the grandstand for publicity or
applause. Appreciation from the spec
tators will be taken for granted and
not acknowledged.
Opponents will be treated as
friends and honored guests even #
they do not reciprocate. No unfair ad-
vantage will ever be taken of them.
Good plays will be acknowledged. Of
f1eials will be considered as impartial
and competent arbitrators. Decisions
will be accepted without dispute. even
when they apparently are unfair. Ad-
vantage will not be taken of lax rule
enforcement. I'll -feeling of any kind
will not be publicly manifested even
when an official is incompetent or dis
honest.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-12-29

Athletic rules will be considered as
mutual agreements between contest
ants for the purpose of providing a
basis of honorable competition between
gentlemen. The letter or spirit of the
rules will no more be ignored or evad-
ed than will gentleman's word of
honor.
Every honest and earnest effort
will be made to win a contest, but \
dishonorable victory will not be &C
cepted.
An amateur will always be 10y Il
to his teammates in every conceivable
endeavor.
"A true amateur athlete will never

tion regarding his eligibility, ability IT

peting as such after he has ceased to
