COLLAR "MAKES" THE GOWN
Most Important Accessory May Be
Fashioned In Short Time by
Clever Woman.

A clever collar is made of lace that
Is merely graduated into shape when
sewn on the bodice, while a few small
wires at the back of the neck hold it
In place. This is very easy style to
copy, though it must not be con-
founded with the real medici, which is
more elaborate, and needs to be com
pleted with sharp corners.
Other collars are made of soft white
silk or satin, very much like those
seen in the old paintings Of Lord
Byron.
Only these are slightly more exag-
gerated in style than the Byron col
lar of a few months ago. Many Of
these have a wire run in on either
side to lift them well over the coat
collar, and give that pretty winged"
effect which is SO immensely becom-
ing to many people. For summer
wear there will be all kinds of muslin
and embroidered neckwear, but on the
whole the severe modes, after the old
fashioned Quaker and Puritan de-
signs, will be most seen.
Any one with clever fingers Is able
to manufacture for herself the dain-
tiest and most charming confections
of this sort with very little expendi-
ture Of time or trouble, and, indeed,
there is nothing like a fresh and be-
coming collar for making the plainest
of gowns or blouses attractive.

! WHEN MIRANDA FORGOT !:
BY CONSTANCE NEssLER. :

Il mustn't postpone busting them
another minute" said Miranda, as she
opened her bookcase door in order to
ind room for new volume and no
ticed how the tops of the old ones
We're covered by a layer Of dust.
With Miranda the busting of books
was a prolonged and serious ordeal,
usually attended with much senti-
mental reminiscence. She couldn't
merely wipe the dear backs and faces
of her favorite volumes without renew
Ing acquaintance with them. General
ly before she had reached the second
shelf she was seated on the floor,
pile Of books about her, the soiled
duster lying by her side and some
once loved novel open at her favorite
scene. 1t was where Lord Ormont had
confessed his inability to exist with
out his Evelina, or where the spirited
Miss Bennett had dismissed the
naughty Mr.. Darcy, or where-but
there was no stopping and no dusting
when once Miranda had fairly started
on this dual feat of busting her books
and refreshing her memory.
This morning she banged the book
backs and fiirted her duster without
a pause until she reached the George
Eliot shelf, and noticed a telltale va
cancy in that beloved set.
IT'S Daniel Deronda' that has
gone,' walled Miranda as she carefully
busted the top of each volume after
giving 1t bang that was enough to
bring all the characters to life again.
"And | know who has it. loaned it
over year ago to Lima Helft, and
though l have seen her dozen times
since then she has never mentioned
the book. And now she has moved to
the suburbs and suppose she has
taken my book with her and will never
think of it again or remember that
she has broken my set
1T Is like breaking up family to
lose one out of set" she continued,
"and | think that there ought to be a
special punishment devised for people

1t on a table in plain sight SO that
shall remember to return it."
The fourth shelf was full of painful
memories for Miranda and she
hastened through the slapping and
busting process without stopping to
peep within single cover. The fact
was that this particular fourth shelf
set was subscription set and had
caused Miranda many an anxious tear.
She had paid 81 month for 1t, having
in moment of bookish weakness and
vanity put her name to some book
agents pledge, and there had been
times when it was difficult to get the
~, and when she was obliged to ask
the agent to call again. How she hated
the sight Of that man and how sick she
was of those books before she had
paid for them!
1 suppose l ought to read them"
she said to herself as she gave each
OF the II volumes spiteful slap, but
really, know | should see that agents
face on every page. And, besides,
they are the kind of book one likes to
own but doesn't care to read. They
are not the sort that are what Charles
Lamb called take downable,' and some
day mean to take them to some
secondhand book store and see what
| can get for them"
On the fifth shelf Miranda came
across a volume that did not look fa-
miliar, though the story itself was one
with which she was well acquainted.

copy of The Cloister and the HEARTH"
said she, as she opened the volume
and glanced at the name of an old
friend inscribed on the fly leaf. Dear
me! l must have borrowed this book

1t, put 1t among my own books and

THE WORK or HeALTH AND
WELFARE LEAGUE.

The work of Mrs. Harriet Minna-
ker, the efficient visiting nurse in
the employ of the Bourbon County
Health and Welfare League, was re-
viewed at length at a recent meeting
of that body. The report submitted
by Mrs Minnaker shows a most en-
couraging condition of affairs in her
work. In one months time she has
made one hundred and fifty-eight
calls, and has visited fifty-eight homes
in this city and county. Her work has
not been confined wholly to the sick
in the city and county, but she has
given her time and energies to all in
need of help.
While Mrs. Minnaker has been do
| ing this unselflsh work she has not re-
ceived that whole-hearted support that
the nature of the work demands. 1t
is true that donations of clothing
and other supplies have been made to
aid the work of relieving suffering,
but it is a lack of funds that is ham
pering her more than any thing else
The good people of this city and
county ought to realize the impor
lance of this work, and make liberal
| response to the request frequently
made for help in the way of funds.
1t ought never to be said that a
wealthy community like this would
make large donations to far less
worthy causes and ignore the need fol
help in our own midst. The thOus
ands of dollars sent out of this
county recently in contributions to a
spasmOdic movement of a fieeting ma
ture might have been spent in a fal
more worthy manner in furthering the
work of this organization. 1t takes q
brave nature to fight against odds, al
most single-handed, that confront
Mrs. Minnaker in her good work, and
the News honors her for her courage
her fidelity to duty, and her single
hearted devotion to her work.

RARss MERCHANTS HAVE
COMPLETE CHRISTMAS STOCK

II is generally conceded that
handsomer or more complete line of
Christmas goods was never shown in
Central Kentucky. and the stores in
Paris cap the climax in having just
what you want, and at prices lower
than you can get elsewhere. The
local merchants have taken great
pains in making their selections, real
fling the fact that their customers
want something good at a reasonable
price.
A visit to these stores will quickly
convince you that you can save money
by buying in Paris. Nnder these con-
ditions, why make an expensive trip
to other cities, where you can get no
better goods, and will even have to
nay more money than your gifts will
cost at home?
In former years many hundreds OF
dollars have been spent away from
home that should have been kept
here. So take a look at your local
markets before prancing off to an
other town to get separated from your
coin.
The one thing that should appeal
most to home folks" is that dollar
that is made here should be spent
here, where the home merchants, all
things being equal, should be given
the benefit. That dollar will be get
ting into local trade circles, circulate
at home, and will be the means OF
bringing cheer and comfort to "the
home folks" instead of being soaked
away i'm the bank account of some
lexington Louisville or Cincinnati
merchant, and never again returning
60 the original place from which il
started.
Do your shopping at home, and do il
early. -
