EASILY MADE AT HOME
NEckWEAR NOVELTY REALLY
PRESENTS FEW DIFFICULTIES.
Gladstone Collar, Expensive IL Pur-
chased. Nos at All Hard for the
Skiifui NeedIewoman to Fash
ion-Artificial Fruits.

The big neckwear novelty is the
Gladstone collar. high in back and
pointed over the ears. Although they
were worn by all the weIl-dressed
women at the Auteuil races in France,
and consequently attained their popu-
larity and price, they may be easily
duplicated by using fine organdy
handkerchief and half-yard of fine
wire boning
Put dot in the center of the hand
kerchief with lead pencil and cut on
straight line from two corners of the
handkerchief so that they meet at tie
center dot. Then cut a small semi
circle with the former dot as center
making place for the collar to fit the
neck snugly. Sew strips of wire col
lar supporters from the neck circle di-
agonally across to both corners of the
back and bend 50 that the collar stands
up and out. The raw cut front may
be neatly hemmed or bound with a
bias strip If the came material.
Little artificial fruits are used ex-
tensively this season. A certain red
and yellow silk apple is especially pop
ular and may be used to trim hats or
as corsages and in many instances has
been used in place of flower trimming
on evening gowns.
Artistic as they are, they may be
made with little difficulty by the girl
who wants to look chic" this season.
Roll small bits of cotton wadding
into a hard ball and cover over with
small circle of brightly colored
silk-red and green and yellow are all
appropriate. Tie together at the bot
tom with strong thread and cut away
all surplus material With a coarse
needle, threaded In black darning cot
ton, make large French knot on the
top Of the apple. and draw the needle
through to the other side. Pull tightly
80 as to make slight indentation
where the knot lies, and fasten with q
few strong stitches Where various
colored silks are used, the knots may
be made in corresponding shades of
cotton; for example, green thread may
be used on the yellow apple and yellow
thread on the green or red apple.
They may be punched together for
hat trimming or branched along a
strip of narrow ribbon when used on
evening gowns.

FOR AND AGAINST THE BEARD
Controversy Is an Old One and Has
Been Waged With Considerable
Bitterness.

We need not go back so far as the
eighteenth century to find Englishmen
who held that shaving was "agen God

Ward, R. A, in Defense OF the
Beard" set forth eighteen reasons for

What would Jupiter be without
beard?" AS late as 1860 Thelogos pub

One of his points was that "Provt-
dencs had manitestiy designed the
beard as a protection for the throat
and chest" But what about the wo-
mans threat?
Nowhere was there more preiudice
centuries ago against boards than at
the inns Of court. The black books

bark producers have had only a small
