Gently dress sets showing collar and

There is literally no end to the
number of designs in neckwear With
so many fabrics available and a free
field for the play of fancy in a world
of inexpensive materials we are likely
to find new things every day.

TO make sure of bit of white next
tho face is to be sure of added be-
comingness in coat or gown. Vestees
and collars in one, or collars alone,
are the dominating features in fall
neckwear. and they are shown in many
fabrics and a still greater number of
designs.
Nearly all of these smart ccessories
are made of washable fabrics, al
though fragile chiffons and silk mus
Inns and the finest of silk crepes are
utilized to make the short-hved glory
of some of them. but crisp freshness
and immaculate cleanliness belong to
the vestee and collar; are the essen
tial reasons for their existence, in
fact. so that all the finest and sheerest
of wash fabrics are employed in their
making. These include organdie,
swiss. thin lawns, swiss embroidery,
batiste, mulls, nets, voiles and laces.
The choice is wide enough.
Collars and vestees made the firm
er weaves in wash fabrics are finished
with hemstitching and often decorated
with tucks. Insertions and narrow
edgings Of fine lace or the finest en-
broideries are used on them.

IF you are looking for something
in u style of hair dressing consider
this revival of one of the fascinating
achievements of the time of the EN-
pire. After due consideration one is
constrained to ponder as to whether
we have ever had anything better
since then. A century and more has
faded into the past since this coiffure
played its part, along with other super
excellent modes, which helped the
beauties of Napoleon's time to immor-
taliZe their charms.
This pretty arrangement of the hair
In waves and short curls is not intend
ed to be worn with workaday clothes
in the prosaic business of everyday
living. 1t Is an affair of evening dress,

flowers bes peak joyous appareling

coat is of brocaded satin in rose color,
bordered with ruche of plated ma
line. She wears a moire girdle OF
rose color, also. Her garments are
the most tasteful of up-to-date modes.
The hair is waved and parted little
to one side in very short part. This
waved portion is brought to the back
of the head and arranged in looSe, fiat
coils pinned fiat below the crown. The
hair over the ears is separated into
strands and curled in three rather
tight curls. A strand Of pearls, fin
ished with three settings at the front,
is clasped round the head. Below 1t
across the forehead there is a slightly
curled fringe of hair.
Almost any fairly youthful face will
find all it's good points enhanced by
a style of hair dressing so remarkably
good that it challenges the classic
models of the Greeks and divides hon
ors with them.

Chain Ferry.

Among the queer things to be foead
in England is chain ferry, which Is
to be found on the river lamar, in
Devonshire. The Tamar, tidal river,
has terrifically strong current-so
strong that the ferryboat is compelled
to ford II on chains. The chains are
laid parallel to one another and
caught firmly in the banks of the
stream. By means of steam engine
and system of cogwheels that pick
up the chains the boat is hauled
across.
