be done with it. 1t Is placed on straw,

or clipped to look like pompons. 1t is
not as perishable as 1t looks. as there
are moistproof tulles which may be ex-
posed to dampness and even rain with
high-wired effects and in artistic drap-

The new flowers are works of art.

Delightful little clusters of flowers are
composed of a silk rosebud. two fuchsias
and sprig of mignonette. placed on
the brim of a hat. Berries are either
worn as punches or else in trails right
round the hat, often being mixed with
flower buds.
Cotton voiles strewn with small flower

straw braid, lace or embroidered edging

Flarimg Collars of Sheer MwsGm Give Added
Charm and Daimtim@ss to the Spring Costume

I They can be Iaundered black into shape
without trouble, but they must be laun.

collars are a little more practical fol

daintiness necessary to every one of the
spring frocks and they hold their shape
longer than do the sheerer ones.

Now that we are used to this combna-

must be admitted that 1t is quite at

Tho best thing about these collars is
that they provide a method of freshen-
ing cup heavy or dark frocks. They are
often made with cuffs to match and a
set Of organdy or linen collars and cuffs
adds tremendously to a frock OF serge
or gabardinc or taffeta in a dark color.
Another good thing about the new col
lars Is that they are not difficult to make
at home. A new model. when it is first
shown in the shops, costs several dollars.
Soon it is duplicated in cheaper makes.
And any woman with deft fingers can
buy one for a pattern and duplicate it
from strip of organdy or linen.
Sometimes the hem bothers the anna
terr In the model collars the hem
seems to be strangely lacking. in many
cases.
The edge of the collar can be cut half
an inch wider than 1t is wanted bast-
ing line can mark the desired edge. and
the collar can be finished with a ma
chine-made picot edge at some trimming
shop at slight expense.
If regulation hem is desired. allow
an eighth of an inch. Then cut a bias
strip OF the mat rial and seam it around
the edge. turning it under in facing.
a hem cannot readily be turned on the
collar because of the curving. bias edges.
Sometimes 1t is even better to cut a
regulation facing the shape of the edge
of the collar than to use a bias strip.

cuffs and an outstanding collar of white

In taffeta, such frock is not service
able for many summer days. But it can
be developed in many other fabrics.
Plain and figured crepe could be used
with good effect. The skirt could be
made of figured lawn or diinity and the
little jacket of pink or blue linen, with
white linen collars and cuffs. The mother
who prefers all-white frocks always could
have this one copied with a white lawn
or handkerchief linen skirt and a jacket
of heavier linen.

@NE of the most delightful notes in

for the spring. It began to show itself
late in the winter.

But it's name is unessential. The es-
sential point about it is that it is dainty
and almost invariably becoming. 1t must
be made of some white fabric. the sheer
er the better, and it must be stiffened,
usually with starch SO that it holds the
pose its makers planned for it.

and the smaller. heavier ones will be
found the best.
The opening of lobster is tedious
work. The dark, greenish cord of fla
ment must be removed. All the meat
must be removed from the shell, which
Is cracked open with hammer. The
claws must be cleaned for decorating
purposes. and the coral can be powdered
for the same use.
Lobster salad, dear to the heart and
palate of almost every lover of good
things to eat. is not very difficult to
make, but it must be daintiIv made of
the best ingredients. The lobster must
be firm and fresh and sweet The lettuce
must be crisp and cold. The oil must
be of the best quality.
To begin with. cut the boiled lobster
into neat pieces about an inch square
Put these on a rather shallow dish and
over them pour a dressing made of three
parts of vinegar to two of olive OIL sea-
soned with salt, pepper and minced
parsley. The addition of little onion
juice is optional. Turn the pieces of
lobster over and over in the dressing and
then put it in the refrigerator for sew
eral hours. When it is time to serve the
salad pile the lobster in the center of a
nest of crisp, white lettuce leaves and
cover IT with mayonnase dressing.

lobster a la Newburg. 1t must be deftly
made and can be most easily managed

Jubilee Promises to Be an Annual
Event Of Importance in
the State.

Macon Macon takes up the role OF
host to one of the largest crowds that
the city has known since the Confed-
crate reunion was held here three
years. ago. 1t is the occasion of the
first annual Georgia Jubilee, which in
time bids fair to equal in many ways
the famous Mardi Gras celebration
each spring in New Orleans. Prince
Prosperity, the most popular ruler
who ever sat upon throne, has full
sway here and his reign was a profit
one. The Prince arrived in the city
on horseback, arrayed in royal robes
of many hues, his garments being
made in France especially for this oc-
casion. He was accompanied by
twelve out-riders and court jester.
The royal party was met by officers of
the JUBILEE association, an escort of
police and the Macon Drum and Bugle
Corps, who acted as an escort to the
city hall, where the prince stated his
mission to mayor Bridges Smith, the
latter turning over the keys of the city
to Emory Winship, president Of the
Jubilee association, who formerly ac-
cepted them on behalf of Prince Pros
perity and other visitors to the city
during the celebration.
