is a good example of type of collar
which is featured among the new
dress accessories for spring. Equally
strong as a novelty, the new ve1s
high, standing collars (high at the
front as we'll as the back, attached
or unattached to the blouse, are com.
manding much attention and may
prove the favorites. Just at the mo
ment the sheer collar, high at the
back and turned over, open at the
throat, is liked finished by a band
of narrow black velvet ribbon which
ties over it around the throat and ap
pears to support it, although fine
wires really do the work.
There is a lot of wear in the col
lars of embroidered batiste; they pre-
vide an inexpensive and dainty means
of freshening up the dress.

THE new collars give one the choice
u of barring the throat, leaving it more
or less yelled, or covering it com
pletely. But almost without exception
they are high at the back, many of
them very high, and the neck is lost
to view. In the greater number the
throat is open, there are flaring revers
at the side and turnover portion at
the back. Within these lines the va
riety of ways in which the collars are
cut is really bewildering. To Judge
by this, everyone is to wear novel
things in neckwear, and every style
is to be suited.
Besides the turnover collars, with
revers at the sides and vestees at the
front, there are smart styles with
standing plaits across the back. These
are cut squarely off at the sides, leav-
ing the throat uncovered, but are fin
ished with a long vestee at the front.
These, like other standing effects, are
supported by fine wires. They are
very high, reaching not much below
the top of the ears.
Then there are the graduated ruff1es
of fine lace which are favorites on
gowns of lace and net and on after
noon gowns of taffeta or faille or
crepe de chine. They are not so high

T HE plainest of boudoir caps, such
Il as that one pictured iere, will
serve to introduce a coterie of others
far more elaborately made. The SUBJ
ject of boudoir caps is inexhaustible;
they are as varied, almost, as the
faces they so prettily set off. Dain-
tiness is the most lasting of fem
tnine charms, and the boudoir cap is
an expression of this.
Displayed in a New York shop are
half dozen or so styles, that run
the scale from the simplest to the
most elaborate. The first one con-
sists of puff of plain crepe de chine
for the crown, which is gathered over
circle of wire that fits the head.
Lace, about three inches wide, plated
in narrow side plaitings, is sewed in
side the edge of the cap about the
front, extending from one temple to
the other. A second length of the
plated lace is sewed in, extending
from ear to ear. The lace is then
turned back off the face and tackled to
the crown, forming a coronet of lace
about the face.
Where this plating leaves off, a
third length is sewed in the cap and is
left hanging over it's neck A ro-
settle of narrow ribbon is sewed to
each side.
The next cap is made of all-over
shadow lace with the puffed crown
shirred over a circle of wire. A
frill of very narrow lace extends about
the front of the cap. Across the back
thers Is a scant frill of wider lace

that is wired with fine wire, to curve
outward from the ears and neck.
This smart little affair is. trimmed
with a twist of narrow satin ribbon
and occasional clusters of the smallest
chiffon roses set about the face. 1t
is finished with rosette of the
ribbon at each side
The third cap was made of fine dot
ted swiss and shaped like a baby's
cap. A frill of cluny lace, very scant,
fell about the face, and an insertion
of the same was set in about the
crown Between the insertion and
the frill narrow band OF ribbon ex-
tended about the cap, ending in long
loops and ends at the left side
The fanciest and most novel of caps
in this gay array had a puffed crown
of colored silk set in a brim of Irish
lace. The lace was wired to stand out
in four points, one at the front one
at the back, and one at each side. 1t
had no trimmings, the richness of
the lace making this unnecessary.
Many simple caps were shown made
of fiowered voile and marquisette.
They have puffed crowns and short
capes of the material and were
trimmed with lace and little ribbon
roses in several colors One of the
prettiest of all was made of sheer
openwork swiss embroidery for the
puffed crown, and a double ruff1e of
lace ablut the face. Satin ribbon two
inches wide was twisted about the
crown and tied in bow at the front.

p. c. Morrell. chairman of the COM
mittee on the independent chautau-
qua project, gives the following &c
count OF yesterdays visit OF the com
mittee to st. Peter:
THE independent chautauqua com
mittee, consisting of DIR. j. A. Han
cock, Superintendent r. j. Sperry
Benjamin Taylor and p. c. Morrell,
chairman, accompanied by Adolph
Mueller, rode by automobile Sunday
afternoon 10 the court house mt st.
Peter, where they were met by JOS
eph a. Poetz, president of the ST.
Peter independent chautauqua com :
mittee, who directed the party TO
Secretary William Mallgren's office.
where they were met by other men,
bers of the st. Peter chautauqua asso
citation. including Professor ID. NJ. Co.'S
grove and others.
MIR. Mallgren, otherwise known as
'Chautauqua Dill. in his own commu-
nifty, and the originator and prime
mover of the ST. Peter independent
chautauqua, had evidently prepared to
give the committee the benefit Of his
experience in the chautauqua field He
said he knew of no better field In this
country than Mankato In which to
make success of an independent
chantauqua. lie said that inasmuch
as st. Peter had made a great success
of this field, having only about one
third the population of Mankato, and
the expenses of the chautauqua in
Mankato would not be any greater
than In st. Peter. At the same time
Mankato would have greater popu-
lation TO draw from. He said that
inasmuch as the community had to
make a guarantee to the trust chau-
tauqua they could Just as we'll make
a guarantee TO the local chautauqua.
He estimated that the Redpath -Vaw-
ter system had taken on an average
$4,000 year from Mankato. He cited
instances OF many other cities of the
size of Mankato having independent
chautauquas and making success OF
them.
"St. Peter conducted an eight-day
chautauqua last year as against the
seven day chautauqua In Mankato. at
a total expense of about $3.50. $3.50
of which was expended for The talent
and the balance for local expenses"

FIRE ALARM IS
 SOUNDED TWICE

Shortly before It o'clock last night a small cottage on Fourth street, between Main and Alaska, owned by Chas. Davis, the gardner, was discovered to be on fire and an alarm turned in to which the department responded promptly, the flremen arriving on the scene in time to stop the blaze, which had already got a fairly good start in the front room of the building.
 At 1 o'clock this morning Fire Chief J. 4. Bender and Jack Greis- bach, a member of the fire com pany, who had stayed to see. that everything was left ill safe condi- tion, went home, but at 4:20 a. m. were again called out by the alarm bell, and found that from some unknown cause the house was again on fire, but this time in a rear room. Again the blaze was put out without doing any damage except to scorch and char the in terior of the building.
 Chief Bender is of the opinion that the first fire originated in the ceiling of the front room and was caused from soms defect in the eIectrict light wiring. For the second he has no explanation ex- cept that a spark smouldering in some obscure place might have been overlooked, and after he and Greis- bach left been famed into blaze.
