The High Collar

The day of the high collar has come
again Long enough has the defenseless
public been tortured by the sight of ex-
tremely V-necks and decollete afternoon
gowns. Many woman will hail the new
high collar with sigh of relief, and per-
haps just as many will brave Dame
Fashions disfavor and remain comfort
able in her low collar.
Tho low collar and low-cut neck of the
daytime frock may have been comfort
able as far as physical sensation goes,
but they were hard on the feelings of
women who didn't become them. And
what is physical comfort compared with
wounded vanity?
The change has been a gradual one
Just as the last backslider patiently al
lows her dressmaker to disfigure her
gowns by cutting them into a broad
V neck. the styles change! The very
ones who were advocating the daytime
decolletage begin to turn their collars
up to their ears on the sides, in many
cases comforting a favor on the public
at large.
The low-cut afternoon blouse is slowly
departing. In its extreme phase it is
seldom becoming and most always ex-
aggerated and very much out of place.
So long five the high collar! At last the
stout woman can look dignified and still
be fashionable.

While it is true that not half as many
salad materials are available in winter
as in summer still the housewife who
is entirely eliminating salads from her
menu need not do So The purpose of
all salads, as we know, is to act like
'brooms" and natures securing soap upon
the system. They are served cold, as op-
posed to most of our hot foods; they are
dressed with cooling oil and piquant vine
gar, and thus are entirely different from
vegetables served hot and even with
warm sauces.
"But what shall 1 have for salads in
winter?" asks the housewife. First, be-
lieve that many common vegetables which
are usually served with cream dressing
or other sauce can be made into salad
by the simple act of serving cold with a
real salad dressing. Such are the humble
more vulgar cabbage. All of these, and
even the turnip and delicate oyster plant
can be boiled in little water, cooled and
served with the regular French dressing.
plants cool. with plenty of vinegar and
a dash OF mustard? Has some one turned
up his nose at finely shredded cabbage
with real cold slaw dressing? Who has
found distasteful a salad made from leeks
boiled and served with a piquant oil and
vinegar dressing?
Then there are other foods which we
cannot class as fish, fowl or flesh.
Among these stands celery, which COM
bines with both vegetables and fruits
and which is really the lettuce of winter.
It's crisp stalks and flavor harmonize
with such vegetables as cabbage and car
rot or combine with diced fruit and
nuts into salad royale. Fruit salads,
too, are just as possible in winter as in
summer, and here we have the grape
fruit, queen of all citrus fruits; the
orange, the firm winter apple and the
great array of white or other California
grapes. Just now in certain sections
these grapes are selling at 10 cents a
pound, and a pound will make four por-
tions of salad. These grapes combine
excellently with cream or Neufchatel
cheese, with walnuts, oranges and grape
fruit.
If we wish to use canned foods there
are any number of possibilities for salad
making. Tender green spring beans,
small picked onions, the delightful pi-
mento and asparagus. green and white,
all blend to cool service and dressings.
A half-can OF cherries can be covered
with oil and vinegar as well as used with
a dessert. Canned pears, cream cheese
and walnut meat make an ambrosiaI
salad, while circles OF canned pineapple,
similarly used, will give that delicious
sweet salad taste SO necessary in almost
every meal.
We have almost forgotten the corpu-
lent Bermuda onion, now in it's glory.
which alone is sufficient for wholesome
appetizer. There are Brussels sprouts,
too, in season. and most refreshing
salad is recalled of grated raw rutabaga

speaking of girls" said the Bachelor,
"reminds me of something that happened
the other day. I was going over to call
on Elsie Moore, and on my way made
the interesting discovery that l had left
my money in my other clothes. In short,
was the proud possessor of just 40
cents.
"well, on my arrival the first thing
Miss Moore informed me was that she
had made an engagement for us to go
with crowd to some dansant. Seeing
faint gleam of hope, I asked who was
going.
"Oh, nobody you know. They're all
now people," she told me cheerfully.
80 decided to take the bull by the
horns and tell her that we couldn't go,
and did. Did Elsie say that 1t was all
right, and that she really was too tired
to dance. anyway? No, she did not.
s''When that young lady was through
telling me what brute ] was, and how
often had disappointed her, and few
other like compliments, / assure you
was a bit flabbergasted.

to show you that girls are all alike. They
only like fellow for the good times he
can afford to show them. They never
stop to think whether he is good, bad or
Indifferent in character. All they want is
excitement.
Another thing they entirely disregard
Ia from what source the money comes.
The married women are the same. Their
poor old husbands can slave all day long,
but when they come home at night they
are not permitted to say word about
business. That's talking shop. Their
wives expect them to be cheerful and
bright, no matter how worried they are.
If ever meet a logical woman I'd marry
her on the spot"
'IndeedP' said the spInster. "That's
extraordinarily generous of you! You
seem to forget that you are making Elsie
Moore the excuse for your own foolish
mistakes. If you hadn't spoiled her she
wouldn't expect you to take her all over
the city. When you tie yourself to a
womans apron strings you can expect to
be dragged around. And besides, If you
ever met a logical woman it wouldn't
do you much good, because If she were
logical she wouldn't marry you."

IN all big families there Is generally one

these qualities are seldom duly recog-
nlsed MY sister Mary is such dear,

girl the other day. She spoke in an al

the virtues alluded to we're something to
be rather ashamed of than otherwise.
"she is so willing to help all Of us, but
sometimes / wish she would smarter UP

I felt rather anxious to meet Mary. and
a day or two later visited the family. 1t
was as had expected. Mary was pinch
Ing and saving to help the other MEM
bers of the family. She certainly was
not SO good-loolsing as her eldest sister,
nor 80 smartly dressed as her second sis
Ter, nor so witty and entertaining as her
younger sister, but after one had talked
20 her for little while one saw that she
had the finest character in the family.
In front of her was tremendous bas-
ltet, overhowing with stockings in all
stages of dsrepair. "These are boys
stockings" I said. "I didn't know that
you had any brothers,

tronizing tone. she's regular old stay

rushed in, She was going out to a dance
and seemed in a violent hurry.
