STYLES is the change in the collars Of
waists and dresses The military or
bigh buttoued-up effects will doubtless
be the most in evidence. The square
or Dutch neck is excellent for summer
frOcks and also the newer Cabot neck,
which is similar. The dropped shoulder
lines of ante-bellum days is the latest
TCvelty and for day wear will be filled
in with fichus of net and yokes Of lace
or embroidery.
The square or Dutch neck is shown
in my first illustration, which is devel-
oPed in soft tan crepe. This is an I'M
usually good model for dresses of diff
feIent fabrics, such as rep, pique, linen,
or cotton gabardine.
The long. close fitting sleeve with
small armhOle is the faVOrite at pres
ent. The half sleeve Of one color and
the undersleeve of another is an eX-
tremely effective idea adopted from the
Slavic peasant costume. In black and
white chiffon it is both striking and at
tractive.
Very short sleeves, directly traceable
to the long shoulder line and the 1880
period, are quaint and charming when
added to n frOck with the dropping
shoulder effect
There are the bell and other shapes
for cutting the sleeve and frills of vary
ing widths and design at the wrist, IS
well as many odd little cuffs, round or
pointed.
The trimmings for spring dresses are
varied. For. black and white there are
jet spangles and white beads in patterns
often heavy in appearance, but light in
weight. Military braids in black, dread
naught gray and in cOlOrs matching the
dress goods shades are used. Japanese
and Chinese embroideries will lend their
enlfvening. colors to the neutral color
ings which are so smart.
Buttons-in brass. silver. gun-metal
and steel are in large demand for milf
tary costumes, and the vegetable ivory
buttons are made in the average cOlOrs
OF dress goods.

All four hurried down to the dining

over the packages hurriedly.

two packages. Here's another and

CT DON'T think I'd want any one
to come to see me off if I We're
going away" remarked Helen, as
Warren guided her over the wharf to-
ward the big boat. They were seeing
some friends off for the south of Eu-
rope and Helen was eagerly taking in
everything that passed by. Big motor
trucks piled high with trunks Of all
kinds Numbered by, people going out
on the liner saying goodby to friends
blocked up the entrance to the pier
and Helen, with a little grasp Of War
ren's arm, whispered excitedly:
Doesn't it make you feel as though
you had to go along, dear? I never in
my life wanted to go anywhere so
badly"
What made you change your mind
about having people see you OFF, re-
marked Warren. Il remember the time
when you were only too glad to have
ans one around"
q know I used to be, but some how
the sadness in a goodbye like this IS
quite awful. Look at that woman over
there; she doesn't look as though she
were going for pleasure"
IT'S very possible she isn't, you
know" said Warren. Every one
doesn't"
Helen Would Like to Go.
Don't you wish you were going,
dear?'
'I don't know. Yes, 7 guess I do
"Well, I certainly do. 1 was never
so envious in my life"
You mean you think you weren't.
Don't forget that hat you saw the
other day, and several other things"
Helen smiled as she recolected the
hat she had lopged to own. 1t was
such a little thing compared with a
trip abroad And this time of the year
would be perfect for a southern trip.
People were going up the gangplanll
already, and Warren looked at his
watch and grinned.

This season, the decided Dutch and

women, and it still remains to be seen
what will be their decision.

were some who could not understand

continue when he had not been hurt,
or at least did not appear so.

Then came an investigation By the
directors OF the Stadiums Co. Limited,
with the result that Smith was dis
qualified and his share OF the gate

'Stadiums Limited directors held in

This would indicate that smith and
