NEW YORK FASHION
LETTER
Special Correspondence to the Sank Centre Herald

bear a resemblance one with the other
This season the high collar has
been the newest note in these waists.
A few good models have been made
with the high collar, but it is much
harder to achieve than the waist with
the round, wedge or rolling collars.
Some of the waists are made with a
V neck and a high collar above it,
leaving a little of the neck and chest
exposed. This is unique, but gives
such a look of something left out, or
unfinished that it is scarcely popular.
Others are made with a straight
band around the neck and ruff of
net or chiffon above and below it. The
best of the high-necked waists button
up the front, from the waistline to
top of the collar. A stunning waist
which saw not long ago was made
with the collar in one with the body
of the waist, the shoulder seam ex-
tending into the side seam of the COL
lar. This collar wrinkles around the
neck charmingly and was held from
working down into a string around
the neck by bones at the back and
sides of the collar.
1t does not seem possible that these
high-collared blouses and frocks will
altogether supersede the low collars
which we have been wearing so long.
The women have felt the comfort of
going without anything about the
throat, the necks have revived from
the old tight collars and become more
beautiful, and it does not seem as
they could consent to the wearing of
them again.
There is no way to tell what the
lingerie waist of the summer will be-
come. There is said to be a revival
of the old Northumberland" waists
and trimming of braid and buttons in
military effect in the front.
Dainty wolfe waists are shown some
pin-tucked and others of the plain
material trimmed with washable
braid or cord and little soft crochet
buttons and with a dainty collar
which stands high in the back, but
does not keep the front of the neck
from being free and open to the air
Overblouse and coatee are very
popular and will no doubt be used, es-
pecially for the very dressy waists.
The chiffon or chiffon cloth blouse
of putty, sand, or biscuit color are

Ancient Music,

Exploration in Bible lands has led
to the discovery of a wealth of mate
rails throwing light upon the arts and
crafts which are referred to in the
Old Testament. The discoveries relat-
ing to music have a charm all their
own, and excavations at Nippur show.

With a Separate Skirt "f Blue Ga
bardine, is Worn Waist of
Sand ColOred Net

very smart and practical this winter
They are made with high collars and
usually button up the front. The
waist of crepe de Chine is also very
good, especially where made with
large revers which fall gracefully in
the front.
In an illustration I show a blouse
collarless, with the neck cut in the
new Callot square, which is most be-
coming and far less trying than the
usual square or Dutch neck. The mod
ell is developed in craquele net and
untrimmed except for a cord outlin-
ing the neck. The skirt worn with
this waist is an excellent one for the
separate skirt, as it is made with a
yoke and front in one and pleats at
the side, causing the skirt to flare in
the up-to-date manner at the sides.

Of the powder boys took off his coat
hurriedly, and it went over the rail
into the water. He turned to the near

jump overheard and recover it.
Naturally the request was refused,

the ship, climbed down the ladder.

floating and came back with it.
The action was noticed, and the Off

Bow Scouts Band.

The First Pennsylvania Boy Scout
band of Lewistown, Pa. has received
much attention of late on account Of
the excellence of the boys playing and
their smart appearance. The boys have
been on several trips-to Canada,
where they were enthusiastically re-
ceived; to Washington at the time Of
the Inauguration of President Wilson,
and many other places, where they
have taken part in various celebra-
lions.

Clean the Pens,

1t is often temptation to shirk
some of the less inviting work in the
poultry yard. but in many cases these
things are the very ones that should be
done in a thorough manner. The care
of the droppings is one of the unpleas-
ant tasks. but it should never be neg
lected. for this is one of the menaces
to the health of the fowls. Never leave
them long enough to be offensive Ii
the droppings are taken out every day
all the better.

ing beautiful. When it is at rest on a

~closed-no lights were allowed, the
cafes could not be open, the theaters
were shut down, and a curfew told
people that their lights must be out.
1t was natural that this should affect
business, but now things are changed
and are taking on a much more nor
NAL outlook.
The dressmaking houses which
have kept open are doing business,
with the United States at least, and
Rodier, the great manufacturer of
fabrics reports that he is furnishing
materials to the Callot sisters, Cher
uit, Premet and Beer.
The theaters are opening and many
are crowded, but not by the fashion
able audience that one would expect
under different circumstances. The
women of Paris are avoiding the ex-
tremes which have always been their
hobby in style. The very tight skirt
which was thought would by this
time be the Partisan style of the mo-
ment, has not yet been fully accepted.
However, the gowns which were worn
by the actresses had certain elements
worth remembering.
A dress of black velvet, which was
worn by a French actress, had long,
tight-ftting sleeves and square, low
neck, with a Medici collar in the back.
The skirt was full and drawn in
around the bottom. A length of the
velvet was draped over the hips and
ended in a train. The entire gown
was devoid of trimming, which gave
a richness that no amount Ct embel
ishment could have aided.
Long sleeves are to be seen on all
gowns. 1 asked a prominent New
York dressmaker not long ago if she
would make long sleeves for summer
and she replied: 81 most certainly
will unless my customers insist other
wise"
A charming afternoon dress is pic
tured herewith which shows some
what the bolero effect, together with
the long sleeves, which are striking
features of the present styles. The
waist is made with an underwaist of
crepe de Chine with the bolero effect
in wide lace. The sleeves of this out
ter waist are short and of the lace,
while long net sleeves extend to the
wrist. The skirt of crepe de Chine is
shirred several times at the waist and
hips, and is fininshed at the top with
a frill of itself. The graduated
bands of net are the only trimming
on the skirt. This is a frock which
may be worn again and again, as its
long sleeves and high collar give it
distinctly daytime air, while the ma
terial makes it elaborate enough for
many evening functions.
The separate waist takes on differ
ent features with the changing of the
season, and there is no end to the
numerous models, although they all

Oats are one of the best egg pro-

their use is imperative during the rear

played a part in the feeding of the
growing stock they should be gradu-

to the indigestibility of the husks of
oats. the fowls fed with them should

The henhouse on the farm is as
important a building as that for
any of the live stock. The farmer
too often considers the hen as mere
ly a side issue and not worth much
trouble. little thought and figur-
ing will convince him of the fallacy
Of this belief. The hen when given
a fair show is the best paying an
imal on the farm. The illustration
shows a good henhouse for the
farm. 1t should be frequently
cleaned and in summer should be
sprayed with whitewash or some
bug killing fluid.

Just to show how the sale of exist ing railroads in Alaska is viewed out side the following article from the Seattle Star is enlightenins:
 The Copper River X Northwestern Railroad crosses the Copper river on a s2,000, 900 steel bridge short dis tance below the Childs glacier A short distance indeed, The north prong of that ice river has just ad vanced 1860 feet in single year, and at present is only 400 feet from the bridge!
