Something new in neckwear has

and dainty pieces that came in with
the fall season. The new arrivals are
made of the same materials but have
taken their cue from the high collars

about the neck, and as wide as 1t can
be worn.
To this band of thin material. wings,
tabs, and flaring pieces are added in
q variety of shapes and finish that
seems unlimited. Fine embroidery on
sheer fabrics makes them elegant. but
their crisp daintiness is a fragile
quality. and hence it is necessary to
replace them often, for 1t is just these
qualities that they are expected to
lend to the costume. Two good ex-
amples of these novelties are pictured
here and they serve to show the es-
sential features of all of them.

in the picture above. 1t merits the

Dresses for Girls.

High waist lines are the rule for the
little girls thin dresses. Like grown
up dresses. the skirts of these dresses
are very fiaring and frilly.
The skirts of tulle and chiffon
dresses or those of lingerie, batiste or
very thin silk are often finished at
the hem with three little rufties. These
are only about three or four inches
in width and are not gathered very
full. A picot edging is used often
instead Of lace to finish them, or a
very narrow satin ribbon. perhaps
in a double lengthwise stripe.
Little pulled sleeves that come only
halfway to the elbow are considered
very correct, and they go well with
the general empire contour of the
gown.
In linen dresses the empire waist
line has a belt of the same that has
a slot. inset in the middle Of 1t OF an

HOW TO GROW PRIMR0SES
By BESSIE L. PUTNAM.


The best way to propagate prim-
roses is from seeds, which should be
sown in May or June. or as soon as
the soil becomes thoroughly warm.
The seeds are quite small, but are
easily started by sowing in a box or
a bed. The soil must be sifted fine
and of a moldy consistency which will
not bake or become hard. Press the
surface of the soil smooth and level.
SOW the seed evenly and thinly. and
cover lightly. 1t is a mistake to SOW
deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and
covered, that is, protected from the
rain. wind and hot sun, until the
plants appear. It requires from three
weeks to a month to bring plants to
the surface, then they must be care
fully busted with a little tobacco and
sulphur mixed. to keep down the
fungus and insects.
The primrose requires moist. but
not wet soil. and II the soil Is al
lowed to dry out before the plants ap-
pear, propagation will be greatly re-
tarded or entirely stopped.
Used in borders or in pots. the lit

The collar at the right Is one Of
several designs in which a double row
of tabs Is set on about the top. In
each of these designs the upper and
under row of tabs are unlike in shape
and length. Both are finished with
fine embroidery, and the effect of the
two thicknesses of sheer material Ia
very dainty.
All Of these new collars set up very
close about the neck and only q few
of them are suited to the short-necked
figure. These are those having Q
wide standing band shaped to appar-
emily lengthen the neck, and a fiaring
portion that extends only about the
sides and back. But the girl who can
not wear the wide standing collar may
console herself by rejecting on how
well she can wear the fashionable
evening bodice, which leaves neck
and shoulders and arms uncovered.
One should not fail to notice, when
considering neckwear, the "choker'' of
narrow black velvet ribbon. about an
inch wide. which is worn so effective
ly with evening gowns. II Is fastened
with a little fat bow and a small
sparkling jewel in a pin is sometimes

GARDEN NOTES

Plant hardy bulbs in the open
ground as long as the ground can be
worked.
Gala lilies requires an abundance
of water at this season.
Make the rows in your garden
straight. Crooked rows show that
the gardener is careless and while
the straight rows may not guarantee
success they show careful attention
and are slightly.
Roses, violets, deutzias, dicentras,
daises for winter and spring forcing
should be potted and stored in The
cellar or cold pit. In taking them
into the heat during the winter do not
commence forcing too rapidly. The
same applies to forcing hardy bulbs.
Avoid taking plants into the con-
servatory TOO soon after they have
been rooted. Gradually accustom
them to the confined air of the room
by keeping them indoors during cold
nights and cool weather, exposing
them fully to the air, shaded from the
direct rays of the sun, during fine
weather.

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS
BY LIMA ROSE.

II you know the needs Of the dit

For geraniums and the ordinary va

parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part well-rotted manure and one part

For ferns, begonias and such foliage
plants-Two parts loan. one part leaf

For palms or roses--Two parts clay
