Modes in Collars
New York, April 8

All dresses are full short whether for
morning, afternoon, or evening wear.
Collars are high in the back with some
kind of an opening in front. One dress
of black taffeta has collar high in the
back with haring white organdy col
lar above; around the collar and tying
in bow in front is piece of black
ribbon, giving the collar an old time
stock appearance. Below the ribbon
bow is an open V, where the bare neck
shows. Another rather military model
with V-neck has collar high in the
back and coming a little forward, where
it is caught by loop of cord to brass
button on each side.
Many skirts are finished with a
slashed or scalloped lower edge, which
is bound with the same or a contrasting
material. One striking and practical
dress which | have recently seen with
this feature was of black voile over taf-
feta, in shade of plum verging onto
old rose. The bodice of the dress had
almost the appearance of jacket. The
voile was fitted plain over the silk and
both were gathered together at the
waistline, so it had the appearance of
being a shadowy solid color. The collar

templating a trip to the Pan-American
Exposition. The sightseeing public
will stay in America this summer and
hence there is unusual interest in our
scenic attractions. The grand canyon
of the Colorado is without peer in the
whole universe, and the Natural History
Society feels that not only tourists and
naturalists should know of this great
wonder of nature, but every patriotic
citizen as well.
The walls of this water-worn trench
are often vertical, or nearly so, for a
distance of 1000 feet at time; some-
times they slope steeply or constitute
magnificent terraces. The cliffs attain
a height Of from 1000 to 1000 feet
above the stream. The canyon is so
deep and narrow at places that little or
no sun reaches the bottom at certain
times of the year.
The Investigation of the biologists
have dispelled the theory once held that
the grand canyon was fracture of the
earth 5 crust. 1t is now clear that a
long period of erosion throught plateaus
successfully uplifted has produced this
remarkable gorge.
