Here nre pictured two collars and
n collar with vestee, which are recent
additions to the already great array
OF neckwear. The collars are made
OF transparent organdie and the collar
and vestee Of sheer organdle trimmed
with Venetian lace insertion. Collars
and yestees of this kind are literally
used in finishing plain waists and
blouses in all sorts of materials to
give them the summery touch and the
becomingness Of white about the face.
There is little difference In the two
collars. Both are large enough to be
classed among small capes and both
are made of plain, transparent organ
die. This material lends itself per-
fectly to narrow plaitlngs, and each
of these cape collars Is covered with
rows Of plaitings set close together.
In the collar at the left they are
stitched to the foundation cape and
turned over, and II is necessary TO
press them down. In the other collar
the plaitlngs are hemstltched to the
plain cape.
The small vestee is frilled on to
short yoke at, the front and slips
under the sides Of the bodice, leaving
the collar free to fall over the shoul-
ders and back. These manufactured
accessories are well made and accur-
ntely cut and are so inexpensive that

at home. They are particularly useful
for remodelng blouses and are the

More Comma TO Him.

There was no doubt about the fact
that Jack MacFaddy was a Scotsman.
Last year, when Journeying to the
country on an important errand, he
left his purse, containing nearly $500
in gold and silver, at the railway sta.
tion from which ne started.
He telegraphed the fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept until his
return a month later.
II was young clerk who handed
Jockie MacF. his wee purse with the
"spondies" as he set foot out OF the
train. and certain wild hopes were
making the young mans heart beat q
trine unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding-and when he'd
finished he looked up lsag and sus.
piciously at the young man.

latter, In bewllderment.

The theory that Sir Walter Raleigh
was the author of the dramatic litera-
ture known as the plays of Shakes
peare is now under discussion. 1t is
worthy of note that most people asso-
ciate Sir Walter very intimately with
tobacco. This Is because he intro
duced the use of the weed into the
United Kingdom, and also no doubt
because of the memorable story of his
Irish servant, seeing smoke issuing
from his mouth, fearing that he was
on fire, and throwing pail of water
over him to put him out. Perhaps it
is also worthy of note that the word
tobacco" cannot be found in Shakes
peare's plays.
