great soul spoke forth. There were
occasions where. in his lectures at
the town college where he was pro-

face was transformed under the infu-

II was a windy day-in fact. taking
his customary stroll and forced to hold

his weather-wise eyes across the sky
and discerned hurricane conditions.

Collars Remain Low.

In any well-thought-out scheme OF
dress the collar is OF paramount i'm
portance. Last year it rose to unpre-
cedented eminence, threatening even
to hide the face of the wearer from
the gaze of an admiring world. But
there are limits even to fashion, and
this year a compromise has been ar
rived at While it points an upward
way at the back and at either side,
the collar remains open in front, the
intervening space across the neck be-
ing frequently bridged by couple OF
narrow bands of silk or velvet fas-
tened by fancy studs. A novelty in
neckwear is the stole-end collar Made
of tulle or ribbon, or chiffon, or lace,
it fastens close and high round the
throat and is provided with long, fut-
tering ends reaching to the waist o.
below it.
