Collars of Felt.

A new feature In blouses is felt trim
ming. Some Of the geOrgette Grape
models have collars and cuffs of felt
attached to the blouse by bits Of en-
broidery in the cross stitch or by
French knots. Such blouses are cut
low, v neck in front, with the felt col
lar turning down across the back.
Blouses are as often seen with high
collars as with low V cut, and there is
a way of combining the two in a novel
manner. A long, straight piece of chif-
fon of the same material of which the
blouse is made is attached at the neck
In the back and is brought around the
throat and tied In bow over the V cut
or is crossed In front, with the two en-
broidered ends hanging over the Shout
ders in scarf fashion.
Many such novel ideas are to be
noted In the blouses and especially the
peplum embroidered blouses.

STORY OF GLAUcUS.

Glaucus was a fisherman. He lived
long ago-so long ago that there isn't
any way for me to prove that my story
Is really true, so you can believe 1t or
not, as you like.
His home was on the seashore, and
he was very poor. He caught fish and
sold them to buy food and clothing.
Some people thought Glaucus but an
idle fellow because he loved to sit in
his boat and look at the waves and sky
instead of casting his net into the
ocean and filling it with fish. He would
sometimes seem as pleased with a
pretty shell found on the shore as with
the finest fish that he caught for the
market
Glaucus loved the sea and all the
beautiful things that grew in it and
the graceful forms that swan through
its waters. When he caught more fish
than he needed for his days living he
would throw them back into the water
and watch them wistfully as they
swan away, for Glaucus wondered
about the great world under the wa
tiers and longed to see it for himself.
with its mermaids and mermen and
strange water nymphs and water gods
about whom the country people talked
on chilly evenings beside their fires.
One day Glaucus drew his net out of
lie water near an island. The net was
20 full of fish that he thought he would
and and empty them out on the shore
\ strange plant which he had never
zen before grew close to the shore,
md when the young fisherman threw
Town his fish those who touched this
plant tapped their fins and before he
could prevent it jumped back into the
water and went swimming away.
Glaucus looked at the little plant.
He nibbled a bit of it. Then he was
overcome by great longing to go into
the water. Without the slightest fear
he leaped in and went swimming after
the fish.
Soon he reached the palace of the
sea king Oceanus, who sat high on
throne of coral and pearls. The king
received Glaucus very kindly. When
the king heard how pleased the fisher
man was with the ocean world and
how much he wished to live there in
stead of upon the earth Oceanus sent
him to a magic fountain, and when
Glaucus bathed in this he was wonder
fully changed. Ee became a sea green
sea god, with green hair and a fish's
tail to swim with instead of legs to
walk on.
