NEW NECK FIXINGS.

There are new neck filings every
week, and it is as much as one able
bodied woman can do to keep up with
them.
. Do you know how to make those
tulle scarfs that are SO smartly worn
with evening frocks? OF course, you
can simply buy a couple of yards OF
tuIIe in a color you want and wind
it couple of times around your neck,
after you have donned your frock,
and call it finished. But you can do
something more than this. You can
gather the ends of the tulle into
tassel of silk or of gold and silver,
scarf. The heavy tassels pull the ends
down in "a very effective way. You
can use finishing ornament OF pearl
beads and sequins. instead of the tas-
sells. with equally good results.
The band of narrow and very bright
ribbon about the neck is still worn
with white blouses and dark frocks.
Sometimes this ribbon is simply crossed
over at the front and pinned, and some
times it is run through sort of slide
or buckle.
The ribbons that are used for this
purpose are varied in color and style.
Some have crosswise stripes, and a
regular Roman stripe color scheme is
followed some SnO" pam ColOTeu
grounds with round dots of white or
some other color embroidered on them.
Others are striped lengthwise, and
still others are in plain color with a
picot edge or little line of metallic
thread along the edges.
There are lovely new things in net
and georgette crepe and muslin that
can be used for fichuS. These are
strips of the material eight or ten
inches wide. with an edging of fine
pleats or a finely gathered ruffie, set
on with hemstitching or tucks. Some
times the edge of the ruffle is whipped
with black thread or color. The edge
is finished on one side so that when
the material is doubled. fichu fashion.
through the center, the two little
ruff1es will be right side up. This ma
teriai can be cut in two for frills or
the arms, and 1t can also be bought
finished with a ruff1e only at one side.

The black skirt joins this blouse at
the hips under u black land white pip
ing. 1t is quite plain, rather full and
stitched with deep hem at its upper
edge.
This combination of black and white
startles us a bit, for we are not ia
miliar with it, but it really has as much
merit as the conventional combination
of a white shirt and d black skirt
which meet at the waist.
The average woman may wish a coat
of black silk to wear over this one
piece frock, but if she decides on it
let her remember that it must be no
longer than the end of the white shirt

No matter how trim they are above the
waist, they flare out into godet ripples

Mrs. Grouse in Dreadful
Trouble.

Mrs Grouse is an early riser. She is
an early riser for two or three reasons.
In the first place. she goes to bed early.
She goes to bed at about the same time
jolly round Mr.. Sun does, and in the
winter this is very early. as you know.
That means that by the time the Black
shadows begin to disappear from the
Green Forest Mrs. Grouse has had all
the sleep she needs, and not being
given to laZiness she is ready for the
days work Does she work? Why, of
course. All the little Meadow and For
est people work They work for their
FOOD, and sometimes, especially in win
ter, when food is scare, they work very
hard And this is another reason why
Mrs Grouse is an early riser. After
sleeping all night her stomach is
! empty and she wants to get her break
1aSt before too many enemies
abroad.
So. just at the first hint of daylight
the morning after Reddy Fox had dis
covered the queer little brush fence in
the Green Forest Mrs. Grouse burst out
from under the snow, where she had
spent the night in warmth and comfort,
shook the snow from her feathers,
looked this way and that way to make
sure that no danger was near. and then
started out to get something to eat.
Now. up on a certain hillside. where the
snow was not deep, were wintergreen
. berries and partridge berries to be found
by patient scratching, and straight to
this hillside went Mrs. Grouse. Every
where else>food was scarce and she had
been saving this particular place for
just such time. She had not been
near it for some time Now. when she
reached it, the first thing she noticed
was that little, low fence Of brush. She
stopped and looked at it.
Now, where did that come from? ?"
thought she. 1T wasn't here the last
time I was here. 1t goes right across
my feeding ground. Queer, very queer.
how it happens to be here. / think I'll
take closer look at 1t. 1t is nothing
but brush and cannot possibly hurt
me-"
So, Mrs. Grouse slowly walked to-
ward the little brush fence, her bright
eyes shining with curiosity. When she
reached it she found it quite as harm
less as she had supposed. 1t was Moth
ing but brush. Presently, as she walk
ed along, she came to a little opening
in it. One of Peter Rabbits little paths
led right through it.
That's very handy thought Mrs.
Grouse Il believe I'll go through and
see how it looks on the other side"
Just then she happened to notice a
ing in the opening. And yet it wasn't
like any vine she had ever seen. There
was something queer about it. She was
so curious about it that she had no eyes
for anything else, and trying to get
good look through that little opening
queer little loop. she stepped right in
another Just such little loop spread out
on the snow. Instantly little bent
tree, which she had not noticed, flew
up straight. That little moose on the
snow seemed to jump right up around

SHIRT WAISTS HEIGHTENED TO HIPS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, February 19.-There is
new activity along the line of short
waists in every quarter where fashion
able designing is done. All sorts of
rumors come from Paris. principally
that colorcd wooden voiles are to be
used for separate blouscs, and again
that hcmstitchng and drawnwork are
to be the principal ornamenting of
hIouses of organdy and muslin as well
as those Of wolfe.
The onc-piece frock in one color is
doing its best to throw the separate
shirt waists into the shadows. but that
feeling of loyalty in the AngloSaxon
toward that which they have tried
and not found wanting. whether it be
animate or Inauimate. is extended to-
ward fashions. Their loyalty toward
the separate wash waist has extended
over decades.
Those who have artistic feelings for
dress have always argued Il against the
separation OF color at the waist line,
aud have strcnuou$ly argued that a
woman looks best III Il COStun" that
keeps one color il an unhrokeu line
from bust to ankles This is true
artisticall,- there are thousands of
women rs mo discard art for practical
bility or INCLINATION.
There is really no economy in the
separate white shirt waist: in large
cities where laundry is dear it becomes
an actual extravaganza. Yet. the fact
remains that American women IN mass
like the white shirt waist, and they
viii continue to wear IL as long as they
care Tor 1t.
For tive seasons the designers have
tried to yFean them away from pure

Buckles on Spring Shoes.

Buckles are used on practically all
pumps for spring, and very large
ones are the most fashionable, some
measuring as much as two and one
half inches across. An oval buckle OF
oxidized sterling silver is attractively
engraved and set with amethyst-color-
ed stones. Another buckle is of bright
silver with q simple engraved border,
measuring two inches across. Large
square buckles are also of engraved
silver. Large cut steel buckles IN all
shapes are very popular.

Oyster Possibilities.

1t is said that in one year one oyster
has descendants to the number Of three
or four thousand. So it is not very
strange that each year enormous oyster
harvests are reaped in almost all parts
of the world. Therefore, it is no wonder
that there are as many good ways Of
serving oysters as there are of serving
any other staple of diet.
For few years we were little
afraid of oysters. But now. we are as
sured by authority, the oyster beds
have been pretty well supervised and
only pure oysters enter the markets
of reputable dealers.
Raw oysters can never be improved
upon by any of the methods of cook
ing One Of the most attractive ways
TO serve raw oysters is to arrange them
on the half shell on a plate of finely
chopped ice with a little cup made Of
half a red or green pepper. filled with
horseradish or tomato ketchup in the
center.
Oysters can be creamed and served in
patty shells. They can be dipped into
fritter batter and fried. They can be
minced and added to an omelet that Is
ready to turn. They can be chopped
and added to pancake batter. They can
be minced and made into croquettes
:. One way to serve scalloped oysters is
In their own shells. To do this cook
the oysters in their own liquor for four
minutes and drain. With some of the
liquor make a thickened sauce. Put the
oysters back into their own shells as
soon as they are cooked, cover with a
little of the sauce and some buttered
cracker crumbs and bake. Oysters can
be prepared in the same way, of course,
in ramekins.
oyster sandwiches are made by chop
ping dozen oysters and mixing them
with two tablespoonfuls of cream, but
ter the size of walnut, a tablespoon
full of bread crumbs and salt and pepper
to taste. Simmer for few minutes and
then add the yolk Of an egg, beaten
well. Remove from the fire and pour
into mold to harden. Slice thin and

To Keen Lace Cream Colored.

Those who want to keep laces the
same delicate cream color as when
bought will be glad to learn how 1t is
done. After careful washing and rims
ing have ready the following: Beat an
egg to froth. add one quart or less OF
cold water, according to the tint re-
quired. Place the lace in this and move
it gently through the egg water sew
eral times. Then squeeze gently and
hang in the shade to dry. When about
half dry. put between two cloths and
iron. No starching is needed il these
directions are followed. This Is a Sc
cret given by an old pillow lace worker.
Important points of the separate
waist are bright colors, sheer fabrics,
together with the combination of ma
terials and of colors.

evening frocks. Sometimes one shout

The surplice closing stsll gives a one

There is also sometimes a diagonal
line in the skirt closing that adds to
the one-sided effect.

Roundabout trimming is used to EN-

new skirts
Sometimes it takes the form of many
ruffies-as many as five or seven
which makes up the skirt. These are
sometimes made of chiffon, tulle or
some other very thin material. and
each is edged with a fold or band of
silk or velvet, to give body.

Society recognizes this as a good
form of relieving cash. Open up a

WAGES AND HOURS. =


tory laws that are not in accord with
natural law are inefficient and gener-
ally fail to produce the desired re-
suit. Minimum wage laws and laws
restricting the hours of labor fail to a
large extent to better the conditions
of labor. They are arbitrary edicts
forbidding the doing Of things that
wrongful institutions, privileges and
laws are constantly forcing people
to do.
Men will not work for inadequate
wages and for long hours unless eco
nomic conditions are such that they
are forced to do so or starve. They
will not allow their children to be
exploited and enslaved unless poverty
grinds and hunger and cold drives
them to it. So the whole question
revolves around the matter of
abundant opportunity for the en-
pIoyment of labor and adequate
wages. 1t is of no use for legislators
to say to the women and children
thou shalt not work ten hours
when hunger and cold drives them to
the contrary. Such laws help little.
