changed his mind and caught his
spikes on the rubber. Harry

NeckWear Fashions.

There seems little hope for the simple
large part and parcel of neckwear Of
ferings for ten years. Fashion has de-
cided that the neckwear must either
be cut in the oblong of the middle ages
and finished with fiat stitchery or en-
broidery or that the Japanese collar OF
satin or faille must be worn. rolling
high at the back of the neck, seeming
ly unboned and unstiffened. folding
over in front and ending at the bust or
the waist.
When these collars are not of white
satin they are of old gold and pearl
gray. They are cut according to the
Japanese and Chinese fashion. only
more exaggerated in width and height.
They do not hug the back of the neck.
but stand away from it; they have no
corners; they are rounded and go out
well over the shoulders and fold in
at the trout.
Women wear tucker OF folded tulle,
across the bust, beneath the collar.
Again the inside of the collar is filled
in with folds of white silk net, gently
caught there with a brooch or a bar of
jewels. Even the simplest shirt waist
of silk or wash satin has its high,
rolling collar of the material. Organ
dy, embroidered muslin and all the
other inexpensive kinds of collars that
We're neatly attached to the neck line
and rolled fatty over on the shoulders
are placed in the second class of
fashions.
Fine laces are used for collars. but
they are of coarse weaves, such as filet
and Irish crochet, and it is smarter to
have them arranged in the Japanese
fashion than to have them placed fatty
on the shoulders.

Novelties From Japan.

The shops are always. nowadays, full
of attractive things from Japan.
1t is now possible to buy japanese
dolls. and theS1uld surely be found
interesting by tie small girl. They
are not the usual dressed doll
we'll, who knowse whether it comes
from China or Japan? 1t seems OBJ,
viously made for occidental trade. TINS
doll in question is of the kind that
real Japanese children play with and
is dressed in real Japanese children
dress. A very attractive thing about
this doll baby is that it can be bought
for prices no larger than those charged
for dolls of French and even domestic
make.
Another japanese novelty is a wide
patent leather belt-this quite likely
of American make-trimmed with ap-
piled medallions in irregular shapes of
japanese embroidery. A belt of this
sort would add an interesting touch to
a street frock of navy blue.

ing wear. for it is equally pretty in
black calf and white satin. Over the
toes is a tiny chou of satin or leather.
This model is extremely simple, in keep
ing with the new clothes, and it will
be in fashion for long time
The toe of the new shoe is neither
round nor pointed; just a healthful
sculptural cut. The heel for evening
slippers is high and curved, but half an
XVI, which means that heels are quite
moderate and simple.
1t took Parisiennes long time to
give up their dearly beloved buttoned
shoe, but once relinquished they have
taken to the laced article with enthu-
siasm. For elegance they admit the
buttoned model is the best, but the
other article now appears so feminine
to them that it is sure to remain.
French women of the old school cling
to buttons on shoes. and dealers and
them that the laced shoe is better than
the other. When buttons are used here
they are half size. and fastidious wom-
en- who can afford it have the buttons

The delicate shades of gray, pink bis
cult and beige for low shoes appear in
the windows. The beige and gray will
sell well because of their harmonizing
tone. The tan and russell. too. looks very
encouraging. and women will be invest
ing in this shoe on the first bright day
With the russell and tan the heel is
Cuban, and the newest low shoe is
rather high over the instep and laced.

fashionable, though there are many
women who prefer narrow ribbon to
laces in their shoes. All leather is var

The big sidewheel steamer st. Johns.

ties for the period of the war. She is
now at a Norfolk shipyard undergoing

few days will be turned over to the

placed under the control of the naval
authorities at Norfolk
The st. Johns is to be used for trans

The st. Johns has been allowed to

When leather becomes less costly
after the war the high boot may re-

injure the fur. A harmless way of
cleaning the furs yourself is by means
of sawdust.
Secure sawdust that is mace from as
porous woods as possible. However
any clean sawdust will do. Have plenty
of it and then rub it thoroughly into
the fur, allowing it to remain on for
eight hours at a time so as to absorb
any grease that may possibly have got
on the furs When the sawdust has been
well worked into the fur and allowed
to remain there some time shake the
fur in the open until it is out. Cornmeal
is also effective. but the SaWdust is
cheaper, and this is consideration
when one has to use it frequently. OF
course, the sawdust or cornmeal should
be used but once, as it comes away
carrying dust and soil.
Furriers use hot sand to clean furs
frequently. and this is very good, too.
For the girl at the seashore it would
be an excellent idea to get a quantity
of pure. clean sand for this purpose.
Professional furriers sometimes have a
sort of mechanical arrangement con-
tanning heated sand in which the furS
may be gently kneaded about. The anna
teur can simply heat the sand in the
oven and then rub 1t into the fur thor
oughly, as she Wouiu the sawdust. OF
course. the sand should not be excess
lively hot. 1t should never be hotter
than can easily be manipulated with
the hand.
If furs have been wet or damp they
should never be dried rapidly. They
should be arranged that the fur is
evenly exposed to the air and left to
dry thus in the open. When thorough
ly dry they should be shaken into posi-
ton. Never use comb or brush on furs.
If shaking will not restore the original
smoothness to the fur gently manipu-
late it with the fingers. carefully pick
ing apart any hairs that have become

Causes of
Gray: Hair
and how "Canute Water"
will restore it to its
youthful color

Gray hair is not generally al indi-
cation of age. 1t is often hereditary
( being common to many families.
Prolonged sorrow or worry = dan
druff and mental overwork very often
J cause grayness. Severe illness and
} constant pain or sudden fright will
cause the hair to become gray, even
in child
Thanks to this remarkable new sci
entihc discovery one can now obtain
clear and clean water. which will
restore the natural and youthful color
to gray or faded hair 1t will there
fore no longer be necessary for one
to remain gray.
The gray hair will surely yield to
the gentle, failing influence OF
this pure, clean liquid called "Canute
Water for Gray Hair"
A crystal clear water solution that
is free from sediment, odor, grease.
lead. acid, walnut stain or coal tar
products of any kind 1t is therefore
absolutely safe to use.
Day by day your gray hair will take
on more and more color The action
IS not complete after the first appli-
cation. Use it for few days, and
before the completion of the first bot
tie the youthful color of your hair
will be restored. 1t will then remain
that way and simply require re
touching once every week or two as
the hairs grow
"Canute Water for Gray Hair" is
applied by simply wetting the hair
with it. 1t is simplicity itself TO use.
Yet it works wonders.

Gray Hair" is GUARANTEED ABB

and this is little longer than skirts
have been throughout the past winter.
The bodice is a band OF brocaded vel

little deep rose or perhaps crimson in
the pattern and occasional threads of
silver. This velvet forms a wide girdle
that is all the bodice excepting
