After Returning From Your Vacation the Question, ''Who Is My Neighbour? Is Not Amiss and It Is
 Soon Proven By Certain Facts Herein Recorded

W F ACATIoN weeks speed upon cleo w tric currents in this year of grace
 V and heat 1917, and, like Nevin's Rosary" the restful days spent at mountain or seashore are as beads that slip all too quickly through elinging fingers. We absolutely get to dread them because at the end there the cross of work is hung!
 Yet in spite of this there may be joy in resuning accustomed duties since the daily routine brings one again into the midst of neighbors.
 There is a Biblical case concerning a certain lawyer who asked:
 ''Who is my neighbour"
 He was answered with the beautiful parable of the Good Samaritan designed to illustrate the truth that he who shows kindness to those nearest at hand is our neighbor.
 Now, this may be applied aproposly to he returning vacationer; to get back home to locked-up, deserted, dreary looking house, after you've been absent for months, is not an exhilarating exper- ience True after the dusty, grlmy trip you've had on the train you jump into taxi and speed homeward with great deal of anticipation of joy.

what might have been a dreary, weary, sort of getting back, is made to be posi- lively festive and gay, for back of the material demonstration of the neighbor's S firendliness in providing food and drink, is the Samaritan care for the travelling and weary.
 How different is the unthoughtful, sell fish neighbor who thinks of nothing but his own comfort and pleasure
 Such one can scarcely answer to the title of 'neighbor," though, for neighbor means, according to the dictionary, "one who lives near another; ones felloW-man, one entitled to consideration, a friend.'

 There is an epidemic threatened of home sewing. The seamstress by the day has a chance to come into her own from Oc- tober on Alteration will be the style, for conservation and economy are printed on the banners of patriotism. None is so willing to carry out both qualities as the woman who earns her living because she does both well. So all the fur pieces that are stored away should be brought into the sunlight and the advance patterns should be observed to see If what Is old can be made to appear new.

DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS ANN. n,lPs,uop.p FOR WOMEN
By ANNE RITTENHOUSE
Wide scarfs of peltry are placed across the shoulders which appear to be small capes.

i small capes.
 New York, August 23.-As far as the season has advanced in fur fashions, there seems to be direct rivalry between the cape and the high collar. That type of neck wear that we call a coachman' s collar last season has come into the styles again as gaily and arrogantly as though it had forgotten that it was laid on the shelf over six months.
 The cape is a part and parcel of the overwhelming fashion for that kind of garment. Every tailor and dressmaker goes to work on new cape effect when ever business or creativeness in other 1 clothes gets dull. Long, short, coored or sombre hues follow each other in an interesting procession.
 So with the high choker collar and the shoulder cape both in the picture again, 1t is natural that the rurriers see their way made clear to initiate in peltry what is done in cloth. They will bring to it a few new markings of their own. And by so doing they will make it more fash ionable to wear a piece of peltry that IS stamped by the design or today than to
 
 tails that has adorned the shoulders of women for several years.
 Much that is original will be demanded of those who shape fur this season, and it is well that we have a host of Russians in this country who know how to put the small pieces together with trained fingers and willing minds. The master designers may be lacking in a. country that has always captured many hide bearing animals and sent them to Paris to be dyed and shaped. but the final re- suit should be good.
 PEDIGREE OF PELTRIES
 It is rare we question the name of the hides that are sold to us. We might be shocked if the truth were suddenly thrust at us. But what ma tiers it if the peltry belonged to a cat instead of a sable if It looks we'll and has an air The trick is in the cutting and shaping, after all and not in the pedigree Of the beast that gave it up, unwillingly, to suit woman's Whim.
 It would please many or us no doubt. to know that some dead domestic thing had been stripped in an Arctic winter and left to starve until the Indian trapper came around to gather it up. It is quite well for women who are tender hearted not to ask too many questions about the piece of fur they wear, of it's name or its kind of death.
 We'll why be mournful? Fur is fashion able; fur is worn by those who have heart as well as those who have it not, and whatever the purse. 1t is stretched to make it meet the price of a bit of animals hide to swing about the shoul- ders Much of it has been obtained In
