spring wardrobe, for costumes of any
sort are not well finished without
them. They are an essential part of
the mode and sometimes the feature
OF greatest Importance in the garment

the Importance of collars for IL Is In
this particular that they differ from
blouses of past seasons.
Separate collars of organdie, SWISS

are shown in considerable variety
OF styles. with favor turning To those
that are daintily finished rather than
To much decoration. Tassels having
attached themselves To everything
else that women wear. find themselves
particularly well placed on the new
collars. A good example of this kind
appears in the picture with n tassel
depending from the point of a collar
OF batiste edged with narrow crochet

and shaped in the manner Of a sailor

The mighty Andean mountain range
of South America, the highest i'm the

The feat was accomplished by two men
in a balloon. The aeronauts left San

descended five hours later in Mendoza,
on the eastern slope of the range, in
the Argentine Republic. They report
ed a very difficult trip, and had TO rise
to great height to catch Il favorable
air current So far the Andes have
not been crossed by airplane.
