SOMETHING new IN COLLARS
Sort Of Second Cousin to the One
Made Of celIuIoid Has Recently
Been Introduced.

The separate starched collar was
invented about ninety-two years ago
by the wife Of blacksmith living at
Troy, N. Y, who made one for her
husband. Since then 1t has grown in
popularity until there is probably no.
body who has not worn starched
collar at some time or other. Now
its popularity is on the decline again,
partly on the score of comfort and
partly as result of the war. -.
The cruX of the matter does not
lie with the collar itself, though that
is made from material which is use
full for bandages. It's the starch that
is to be saved-valuable foodstuff that
ought not to be wasted on collars,
says Popular Science Monthly.
A permanently stiffened collar is
being introduced which is not cellu-
loid, but is a regular fabric collar
treated with kind of varnish that
makes it possible to clean 1t under the
tap or with damp cloth. Automo-
bilists should be among those who ap-
preciate this new fabric, for, in spite
Of road dust, it is always possible to
"feel clean" in a clean collar. A COL
lar Of this kind will last from two
weeks to a month.

Chinese Omens.

The Chinese people never associate
dreams with lobster salad. Their art
ist represents dreams pictorially by
means Of spiral or curl, as of vapor,
proceeding from the dreamer's head
and broadening out until large enough
to receive the figures which enter into
and compose the dream.
They believe that gorillas and bears
are omens Of sons, and serpents and
snakes Of daughters. (The ladies have
Grandma Eve to thank for that.) If
you dream of dwarf, things will not
60 well; your enterprise will stick
halfway and you will be a laughing
stock to all; If Of sweet perfume, you
will meet women and girls; of bam-
boos, you will become a recluse; of
combs, there will be separation; of
willows, you will shortly travel, and II
you dream Of broken bcd some III
will befall your wife.

LEARNED FROM GOLF EXPERT
Fred Luderus, Who Had Habit Of Step.
ping Forward at Plate, Is Shown
Error of his Ways.

1t is said that Fred Luderus, one of
the most dangerous hitters in the Ma
tional league, really became an effec-
tive batter through the instructions Of
a golf expert.
This golf expert was in the city
where the Phillies were training. He
noticed that Luderus had tendency to
step forward and throw his body in
front of the plate as he prepared to
swing at the ball. Now to a golfer
that was fatal weakness. The good
golfer always throws his body into the
swing. It Is certain that If the body
goes forward first the only power re-
naming in the swing is that of the
crus alone.
This expert noted that when Luderus
net the ball there was no force to the
blow and easy grounders trickled of
his bat. He coached Luderus on his
stance, as he called 1t, and explained
the necessity of getting the force be-
hind the blow. Luderus tried 1t and
after time began to belt the ball with
terrific force. And any big league play
er will tell you now that Luderus GER
tainly has wallop.

"sCENT CAPS" FOR THE HAIR
Locks May Be Perfumed by Wearing
the Little Head Covering Ono
Night q Week. ai

Any woman may add a dainty and
completing touch to the toilet by per-
fuming the hair and may accomplish
1t with little or no expense. But Of
two thihgs she must be very sure, and
they are that the perfume Is very
delicate and that conflicting scents
are never used.
If one prefers to use a liquid, good
results are obtained by spraying the
hair, after it has been shampooed and
while 1t Is loosely hanging, with an
atomizer.
Or the perfume may be rubbed into
the palms Of the hand or upon the
bristles of the hairbrush and rubbed
or brushed Immediately over the head.
But the best result Is achieved by
wearing "scent caps" for they cover
the hair and also protect 1t from un-
welcome snarls. All that is needed is
a circular cloth large enough to keep
the hair free and allow circulation Of
air. It may be fitted to the head by
an elastic, but not too tight one, or
the circulation will be stopped. Silk
and silkoline are the best materials.
for they are so sheer An interlining
Is necessary, and this may be Of the
thinnest cashmere, for that holds the
odor well. Between the inner and out.
er caps sprinkle any kind Of sachet
you may desire. Orris root Is sweet
and lasting, but never cloying. Thor
oughly brush and comb the hair at
night and braid 1t loosely. Then don
the light little cap one night week.
The hair will acquire a delicate scent.
Tiny sachet pads sewed into ones
hats take little time and trouble to
arrange, and they help the hair to re-
tain the sweetness which exposure to
the air might otherwise destroy. !;

Materials Not Included in Goods
Needed by Government.
FURS ARE IN GREAT VARIETY
Plain Clothes Are Obviating Fabrics
Demanded by the War Depart
ment-considered- by
Loyal Women.

The shortest road to economy just
now is to use the materials not de-
manded by the war department, no
matter how expensive the substitutes
may be. At least so says the govern
ment. That ordinary aid to vanity,
common starch, notes correspondent,
may be a luxury the next thing we
know, for 1t is used extensively in the
manufacture of explosives. However,
so far nothing has been said about the
use or manufacture Of satin, lace and
fur, although it does appear extrava-
CANT to wear them at this time.
Whatever the modes may express,
femininity Is first and foremost, and
the materials at hand fit in well in
deed with the atmosphere Of the pres
ent moment. Very plain clothes are in
order, too, it Is noted, but for strictly
business purposes, and when that very
busy person, the modern young wom-
an, doffs her uniform or working
clothes, it Is to present herself in as
nearly the opposite type Of costume
as opportunity affords.
Satin is q fabric which is always
fascinating. Once in a great while It
becomes little too prevalent and has
to be dropped for time, only to re-
appear more triumphantly than ever.
Time can not stale or dim its luster,
and for the present 1t is as popular as
ever. In the lighter colors it Is far too
brilliant for use in most daytime
clothes, but at night these shades have
their turn.
Combined with navy and darker
shades beige and gray satin are ex-
cellently suitable for wraps and trot-
teur dresses, but so much has been
written and seen of this costume that
further mention is unnecessary. Satin
for capes and long all-enveloping
wraps has grown in favor for the last
few weeks and it must be classified as
truly smart. A good looking cape Of
tan satin had reverse side Of very
dark blue and was bordered all the
way round the bottom with deep fringe
Of both blue and tan. The collar roll
ing over below the shoulder line was
Of blue, and the whole cape was re-

BAG.PILL0W A NEW NOVELTY
Efficiency and Comfort Kit and Soft
ness Of Real Pillow Combined
In the Outfit.

All the efficiency Of the comfort kit
and the .softness Of q real pillow are
combined In pretty novelty. Just
why it was not thought Of long ago
Is a mystery, but 1t gives the added
charm Of novelty to the lucky pos
SCISSOR. =,
Cut a strip Of material just double
the length you wish the pillow to be
and fit 1t up with three or four pock-
cts, the largest one half the length
Of the strip. This is to contain the pill
low. In the others one may stock the
various articles that are necessary on
a hike or at the seashore. Long han
dies Of the cloth make 1t convenient
to carry.
OF course, the choice of material
rests with you. Cretonne and plain
material, painted oilcloth lined with
waterproof material, denim or crash
embroidered in bright-colored wool in
some conventional design, are just a
few Of the many pretty ways In which
1t may be carried out.

How to Dress for Rainy Days.

II we give but few minutes to the
selection Of our clothes for rainy days,
we can add with our dress much Of the
warmth and cheerfulness that Is lack
ing In nature. Bright-colored dresses
are appropriate and give a pleasant
note to otherwise gloomy surround
ings.
If one must 60 outside Of the home
in rainy weather, high shoes with rub
bers, a short dark skirt which does
not soil easily with rain and mud, q
raincoat, a rain hat and dark gloves
should be worn. However, bright.
colored tie or blouse will give a warm
not to the costume when the wraps are
removed. Red Is a color Of warmth
and looks well on rainy days. Golden
brown, purple and bright shades Of
blue and green are cheerful colors.
Dull grays, blues and green's should be
worn only on bright days. Light ma
terials should be saved for warm, sun
ny weather or evening wear.-Farm
and Fireside.

SATINSANDLACESNOW

versible, showing the opposite colors.
Long black, satin coats have deep
bands Of quilted patterns, roses being
a favorite pattern, and appliqued fig-
ures in gold were lavishly used on the
deep collar Of another model. Fiber
satin is extensively used for capes and
coats for motoring and for semisport
or utility wear.
After the use Of satins as an econ
omy Is exhausted and bit Of real
warmth Is necessary come furs, and
these are so charmingly set forth that
satin or thinner material, such as
georgette or voile, worn with furs, will
probably take the place Of the smart
blue and beige serge frocks which
were last seasons fads.

that way? Why didn't you get up and
say you'd go, anyway"
"Why, Miss Marvin, I thought trial
was trial. 1t would be queer for q
man to say: oh, stop it, I'll confess
I'm guilty. just to stop the fuss,
wouldn't it?"
swell, yes" Mary admitted, "but
you needn't let 1t come to that. Why
do you suppose the Lord gave you all
that strength If not to defend your
country?"
"Oh, why" stammered Bert, "Tll go
If you want me to-" But Mary had
walked away, her head in the air.
Bert was puzzled. He had heard
little discussion of the war. To him it
was matter of age. He'd go when
called. What was the matter with the
girl? He'd go ask her.
Mary hesitated, then held out her
hand. "T-mother says I was rude to
you today. Forgive me and I'll tell
you how I feel about it."
So Bert received his first lesson in
patriotism from the lips Of pretty
girl, too much in earnest to remember
that she was pretty; that Bert was
handsome-or anything else except
that she wanted him to be soldier.
Presently Mrs. Marvin came in and
Bert spent the happiest evening Of his
life. When he arose to go he asked
and obtained permission to come again.
Returning to the Windsor, he saw a
light in the Free Press Office and went
up to thank the editor for his kind
ness. He disclaimed any credit, say
ing that he was friend of his family !;
intimated that Bert was glad not to
go to war.
"Why, no, Mr.. Pressman, don't care
much either way. Thought I'd 60
when called; but I've made up my
mind to enlist. I'm not a coward"
But the editor dismissed him with a
curt nod, to Bert's chagrin.
His lessons in patriotism progressed
till the town wonde cred if Bert would
stay in Hays or Mary go to the noun
tains. Bert was sure that life without
Mary was not worth living. But Mary
tearfully but firmly refused him, dear
ly as she knew she loved him; she
could not marry a man younger than
herself-she was past twenty. Bert
did not tell her he had enlisted, but
said good-by and took the first train
back to camp. A dreary journey, but
more than one Indifferent chap who
talked to Bert had his views changed
about his duty to his country.
His camp fellows met him eagerly,
glad that he was back; they had miss
ed him; had some mail for him, too.
It was a belated letter from his
mother, telling him Of sickness, dis
couragements and inability to get mail,
but the paragraph that held his at
tention read: "You are now of draft
age, my dearest son, because after you
were hurt and missed school, gave
you the birthday of the baby that died,
so you'll not seem so behind in school
work. No one knows this, dearest,
but mother and you. Do as your heart
bids you."
"Heart's all right, mother DEAR" he
whispered, kissing the letter. Then to
the camp:
swell, fellows, came back to tell
you the news. I'm engaged to the
prettiest girl in Ellis county, and have
enlisted in Uncle Sans army-in Col
orado-didn't want to stand in the way
of any Hays patriots-so better be
good to BERTHE while you've got a
chance"
Of course, the announcement of his
engagement was bit hasty, but Mary
corroborated it when told the particu-
lars.

CUBS AND YANkS LUCKY
ToGET STAR cATcHERS

The Chicago Cubs have been
noted for years as a team that
gets good catchers. For years
Johnny King was the ranking
backstop Of the National
league, and after he went back
the Cubs had another star In
the person Of Jimmy Archer.
After Jimmy passed from the
stage Of greatness the same
club got Bill Killefer. The
Yankees in recent years have
been specializing the same way.
The capture of Bill Walters was
a master stroke, as he Is rated
today as one of the best mask
men in the game. Now the
! Yanks come up with another
star backstop, Harry Hannah.
Meanwhile Miller Higgins in.
, sists that Muddy Ruel Is one of
the best young catchers he ever
saw. Tom Clarke, a steady vet
eran, also is with the team. Hug
gins surely is well fixed in catch
ing talent.
