:,ornamsnts for. The Neck.

! The adornment Of the neck is one Of
the fashionable phases Of the moment.
THERE'S quite vogue for the fiat bead
necklaces made by the wounded SOL
disrs. Probably good deal Of senti-
meut 10 connected with the wearing Of
them, but they have a distinctly deco
rative value, too, and make vivid
splashes Of color on our dark gowns.
We are beginning to realize the impor-
lance Of neck adornments-their scope
and their limitations the domain Of
dress. Smartness may be achieved or
allenated by the little finishing touch
ut the throat. There is nothing, after
oil, more becoming than the time
honored string Of pearls, which, hack
neyed though 1t is, hardly ever seems
to look amiss and seems suitable at
practically any age. Only in the hey
day Of youth are brilliantly colored
beads appropriate. After forty they
should be absolutely taboo, supplanted
by tho soft fold Of cream or, flesh COL
,ored tulle. or, better still, the black
velvet band with diamond clasp. Jade
10, Of course, the most popular Of all
stones and colors for necklaces at pres
sut. though corals, moonstones set in
silver and :opals intermingled with
crystal run them close and are some
what less expensive,

.DRllW UP PLANS CAREFUL
Afford to Take Chances When
Estimates Are Made.

To the inexperienced home-buildeH
the legal side Of the building problem
is rather complicated. The owner does
not always understand the legal
phraseology of the documents he is
asked to sign, which gives rise to the
Idea that the architects estimates can
4 not be depended upon.
Estimates of any sort are dangerous
and misleading to both parties con-
cerned unless both clearly understand
and define the quality, amount and
conditions of the work to be under
taken. All proposals, contracts. bonds
and other legal papers ordinarily used
In a building contract are quite sim
pie, and. the owner can familiarize
himself with their uses with but very
little study. -@s- .' F. +. !. ;. ,s.
There are three kinds of estimates
generally used-preliminary, actual
and subsequent. The first named Is
usually made by the architect before
the specifications are sufficiently com.
plete to form contract. The second
is the estimate made by the contractor
from plans and specifications guar
anteeing his willingness to complete
the work within the price named,
while the subsequent estimate Is made
by the contractor and checked by the
architect for additions to and deduc-
tons from the terms of the contract
as set forth in the contract documents.
Carefully drawn specifications are
the best insurance prospective build
er can have If it is necessary that the
price named Is the amount he can af-
ford to pay for the work. These plans
should include the exact material to
be used. Where incomplete plans are
used, the details are left to the discre-
ton of the contractor, who may or
may not do his best to keep the price
below the amount specified.
So, although it may seem less ex-s
pensive at the start to have the archi-
tect draw up incomplete plans, It
should be borne In mind that the ulti-
mate result might be bill of extras
that would triple the amount saved,
besides putting premium on the con-
tractors substitution of poorer mate
rial. A thorough understanding Of the
legal documents and clear knowl-
edge of the specifications will go a
long way toward making your home
building pleasure and a success.

DEMAND u FOR ! ! BLACK
Material Favored as Economy ON
Rather Than for Mourning.

JsSS alsh Well with Khaki - g & Z

There seem to be two opinions
among merchants who deal In wOm-
pu's dresses, and women's wear in gen
oral, about the probable demand for
black. Needless to say, war times al.
Ways mean an additional demand for.
mourning, but after the experience Of
England and France it Is hardly likely
that we will overdo the matter Of
wearing mourning in this country as
they did at the outbreak Of the war.
Already there has been very definite
and telling agitation against this. and
It Is likely that II occasion for the as
Stunning Of mourning comes, 1t will be
donned, but likely by American WON
o., - !.
But aside from black as the color Of
mourning, the prediction has been
made persistently in some quarters
that there will be an enormous demand
for black clothes as matter OF econ.
omy. Women may demand black, and
they may wear it. But the question
10 still open a. to whether they are
doing wisely. Almost any woman who
has ever wore black for mourning
Knows that it. is not an economical
color. In almost any fabric black re-
euires constant brushing and constant
trips to the tailor. No color looks
shabby 10 soon as black. A black suit
skirt seems to collect the dust more
quickly than suits of other colors, and,
Of course, black blouses have the dis
advantage Of not usually being wash
able. The elaborate black evening gown
cut with an extreme decolletage comes
In for almost universal admiration, and
even debutantes yearn to wear it.
:, In England the fact is commented on
considerably that black does not 90
well with khaki, and it must have
been noticed BY everyone in this coun-
:try that since the escort par excel
lence ID the man IN khaki, our pretty
Girls have been wearing colors OF
brighter hue than ever before. III
90 think twice before you have much
black in your, wardrobe, and think
three or four times before you adopt
It ~ q matter Of economy.

GERMAN IDEA Of
Freedom OF Seas
Peace by Force Not III
Way, Says Captain
PPrSius
WOULD SEAL
THE UNFREEDONl

NEW YORK. April i3.-In rejecting
unceremonlously the German idea OF
freedom Of the seas, Captain Persius,
the German naval expert, in an analy-
sis OF the question in the Beiiner
Tageblatt Of March 2, copy OF which
has been received here, reaches this
conclusion
I'VE can, In other words, gain free
dom Of the seas OF advantage to us
only by means OF a peace by under
standing. Every peace by force would
seal the unfreedom OF the seas for US
also in times Of peace"
From the captains article Il ap-
pears that there are two views OF how
Germany must secure freedom Of the
seas for the future" The policy OF
force Is that Great Britain must be
defeated as a necessary preliminary
while the adherents Of International
treaties hope 10 gain the same end by
applying to the seas rules Of land war
fare.
Acquisition OF the Azores" a pam
phlet by Dr.. Victor Hensel, OF Kiel, Is
referred TO by Captain Persius. DR.,
Hensel believed that German use Of the
Azores would prove a strong card in
the German campaign. The following
passage from his pamphlet Is quoted by
Persius:
"A German feet, however strong
viii not be able to prevent a breach
OF international treaties, for the enemy
will always possess enough Usboats tC
disturb our commerce. II we. cOulC
use the Azores as a base OF support foi
] II - 81 H.,
OF the destruction OF treaties, a mutua
destruction Of merchantmen, which
necessarily. would have to be avoided
by both sides as sheer nonsense. Tha
would lead then TO the desired freedom
Of the seas"
Captain Persius then says:
Even II the British sea power, which
today dictates the conditions unde
which the seas are TO be used, c0ull
be broken, hardly anything would b
gained thereby. For II the British flee
would have to cede It's positions TO som
other power, the latter would un
doubtedly pursue, not policy OF sentl
ment, but one Of materiaiism-tO q
what best serves its own interests
There never viii be an undlsturbed us
Of the seas In time OF war.
1T should be clear to us that, eve
- II our army and 1eet should achiev
the greatest victories. we could no
force the other nations to trade wit
us and could not force them 10 e1
change raw materials for our indu.
trial products. II other nations are nC
> willing to resume friendly oommercli
competition then our merchant ne,
would be Of no advantage 20 us.
Our enemies In the west hold IN the
hands a large part Of our possibllfti,
Of existence. Having this IN mind d
Alchaelis, the chancellor. said In q
Reichstag on July II, 1917: We mu
safeguard the conditions OF existence
the German people on the continent ar
abroad by understandings and compe
sation."
