ARRANGING THAT new COLLAR
Piece Regarded as One Of the Prettiest
Decorations Of the Present
Season.

Those new collars that are really
long bias strips of fabric, made double,
are perhaps one of the prettiest bits
Of neck accessory that we have had
this season. They are really new, and
they possess therefore the charm that
always attaches itself to novelty.
Moreover, they are in themselves at
tractive. They lend themselves to all
sorts Of graceful arrangement, and
they give soft and becoming line at
the neck, no matter how they are ar
ranged.
To begin with, they are made in the
form Of a double bias strip, from six
to eight inches wide, and perhaps a
yard or yard and quarter long.
They are the simplest thugs In the
world to make, for the double width Of
fabric is just sewed up, like an en-
velope, then turned right side out, the
end left open is blind stitched shut,
and the whole thing is pressed.
But in spite Of the fact that these
new collars are so easy to make, they
are we'll worth buying ready made, for
they are sold in the shops reasonably
in the most attractive fabrics.
These new collars may be worn in
many ways. OF course the most usual
way Is to bring it around the neck,
rolled over softly and tie it in four
finland or loose knot at the end of the
V-shaped line Of the blouse in front. In
this way these collars are worn on
frocks Of serge and foulard. Some
times, too, the ends are tied like q
windsor tie in bow, with two loops
and two ends.
Sometimes little bias fold of net Is
stitched along one side of the center
Of the collar, and by means of this net
the collar is basted into position. 9th
erwise 1t is best to pin it securely at
the back with a little silver cuff pin.
These collars are made in satin, or
candle, geOrgette crepe, crepe de chine
and chiffon. They are made in every
color imaginable, as well as in white;
and they are even made in little
checks. Some Of them in foulard show
all sorts of designs, although the best
fOulard ones are dotted. Then there
are others of black and white checks,
in a rather big design, but one that
is very effective, nevertheless, either
with a white or black or navy blue
frock.

tween 1920 and 1888. Its architect
was Robert de Luzarches. It consists
Of a nave nearly 40 feet high, with
aisles and lateral chapels, transept
with aisles, and a choir ending in an
apse surrounded by chapels. The total
length is 469 feet, its breadth PIG feet.
The facade, which is flanked by two
square towers without spires, has
three portals decorated with a pro-
fusion Of statuary, and over the CEN
trail portal is the remarkable statue
Of Christ, Of the thirteenth century,
which has given to this entrance the
name of the "porch of the beautiful
God" Surmounting the portals are
two galleries, and above these q fine
rose window.
Wood That Leaps Like Living Flame.
Ruskin went into raptures over the
wood carvings Of the choir. "What-
ever you wish to see, or are forced
to leave unseen at Amiens," he said,
IF the overwhelming possibilities Of
your existence and the inevitable ne
cessities Of precipitate locomotiOn in
their fulffllment have left you so much
as one quarter of an hour, not out of
breath, for the contemplation of the
capital Of Picardy, give it wholly to
the cathedral choir. Aisles and
porches, lancet windows and roses,
you can see elsewhere as we'll as
here-but such carpenters work you
cannot. 1t Is latefully developed fam
boyant just past the fifteenth century,
and has some Flemish ~stolidity mixed
with the playing French fire Of It; but
wood carving was the Picard's Joy
from his youth up, and so far as /
know there Is nothing else so beau
tiful cut out Of the goodly trees Of the
world. Sweet and young grained wood
1t Is; oak, trained and chosen for such
work, sound now as four hundred years
since. Under the carver's hand It
seems to cut like clay, to fold like
SILK, to leap like living flame. Can

Ing pinnacle-it shoots and wreathes

tricable, imperishable, fuller Of leaf
age than any forest, and fuller of

Ruskin notes that the dominant tone
OF the sculptures that so profusely
decorate the cathedral is that of peace
and mercy.
Summing up his Interpretation of
the Amiens cathedral, the "Bible of
Amiens," as Ruskin asks:
"Who built it, shall we ask? God
and man is the first true answer. The
stars In their courses built It, and the
nations. Greek Athena Iabors here,
and the Roman Father Jove, and
Guardian Mars. The Gaul labors here
and the Frank; knightly Norman,
mighty OstrOgoth, and wasted anchor

did so; nor do the historians brag of

Where Time Is Money.

In South America, near Buenos Aires,
Is a colony where the members make
or grow everything they want and i'm

Cosme. The wOrkmen have seven
hours work day and earn not money
but time. Their wages are hours and
half-hours. These are sometimes saved
up till they have week in hand. Then
they go off on an excursion or spend
tfeir savings in some other pleasure
producing manner. IF a man wants a
chair or table he pays for 1t in hours
Of work which are deducted from the

Baseball Should Be Encouraged in

Baseball, in common with all other outdoor sports,
in my opinion, should be encouraged in times Of

themselves physically and in spirit by engaging in this

Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

TO successfully finance the war it is
necessary that owners of Liberty
Bonds hold their Eonds if possible.
Where for any good FreasolFit is nee
essary for them to turn their bonds
into cash they should seek the advice
of their bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very deSir-
able Investments. and crafty individ-
uals are using various means to secure
them from owners not familiar with
stock values and like matters. One
method is to offer to exchange for Lib
erty bonds stocks or bonds of doubtful
organizations represented as returning
Il much higher income than the bonds
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used. some of the
gold-brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits Of
the law. All offers for Liberty bonds
except for money and at market value
should be scrutinized carefully. The
bonds are the safest of investments
and have nontaxable and other valu-
able features.
The State Council of Defense asks
the parish councils to report all cases
of persons trading their government
bonds for securities Of any class. or
Offering their bonds for sale. Such re-
ports are to he forwarded to the War

Work Sundays, If Necessary.
An Indiana newspaper says:

An Indiana newspaper says:
1t is quite right and proper to do
farm work Oh Sunday if that Sunday
work is necessary to produce food
crops to help whip Germany. That is
the attitude of the rural churches of
Indiana expressed recently in confer
ence at Purdue University. The rea-
son given for this position was the con-
viction Of Indiana rural ministers that
Germany is the worst enemy of civili-
zltiOn and of every church of civiliZa-
ton, of all religion everywhere that il
worthy the name of religion: that the

the triumph of that pagan monstrosity

every church in America is fighting for
its existence, just as every other COM
pOnent of civilization is fighting for its
existence. and that il Sunday work in
