HIGH COLLARS AT THE BACK
Up Effort to inflict Either High
or Round-Neck-Line.

From the lovely lingerie blouses-
and those of georgette crepe and chif-
fon as well-shown in the smart shops
and worn in smart places, we may
judge that Paris has almost given up
her effort to infiict on the American
woman either the high collar or the
rather unbecoming round neck-line, &C.
cording to fashion correspondent. To
be sure some of the very smartest new
blOuses have what is sometimes called
the Zine Of decapitation,' but many of
the new blouses show rather deep v
square, oval Or round line in front with
a little turnover collar at the back
deity harmonized with the front,
turnover that fits we'll up against the
neck, almost touching the lower line
of the hair. This line Of collar, high
at the back and low at the front, is,
we all know, distinctly becoming to the
American woman.

He Cot a Seat.

Speaking of street cars reminds one
Of the latest-the very latest-thing in
wording heard on a local traction line.
This was sprung on an unsuspecting
world the other night-morning rather
about three o'clock.
The springer told about it to his Of
fee mates the next morning as fol-

'I'm so used to standing up in the
street car that don't know how to sit
down any more, actually he said. Il

ting down. We always like what we
grow accustomed to, of course-sort of
force Of habit; strong thing, you know,
as all our well-known psychologists
agree.

two miles, and finally lady got out,
and a motherly looking woman said
to me, Here's a seat and said, It's
a pretty seat, all right
''But that night [ started to tell you
about-believe me, boys, if you want

CAPES NEWEST FASHION NOTE
Wraps Are Made for Actual and Unre-

Coverings Are Concerned.

The ultra smart clothes that are
worn at the Fairgrounds of the South

quently, observes a Palm Beach fash
ion correspondent. The most recent of
travelling capes has two or three dis
tinctive features which are worthy of
detailed notice.
The new capes are made for actual
and unremitting service, and, there
fore, have points of interest all their
own. They are, as a rule, cut circu-
lar-many yards, even as many as five
around the hem, and a top that is cut
exactly to meet the closely fitting col
lar at the neckline. The collar then
is cut so that it rolls and folds about

Others of these travelling capes,

One of these service capes was made
of the most interesting variety of vel
ours cloth, woven in a plum-colored
plaid, with citron-colored stripes max

cut in the sides for the hands to come
through, provided with extra straight
pieces set on to simulate cuffs. Then,
just underneath, on the cape, other
straight pieces were set on to form
pockets. This slight divergence was
the only departure from undiluted

Meat Is Scarce.

Patrick J. Kennedy and Thomas
Carr, farmers of Templeton, Ind, came
to Indianapolis with three carloads of
hogs and cattle, and after waiting all
day at the stock yards were told that
there was no demand for them, says
the Indianapolis News. The price on
hogs fell off from $17.69 to $17.1O while
they were at the yards and finally they
had to sell u of the choicest hogs from
one car at SIT. They were told that
these hogs were too fat. The razor
backs, comparatively speaking, brought
$17.10. The cattle could not be sold.
After this experience the two went
to stock yards restaurant nearby and
ordered steak. 1t was Tuesday and,
therefore, a meatless day.

"WAKE' IS OLD INSTITUTION
Custom Most Prevalent Today In Ire
land Well Known to the Egyptians,
Greeks and Romans.

''The custom of waking the dead,
with the drinking, smoking and con-
versation of the large company Of
neighbors who assemble in the house
Of mourning, appears incongruous and
repulsiye to those who are unacquaint-
ed with its remote origin or the kindly
and humane motives which underlie
it," says Michael Macdonagh, in the
English Review. "The wake is a very
old institution. 1t existed among the
Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans,
Shakespeare and Scott give instances
Of medieval revels in honor of the
dead. The custom survives in a diff
ferent form, but with somewhat identi-
cal motives, among the Irish, almost
alone Of the ancient peoples.
Waking means, for -one thing,
watching The English way Of leav-
ing the body shut up in room, all
alone, would be most repellant to the
Irish nature. It would be regarded as
desertion. The Irish keep close COM
pany with their dead until the very
last moment Of the burial.
"The body is clothed in a shroud
made in imitation of the habits worn
by certain orders of friars and in
the hands, crossed reverently On the
breast, is placed a crucifix. The walls
near the bed are hung with clean
white sheets on which are pinned
punches Of flowers, laurel leaves and
holy pictures. Lighted candles, seven
in number, are on the table. They are
symbolical Of hopes and aspirations
relating to the dead. That he or she
has been cleansed Of the seven deadly
sins, possessed the seven gifts of wis
dom, understanding, counsel, fortitude,
knowledge piety and fear of the Lord,
and the seven principal virtues.
"First entering the room where the
body lies the visitors kneel and say
prayer for the eternal salvation of the
departed soul. AfterWard in the kitch-
en-, snuff, pipes and tobacco, whisky
and stout are served to the company.
The dead person is in his house for the
last time, and, as host for the last
time, dispenses hospitality.
Memories Of his kindness and
good nature are revived by the neigh
bors. Otis he that had the bright
smile and CHEEKY word whenever you
met him, and no matter what you
might want of him, sure you had only
to say the word to get it with a heart

BusinessIike and Efficient.

1t is considered worthy of notice in
the papers that woman has '.held
down. job as agent at a railroad sta
ton somewhere in the West and that a
woman was agent at Maine station
for a few weeks. People must have
short memories not to recall that the
agent of the important Grand Trunk
station at Lewiston a dozen years ago
was a woman, who held. the job for
some time. And the writer can testify
that she was businesslike and efficient,
for she once kept him waiting at the
ticket window for ten minutes by the
clock while she finished the job she
was doing on the books.-Oxford (Me.)

VARIETY OF WRAPS
Short Garments Are Made Like
Attenuated DoImans.
Use Chiffon of New Egyptian Tissue,
Satin Lined or Trimmed With
Fur and Embroidered TuIle.

Every letter from Paris lays stress
upon the short wraps. They are made
like attenuated dolmans. They are
of chiffon, of the new glistening Egyp-
tan tissue, of satin-lined or trimmed
with fur and Of embroidered tulle.
They resemble elaborated scarfs.
Some Of them tuck in at the waist
line in the back and drop long in the
front; others go over the front of the
figure in surplice fashion, wrap around
the waist and tie with a huge hustle
bow at the back.
They are worn in the afternoon over
thick frocks; they are worn in the
evening over half decollete frocks !;
they have taken the place of many
short, separate jackets for street
performances in the theaters and at
the opera, as we'll as in the restau-
rants. They are not removed. They
are intended as half-concealing,
half-revealing and altogether subtle
and attractive garment.
A woman will come into a reStau-
rant with a dull lavender gown Of
satin, beaded and cut out half low at
the neck, with the arms bare from six
inches below the shoulders, and the
whole top Of the figure and gown will
be covered by short, draped, shirred
wrap with sleeves Of cornfiower blue
tulle, the ends Of which may be
weighted with Chinese tassels in black,
gold and yellow.
There are dolmans Of black satin
lined with fur, and others that have
bands Of kolinsky or ermine which
form a collar and outline the long,
pear-shaped armholes that often serve
without sleeves. And again and
again, the fur or the Egyptian beaded
embroidery or metallic tissue is used
to hold in these short wraps at the
waistline and to form a bow or ends
at the side or the back.
