EFFECT OF LATEST NECKLINE
Delta Has Superseded the v and White
Collars Seem to Be Doomed,
Writer Asserts.

In the settlement of fashions there
Is one predominant feature that inter-
ests the majority as well as the mi
nority. II is the new arrangement Of
the neckllne, observes a fashion writer
in the New York Sun.
Those who were not observing fash
ion closely went about with their shirt
waist collars pulled out over the coat
collars or the wide collars of gulmpes
pulled out over the bare edge of one
piece frOck.
Then suddenly the whole process
seemed to be wrong. The careless pub
lie observed that the fastidlous crowd
had abandoned white collars. They also
noticed that the neckllne Of one-piece
frock was not outlined by collar ex-
cept at the back. They noticed that
sailor collars had disappeared from
fashionable garments.
They realized that the neckline in
stead of being V-shaped was square
and deeply decOllete, or delta-shaped-
the decolleta2e that we associate with
Dresden shepherdesses, Dolly Warden
styles, Mozartian opera and Janice
Meredith. This kind OF neckline was
accepted only for frocks.
But whatever the garment, Its neck
line was no more hidden and enveloped
by white collar. II is quite probable
that this somersault In fashions dis
turbed the minds of more women than
even the Incoming OF the tight skirt.

CARED LITTLE FOR foLlrlcs
President Cleveland, However, Had
Real Liking fer The Law, and
Loved to Fish.

"president Cleveland loved the law
better than he did politics." remarked
II. o. Brown. n former resident of Buff
falo to reporter of the Washington
Post. Had he considered his own de-
slres he would never have left his prac-
tice for political Office. doubt If even
the prospect Of becoming president
would have Induced him to enter poll
tics.
''It was my privilege to know Mr..
Cleveland when he was practicing his
profession before he entered politics.
He was not what might be termed a
glittering success as lawyer. He had
no business instinct so far as the law
was concerned, but he delighted In
intricate legal problems. and much pre-
ferred TO take a case that involved ap-
parently hopeless questions. 1t could
not be said he was q good pleader, and
while the average person was not at
tracted by his addresses In court,
judges on the bench had the greatest
respect for them. because they were
profound and logical.
"When he was not engaged In law
Cleveland delighted in utter abandon
ment of all things that required
thought; above everything else he
loved to fish. I recall that when some
of his Democratic friends wanted him
to become Il candidate for mayor he
said: 4 don't want any more Of poll
tics. I want to stay right here in Erie
county, where l can 60 fishing occa-

Judge Shields Files Dissent
ing Opinion To Court Of
Appeals Decision
IMPLIED OBLIGATION

Declares Owners Of The Line
Should Replace Pave
ment Torn Up

Following the announcement Satur.
day at the time the opinion of the
court of appeals. delivered In the
matter OF the city's suit against b.
Berman, the purchaser of the street
railway property here, was filed in
the local court. that Judge Shields
dissented in the opinion, which was
delivered by Judge l.. K. Powell with
Judge Kent w. Hughes concurring, a
dissenting opinion has been filed by
Judge Shields.
The courts opinion held that the
purchaser Of the railway property
might remove the tracks from the
streets without being compelled to
file bond, or to indemnify the city
in any way for damage TO the pave
ments caused by their removal
Judge Shields, In dissenting to this
opinion. has filed lengthy opinion In
which he sets up that an implied OBJ
lgaton exists on the part OF the rail
way company to replace paving and
repair damage to the streets by the
removal OF the rails and that the
change in ownership of the property
in no way affects the original con
tract between the city and the cor
poration.
The case will probably be carried
to the supreme court for final settle.

HANDY SEWING SCREEN
Frame Covered With Suitable Mate.
rial, Provided With Pockets for
Various Articles.

A convenient piece Of furniture for
the household sewing room Is sewing
screen, and If the house is not large
enough to permit of setting aside one
room for sewing activities sewing
screen is still greater convenience
for the room of the woman who has
her own or the family mendlng to at
tend to or who just likes to sew.
First of all, unless one has an apti-
tude for carpentry 1t is well to have
a carpenter make the frame. A three
ply screen Is n convenient size and
1t should be low, so that all that it
contains may be within easy reach
of the woman who likes to sit In low
chair to sew.
The screen may be covered with
chintz or cretonne to match the hang
ings Of the room. Then It will seem
to take up even less space In small
apartment, for 1t will fall back into
line with the other furnishings rather
than stand out as an individual de.
mandlng special space privileges.
A good scheme Is to cover the screen
frame with fiat layer of the cret0nne
on each side Of each section, reaching
10 within six inches of the floor.
Tack the cover on securely with
small brass-headed tocks. Then make
ever so many little pockets of various
sizes and fasten them securely. They
will hold thread and mending mate
rlals and all sorts of sewing parapher-
MALTA.
Larger pockets will he useful for
holding small pieces of work or mend
ing.
The pockets, Of course, should be
cut larger than the space which they
are to cover and be either gathered
or plated on. 1t Is wise scheme
to use n narrow elastic as running
string for the tops, as that gives n
neater, tidier appearance, especially
when the pockets are well filed.
