about the new models in neckwear

reasonable prices.
For the one-piece serge or ri-

collar of Irish crochet prettily seal

ing at the back of the neck.
Fine net is also used for the
round collars and dainty motifs
are applied. A narrow edging com,

ly collars of this type from odds
and ends of lace from the sewing

a bargain in real lace edging or a
piece from which attractive motifs
may be cut.
To wear with the open front
tailored suit there is a charming
vest of flesh colored georgette fne-
ly pleated. A softly becoming frin

youthfulness is given with a wee
black silk tie.

BOOK S

CAPTAIN LUCY IN FRANCE BY
Allne Havard. The Army Girl Series
Philadelphia: The Penn Publishing
Company.
Captain Lucy In France is the
SECOND in a series of three books
for girls that follow the fortunes
of the world war with this typical
American girl. Captain Lucy" in
this volume, is privileged to jour
ney to the battle front in France to
nurse her wounded father, who is
an officer in the American Expedi-
tionary Forces.
The story tells first OF the war
work of Lucy and her English
cousins, and then holds a tense in
terest while Lucy Gordon is doing
her valiant "bit" in q French town
during its capture and occupation
by the Germans.
How her brother, an "Ace" and the
Lieutenant Bob" of the first of the
series, and an English prisoner of
war let Lucy and her sole COM
panion, little French girl, serve
the allied Armies is a realistic pic
ture of the daily life of France in
wartime.
Lucy's heroic great adventure"
though, makes her a little heroine.
The book is well worth reading to
find out how this simple and nat
ural girl of America wins out by
her courage and her fidelity to the
ideals OF her homeland, and carries
important news across the enemy
lines to the American army.

riages involving different churches

cause OF the use of very good tudg-
snent and a great deal OF forbear-

young lady know what the trouble
Is and the reason for your staying
