~ Asst year everybody was wearing
q collarless uecklino in oval shape
E@ This year It is the square neck
that fashion fanCes, and the edge Of
the square is outlined with "a fiat lace
collar on handsome frocks of satin,
velvet or duyotyn, this square collar
Is apt to be made of lace by The yard,
the upper edge OF the lace turned
under the square neck opening and
the corners carefully mitred TO bring
the square into perfect proportion.
The natter such collar lies on the
bodice. the smarter is the effect
Square lace collars are obtainable
AT the neckwear departments but
the hand made collar Of mitred
lace has a more distinctive effect on
a dainty froch. Some bodices are
cut out in big enough square to-
allow the head TO pass through in
sllp-on fashion. But II this IS not
possible the lace collar fastens at
one shoulder and the square opening
to which it Is attached Is put In

one shoulder and down the side Of

wears a frocll of the sort. That Is,
the bodice is OF the sort mentioned.
In other respects Miss Hines costume
resembles nothing that has been
achieved in the way of gowns to date.
Yet for all its striking individuality
and its tremendous dash, 1t has grace

these emphatic stripes in bright color
And-most interesting costume
is all IN one piece, the silk being so
slashed and draped that the cherry
and white stripe run one way in the
bodice and several other ways in the
skirt. The Cross-stripes OF the bodice
are emphasized by lines Of brilliants
but scarf of tulle subdues the glitter
OF the brilliants and softens the effect
OF the fat, narrow little bodice.

thing that the neighbors took to call
ing her Little Rosebud Peggy. And
she possessed such a clear, lovely So
prano voice even at that tender age,
that people were always asking
'Rosebud-Peggy" to sing for them.
Being extremely anxious to become
q really-truly prima donna as speedi-
Iy as possible, little Miss Peggy
thought the quickest way to success
would be TO have her own opera COM
pany' Having some executive ability
and much determination-as her hand
TeVeais-she organized her opera com-
pany. 1t was composed OF children
on the block and for herself she re-
served the choice part OF prima
donna. Since she had to be, as we'll
as prima donna, composer, producer,
coach and stage manager, she was a
very busy little girl indeed. And those
rehearsals in Peggy's back yard, with
all the company yelling, bowling and
shriek!ng at once. were something to
listen to!
All went well. however, until one
OF the very young ladies OF the COM
pany aspired herself to the place Of
prima donna. She had. 1t appears,
all the qualities OF prima donna
except the voice. Failing in her efforts
to make the little boy and girl mem
bers Of Peggy's company go on strike
and establish new leader. the rival
for operate success resorted. one re-
grets to state. to bribery; and with O
pound of peanut brittle she bought
over the company. They announced
to their erstwhile director that she
could go on with her old opera by
herself and rallied round the new di-
rector-and her peanut brittle-for
the formation Of a new company.

h you have heard Miss Peggy
81 Wood sing in "Buddies" maybe
d Nyou wondered why that glorious
q voice is not devoted TO serious op-
cratic music rather than given to light
opera. Then you realized how terribly
the little singers dramatic gifts would
be missed from productions which de-
mand great dramatic talent as we'll as
voice. And that Is exactly the reason
why Miss Peggy Wood is not singing
in grand opera. She had ambitions
about grand opera--l!ke every other
young singer who is having a mar
velous voice trained for a professional
career; but it was discovered that she
had another great gift-almost as
great as that OF her voice--the his
trionic gift, At the close Of the run
Of THE Mddcdp Duchess, a musical
comedy in which she made her debut,
comedy part in Young America, and
her success in this part was instant
and enormous. She need never have
sung another note in her life If she
hadn't wanted to, and still have had
4 splendid career on the stage.
But with that sparkling dramatic
talent and that beautiful voice to go
with it, success on the light opera
stage was assured. In "Maytime" Miss
Wood demonstrated her ability. For
over two years she sang the leading
part in this dainty operatta, first
through the long New York run and
afSward on tour And when tho
las& performance came she "cried her
eyes out"-to quote her own words
because she was to sing in "Maytime"

Perhaps You may allow yourself one

sugar in tea or coffee. no syrup on

grapefruit no butter on baked pota-

The custom Of going without corsets
is becoming SO prevalent that many
women who require corsets when
dressed in formal clothes are leaving
Them off around the house part OF
the day. For the figure inclined to
stoutness this IS rather dangerous
habit, for flesh has a way of settling
downward around ,waistline and hips.
II YOU leave off corsets while actively
engaged around the house mornings,
be sure and give two minutes of the
time to really active exercises for the
waistline-bending over and touching

" II is true that many Of the evening
gowns Of the season are cut very

nounced dacolle'age, recorded by all
The fashion reporters this winter, and

opera costumes for the newspapers,
has NOT the extreme effect that one
might imagine. In most instances

high on the neck and shoulders. Paris
