Of Interest TO Women
THE COLLAR OF A STREET DRESS.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

More than one enthusiastic painter
has let drop the remark that the most
beautiful line of womans anatomy
was the line of the back of her neck.
Rubens went in eagerly for that line
and more than once has given us an
opportunity to see that wife OF his
Helen Fourment, was it not?-was
beautifully as well as amply endowed
with that sort of neck.
Now beautiful as back necks may be.

of events we are fortunate if we do not
show with too great willingness, because
we are not all Helen Fourments, thank
fortune, and Enthusiastically one feels bet
ter when ones blouse has somt sort OF
protection at this point than when the

to the dorsal vertebrae.
High Neck Backs.
One halls with something like en-
thusiasm the disposition on the part of
the French dressmakers to conceal that
back neck in day time clothes in recent
showings You may see for yourself IN
any group of French fashions recently
shown that the tailored suit that does
not boast of a collar that rises high in
back is worn with blouse that mas
high collar of some sort, and the honors
in recently designed blouses are divided
between those of high frill collars that
flare up as high as the tips of the ears
at the side and those like the sort shown
in the blouse sketched today that rol
in such a way as to cover the neck IN
back, giving the high line in back with
takably comfortable and perennially be-
coming.
Of organdie is this little blouse in the
sketch with a tracery of all-over en-
broidery in navy blue and white floss.
In interiors we have for some time
known the value of massing our orna-
mentations That is, we hang our pic
lures in groups instead of placing them
euuidistant over the entire wall space,
and we try to place ornaments in groups
rather than having them plastered in
termittently atop every desk, table and
book shelf in a room.
Decorative Principle.
This idea of massing our ornamental
ton we have now adopted in clothes.
We do not spread such embroidery as
we have for a frock all over the skirt
and blouse. In fact, you will find per-
fectly plain bodices worn with elabor-
ately embroidered skirts and again
heavily embroidered blouses worn with
skirts of severe plainness. Likewise, in
using lace the knowing dressmaker pre-
sents sometimes lace skirt drapery
with a severely simple bodice, sans any
vestige of Lace or she gives US a bodice
entirely made up of lace worn atop a
skirt that is laceless.
Needless to say the blouse in the
sketch today will be worn with a skirt
of classic simplicity.

lican party, composed Of members Of
one group Of Anti Federalists, op.

as the Democratic Republicans and
later the Democrats. The National
Republican party became fused into
the Wing party which was vel
enough organized by 1886 to enter
into presidential contest After the

Republican party formed with one
great aim-opposition to the exten.

PICNIC SEASON HERE, WITH ITS SUNBURN,
MOSQ UITOES AND INDIGESTION

clock points to 20 minutes slow to
6 o'clock in the evening. But lust
take few dry steps back to when
the bartenders and beer chariot driv-
ers held their annual picnic and hang
over. The sun never slid into its
dial over a snappier day since the
time it was first launched. Maybe
things will be different now that the
nose can only be Illuminated by sun
burn.
No picnic is complete without
fat mans race and few tire blow
outs. Both run out of wind on
the first lap. Another feature about
picnic is the lost kid. In looking
for him everybody gets lost, and the
"'yoo-hooing' that echoes through
the woods has all the squirrels run
ming one way in circles. Finally the
kid is found catching tadpoles with
his old mans panama.
Then there is the ball game. Every
run means horse liniment and rheu-
matism. They lose count of the
score after 1T, and call the game on
account Of darkness, lost ball, corns,
Clipped shins, overripe hands, and
fire plug necks.
A good way to enjoy picnic with
all its Inconvenience, at home is to
climb up on the roof of the garage
at high noon, eat, while sitting on one
foot, potato salad, hard-boiled eggs,
bananas, pickles, meat loaf, jelly roll,
onions, warm lemonade and smoke

Q u E S ITO N S
BY EDMUND VANCE COOK

THERE were three questions which
were wont
To make their victims rage.
First, it was not the proper stunt
To ask lady's age.
Her husband might resent that now
Or, maybe, he might not.
But do not ask him, anyhow,
How much hooch have you yot7n
1t once was not de rigeur, quite
In sorting sheep from goats
To ask candidate, outright,
What price he paid for votes.
Yet even that query might get by
But this should be deleted,
Ask no man, with expectant eye,
where is your stock secreted?"
1t once was wisdom to resists
The impulse, urging hot,
To ask the famous novelist
Where he purloined his plot?
But now if you are at his home
AS haply you may be,
The question primed to make him
foam,
Is "Where dye keep your key?"

TROOP 21 RUNNING

Troop 21, which meets at the First Chris tion Church is progressing rapidly now. and has been doing so for the last four months. The trooR started about six months ago, with ten green, but enthu- siastic boys. Now they have ? mem bers all ready in the troop, and have fve more boys whom have applied for adinis- sion, which will make a full troop of four patrols.
 Dr Simpson the former scout master, finding that his pastoral duties consumed all of his time, has resigned. Scoutmaster Riger now has charge of the troop, and besides being a good scoutmaster him self he also has pr. Simpson behind him so the troop need not fear any trouble from losing their scoutmaster. The only trouble that they have now is finding an assistant scoutmaster to take the place of Jesse Buddy who has gone away to school One thing 21 has not lost IS their pluck and willingness to work, so they may be expected to make as good in the future as they have in the past
