Where You Don't See.

1t is a well-known axiom that a
woman is criticized for the back Of
her neck and for her face. When you
look at a woman's face you are deal
ing with her personality; when you
look at the back Of her neck there
is no personality. but only physical
appearance.
Unfortunately this part OF the body.
which should be cared for most, is
most neglected. Few women, even
sensible ones. think very much Of
their appearance beyond the parts
they can see in a mirror The hair
around the face is becomingly done
from the front, but the average girl
does not stop to think what 1t looks
like from the side or from the back.
The average girl also will take the
best care of her neck as far round
as she can see it. She will put the
skin with cold cream to keep 1t soft,
and use bleaches to keep it white.
and let the back of it grow brown
and dry and coarse-pored for lack
of necessary care.
Make it q hard and fast rule never
to leave your dressing table without
picking up your hand mirror and
looking at your reflection from both
sides and from the back. Be sure
that your hair is fiuffed becomingly
around the ears. and that there are

SCARFS INSTEAD OF ,FURS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

When your friends who had tn
good fortune to be present at the
Ascot races in England earlier in
the summer comment on the fact that
the warm sultry weather kept away
the expected display Of furs, you may
have felt surprised. Judging from
observation in this land of the brave
and the free. we have not consulted
the thermometer very closely in this
matter of wearing fursA The women
you see in the etreet, in the hotels
and in resorts have been brave, In
deed. in wearing peltry. but not free
was never backed by good Judgment.
We took our fashion of wearing
furs in summer from France. Whfle
we were still putting our furs away
in moth Balls or sending them tp the
cold storage by Palm Sunday-ante-
hellun-French women kept fur
scarfs out all summer and one of
the things ., that tourists used to
comment on as being of all the odd
at Enfopsam Women msSf in oad %idm
mer. And now We are wearing furs
in midsummer and the fashion Is on
the wane over here.
&As 1t Was in Nice.
At Nice and other fashionable
places furs were even put away as
carly as March for, most daytime
occasions, and in their stead came
scarfs. scarfs rich and warm that
attracted much comment from those
who like color.
One thing the Frenchwoman
knows. This is that not only are
furs uncomfortable in summertime
that would hardly be enough-but
exposure to the sunshine of summer
are distinctly bad for the furs:
Hence the practice of having special
summer furs. Rarer, heavier pelts
are reserved for winter. If ones
summer furs show the bad effects of
the heat it is not of so great i'm
portance.
But furs still play an important
part as decoration. You may know

T
THE UNUSUAL TOUCH TO THIS
CAPE OF CANARY COLOREQ,
DOTTED SWISS. TOPPING FROCK
OF SAME MATERIAL AND COLOR.
They do not shrivel and crack in
warm weather. There are materiala.
too. that resemble fox and other
fashionable pelts; 80 much SO that
you cannot quite make sure. unless
you have microscopic vision, whether
you are seeing the real or the imita-
tion. The general feeling seems to
be that when one wears scarfs or
that we have come
to associate only with, real furs-
then we should avoid limitations.
When we wish to use them purely
for decorative purposes then the
other sort will do.
The cut shows how these imitation
furs may be used in summer frocks.
In the original model. however, it
was real white fox that banded and
collared the canary-colored. dotted
swiss cape worn as an accessory
with a frock of the same color and
material. That is. 1t seemed to be
real-but can one really tell the
difference?
