0RGANDIE COLLARS

This is the time of year when we naturally turn to pretty neckwear to
 brighten dresses that have become a
 little monotorous. Earlier in the
 season we had vividly embroidered collars and cuffs that were perfect parts of the dresses they trimme ed.
 Their coloring and design carried out dresses with which we sallied forth
 In early autumn.
 Now we see these same dresses dt- vested of their brilliantly stitched collars and cuffs and in their places are seen crisp, snowy ones that are ! very refreshing in their simplicity. One collar and cuff set of organdie
 is made on the newest lines which
 these important accessories have as-
 sun.ed. The collar is designed to wear with dresses that have the
 oateur neckline. The edges are cut
 into deep points that sthrow into re- lief the daintiness of the fabric and
 the lace trimming against the som bre background of dark dress.
 The cuffs follow the mode ofs the flounce. To a band that is finely
 tucked two flounce-like sections are
 joined. One of these almost covers
 the hand and the other extends al-
 most to the elbow like a gauntlet. Collar and cuffs are edged with fine
 valenciennes lace which. by the way, Is much favored trimming for col lar and cuff sets.
 Other cuffs are seen, made along the same lines as those in the pic- ture. but with pleating used for the
 full sections. These are simple in the extreme, often showing no trimming at all. However, the material Is ai- ways of very sheer quality and it's dainty transparency keeps out any note of severity that might be sug-
 gested by the lack of trimming.
 And here you have the whole
 charm of these collar and cuff sets. They simply must be airy aBd dainty.
 Then, too, the fit of the collar counts great deal. There are different necklfncs to consider and wee 10 .he girl who tries, to pinch small collar to fit a neckline for which it was not intended. The, whole effect of l neatness is spoiled.
 However, these pretty sets are not expensive and it is possible 60 have enough of them to cit the several dresses with which they are to be worn. Then there ought to be a which they give to clothes is very satisfying in itself and has a lot to
 do with the steady popularity which white collars and cuffs have enjoyed. When you have your collar and cuff family all ready in the bureau drawer, there is another thought you
 ought to give them. Sew tiny fast
 eners to the bands. so that they may
 be attached to their respective Q
 dresses without any fuss or trouble
 with needle and thread. It is said that this idea works out splendily at large schools for girls and 1t seems that It might well be adopted by the girl who believes in efficiency

I have been quoted number of times as speaking with good deal Of feeling about the gradual disappear ance of manners. I do think that consideration. Everyone in America Is in a terrific hurry, rushing madly whether they have anything to do or not! Undoubtedly good manners take time and trouble. It seems to me that they are quite worth 1t. Peo- pie in general are realizing the de- cline in manners, for I;often hear II discussed. It Is depiored by most people, but I have heard one or two trying to establish defense for the brusQueness that it's becoming mora and more popular. Polished and for nal manners, these people insist. are a sign of insincerity. They contend that the men of Latin faces have de- lightful manners, but are not nearly as good sons and husbands as the rough and ready American.
 This is a rather Sweeping state. ment. However, 1t may be, l do not think 1t proves that manners are de- pendent upon sincerity or insincerity Good manners are the result pri- marily. of training. On the other hand, one often finds the most spon- taneously charming manners :n peo- pie who have not had the benefit Of training, but who are sincerely kind and instinctively considerate. l am convinced that good manners can only add to the charm and pleasure or life. We cannot make others more comfortable without adding to our own comfort.
 When a girl is old enough to be in troduced into society she can no longer be considered 2 child. It Is supposed that she has already been well grounded in the rules of conduct. Goodness knows, our families begin to drum manners into our ears as soon as we are able to Understand the English language.
 Punctuality An Essential.
 The debutante, I believe, should be very punctilious with regard to an should be answered the next day-at the outside in three days time. Shortly after being formally enter tafned at a certain house, she should leave her card on the mother and the daughters of the family who have come out" Of course, this Is not necessary, if she is a frequent and case. it is necessary only oncc during the season.
 Punctuality is another thing to bo impressed on the young girl. There is nothing moro irritating or unat- tractive than the girl who is always late. For that matter, lateness Is irritating to anyone. I have noticed that generally it is the people who are "frightfully busy" over nothing to whom in reality time has no value who calmly keep others waiting! In a young girl it Is inexcusable. and ex- tremely bad taste.
 It seems to me that good manners take somewhat the same place that discipline in small formalities takes in the army. You become slipshod in

QUOTED
"HE'S 4 BRICK"

This isn't slang expression nor an Americanism. as some are inclined
 to think. but rather a classic, twenty
 centuries old. Plutarch, in his Life
 of Lycurgus,' tells us that 1t orig
 mated in Greece at the time of that
 great lawgiver.
 The Spartans and Lacedaemonians used force of expression which cut down all the flower of studied ele- gance. They were trained to speak concisely, to condense their ideas
 into the fewest possible words. Lycurgus himself was short in
 speech. When asked why he made so few laws he replied: ITO men of few
 words few laws are sufficient"
 When asked if the city of Sparta
 should be fortified. he replied: "A city is well fortified which has a
 wall of men instead of brick" On | another occasion the king of Sparta was showing an ambassador about the city when the latter remarked i on It's absence of walls of defense. Come with me tomorrow" said the
 king. and will show you the walls of Sparta"
 Much marveling how this could be. the ambassador appeared the f next. day and was shown the king s army drawn up in battle array. | Pointing proudly to the serried host, the king said: There thou behold est the walls of Sparta. and every man is brick"

HON DOCTORS
 TREAT COL DS AND THE FLU
First Step In Treatment Is Calo- tabs, >the Purified and Re- fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds, coughs. sore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly &C., tive. That is why the first step in the treatment is the nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may 20 a long way towards preventing influ- cnza and colds and is one of the most important factors in enabling the pa- tient to successfully withstand an at- tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two Calotabs at bed time, with swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active. your system is purified and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Genuine Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents for the large, family-package: ten cents for the small. vest-pocket size.-Adv.

this, and you find yourself become gradually slipshod in other things There was a well known story dur ing the war about an English regi- ment famous for it's splendid appear ance and discipline. Officers and men were particularly proud of the high polish of the buttons on their uni forms. Shortly after the commence ment of the war it was thought that time was too valuable to spend so
 much of 1t polishing buttons, and an order was issued to that effect In short time it was noticed that the men were no longer keeping their boots as well as before; and then, bit
 by bit, other details of discipline be- gan to be overlooked. The regiment was deteriorating. An order was is-
 sued again demanding the highly pol
 ished buttons. and the old standards
 of the regiment returned!
 This story was told me by an officer of the regiment, and I think it readily applicable to everyday life. Some o1
 the demands made of us in years gone
 by have been relaxed, though they are
 still made in foreign countries. De-
 tails of conduct which seem unimpor- tant and almost foolish believe often
 have greater significance than Is gen.
 erally supposed. Gracious manners not only add charm to social inter- course, but exert an important influ- ence on the national character and
 standards of life. The debutante, least Of all, should disregard their

THAT WORD?
TERRIER

The word terrier" as applied to q dog, does not, on the surface, show any relationship to the word earth But the relationship is there, and il is direct.
 The Latin word for earth 1, terra" From the Latin the French obtained their terrier" the burrow oI hole in the earth in which the rabbit takes refuge when 1t is pursued oI needs privacy.
 Taking yet another short step, thI French gave the name terrier" to the dog which pursues the rabbit to the burrow or hole in the ground. And the English got the name from tht French.
 But both dog and word have a per fectly good English. standing now rather than French
