getting a new and smart costume this
Summer does not consist in buying a
new frock. Quite often the frock is of
lesser importance. The wiser plan
may be to go forth in search of scarf
and hat, or belt and handbag, or para
sol and scarf. or shoes and gloves.
A very simple little frock of neutral
color is all that is needed as back
ground for such distinctive accessories.
One well dressed woman is planning
to have number of simple frocks of
white crepe de chine. These will be
the background of her Summer ward
robe. Different sets of accessories will
do the rest
nON'T you sometimes wonder when
- you visit the neckwear counter,
in your favorite department store,
who is going to wear all the collars
and collar and cuff sets, all those ia
bots and ties and vestees and guimpes
and similar jeegaws that are sold at
these busy counters? 1t is especially
puzzling to know who is going to wear
all those finely made and quite ex-
pensive undersleeves. Apparently
some one will buy all these things
eventually and most of them before
many days have passed, for the neck
wear counter is one of the busiest
spots in the store at this time of year
and you have to stand many minutes
before the busy little saleswoman
comes to wait on you.
Detachable neckwear really does re-
Quire considerable attention. Undoubt-
edly the reason why the uncollared
frock with swoolen or silk fabric un-
relieved at the neckline has remained
In fashion SO long is because it de-
mands less time and attention. And
many women are going to be a long
time in giving in to the new fashion
for applied collars.
, And some women, to all intents and
purposes, have registered a solemn
vow never to wear high collars as
long az they live. On the other hand,
there are some women who will suf-
fer all such inconveniences for the
sake of what they consider smart.
The craze for mannish effects has
favored several different sorts of high
collars. For sports wear there is the

Count Tolstoy:
Count Tolstoy, the great Russian
writer, also had but a memory Of his
mother. He was very young when
she died, and, strangely enough, there
were no pictures of her. So he made
her up" in his mind and when he was
sad and lonely used to think of her
His father told him that his mother
played the piano beautifully, and that
she was very clever; in fact, she spoke
easily five languages. The young Tol.
stoy decided that he wanted to be the
sort of man when he grew up that his
clever mother would not be ashamed
OF, had she lived. So, you see, even
though he'd never seen her, she had
lot to do with her sons life.
Frances Willard:
Frances Willard, the temperance
leader, tells how much her mother
encouraged her.. She never called
us bad children" says Miss Willard
She told us that we were good, and
therefore she always expected good
things of us. So, of course, we We're
bound we wouldn't disappoint her"
William Cullen Bryant:
Bryant's mother taught him his let
ters, and it was from her that he early
gained his love of reading. 1t wasn't
easy for her to find time to teach her
young son. for Bryant's family was
poor, and the mother of the family
was a sort of factory on a small scale.
She spun FAX, wove linen, made quilts,
dyed all the dress goods, and even
made the candles by which the boy
studied his lessons.

re Of Interest, to Younger Readers
What They Owed to Mothe

When you grow up you want, OF
course, to make your mother proud
OF you. And that very same ambi-
tfon to please mother is what had a
very great deal to do with the sue
cess Of some of the greatest men and
women. They wanted to please their
mothers.
George Washington:
There's the story Of George Wash
ington, ana how wishing to be kind to
his mother changed his whole life.
When he was about Is years old he
enlisted as a midshipman, and his
trunk was sent on board the ship. His
mother not only hated to see him go,
but she felt 1t was not the wise thing
for him to do. When he came to tell
her farewell, she burst into tears.
The youthful George ordered his trunk
