Collars Made of Liz hit Material
BY MARY MARSHALL.

close outstanding collars. but the wide
shawl collar that leaves the neck
partly exposed at the front is still
with us.
For the woman who chooses the
frock with low neckl.ne. but who still
wishes to produce the effect of a fair
ly high neckline for street wear. there
are clever little collars of kasha and
other woolen materials. hardly heavy
enough to cause overheating. If de-
sired these scarfs may be left with
ends hanging loose, or one end may
be thrown over the shoulder. How
ever, to produce the collared effect
there is usually some sort of device
to keep the scarf close about the neck.
The sketch shows one of these new
scarf collars. 1t is made of copper
colored kasha trimmed with brown
velvet. Two shades of bue-one a.
dark navy--make a smart combina
ton for scarf of this sort.

II Wouldn't Care if She Was
Stunning"
BY MIMI.

Mimi, he's left me-thrown me
over-;ust when it seemed that every
| thing was going to be wonderful for
| the rest Of my life. ] went with Jack
| for two years and We were every
! thing to each other.
| II had not the slightest doubt about
his faithfulness. And, really, he has
been true to me up till last month,
when he met this awful girl Marie.
I'm not just being the usual jeal-
! Gus critic when / say that this girl
. is awful. Every one who knows any
thing about her says the same thing.
She's ugly and rather loud. She has
bad reputation. And he's simply
crazy about her. He's actually going
| to marry her-has asked her parents
consent and all that.
lie went with me for two years
and never once seemed SO anxious
to marry me as he is to wed this
dreadful girl. 1t hurts my pride so.
| wouldn't mind half as much if she
were stunning. Then, at least.
should feel he had a reason to leave
me. I'd know that my rival was
worthy successor. But to think of
his throwing me down for that crea-
ture he loves it breaks my heart
That's the wrong attitude for Elsie,
the writer of this epistle, to take. She
| shouldn't be SO miserable over the
other girls inferiority.
If Jack prefers the type of girl
Marie appears to be, then Jack isn't
the sort who could ever have made
Elsie happy.
She's a nice, quiet kid with lot
of fine ideals. Jack in his choice OF
Marie as a wife has shown a sur
prising lack of taste and also very
little moral Judgment.
This fact should comfort his de-
serted sweetheart. She's found out
something about him which might
never have come out till long after
they were married. and then it would
have been too late to do anything
about it.
How much more heart-rending it
would be for her to know that Jack
had fallen for a great beauty-a
woman of wit, charm and experience!
How many vain tears of regret
Elsie might have shed over that
situation, realizing that Jacks choice
showed his good sense and taste more
strongly than ever. Realizing that
her rival so far outshone her, her hurt
pride could find no balm in the other S
inferiority.
As it is, Jacks new selection has
definitely established him on a lower
level.
Elsie may quite easily look down on
Marie. She can do this with smile
of superior satisfaction.
If Jack is no better than to be
Marie's husband, Elsie can have no
enormous respect for him as time goes
on and she begins to reason. more
clearly.
Instead of finding herself in the po.
sitioA of pathetic little faded sweet
heart deserted for radiant beauty
she can survey the situation with
some complacency.
To all who know her it must be
apparent that Jacks taken a bad flop
Most people will pity him-few will
pity her.
The point which seems to be bother.
ing her most is that which should be
giving her the most comfort.
Just because the other woman is
an inferior person. she should realize
that Jack has lowered himself and is
no more up to her standard of man
hood.

To remove Scorch stains from

Gen. Lee Gets $50, 900.

PHILADELPHIA. October Z, 1876.
An advance of $4,000 has today
been voted to Gen. Charles Lee of the
Continental Army. The action is an
unusual one, but the circumstances
are peculiar. Gen. Lee is an Eng
lishman with a long and varied mill
tary record. When this war came he
was residing in America and he Of
fered his services in the cause OF
American liberty. He attached to his
offer one condition, which was that
America should recompense him for
any loss he might sustain in case he
lost his English property through al
living himself with the Americans
against England.
The offer seemed to be a fair one.
and such military genius as Gen. Lee
was believed to possess was much In
demand. Considerable sums of money
were due Gen. Lee in England when
he entered the American service, and
his agent in the old country has been
unable to collect them. In the mean
time Gen. Lee has contracted to pur-
chase an estate in Virginia, and to
conclude the transaction according to
agreement, he needs ready money.
Taking these circumstances into con-
sideration, and recognizing also that
Gen. Lee has already performed val
liable services for America. Congress

In 1864 an enterprising resident Of Cali
forn1a established salmon cannery on the
banks Of the Sacramento River for the pur-
pose OF utilizing the chinook salmon which
swarmed in that stream. There were smaller
runs of other species, but the chinook was
80 conspicuously the most aboundant the
largest and the richest that it was used ex-
clusively in the newly established Industry.
This salmon has reddish flesh, and when
the growing demand for the product induced
the extension Of the industry, the growth
was toward rivers and sections producing
the same fish or other red-meated species,
drst to the Columbia River, then Puget
sound, and latest In A1aska For q great
many years the only salmon canned were
the red-meated kinds and the public has
come so intimately to associate the color
with the product that pink or pale-f1eshed

suspicion. Even lght-meated chinook, COM

caused the public to pass by the cheaper

all having the same general life history
They all spawn in fresh water but the

Canning Opsrationa.
Salmon canneries make extensive use Of

the fish during the brief period of the runs.

the product by almost entirety avoiding con-
