Collared Neckline Is i'm Fashion

And now it is the collared neckline
which presents to the stylist new
opportunity to create" Ever so many
of the new daytime frocks are made
with a collar of f1attering lines. 1t
may be Of self or contrasting fabric,
or else the dress or blouse may ac-
quire lace or lingerie accessory type,
but always, mind you, to be smart,
originality must be the outstanding
theme.
Evidently fashionists are determined
that no two collars shall look alike,
whether accessory or very part Of
the garment. Which accounts for the
whimsical styling of the white geor-
gette collar which distinguishes the
frock in the picture. The dress it
self is of dark printed crepe de chine,
a very likable material for practical
daytime wear.
One cannot say enough in regard to
the collars, and collars which contrib
ute to style interest present and fu-
ture. One outstanding feature is the
favor shown lingerie types, among
which fine white organdie or georgette
plaitings abound. A flair for travers-
ing surplice openings with sheer white
frillings is an outcome of the vogue
for lingerie touches on the autumn
frock. Also style message of i'm
portance is to the effect that starched
linen, piQue, organdie and batiste neck
wear is coming into vogue.
If you would like to give a this
season look to the navy, black or
print frock you have been wearing,
freshen it up with one of the new
youthfully shaped collars of Puritan
styling and made of sheerest Of white
organdie, the same self-lined. The
chic thing about these new collars is
that they fasten with a conspicuous
fiat butterfly bow, which also is made
Of self-lined organdie. Deep f1aring
cuffs complete the picture. These or
candle collar-with-a-bow and cuff sets
are very smart and new note.
Another noticeable feature about
the new collars is that many of them
are developed along jabot lines. Still

HINTS FOR HOUSEWIFE

For best flavor and color cook all
preserves rapidly.
A small electric fan helps to keep
the kitchen cool in summer, and to
drive out cooking odors.
Lettuce or other salad green's may
be crisped in very cold water contain
ing a little vinegar or lemon.
Protect iron or steel utensils which
are stored for the summer by coating
the surface with paraffin or other fat
containing no salt and wrapping them
with newspaper. This applies to fiat
irons and stoves as well as to small
kitchen utensils.
To make cover to protect food
which is cooling, stretch a piece of
cheesecloth over an embroidery frame
little larger than the dish containing
the food. Several hoops of graduated
sizes may be kept for this purpose on
long hook in the kitchen pantry.

Attempt to
Bait Croats

The formal acceptance of Premier
koroshetz's resignation by King
Alexander yesterday. marks the be-
ginning Of an attempt on the part
of the Belgrade government to in
duce the Croatian and democratic
deputies TO return to the parlia-
ment and to give them place in
the cabinet. Leaders of the Croa-
tan Peasant Party and of the In
dependent Democrats, who are at
present at Zagreb, capital of Croa-
tia, have been informed that the
king will receive them in audience
today.
Yesterday DR.. Matchek, leader of
the Croat party, had declared that
the Croats were not a party but a
nation, which, in view of previous
utterances, was taken to mean that
the Croat leaders would accept
some form of home rule for the
provinces instead Of the original
demand for independence.
1t is believed that an attempt
will be made to form some COM
promise and it is known that the
bourgeois nationalists would COM
promise if they are granted lead
ing position in the government.
