White Collar
Girl Is Pet
Of Fashion
BY JOAN DEAN

THE WHITE collar girl is
fashions pet this Spring. She's
the little darling for whom the
most varied neckwear has been
designed, in every style from
the dashing eighteenth century
ruff collars TO the early Ameri-
can bibs.
White accents are tfemeh--
dously important on navy. black
and purple frocks. Large por-
tons are served-some OF the
collars are enormous-and the
staccato touch OF white gives
a lovely rhythm TO many an
otherwise dull costume.
PURITAN COLLARS to give
the white collar girl that inno-
cent and guileless look-are
presented as the most fascinat-
ing of new frills. The helpless
woman pose is part of the l94l
fashion Schemei
So. no matter whether you re
the most efficient of secretaries
or the boss right hand when IT
comes TO shooting statistics. the
crispy white collar you. don will
be designed TO make you appear
gentle and frail.
THE LINGERIE lure is
delicate one, what with the
latest in collars being frothy
and filmy as spun sugar. Soft
ened shoulders indicate soft
treatments in neckwear-more
feminine effects.
Yokes, which are usually
square, go in for width and
depth. Mousseline de sole and
organdie are fashioned into
these yoke collars, outlined with
ruffles to give them that charm
ing early American quality.
LACY EDGES make them.
even more frifiy. And with
some of the collars there are
very decorative ruffled cuffs at
the wrists. AS with the ador-
able jabot sketched. FIR exam
pie. A Regency gallant might
have worn it. with its delicate
pleated frills.
It's made TO fit any necklIne,
though particularly well suited
TO the square necks that pre-
dominate in today's frocks. And
looks well with jeweled clips, by
the by. Pleated organdie ruff
fies are attached to the en-
broidered organdie band. and
Val lace edges the ruffles. Set
is 81!
TWO LITTLE Puritans are
square yoke collars. both having
ruffles to outline them. The first
is of eyelet embroidery. crisp as
icing, and edged with dainty Va
lace. Second is tucked organdle
with embroidery band and lace
and tiny pearl buttons for q
final accent. Each is priced
at So.
Long and deep is a gorgeous
creation in embroidered Swiss
organdie-imported embroidery
which has a little black bow
al the neck and divided points
forming a deep V in front II
falls in a low rounded sailor
collar in back

Memories of the Opera

BU GiuliO Gattt-CaSGszd
Charles Scribner'S Sons, NeU
York.
The recollections of the greatest
opera impresario of the goth CEN
tury are things to be cherished even
though they are not as revealing as
the reader might hope.
i-Casazza, the man who
placed Milan's famous La Scala on
firm ground in its Wobbly days
around the turn of the century, and
who projects the Met" into its most
golden era in his later years, was
not only a resourceful businessman
but a keen lover of the operate
art and sympathetic friend OF Its
artists. His management OF the
worlds two leading opera houses
naturally brought him in close con-
tact with those performers best
known to this generation: Tos-
canini, Caruso, Farrar, Chaliapin,
Campanini, Tibbett, Ponselle, Pons,
scores of others, including such
composers as VeTUl, OeDuooy dilu
Puccini. In his memoirs Gatti
writes of them all in varying de-
grees of fondness; of himself he
writes with modesty. But, above
everything else. his complete devo-
ton to the institution of the opera
stands clearly.
The book is illustrated with many
of Enrico Caruso's caricatures OF
personages of the operate stage.

1t is estimated that $4,000 900 was
spent on comic magazines in 1910.
During the same period only s2,000,-
900 was spent on regular children's
books.
Those who prefer the comics
praise them for eye-appeal, terse-
ness of language, swift action, broad
humor, picturesque vocabulary, to-
days tempo of excitement. Where,
they ask, are the more literary chill
dren's books which show comparable
qualities?
Well, how about tall tales?
Have you thought of Paul Bun
yam, the mighty lumberjack who
combed his curly beard with a pine
tree? He was a great hunter. He
had a gun with rs barrels arranged
to point in all directions at once.
Skookum, his dog companion, stood
inches high in front but 16 feet
high in back. He was good at run
ming downhill.
Exploits of the cowboy, Pecos Bill,
rival even those of Paul Bunyan. 1t
was Pecos who invented the first
leather lariat. He made it by loosen
ing the hide behind an old steers
ears, grasping him by the tail and
then yowling so the frightened ami
