DESIGNS IN NECKWEAR

RADICAL CHANGE FROM THOSE OF LAST YEAR. Fin. Sneer Voile la a New Material Which Ma Be Mad Up at Homi Into tn Daintiest of Ores Accessories. Neckwear designs this season differ radically from those of last year because of the change from low to high neck. Tbis oat u rally means either a considerable expenditure for new neck wear or considerable sewing In spare Ne Neckwear Design. I time at home. Homemade neckwear can be quite t. dainty as that seeo In the shops, and can be produced at much less cost. Very fine, sheer voile is o new material used for neckwear It is in , tended to supersede organdie, snd I believe it will quickly find favor if for oo reason other thsn that it I very ' easily laundered Since neckwear, to be attractive, must be ever fresh, anything which will tend to lessen the laundry work is sure to be appreciated I N' t is a close second to voile.

The psper csn be pulled away when the embroid ery Is finished. The fluffy side frfl i in vogue again. A jabot thus adorned will do much to redeem a somber looking dress or an out-of-date waist. There should be a number of these fluffy frills lying about at home, as it was so popular a model not long ago Tho?e who must make them will need, for one jabot, half a yard of pretty insertion and from three-quarters to one yard of edging foi the frill according to the width of the frill. English eyelet embroidery is favored above all else for the strip, though i some frills of fine voile are edged with s narrow filet lace at.d attached to s strip of the lace but wider Some ' models show the frill on both sides of the strip. Is this esse the Jabot ends just below the bust and the frill is carried sll sround. Tiny pesrl buttons are used for trimming neckwear, in place of the little linen button of lat year. They have no visible means of attachment, but are known as trimming buttons The ordinsry pearl buttons with hole for sewing sre not the proper thhrf. These are small details, but they mark the upto-date neckwear; and one might as well get the correct thing when purchasing. All neckwear apparently closes in front.

TOMMIE S BIRTHDAY.

Tummle wanted to go fishing, but hi mother told him he must wait until someone could go with him. she could not let him go alone, and that some day very soon she would go with him and he could fish all day. Hut Tummle was not satisfied, and right after dinner he told hi mother hwas going to play with the boy. Rut instead of that he went to s store and bought a hook and line then he dug worms for bait and went to a pond he knew of to fish. He baited his hook snd cast it into the pond Hut th fish bad no intention of biting that day. Tommie soon grew tired of waiting, and thourht he would go In wading The water felt nice and cool and he diil not notice where he was going Suddenly he slipped and down he went, and then he was frightened, for how could he dry his clothes before it was time to go home. Rut he walked in the sun for a while, snd by the time he reached home his outside clothes were nearly dry He ate his supper and went to bed early. When his mother came to k'.s him good night she picked up his underclothing, which he hsd left on the floor, and found they were damp ' How did you get so wet" ' Oh. one of the boys turned the hose on me." Tommie replied. "You should have told me when you first came in the house; you may take cold.'' said his mother She felt of his hair and found it was quite dry. so were his shoes and stockings, and though his mother did not men tion it again she had her suspicions The next week was Tommies birthday, and while he was dressing that morning his mother told him she was to take him fishing, and that he would rind his birthday present in the next room Tommie hurried in to see what it was. snd found an outing suit of khaki, which he had been wishing for. and beside it s fishing rod Tommie felt guilty, but he thsnked his mother snd told her I was Just what he wanted. After breakfast a large basket was packed with sandwiches and other nice things to eat. snd they went to the car When they arrived there were several of Tommie's bey friends and their mothers. Tommie looked surprised "Where are you going" he asked They laurhed and said they were go Ing with him It was a surprise picnic for Tommie's birthday. They had a nice ride in the car along a country road and stopped at a grove. On the opposite side of the The Water Felt Nice and Cool. grove was a lake. They fished, and caught some. too. Then they went wading, and then such a nice luncheon as they had under the trees Everybody had a good time. Tommie en Joyed it. but his conscience troubled him; he hsd disobeyed his mother snd told her s wrong story. He was truly sorry, snd it took sway all the pleas ure of his birthday picnic every tlm he thought of it When they reached home everybody thanked Tommie for their good time, and he felt ashamed, for it aas his mother who had given him all the pleasure, and he knew he had not treated her honestly That night when his mother said goodnight. Tommie rsid: ' Mother. I hsve been a wicked boy " He was crying a little. "Tell mother all about IL" she said, putting her arm around him. Tommie told her how he went fishing and wet his clothes, and then told her an untruth about It. and that now he was sorry and ashamed. His mother told him how bad sh felt to know he had been untruthful, and that he had disobeyed Nt th.r she had been very unhappy since the night he told her. for she felt then he did not get his clothes wet in the wsy he ssld Phe asked him to promise never to deceive her again Tommie promised and went to sleep, fedirit? happier than he hsd since he told th wrong story Too Busy.

The farm boy must learn from the beginning to become a skillful farmer and take sn interest in the work he does and the work thst is gome on about him If he does some work thst does not please his father he should nut bscolded but. rather, encouraged and shown and helped to do .the work right so he may not mske the mintsk the next time If there is a cheerful, encouraging work spoken to the boy it will help him wonderfully The boy ahould learn to do hi.work honestly and well and not to think thi or that little piece of work too trifling to do, for the trifles make perfection If he will do hi work well and honestly he will have s dear con-

He will take pride to tending to stock if he is given a few of the farm animals as his own. He will feed and watch them growing with more pride than some older farmers themselves From one or two snimals he mayhave quite a flock in a little time if they are well taken care of. The boy may also take great Interest in raising crops if there Is a patch of ground given him to work and cultivate He may feed the products of hia work to his animals and he will feel better than If he were feeding the products of the fields that bis father cultivated. 1 do not think the boy should b I kept too steadily at work for it will naturally 'become tiresome and he wrwnts a change Just as older people do He should be given some spare tlm to do what he wishes to do himself, and then when he does work he wifl work with more seal. I think the boy should go to school as much as he possibly can and not be kept at home too much, for then he will fall back In his studies and be oo proud to go to school when ho cannot keep up with his mates; and w hen he gets a rest In the winter he w ill delight In commencing the spring work. The boy who lives on a farm will have more fun in the winter than boys who live in town, for he can find many sports in the winter in the country that are not available to the boys In town. If the farm boy tries to be contented, work on the farm, and by the help of the older people with whom he lives, become s good farmer he w ill surely be contented. Floyd Raker. Age Fourteen Years.

To be oneself is quite a different thing from being unlike everyone else. Some girls seem to feel that the only way to express their individuality Is to be little startling. As a rule, the girls who dress and talk and conduct themselves in a way to make heads turn, are not expressing their own per sonalltles at all. The girl who Is afraid to be herself, for fear she will seem different from other people, makes a more serious mistake not quite as serious Indeed ss the girl who mskes a deliberate effort to be Just s little different from everyone else.
