This is one of the daintiest j)zn,f;erns, and very durable. It:is to be worn with coats or dresses. ' Below this collar is a bow made of tubing of crepe ;de chine. This is pretty and easily made. The crepe de chine is cut in narrcw bias strips two inches wide. . The codges are laid together along the center of the strip and tacked to place. This gives a fold an inch wide. This i folded again 'and the folded edges blindstitched together, forming the tubing. About two yards of it will be required for the bow and-ends. The ends are finished ‘with a pearl bead and small round beads covered with the crepe de chine. o ' _ The remaining collar in the picture is made of batiste in a light tan color and embroidered in seveYal eolors and in oriental design. It will be effective.on suits of linen in natural colors or white, and on cloth suits. It is finished with a band at the meck and rolls over the neck-opening of bodice. or coat, ; : ' Collars like those shown in this style are to be worn with or without ties, at the fancy of the wearer. Long, straight ties of narrow velvet ribbon or of foldga\crepe de chine are shown, finished with beads at the ends./They are worn much like a strand of beads about the neck. L " . JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

WALL DECORATION IS WORTHY o OF MUCH THOUGHT. S On the Proper Seleqgtion and Hanging of Pictures Depends Much of the Beauty of the Room—How Best : to Display Them. : Very few people know how to hang pictures. This may seem a sweebing statement, but one has only to noflce the different walls round about—perhaps in one's own home—and the sweeD will be verited. In some rooms in which 1 have been 1 could be almost sure the . pictures had been hung by the participants in a- donkey party, each picture being tacked at random by a sightless oné, and by no means near the donkey!— here, there, leverywhere, with no reference whatéver to form, color, design; ornamentatign, unity, but rather a proposition of so niany pictures, so many bare walls, so many tacks, and up they go, with the result looking much so, E - _ - Now, while in most cases a plea could be made for more .regularity, toc much regularity (the wrong kind) is just as bad, writes Ethel Davis Seal in the Philadelphia North American. I remember. once noticing the peculiar effect produced by a large picture and 4 small one exactly_ beneath it, repeated ;séven or eight times in one room, with no hope of a change in sight to relieve the'monot'ony. 1t was as trying on the nerves as a constant striking on one key on the plano. Be! gides, it cast reflec¢tion on the originality of the picture hanger, L . Hven worse is the overworked diagonal placing of pictures. While this is occasionally good the cccasion is only the exception swhich proves the rule, and I might almost say that you should -never put one picture a little to one side beneath ancther picture. And this seems the favorite placing on the wdlls of most amatenrs: - [ youl Fknow that ¥you 'don’t. Lnow.” de not Lo alrald ‘to hang just one picture of fair size in whatever space vou have under consideraticn and condense all the ‘little }ii‘cZu:‘('f«‘. you {n?i you must have -on one: wall, ’f'hl'-} brings me to one of the serious faults to be found sometimes with the pictures themselves: they. are too smail and 'in:_;igi pificant.

In massaging the wrinkles about the eyes, remember that these muscles are very sensitive and the lines should be ironed out as gently as though you were: pressing out a «‘ros'e_ leaf.

Care:should be taken when massaging the face to not make new wrinkles while you are taking away the old -ones.
