NNE RITTENHOU! The detachable fur collar is spoken of as one of the navelties devises for sutumn. Now, of course, there is nothing new about a fur collar that is not uttached to the frock or suit with which it is worn; but this new idea is to have a suit or frock, often fur trimmed, finished with a collar that exactly belopgs to it which ean nevertheless be removed when the wearer wishes, One much-talked-abbut frock ve- eently shown, made of gray and blue plaid material. has wide hem and cuffs of platinum wolf with ‘a_de- tachable collar of the same fur. Gras velvet ribbon forms strings to tie the collar and these ribbons are finished with tabs of the platinum wolf. This use of ribbon or cords fin- ighed with tabs or puffs of the fur iy also spoken of as something new Almost always the ribbon or cord matcnes the fur as nearly as pos- sible. Collars seem to show little dispo- sition to dccrease in size. To be sure. by way of marked contrast there are to be found frocks. and suits with very narrow fur collars. Wraps— evening wraps, especially—have col- iors that would be a burden to carry did not the dressmakers contrive to make them perfectly hollo’ There are enormous bolster collars’ made of velvet, sometimes fur-trimmed. that are made on_ feather-light canvas foundation. One very interesting evening cape shows the collar achieved by a series of inverted tiers of the velvet. beginning from the re- gion of the clbow. There are five of these ticrs, one within the other like the leaves of a half-open pond lily, and then a final tier—an inner pet of ermine that forms the frame round the face and hair. Many collars are of velvet and as many of velvet trimmed with fur. Some ingenious dressmaker has made collars of a sort of shredded leather to use on sport coats High /but very roomy is the way you might 'describe the collars on wraps designed for afternoon and evening— as wide as the shoulders many of them, and as high as the ears. novelty, this, but just a continuation n have found nvenient ) of a farhion’ that wom very comfortable and (Copyright, 19: Novelties in Col!ars for Fall i | FUR COLLAR TIED WITH CORD WHICH ENDS IN TWO LARGE | PUFFS OF FUR.

Fear is catching. Offen men Are quite as xilly us & hen. Old Mother Nature. When the young chuck looked out from the bushes at the head of the Leng Lane over to Farmer Brown's barnyard and saw the hens running about there. they had not looked so very big. That is because they were &0 far aw; But when, having, against Old M -Toad's advice, tured up to that barnyard, the young Chuck poked his head out of the long ven- e AFTER HIM RAN THAT BIG ROOSTER, grass he was quite unprepared for You see, they He the size of those birds. were just birds to him, not hens, knew nothing about hens. 1t happened that he poked his head out of the grass right in front of a hen, and not more than‘a foot from her. Biddy was startled. She was more than startled—she was frightened. You see, she didn't take a good look at the young Chuck, and she mistook him for some one else. She mistook him for Robber the Rat. She gave a frightened squawk. and ran, e Now hens are somefimes rather silly. All the other hens right near began to squawk and run. = They didn’t know what they were squawk- ing for. and they didn't know why they were running. It was just be- cause that first hen had done these things. So the hens were scared and made a_great fuss, and the young Chuck didn’t know what to ‘make of it. When he had first seen that hen close to him he was scared himself, But as soon as he saw that she was afraid of him. he lost all fear. To him those hens were just great, big foollsh birds, and so he didn't run back into ‘the grass to-get out of move toward them. Those silly Mens crowded together and began to make a great racket. It rather tickled the young Chuck and made him feel very big. It would give him something to boast. about. He longed.to tell his brothers and sisters how he had made those great birds afraid of him. e wanted to frighten them some more, and so he kept on toward them. And then from around the corner of the barn came,a bird bigger than any of the others. This big bird came with his head held high and in rather a stately way to see what all the fuss was about. But the in- stant he saw the young Chuck great change came over him. My my, my. [ should say so! He sud denly lawered his head and made all the feathers on his neck stand out. Then he ran, but he didn’t run away. No, sir, he didn't. He ran straight toward that young Chuck! Of course, you know ‘who it was. It wag Farmer Brown's big rooster. The voung Chuck took one good look, and then he took to his heels. He was as badly scared as the hens had been. After him ran that big rooster. That rooster was lord of the henyard, and he didn't intend to have any of his subjects frightened. The young Chuck ran straight for an opening under the barn. It looked dark in there, and he wanted to get out of sight. The rooster was right at his heels, and he didn't get under that barn any too soon. My, such & scared Chuck as he was!
