THE ALL-CONQUERING COLLAR, Schedule of Colors to Be Followed 1n St Neek Dands. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—However simply one's eutumn gown may be made there rests a sort of moral responsibility to give the collar at once a decorative and original appearance. Of course, as this is the autumn when dark ffs are to the tore, the sensible dressmaker dashes in an trrelevant but wholly coquettish bit of color at the neckband. Turquoise, old rose ! AND YOUNG GIRL TARTAR SUIT FOR A and certain pastel tints are the only tones o be avoided, for the well-dressed woman prefers something at once wapmer than the pastel tints and more original than blue or pink Out of respect to these sentiments the makers of beautiful clothes have evolved & sort of schedule of color arrangements tor collars and with a brown gown a green neckband is considered the most tastetul combination, with & blue gown the dom- inant tone near the face should be Bur- gundy red and with a red gown black and white and & touch of gold is the prefer- ence. Just what form the neckband should ke is not far mor dificult to discover, for a broad, straight band is universally preferred to any of the eccentric shaped collars within which devoted womankind suffered and was sllent. But, after all, the true charm of a ueckband depends on 1ts decoration and none but a pessimest could fall to approve with at least five out of the seven charming designs for collars glven in the sketched group of noveltles from a shop famous for these pretty trifles Collar number one, counting feft side of the picture, is of h lace, na from the y ecru ned, out of deference to the re- cent International trouble in the east, point de Chine, or Chinese point. It is a lovely, heavy, deep cream web, woven wholly of silk with the tiniest and most placable looking dragons worked on the lace In gold.

It is made very simply of pale baby blue Liberty satin ribbon speckled, with sllver dots and over the upper edge of the ribbon folds a narrow band of gray, bandmade Russian lace. The other col- Inrs tell thelr storles for (hemselves, but 1t remains to be said on this subject that the dressmakers supply every gown sent from thelr rooms this winter with at least threo changes of collars, for it s their be- et that by the appearance from time to time of fresh throat decorations the whole character of a gown Is changed Novelty Winter Goods, A faithful chronicler of the fashions would have a pleasant duty unfulfilled mot to chrouiclo some of the novelty goods on the busiest counters In the shops.

About the bust and shoulders of this practical little suit a scart of black silk Manchurfan crepe is draped and drawn in front through a charming gun metal buckle, in which small amethysts are sunk.

The organization was prompted by an in- cldent that occurred last summmer. A young man summering at Plymouth became en- gaged to one of the pretty Puritans there and their marriage was thought to be one of the future's surest promises. But to the utter wmazement and great shock of the xo0od townspeople, a dark beauty turned up one day, elaimed the prospective bridegroom s ber husband and took him away with her. The shocked young woman who had thought herself soon to be married collapse at the revelation and was very il for & long time. She had friends tn town and about the countryside, and some of them, remem- bering for their part the evanescent cha acter of the woolng of summer men, quietly banded together for mutual protection. No member will tell who another member 1s; no one will hardly admit that she 1s a member, but still the soclety does exist and no one can say how many have been the utihappy marriages which it has prevented. To be a member of the soclety one must be between 17 and 30 years of age. It Is durlog this period ot life, say the young ladies, that one fs most apt to be sought by swains, sincers or otherwise, and so needs protection. Meetings are held at stated intervals, or a member can call a epeclal mecting if she wishes that the oth- ers may consider some especial and press- ing case. The first president of the society, elected last October, and who will hold office for a year, Is Miss Jeanette B. Corley. The vice president and the young woman who will, says Miss Corley, be made president next, is Miss Alice Plorce.

Then at the mext meeting the young women come together with their judgments formed.

As soon as a woman’s nerves become excited by some, feminine disorder, she loses control of her speech. She has no patience with anybody or anything. The ones sho loves the best are the ones to whom she talks the meanest. Trifles light as air drive her almost frantic. She is worse than crazy, because she knows what she is doing and can’t help it. She doesn’t have hysteria and doesn’t have fainting » i8 nervous, horribly nervous. Does she get sympathy i Oh, yes, she gets sympathy for awhile, but she acts so outrageously that everybedy keeps out of her way as possible. After a while they begin to think she’s malicious and could do better if ghe tried real hard. She has turned her best friends against her. This woman is sick with about the most discouraging sickness wemen can have, and there is a person who understands her case better than any one else in the world. That person is Mrs. Pinkham. The nervousness comes from some derangement of the feminine organs, and is constantly fed and made worse by the constantly developing disease.. Female diseases never get better of themselves, They must have proper treatment. Ordinary physicians do not know how to grup&\lu with these dis- eases of women. Out of the hundreds of thousands of women Mrs. Pinkham has cured, not one in five hundred tried her advice or her medicine until they had exhausted the skill of their own physician, sometimes of several physicians. Mrs. Pinkhant’s address is Lynn, Mass. prompt and free to all suffering women. { You may not know that your nervousness comes from i female troubles. Your doctor may not know it.

Don’t throw your life’s happiness away and make yourself unlovable, when a little diligent heed to Mrs. Pinkham's advice will drive away your nervousness by removing the cause of your treubls, Read carefully the letters from women Mrs, Pinkham has helped.
