If you have not a good pat- tern, get a dressmaker to cut you one. There is a dressmaker who so values the fit of a collar that she is not satisfled with what cutting alone can do, but she must needs pull and tug at her lining canvas until it shapes itself to the neck in ques- tion without a wrinkle or a pucker.

You éither have these or not, according as nature has endowed you. Without them in abundance, never try to make one of these things. They are atrociously expensive ready-made; this is by sé somebody else had to be paid for having and exercising these very qualities. Better raise the money or do without, than wear a clumsily made one. A dainty affair in white, blue and gold sells at $8. This is one of the simpleé ones. The stock is of tucked white satin: it is trimmed with pale blue velvet embroid- ered in white French knots. Blue velvet ties are headed with goid filagree orna- ments. The Persian velvets are sweller than ever and one of these combined with black velvet and shot with gold buttony, makes a smart collar for a black waist. Narrow black velvet ribbon serves for the tie. The tie of nearly all these stocks comes in the front. 7That is in accord with the fashion of the day, which pushes hair, hat, blouse and ribbons all to the front as it the wearer were followed by a high wind. One exception to this rule is found in a broad lace collar that is finished at the back of the neck by a fat chou of chiffon. This is one of the low sailor-shaped col- lars that fit at the base of the stock in the back and meet in front at the walst line, leaving a wide open V. Many ‘of these are of gold or silver lace. BSome are of chiffon, others of varlous kinds of lace as various as your purscs. ) ({ = T, N9 N ’.J ent ways and are of a thousand diff. colors. The big fichus to be worn with evening gowns are simple in form, being cut ex- actly like those that our mothers woce and our grandmothers befors them. They are a big oval piece of net bordered by a fiounce of trimming lace. This is folded down the middle In shawl-shape and draped in any way that the fancy of the wearer and the form of the shoulders may dictate. It may be knotted at the bust, at the walst; It may be crossed in front and carrfed about the waist to the back, where it is tied if it be long emough. It may be brought together at the bust and clasped with a'large brooch, the ends be- ing left loosely hanging. The chiffon boa 15 as perishable as an eggshell and as dainty as a cloud: It is made ‘of yards and yards of chiffon, all crimped and fluted and gathered upon a strip of ribbon. The chiffon is usually edged ' with chenille and long ropes of chenille finish the ends. Black or white or a ‘combination of the two are the most frequent colors: for these boas; all other shades may be found, however. There is no use exposing one of these fragtle things to a fog unless you hava the wealth to ‘buy a :.new one for every wearing: Dampness ruins the shijring in short order.

PON ths plateau regions of the Amazon has been discovered a new ® D ’ P U and terrible insect that bores a hole into the skull of a man, driv- ing him crazy. It has not besn named vet sclentifically, and for want of a better namie the Ametfcans - who found thefr welrd creaturs have called him simply FICHUD .. il > m \‘» “the skull borer.” The Professor C. A. Pyrers and ¥ They went to the Amazo: L. Wolford. River to inves- tigats the work of the mound buflders, and found the insect In the Batchua Mountains, the Amazon. The Batchua Indians are punished by being branded and banished, and after banish- ment without the pale of the India | habitations they wander around, an | variably return insane. It was this con- which struck plorers as peculiar. and they Imm took steps to laok deeper into the matter They found the graveyard where th | sane are. buried, and Investigating the hodles saw that the skulls wers per trated as 1f by a small caliber bullet. | Then they went to explore the tablelands where the banishad men wander, and | there ‘they found ' the insect, which fs something llke the “figger” of India and ather tropieal climates. This insect Is de- | scribed by one of the discoverers as being | a plain common fellow In appearnce, | about the size of a buckshot, and rese: bling a buckshot in size, form and color | Under the glass, however, his peculiar | bone-boring propensities wers at once ap- parent. The entire edge of his circular ‘pmn was a minjature saw. Upon being disturbed he plainly showed the proced he resorted in order to get out harm’s way. Round and round he turned upon the limb to which he clung. He sank | into the hard wood as if by magic, leaving & clean hole behind, filled with the fina |'dust from his borings and completely | screening him tn his course. He probably | would be classed with the sarcopsylla genus, to which belong the Peruvian chi- along the ex- Aately ditfon of insanity in- to ot | Tees Por emggers anz s carapato, or South "African tick.. Still, he is entireiy different from: hese fellows. The effect the skull borer has on men is thus described “We closely scrutinized several of those ‘possessed’ of Batchuas who roamed at will through the crowd that surrounded us, and found the insane symptoms wers as'varfed as thése to be found in an asy- lum for the demented. There were those who had special hobbles. Some were con- tinually calm and pensive, attempting no vioience in any form. Others wera con tinually vicious, and still others wers only viclous at times. Others wers upon imaginary hunting trips and hid for game behind the big huts. There was no trace of physical deterioration.”
