THE NEW A(E, PORTLAND, OKEGON. '! w 4 1 l3" - 99 V MANY COLLARS SEEN. THE ARE MOSTLY OF THE SAILOR SHAPE. All Now Gowns Have Them and They Arc Realty Very Pretty - Mmlc ol Velvet, Silk or Other Kino Mutcrluls Fashion Notes. New York correspondence: UCII use Is being made of sailor col ors, which In n nearly endless va riety seem nlmoit to bo the chief characteristic 'of n e v a n in in o r dresses. Tho col lars are n trifle larger than those of last year, and far in ore elaborate. Nothing U now too Hiii! or too hand some, for this acces sory. Those made of laces nnd em broidery are by far the prettier. Lace and grass linen In linen color nre nu merous, nnd the all white collar, of course. Is much used. Klne tucked lnwu, mull, organdy and chiffon finished with handsome up pllquc lace nnd Insertion nre used here, too, nnd batiste and nainsook embroid ered collars compote In loveliness with those stenciled out in both mntcrlals. Bolero nnd eton Jackets hnrdly nre con sidered complete unless they show n col lar on the sailor order. Much colored silk beautifully iipplliiued with silk and gowns. Crcnm and black Incc Insertion arc another feature of stylish trimming. White organdy gowns nre finished with bins folds of Howcred organdy edged top and bottom with rulllcs of very narrow White Valenciennes. The bands are put on In odd slinpes that give a striking look to most of the gowns. Flowered organ dies and mulls nre trimmed with cluny and torchon both In bands nnd medal lions. White velvet baby ribbon edges tunny white gowns nnd looks very dain ty. Net nnd lnee dresses usually nre trimmed In this manner. Lnce nnd em broidered llounces are employed exten sively, nnd silk passementeries nre being used on wash materials with good effect. Tucking, plentlng, smocking and shirring do not lose fnvor nnd nre generally em ployed on new models. There Is n ten dency to hnve bodices blouse very freely in front' nnd ninny handsome ones fasten nt the back. This allows the maker to elaborate the front more than ever, though ndvnntage Is not always taken of this opportunity. Consider the cream Incc bodlco In the middle of the next pic ture, whose trimmings were apple green velvet and cut steel buttons. Of course, much freer trimming cnitld hnve been put here. Muny elbow sleeves are seen, with finish of hnndsomc lace or embroidered rutlles. Bishop sleeves bag more nt the wrists, nnd underslecves nre very much lnrger than they were early In the sen son. Of linen, canvas, duck nnd pique gowns there are tunny very elaborate two-piece models. Cotton cheviot reckons In here, too, nnd Is by far the hnndsomest of nil, standing well mnny kinds of elaborations. A pretty dross of it is shown nt the left In the concluding sketch. It was wedge wood blue, with piping of white duck anil folds of white pique ns trimming. Mnny of these suits nre rather plain, the skirts finished with tucking, strapping or llounces. coats are made with basques or belted" lu nt the wnlst line, nnd finished with stitching, strapping or braid, or with rovers and collar of some white wnsh mn- WHAT COURTS SAY IS LAV.

Collars of linen, pique, duck nnd denim nre worn, ns u rule, with suits of the mime material. Black silk nnd col ored silk conts nud costume, both in transparent nud heavy materials, nre - trimmed with elnboruto collars. These nre scalloped, pointed or cut In fanciful fashion, some hanging full over the shoulders, others drawn tight to the bust, where they are finished with u kuot of ' ribbon or a velvet rosette. A plain vol- Tct collar Is seen now and then, usually In koi ne very bright nil ml o.

More elaborate collars usually are more satisfactory. The next illustration shows two, n white silk collar embroidered with silver braid, nud a pretty affair of stenciled batiste em broidery. Dove gray voile was the dress material in the first case, white muslin In the second. It hardly may be said that these sailor collars are ns plentiful ns yokes Used to bo, yet they abound to n degree that may mnke fashionables tire terlal banded with brnld. Many button in front, others nre in blazer fashion. Pongee suits made on this order nre fashionable nnd very cool. They nre stitched iu self color or red, green, blnck or white, and nre made plain or elaborate, ns one chooses, A simple one remains In the pictures. It was natural colored pongee, and was trimmed with straps of pongee stitched In red, had red bone but tons nnd belt nnd collar a red was crim son velvet. Batiste embroidery nnd" ecru cluny nud torchon Inces nre used as trim ming on more elaborate pongee suits. Some urr strapped with emerald green velvet. Fancy shirt waists In white or batiste usually nre worn beneath the jackets. Nainsook, nnd lawn ruflles trimmed with lnce nnd Insertion nre shown for wenr over silk petticoats, Tlicy nre nut toned on to the silk skirt where the rullle joins nnd may bo changed whenever nec essary.

"Ferooioun Kngliuli Sparrows. A great mnny young men go to Itlver tou at this season to shoot live pigeons ns they Uy from traps, and some of the young men agreed recently that for a, target sparrows would mnke an agree able substitute. So they caught no less thnn 100 spurrows nud put them In a big cage against their next shoot, which was to come off In three days. But they found ut the end of that time that all the birds but six were dead. They had fought and fought among themselves until only these six Invinci ble champions remained. The young men concluded that they hud been so unlucky us to cutch unusually vlle-tein-pored birds, and ut considerable trou ble they landed another butch. These, too. however, battled together, qud af ter forty-eight hours hud gone by there lay hi the cage eighty-four dead spur rows. while two live ones staggered feebly to nnd fro, nnd, when their breath returned, began to tight again. The young men ure now convinced, says the Philadelphia Itecord, of what they should have known before, that uo living creature U more ferocious or more game than the common English sparrow.
