The knowing ones say that America has better neck wear than France, and that a greater variety of things is to be found In our shops than in those of Paris. Possibly. But the idea In neckwear, as well as in the rest of clothes, comes from Paris. It is usually sprung In the rue de la Palx and copied at once on the Boulevard Haussmann, from which spot it drifts into the world. The word drift is scarcely appropriate con nected with any fashion. The word leap Is better, for one part of the world knows what the other part is wearing so quickly that the fashion reporter Is compelled to be a mental subject. America rarely accepts the French neckwear entirely. It plays upon the general theme and produces fashions of its own. First It took the Medici collar and put it Into j uslln and made the turnover parts most pronounced. Then it used the Robespierre In several ways: it never quite adopted the Glad stone in its original lines, but France also changed this model qlute mate rially before It became popular. The Stiff Rolling Collar. Now there's a new collar in the French shops. It is made of muslin in bright colors like turquoise blue and watermelon pink and rmethyst purple. It Is formed exactly like the yoke put on the neck of a horse and is there fore called the yoke collar. It Is a turn over, but instead of being flattened out. It is deftly rolled at the edge. There Is no trimming on It beyond a line of hemstitching or of hand-em broidered French dots. It does not reach far down in front and the neck band is slipped Into the surplice front of a white blouse or a dark blue frock. Skirts Match Collars. The size, the stiffness, and the bright coloration of these yoke collars give such emphasis to a blue blouse that many smart women have determined to match them with linen skirts. For instance many of the smart cos tumes going to Deauvllle have very short plain skirts of watermelon pink linen with full white blouses having long set-In sleeves finished at the neck with a yoke collar of pink muslin. With this costume are worn pink and white striped stockings those ac cordion stripes that are quite pretty Good Model la This Hlh Muslin Collar. i and the new white canvas pump with the smooth rubber sole and no heels. The sailor hat is of white satin with an enormous black velvet poinsetta at the back. There are all kinds of collars and de signs in these new collars. There are plenty in black and white stripes, ana women who like a more brilliant touch of color than a plain surface gives are taking up the Martlne stuffs with their broad stripes against which are backed brilliant flowers. WHAT SHALL I WEAR t There Is something decidedly pleas ant about the present state of styles, so far as the woman who is some times puzzled about the proper clothes to wear at a given time is concerned. For nowadays almost anything looks right at almost any time. At a lunch eon, for Instance, a talteta coat suit might hobnob with perfect congruity with an elaborate lingerie irock that. half a dozen years ago, we should have considered quite decollete enough tor evening wear. The present collarless habit that women have has brought about this one good change, at least: the puzzle of the right frock for the right time is no puzzle at all. In a book of advice to young house keepers written 30 or 40 years ago a book containing lots of good advice, Dy the way there is one bit of advice which suggests that the young house keeper can wear wash frocks for doing housework, and that is she has them made in a rather elaborate fashion with a ruffled skirt, and wears with them pretty sllnppers she need not feel that she will be confused with the housemaid. Nowadays, the morning frock for strictly utilitarian purposes is as simple as the morning dress of a housemaid? But who cares? Certainly not the young housekeeper who wear it a comfortable, loose, one-piece frock, with short sleeves and low col lar, neat and becor ing. It still behooves the woman who would be properly clad to take some precautions not to wear the wrong clothes at the wrong time. She must still remember that rubber-soled shoes are the thing to wear when she is in vited on a yachting trip. For the yacht's decks are easily scratched by French heels. But then women this Summer are wearing rubber-soled ties and pumps and high, laced shoes even In the city streets. And in the country they are worn from morning till nigl t, since some experts have declared them admirable for dancing. And In spite of the joke about the little boy who saw his mother arrayed in a new evening frock and asked her whether she was going to bed or to a party, there is still little difference be tween our negligees and our clothes for more formal hours. In the mountains or at the seashore a simple costume is really in decidedly better taste than an elaborate one. Any of the washable white skirts, or those of serge, with fine, sheer white or colored linen blouses, accompanied by a gay colored sweater of silk and a shade hat or parasol, are a comfortable and suit able garb for morning and early aft ernoon. Of course, when late after noon and evening comg then t..e frock may be as elaborate as mat worn in the city. For in spite of the sprigged mus lins and figured crepes that are worn this Summer, they are not made Into the simple frocks that were worn by the ladies of Cranford. DivoTvedZife JfhnffeasanpfUess?6 (Copyright The Adams Newspaper Service.) Fate and a Dance. CHALLONER, the newcomer at the Inn, paid little attention to the remaining guests. He was politely in different to the few to whom he had been introduced. During the day he would disappear for hours at a time for rambles alone, or would take his pipe and a book and paddle up the river alone In a canoe. Marian was not flattered that he paid but scant attention to her, consisting now and then of a nod of recognition in the dining-room, or of a formal bow and some perfunctory remark if he chanced to pass her in or about the Inn. Yet she was thankful for this Indif ference, for the unprecedented mag netic excitement to which she was stirrred when he was near persisted, and she was afraid of really knowing this man. She contrasted his peculiar effect upon her with that of other men she had known, including that of Frank, her former husband. She knew that new and wholly novel depths were be ing sounded, and that no man had ever affected her the way Challoner did. She knew that if he were to vanish and never come within her sight again, she would nevertheless remember him viv idly. Certain personalities have a way of attaching themselves to the memory like barnacles, clinging thereto on through the years, while others which were once intimately familiar, dissolve at length and are gone. It was not ordained, however, that this man was to slip out of her life and assume the aspect of a mere mem ory. Fate, or whatever it was that had made their paths converge to Placid Inn, was busily engaged in con structing an entirely different pattern of events. Had either of them been able to lift the curtain and peer into the future, it is probable that each would have fled in a different direc tion. - One evening there was an informal dance at the Inn. Marian had been planning to go to her room and work right after dinner. But the lure of dance music held her, and she whirled off into a bit of tangoing with young Dale. After that McCarrens was on hand, begging for a dance. Later, see ing old Wiley, the woman-hater, stand ing by and watching the dancers, Marian could not resist the temptation of challenging him to a dance. This last completed, she started for her work. "Not going, are you. Miss Win throp?" demanded a quiet voice. Marian turned to find herself look ing into the gray, commanding eyes of Challoner. This time the eyere were smiling gravely. "I have a pile of work to do tonight," she answered. "Then I shan't detain you," he re plied. "I thought you might care to dance." The music struck up at this point. Her senses strangely a-whirl, Marian answered: "I'll be glad to dance again, thank you." It was anything but what she had in tended to say. His indifference had ir ritated her like the feel of a whip. That and a sudden desire to see and know more of this man had made her reply bound to her Hps. And with an abruptness that almost startled her, she found herself moving across the floor in his arms. Tomorrow Drawn Together. Getting A Start "Nathaniel CRjwlerJr. (Copyright. 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Prospects. (Copyright. 1914, by the McClure Syndicate.) REAL men, men worth while, live both In the present and in the future. They render full duty to the present, and consider, and even dream of, the future, always without neglect ing the responsibilities of the present. What we do has two distinct values: First, what it brings in Immediate re turns; and. secondly, what it may giv to us In days to come. If what we do only satisfies the appetite for the time being, it is sufficient unto the aay and unto that only. If, besides givin the necessary daily food, it makes one better able to meet the exigencies of tomorrow, it then has accumulative value and becomes an asset of the fu ture, as well as of the present. The great business men of the world, those who have built our national in dustries, work in the present, anticl pating future results. No business man, no man of perspl caclty, expects an innovation to pay at the start. He deals in futures, rathe than in transients. He looks upon re suits as Investments, which he hopes to be able to cash In in days to come. The improvident man seldom antici pates. So long as he has a dollar in his pocket, he Is satisfied. He cares nothing for the future, and expects the future to care for him. It won t If disaster does not overcome him, he glories in the knowledge that he is as well off, apparently, as is the provident man; but, unfortunately, all of us are pretty sure either to run into trouble or to have trouble run into us. If we do not anticipate disaster or accident. and prepare for it, we are in no condi tion to stand it, or to overcome it when it arrives. Looking ahead, preparing for a prob able or possible future, for rain or shine on the morrow, not only enables one better to meet it, but enhances his present commercial and other values, for it allows him to deal both In pres ent commodities and in future" results to live comfortably in the present, and to be prepared for what may come. He to whom the future, does not ap peal, he who does not anticipate the morrow, he who has no thought of prospects, he who lives from day to day, is no better than the insect who lives and dies on the day of his birth Prospects, then, are as worthy of consideration.' and are of the same im portance, as are the things of the pres ent, and it Is just as necessary to pro vide for the future as it is to forage for our daily bread. With feet firmly planted upon the rock of today, reach out both of your arms into the great unknown. Do not, however, forever stay anchored. When the sea of your life is placid and safe, slip your moorings and ven ture Into the ocean of reasonable chance. Prospect, look ahead, if you would use the future to advantage. Be a man of present action, never with out a vision. He of the present may not starve. He of both the future and the present will live. Be cautious, but unafraid. Forget neither present duty nor future pros pects. Live today, and think about tomorrow. Don't stay "put." 1b-NlGHT (Copyright. 1914. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Old Three Heads Part II fOR the first time since she entered i; the castle, Lucy was frightened. The giant looked at her a second, and then he called out to his attendants, who all had three heads, but were much smaller men: "Bring the Intrud er before me." "Bring two heads," he said, when Lucy stood before him. When the heads were brought, one had black hair and one red. T do not want those heads," said Lucy. "They do not match my hair. Can't I have two golden - haired heads?" "Those are all I have," said the giant, "and you will have to wear them. On with them," he said, and the attendants fastened the heads on Lucy's shoulders, one on each side of her own head. T wish I could see myself, said Lucy, still curious. Take her to her room, said the giant, and Lucy was taken to one of the rooms that opened out of the long hall. When she was alone, she looked around the room and saw a mirror hanging on the waul. She ran and looked into it. The new heads looked very cross. What is the matter with your asked Lucy. "I do not like red hair or light hair, Id the dark-haired head. "And I do not like dark hair or light hair," said the head with red hair. "I cannot help that," said Lucy, "I did not want either of you." . "I will not stay here," said the dark haired head. "Neither will I," said the head with the red hair. And they began to pull away. Lucy bent first to one side and then to the other, with the pulling of the quarrel some heads. "Do you keep quiet," she said at last- 'I am sorry I said anything about the color of your hair. If you will be good, I'll try to get you something nice to eat." This plan quieted the heads, and Lucy went to the door. It was not locked, and she opened it and went out. First she went to the room where the horse was. "Horse, can you tell me where I can get something to eat," she asked. "Yes," said the horse, "go to the fireplace and -call up the chimney." "I want my dinner," called Lucy. Down came a table with food upon $650 Flayer $365 Graves Music it and a chair standing beside it. Lucy seated herself and began to eat. Then the trouble began; every time she raised the fork to her mouth, the dark head or the head with red hair would stretch out their necks and take the food from the fork before Lucy could get a chance The new heads quarreled because each thought the other was getting more than its share. Lucy put her fork and knife on the table in despair. "Tou are a pair of greedy heads," she said. "I have not had a bite." "It Is all your fault," said one, "you should not have got us." Lucy went into the room where the cat was and asked her if she would tell her where she could get something to drink. "Rap three times on the wall," said the cat. Lucy tried this and a cup appeared filled with water. Lucy tried to put it up to her lips, but the head with red hair reached it and drank all the water. Lucy rapped again, and another cup appeared, and this time the head with dark hair reached it and drank every drop of water before Lucy could stop it She tied several times, but each time the greedy heads drank It before she could get her lips to the cup. She went into the room where the dog was kept. "Where can I And a comfortable chair and a book?" she asked. "Tap on the floor three times," the dog said. Lucy did as he said and a chair ap peared and beside it a table filled with books. Lucy opened one of the books and looked at the pictures. "I cannot see them," said the head with red hair. Lucy moved the book to one side. "I should think you would remember that you have three heads. said the head with the dark hair. "How do you expect me to see if you keep the book over on that side?" Lucy moved the book to the other side and then the head with red hair began to fuss again. "Oh, dear," said Lucy, you are the most selfish heads I ever saw. I will go to the cow and see if she can help me." she said. Where can I find a bed? she asked the cow. "These heads have Just tired me out." "I will get you one." said the cow. Moo, moo," she called, and up from the floor came a bed. Lucy lay down upon it. "I do not want to go to sleep," said the head with dark hair. I do," said Lucy, "1 am tired and I am going to sleep; you can stay awake if you wish to." 'I do not feel tired," said the head with the red hair. "I feel like singing. and it began to sfng so loudly that Lucy had to get up. I will go to the owl and see u ne can help me," she said, as she went out of the room. She went into the room where the owl was and opened the window. The owl hid its three heads. You are such a wise bird, she said to the owl, "I wish you would tell me what to do witn tnese new neaus; mey quarrel all the time." "Who, who! said tne owi. "I cannot understand how anyone could ever think you were wise." said Lucy. "All you can say Is who, who I wish I could be rid of these trouble some heads.'' "Why don't you, then? said the head with red hair; "we come on it you pull hard." I never thought of that, said Lucy Dulline- at the head with red hair. Off it came and new tnrougn me window. Then she tried the other and it came off and followed the other through the window. "Would vou like to be rid of your extra heads?" Lucy asked the owl. "Who. who." answered the owl. "You silly bird," said Lucy, pulling at his extra heads; off they came and followed Lucy's heads. "Let's go to the cow." said Lucy a-nA take off her heads." The owl tried to follow her, but bumped against the wall and fell to the floor. "Oh. 1 forgot that you could not see the daytime," said Lucy. "I'll put you on my shoulder," sne saio. pica ne him ud from the noor. Would you like to get ria oi yuur extra heads?" Lucy asked the cow. nr cnurse T would, she said, now did vnu tret rid of yours?"

"Let us go to the cat and tne oog and the horse," said Lucy, "and help them to get rid of their troubles." Rich of them said they naa never thought to try pulling the extra heads ofT and they were very graieiui iu Lucy for helping them.

HAVE just come from Amanda's, and she has been telling me of her "I engagement to Howard," observed the Clubwoman. "Another girl headed for the rocks," sniffed the Old Maid. "I wouldn't prophesy that exactly," objected the Clubwoman. "But I do fthlnk Amanda has one big problem to work out." "She's lucky if she has only one," cynically rejoined the Old Maid. "Others may develop, but I feel rath er sure of this one from what she was tel' ng me." "Goodness! Is she discovering his faults already?" "No. That is" the trouble. She does not see as a fault the trait she was discussing in him. In fact, she was rather proud of It. She was telling me of his persistence as a suitor." "Persistence is a good trait," grudg ingly admitted tho Old Maid. "Yes, but one wants to very carefully discriminate between persistence and obstinacy. They are rather closely re lated. It seems that ne saw her at some affair or other and was quite taken with her looks." "Just like a man," sniffed the Old Maid. "She might be addlepated or a 'vixen, but if she was good looking noth ing else mattered ur.til after mar riage. Then It Is a different story. "He tried to get an Introduction," went on the Clubwoman, Ignoring the other's digression, "but for some time couldn't manage It. When he did, her aunt, with whom Amanda lives, took a dislike to him and objected to Aman da's having anything to do with him He had quite a fight to win his way. I believe there was another man, too. But he stuck and finally won out And Amanda Is quite set up by the way he hung on In spite of obstacles. She Is quite flatered by it." "Some women are flattered by man's being Jealous of them before marriage. That's another story, too, after marriage," "Yes," agreed the Clubwoman. "And I r.m not so sure Amanda should feel so pleased at Howard's rsistence. For I could see from what she said that mixed with his undoubtedly genuine regard for her was a little feeling of not being willing to b beaten. When the aunt and the other man tried to come between them, he persisted, In the beginning, as much from the de sire to get the better of them as to win her. And If Amanda lsn t watcnrui that trait will develop into obstinacy. He will become 'sot,' as the saying is. and heaven help a woman with a hus band of that sort." 'Heaven help a wom-n with a hus band of any kind," sniffed the Old Maid. Hardly that," laughed the Clubwom an. But it Is one thing to warn, a gin because you want her. and another to want her because you want to get the best of somebody else. I would like my little friend Amandt to see this tendency toward plg-headedn In him. If she would detect it In time she could help him realize that by develop ing into an obstinate man, determined to have his own way at all costs, he is going to limit his horizons and shut much of beauty and good out of life. Vnd he'll circumscribe hers as well. She ought to take a stand now while he Is especially pliant. For his good, her iood and the good oi the home tnat is o be, she ought to do It.
