SEWING MACHINE. endeavor, if possible, to decide whether the world would be an} happier or brighter for the abolition of collars, or whether collars per se have added to the gayety of nations. The exact time when collars were first worn cannot be set down with any degree of certainty, but it is reasonable to as&ume that they came into being for utilitarian rather than for ornamental purposes. It is well known that the collars of our medie val ancestors were substantial enough to protect the throat from the swords and pikes of belligerent acquaintances, and it is to be conjectured that the immediate forbears of the modern collar had an equally useful if not so strenuous an origin. As a matter of fact, then, it would appear at first glance that the collar of to-day is but a degenerate descendant of such weighty progenitors; but a survey of the uses to which collars are now put should c onvince one that the plain linen band has grounds for existence equally well j based with those of its great-great-great- very-great-grandparents. In the first place, collars serve to overcome the shortcomings of nature. A six-inch neck with a protruding Adam’s apple could never hope to get on in the world unassisted by a collar. Such a neck would be simply im possible. Similarly a one-inch neck with a four-ply chin. Some of our greatest finan ciers and most astute statesmen wcfuld be wallowing in sloughs of despond to-day were it not for the ubiquitous collar. Hence the variety of collars, and hence the necessity for keeping one’s neck well groomed. The farmers’ boys who achieve national fame doubtless owe much to the collar they donned when they entered upon an urban career. The rich men’s sons who waste their talents and meander through life mon uments to failure may justly attribute many of their errors to an ill-advised selection of collars. Everything has a place and every neck has a collar, but not any collar. Again, collars are hygienic in the extreme. This may not appear true on the surface, but may safely be stated in view of the weird discoveries that the medical gentle men are now making. We live in a world of germs. The food we eat, the water we drink, the very air we breathe are all laden with insidious, wicked and death-dealing or ganisms of less than atomic corporeality but more than monstrous activity. Everything with which we come into contact is germ laden, the wise men of the mortar tell us. Through the very pores of our skin death blows are delivered. Now, the neck is one of the weakest parts of the human body, and at the same time is one of the most impor- ant parts. The collar guards the neck against the satanic germ. Eureka! a new reason for wearing collars is discovered. Still further, collars form an index to the progress of a nation. The peoples who wear collars are incomparably further ad vanced than the peoples who leave their necks as nature provided them. Even the savages who string beads into a species of collar are on a higher intellectual plane than their fellow savages who do not run to beads. In our own coun try a striking example of the importance of collars from a national standpoint is af forded by the Chinese exclusion act. Do you think we would ever have excluded the Chi nese if they wore collars? But spread the news not abroad. Should the benighted laundrymen of Chinatown ever learn that all their fellow countrymen need do in order to get an entrance into this delect>ble king dom is to don collars, the well-laid plans of congress would be a gley forever. Our collar makers would dai.c - a merry fling, but ths rest of the nation would pay the piper. In truth, collars have their shortcomings, too. We have already hinted at one fault— the tendency to irritate one when one is heated—and we have obviated this fault, for the present, by removing our collar. But there are times when the collai cannot with propriety be removed. Such occasions are multiplying daily with the ever-increasing variety of parlor games being placed on the market by enterprising dealers. A ping pong enthusiast, for example, must feel worried when he is called upon to display hi* skill at a social gathering. How he would like to rip that band of linen from his neck, but he durst not violate the conventionalities. And his opponent, a chubby-faced college youth with comfortable turn-down collar, or a sporting dominie w ith queer, stubby, liUle turn-up, grins at him comfortably, while he, perspirirg in his ridiculous but fashionable choker, makes ludicrous and feeble attempts to drive, cut or kill the tiny celluloid sphere. Moreover, if it were not for collars we would pot be cursed with collar buttons, those imps of mischief who delignt to frolic in most unexpected quarters while their ag griev-id owner is hunting for them on ach ing knee. But there—everyone will be sat isfied with a mere hint at that line of argu ment. The subject is distasteful to a well- regulated mind, and the morbid should never be encouraged. Taking all things into consideration, the problem presented by the collar is one that every man should solve for himself. It sim ply means that the collarless man is likely to have much physical comfort but possibly nothing of worldly success, while the collar wearing individual will probably have riches, honor and advancement thrust upon him, but certainly none’of the physical en joyments attendant upon the existence led by the other fellow Which do you pre fer?
