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? Just think a bit about it.—N. Y. Times.
