Neckwear.— Some  of  the  new  collars  and  half  a  dozcn  of  us  with  a  warrant 
are  of  white  broadcloth,  the  edges  finished  and  headed  by  tlie  sheriff  sallied  into  the 
with  old-fashioned  pinking,  some  plain,  stabie  with  a  rush  and  I  showed  them 
and  some  decorated  with  stencilled  flow¬ 
ers  in  color.  Among  them  ai‘o  many 
sailor  collars  of  various  sizes  and  shapes, 
round,  pointed  and  square;  also  small 
wired  back  collars.  Some  of  tlie  vestees 
have  sailor  collars,  others  the  wired  back 
collars.  The  chief  objection  to  white 
broadcloth  neckwear  is  that  it  soils  very 
easily  and  requires  more  care  in  -wash¬ 
ing  than  muslins  and  organdies.  We  are 
told  to  wash  the  plain  white  broadcloth 
with  lukewarm  water  and  white  soap; 
the  stencilled  collars  are  to  be  cleansed 
with  naphtha.  Deep  cuffs  are  much 
worm  Crepe  de  chine  neckwear  is  very 
popular.  Gauutlet  cuffs  and  large  rolling 
collars  of  white  or  cream  crepe  de  chine, 
batiste  or  organdie,  edged  with  frills,  will 
be  generally  becoming,  and  will  transform 
a  plain  dark  dress. 
Lingerie  Suggestions. — In  cutting 
out  an  envelope  chemise,  one  saves  a 
quarter  of  a  yard  in  the  length  by  cutting 
it  across  the  top  without  shoulder  straps. 
Few  women  use  the  shoulder  straps  indi¬ 
cated  iu  the  pattern,  as  they  are  usually 
cut  away  from  the  trimming,  which  forms 
the  only  strap  over  the  shoulder.  An¬ 
other  saving  is  effected  by  seaming  on  the 
envelope  flap,  instead  of  cutting  it  con¬ 
tinuously  with  the  chemise.  There  is 
sometimes  complaint  that  the  buttons  and 
buttonholes  of  the  flap  tear  out.  It  is  de¬ 
sirable  to  put  two  pleats  at  the  edge  of 
the  flap,  thus  narrowing  it  a  little,  while 
making  it  firmer,  then  stitch  a  piece  of 
half-inch  tape  across,  and  set  the  buttons 
on  this.  Instead  of  putting  buttonholes 
near  the  edge  of  the  chemise,  stitch  a 
band  of  half-inch  material  on  the  under 
side  of  the  front,  four  inches  above  the 
hem,  the  width  of  the  flap.  Work  the 
buttonholes  iu  this  band,  and  button  un¬ 
derneath.  The  strain  on  (lie  buttons  is 
less,  and  tbc  garment  has  a  better  out¬ 
line  than  when  buttoned  right  at  the  edge. 
In  place  of  a  plain  underwaist  or  corset 
cover  little  camisoles  of  ribbou  and  lace 
are  used  under  thin  blouses.  They  are 
easily  made,  the  foundation  being  a  belt 
of  four-inch  ribbon  fastened  with  buttons 
or  snaps,  with  two  wide  ribbon  shoulder 
straps  like  suspenders,  which  may  cross 
in  the  hack,  or  go  straight  over  the  shoul¬ 
ders.  These  shoulder  straps  are  gathered 
a  little  narrower  at  the  shoulders,  where 
a  little  how  or  satin  flower  is  often  placed. 
A  strip  of  wide  lace  is  then  gathered  to 
the  belt,  attached  to  suspenders  at  sides, 
and  fitted  with  a  beading  at  top,  where 
narrow  ribbou  draws  it  to  the  proper 
size.  A  plain  but  very  dainty  camisole  is 
made  of  crepe  de  chine,  white,  flesh,  or 
the  color  of  the  blouse  with  which  it  is 
worn.  It  is  merely  a  straight  piece,  hav¬ 
ing  a  hem  at  the  bottom  through  which  a 
stout  elastic  is  run,  and  a  casing  of  satin 
ribbon  at  the  top.  Strips  of  crepe, 
bound  with  satin  ribbou,  form  the  shoul¬ 
der  straps.  Camisoles  for  evening  wear 
are  made  of  crepe  de  chine  without  shoul¬ 
der  straps,  with  an  elastic  run  in  top  as 
well  as  bottom,  the  upper  elastic  holding 
the  camisole  just  below  the  arms,  and 
thus  preventing  underwear  from  showing 
over  the  shoulders  through  the  thin 
bodice.

CHATTER  XVII. 
A  Visit  From  The  Gang. 
It  was  about  the  first  week  in  Septem¬ 
ber,  shortly  before  Harry  went  home.  We 
two  sat  by  the  etibin  grinding  out  “Old 
Gray  Bonnet,”  “Gayly  O”  and  such  an¬ 
cient  favorites  on  the  grophopboue  with 
my  French  flute  and  Harry’s  nice  tenor 
by  way  of  variation,  when  we  saw  Ha¬ 
zel  Frost  come  hurrying  along  the  road 
and  up  the  steep  slope  to  the,  cabin,  half 
breathless,  and  her  full  brown  eyes  large 
with  excitement.  “O,  Mr.  Spalding,”  she 
cried,  as  soon  its  she  reached  us,  “Bill 
Carey  and  tin*  others  are  going  to  do 
something  to  get  even  with  you  I” 
“They  don’t  worry  me,”  I  replied 
easily.  “AVhat  will  they  do?” 
“I  don’t  know  for  sure.  Ben  I.auty, 
who  works  for  us,  you  know,  is  not  very 
bright.  Father  was  praising  you  today 
about  your  trees  and  chickens,  and  Ben 
Lauty  said,  “I  tiuk  his  farm  won’t  look 
so  pretty  in  a  day  or  two.  Bill  Carey 
tells  me  dot  dere  is  two  kinds  of  raids  and 
der  Spalding  feller  ober  dere  will  find 
out  der  next  kind  soon,  alretty.” 
“And  you  came  to  tell  us,”  said  I 
gratefully. 
"There  was  nobody  else  but  father  and 
Lauty.  Father  is  too  lame  just  now, 
so  I  had  to  come.  I  must  go  back  now,” 
she  insisted. 
“They  will  do  no  harm  now  that  we 
know,  aud  I  have  you  to  thank  that  we 
shall  be  on  the  watch.” 
"O.  that’s  all  right,”  as  she  started  to 
go,  but  I  insisted  on  taking  her  home 
safe.  It  was  small  enough  return  for 
such  friendly  efforts,  and.  to  drop  such 
pretence,  I  was  glad  enough  of  the  chance 
to  walk  with  her,  as  any  young  man 
would  be. 
“They  may  come  tonight  and  they  may 
not,”  I  commented  to  Harry  on  my  re¬ 
turn. 
"What  will  they  do  to  us?” 
“Nothing;  they  are  not  the  kind  to 
pitch  into  a  couple  of  meaty  youug  men 
ou  their  own  property.  1  have  no  barn.
