New Neckwear Adds Spice and Charm
to Old Frocks.
Butterfly bow of funk georgette. All of the white
satin collars and those made of satin with bengaline
are included in a moderately friced grouft. The large,
all-over lace collar has insets of Irish and fine edging.
—Sketched In Washington Shops.
BY MARGARET WARNER.
WHAT a lot of difference a
fresh collar makes. When
a woman changes her col
lar, it usually changes the
entire character of her dress. Va
riety is the very spice of collars, and
in numbers there is safety from being
a bore to yourself and to others as
well. A new collar always makes your
frock look up-to-the-minute, even if
it is not so new; and the spick-and
span effect of immaculate white at
the neck is always attractive.
Already new neckwear for the com
ing season is making its appearance, so
that you may freshen up your dark
or pastel sheers with something that
will retain its style value for a long
while. Collars seem to have a good
deal of softness, even in the tailored
types; satin is a high light among
the materials for early Pall wear; also
lace with fagoting, lace with strips of
sheer, and tiny braided edges are also
most attractive. Although the high,
round neck remains a favorite, there
•re lull varieties of necklines to suit
each individual need.
/~)NE shop is showing a group of
large collars that almost cover
the front of the frock, thus making
an ideal accessory to take on the vaca
tion, where all those little helps to
changes of costume are big assets.
They come in a number of types, all
of which make use of lace Insertion,
val of a more bold pattern in linen
lace, and the strips are Joined to
gether In various interesting ways.
White, ecru and pink are the colors
of these collars, and they are priced
tinder $2.
The same shop is showing belt and
triangle sets in satin with dots in
white, which are very smart and a
little newer than the crepe, although
all of these are excellent for making
quick changes In a white or plain
colored dress. Black and white satin
on a black sheer will “pep It up” in a
second. Another thing, belts ars'going
to be tremendously Important this
Fall, and they are coming in wider,
and in all the colors that you will
be wanting, with nice large buckles
covered writh the same soft kid as
the belt
* * * *
QNE shop has gone in for good
looking neckwear that is priced
at $1 in a big way. They have literally
—__
piles of boxes of lovely new neckwear
over 200 pieces, to be exact—of satin,
bengaline, sheer and lace collars at
this popular price. They are all so
fresh and so smart in design that you
will not be able to resist them. We
have sketched some of them for you,
but that could not begin to do them
justice.
If you like soft, fluffy bows in white
or delicate pink you may have your
choice in size and edge finish of the
ruffles, there are some made of fas
cinating new fine crocheted stitch in
white that are as delicate as butterfly
wings.
There are quantities of interesting
designs in white satin to become every
sort of neck, and the combination of
satin with bengaline is very good. too.
Satin-covered buttons or clear glass
and little bows make the finishing
touches. There are many jabot ef
fects and the backs of the collars are
smartly different.
The same shop reports that flowers
will continue to be worn this Fall
and they are already showing them in
patent leather in the darker colors of
purple and dubonnet. Clusters of
wood brown and soft rust-colored
flowers are shown in satin, also the
darker greens. Grape clusters will
be very important. In shining white
satin for evening they are lovely and
quite suitable for immediate wear.
COME of the shops are selling hand
kerchiefs at 18 cents apiece, or
six for *1. They are a very good
value for this price. Some of them
are all white with borders of cording
in a nice size and good quality of
French sheer. Others go in for mod
ern designs and bright peasant color
ing and combine block prints with
applique flower motifs in a new and
very decorative way. The pastel hand
kerchiefs with large petit point ini
tials done in French blue with tiny
pink roses are another good item,
and some covered with little rose
buds in the Dolly Varden manner will
appeal to those who are not so keen
about the ultra modern. The bright
awning-striped handkerchiefs with
plain dark appliqued centers at 50
cents are perfect for vacation sports
wear.

Vitality Has
Influence in
New Charm
Classic Ideals Offer
Only a Fraction of
Personality.
BY LOIS LEEDS.
COME ONE has said that a woman’s
^ personal attractiveness Is made
up of one-quarter beauty arts, one
quarter natural beauty and one-half
personality. Classic perfection of face
and figure Is not necessary to charm by
any means. Irregular features, tall
ness and shortness are not the insur
mountable barriers to beauty that
some girls imagine them to be. What
is essential is a certain poise and zest
in living which is magnetic.
It is this radiant quality that your
favorite movie star fosters most assidu
ously. She had natural good looks to
begin with and uses makeup skillfully
just like thousands of other girls, but
it is her vitality, her surplus physical
energy that has carried her to star
dom. The cultivation of this vitality,
this dynamic health, is just as worth
while for you as for her. There is, of
course, more to an attractive person
ality than mere animal spirits—there
is the emotional and mental side—but
for those who lack personal magnetism
the most practical approach to it is
through the physical.
A great many girls and women
never know real physical fitness. They
are not really sick, but they have
only enough physical energy to get
through their dally routine. They
don't carol in their bathtubs nor run
lightly upstairs. As children they were
full of life, but now they plod with
little enthusiasm for anything. These
are the people who complain that no
body notices them nor finds them at
tractive.
If you have allowed yourself to fall
Into this class and want to snap out
of It here’s how to begin. You can
bring out the latent charm of your
personality if you will plan systema
tically for It. Concentrate first on
building up abounding health and
vitality. You may have to neglect
some of your usual duties and give up
some long-cherished habits, but if
you will make the necessary sacrifices
you are sure to win out in the end.
Your renewed physical force will make
all your old tasks lighter and you will
have energy to spare for those stim
ulating. extra activities and hobbies
that you now lack the strength and
enthusiasm to pursue.
Begin by taking enough time for
sleep. If you are thin and below par
physically, be in bed for nine hours
out of each 24. This may Include
eight hours at night, with a one-hour
nap after luncheon. Sleep in a quiet,
dark and well ventilated room without
a roommate if possible.
You need to gather vitality from
sunshine and outdoor air, so plan to
spend at least two hours every day in
the open. Even if it rains, go out and
take a walk. Business girls can get in
their two hours out of doors by walk
ing part or all the way to and from
their work, spending half their lunch
hour outdoors and taking advantage
of the long Summer evenings.
You can't keep vital and full of
pep without regular exercise of some
kind to stir up your circulation. Five
minutes in the morning and 10 in the
evening should be given to exercises
for stretching and Umbering the mus
cles and massaging the internal
organs. Deep breathing will come
naturally with brisk exercise.
The right kind of diet is, of course,
essential. Eat Intelligently. Most of
us know better than we practice when
it comes to eating. Think of your
meals as means of building a radiant
personality. Don’t clog your system
with rich, indigestible foods. Don't let
an uneducated appetite ruin your
beauty. Learn to like spinach if you
haven't already done so.

Psychology
BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.
Personal Force.
'T'HE human body is a machine. Cer
tain forces keep this machine go
ing. Glands, muscles and a digestive
system are the better known ones. The
human mind is often called a machine.
Less is known about the forces that
keep it going. For these forces run
into the thousands.
Perhaps the most important of all
the mental forces is that which we
call memory. It sometimes becomes
inactive. When that happens, the
mind is gone. The personality that
formerly hooked up each yesterday
with each succeeding today loses its
identity, as well as its ability to adjust
the body to the common affairs of life.
Few of us take the time to study
that force called memory- It works
day and night. That’s why our dreams
are Important. No one can success
fully refute that we solve many of our
problems while we sleep. The memory
works among its contents, selecting
and rearranging them so as to get
ready for another day. In other words
we organise our wishes. These, in
eome mysterious way find expression
in all we do or try to do on the mor
row. When we stop dreaming, we
lose our memories. A great mental
force then begins to slow down and
life becomes an existence rather than
a challenger # our daily problems.

That “Feminine Touch”
Is Important Factor
In Home Making Tasks
To Save Wear and Tear on the Premises and
on the Nerves, Domestic Help
Is Indicated.
BY BETSY CASWELL.
THIS Is the moment when Sum
mer bachelors take precedence
over feminine kitchenette
housekeepers.
These poor helpless souls (that Is
what they call themselves, but I don’t
believe one word
of it!) find out
that the little
woman has not
been making a
"fuss about noth
ing,” and that
there is some
thing besides ease
and comfort in
running a house,
after all.
Dishes have a
dramatic way of
piling up; beds,
no matter how
carefully made,

inevitably get at sixes and sevens
three minutes after the occupant has
turned in: rolls of dust accumulate
with horrifying rapidity, and the gold
fish or canary birds left in the mas
culine hands invariably sicken and
die. As for the cherished plants and
window boxes-! When the lady
of the house return% all that is left
of her bright geraniums and petunias
are some withered stalks set in hard
baked clay.
* * *
'T'HERE Is no use, really, In expect
ing anytlfing different- The
much-overworked • feminine touch" is
definitely an important factor, and
no matter how scientifically a deserted
husband tackles the job of keeping
house, things always seem to go
wrong in a big way. Even the laundry
gets mixed up, and the collars come
back with a nice saw-tooth edge, the
socks are shrunk to infants’ size,
and no one has any record of that
last pair of white flannels that went
to be cleaned.
My advice to the abandoned gentle
men, in this case, is to invest in solid
comfort in the form of a competent
household assistant. The extra ex
penditure balances itself in the end
by saving on materials, general wear
and tear, and the employer’s nerves.
Chalk it up as "Summer expense" and
proceed to reap the benefits there
from.
A “scrub lady,” or chore man. will
come in for a few hours every morn
ing, and reduce chaos to order in a
remarkable manner. Dishes will be
washed, laundry will be sorted and
sent out, telephones will be answered,
beds will be made properly and floors
will be innocent of dust. Canary
birds and goldfish will prosper, and
the flowers will bloom in profusion.
(This is, of course, assuming that you
find a real gem. Sometimes the cure
doesn't work in all departments.)
* * * *
T TNDER this regime, breakfast
should be the only meal taken at
home. It does a husband good to
go out for dinner, anyway—he Is apt
to appreciate the benefits of home life
all the more; alto, It gives him a bet
ter understanding of the cost of food.
If kindred spirits do come in for a
bit of liquid refreshment before turn
ing in, the assistant will be on hand
in the morning to wash glasses and
empty the ashtrays.
And. from the woman’s point of
view, the house and all its equipment
will be In a lot better condition when
she returns home from the seashore
or mountains..

Dorothy Dix Says
Marriage Does Not Mean Woman Can
Cease Effort to Please.
A GIRL thinks about marrying'
pretty much as a man thinks ,
about retiring from business.
Getting to a place where one
has achieved one’s objective, where
one has secured a livelihood and
where one can sit down and rest and i
take things easily.
She thinks that she will no longer ]
have to wear herself out weaving -
spells about a man that she has al
ready caught; that she will not have
to primp and powder and paint and
doll herself up so that she will look
good to a mere husband: that she
will not have to flatter and cajole
him and labor overtime, as she did
in the days of courtship, to keep him
interested and amused. In short, she
looks upon marriage as sort of Ely
sium in which a woman can throw
all her tricks out of the window and
eat all she wants to and let out her
corset strings and discard all tact and
subtlety and just let Nature take its
course.
This mistaken theory concerning
the privileges and emoluments of
matrimony Is one of the main reasons
why there are so many wives beating
their breasts over husbands who are
lost, strayed or stolen, and why there
are so many divorces. For catching
a husband is easy enough. Holding
him is the thing that takes per
petual vigilance and keeping on the
job. And so those ladies who hold
to the faith that marriage gives them
the right to slump are headed for
much grief.
t * * * *
TT IS the greatest pity in the world
that women do not realize that
marriage should not be the end but
the beginning of a woman's attrac
tiveness, and that she should p>ut
forth a thousandfold more effort to
be fascinating to her husband than
she was to her suitor. For to lose
one’s sweetheart Is merely a tem
porary inconvenience, while to lose
a husband means a wrecked home,
a broken heart and half-orphaned
little children.
In all good truth, marriage Is the
turning point of every woman’s life.
It is then that she begins either to
peter out or to make something of
herself. Up to then she has had the
freshness and beauty and allure of
youth. She has had the animal gay
ety, the high spirits, the playfulness
that make all young things seem
sprightly nd Intelligent. Well, these
charms will soon go, and then a wife
has to decide what sort of show she
Is going to put on for her husband
for the balance of their lives, whether
she will give a performance that will
keep him giving her the glad hand or
one that he will run out on.
¥ ¥ ¥ ¥
/~vp COURSE, every woman to her
^ senses knows that by no miracle
can she keep herself always young
and beautiful, no matter how many
facials and permanents she has, but
every woman can keep herself easy
on the eyes if she is well dressed and
well groomed. Some wit has said
that the secret of the sirens’ power
was that they spent their private
lives in scrubbing their elbows, and
certainly no wonAn lacks charm
whose personal appearance is im
maculate. The homely women are
the slpyens yjhose hair is never
combedT whose frocks never fit, and
•
who look as if they need to be run
through the laundry.
Every woman when she gets married
decides for herself whether she is
going to degenerate into a bore, or
keep herself interesting. She decides
whether her husband will get tired
of her and lose his taste for her or
not. There are plenty of women who,
as soon as they are married, give up
whatever accomplishments they have
had. They never touch the piano
again or sing any more. They never
read a new book or even the news
papers. They give up their clubs and
drop out of society. They never have
a new thought or a fresh idea and
they get as dull as dish water.
***
TT IS no wonder that the wives who
make no effort to keep up with
their husbands mentally and socially
and who never try to be bright and
entertaining and amusing and sym
pathetic drive their husbands to other
women lor companionship. The wives
who pal with their husbands, who are
always ready to grab their hats and
go when their husbands want to step
out, who are good listeners and who
always have something interesting to
talk about, never have to complain
that they are left to spend l&nely eve
nings at home while husband diverts
himself elsewhere.
And women decide when they marry
what kind of wives they are going to
be; whether they are going to be help
mates or parasites; whether they are
going to be peevish and fretful and
complaining or good sports; whether
they are going to take matrimony
on the chin or go down before the
first blow.
For marriage isn’t the end of things
to a woman. It is just the beginning,
where she starts out to make what
she will of it. And there is no place
in it where she can sit down and fold
her hands and take it easily.

T OUD yells and screeches echoed
down the beach. Hettle looked
up from the castle she was building
and said, • Margie’s bein’ bad.”
“Why, I wonder?”
“I don’t know. Guess ’cause she
wants to.”
Margie's screams grew louder and
people looked In her direction. “Hush.
Margie, hush! Everybody's looking
at you.”
“I don’t care. I don't care. Let
me go. Let me go. I wanna go-o-o!”
Norah set her jaw grimly, tight
ened her hold on Margie’s arm and
hustled her toward the cottage. Mrs.
Witherby was at the door to meet
them. “What is it? Anything hap
pened? Is she hurt? Margie, stop
yelling!”
“Nothing In this world the matter
with her, madam. She just up and
yelled and danced and behaved that
ill I brought her in before she dis
graced herself forever.”
Margie, angry to the roots of her
hair, stamped and screeched. Mother
put her fingers in her ears and Norah
shook her sharply. “Stop it! You
bad girl, you.”
Grandma came downstairs, gave
one look, swept Marjorie into the
house and up the stairs without a
word. The howls died almost in
stantly. No sound came from the 1
upper regions and mother sighed in
relief. "Nothing happened to her, |
Norah? You’re sure?"
“Certain, madam. Just the badness
In her. That’s everything that's the
matter.”
After a time grandma came down
the stairs leading a lovely little girl
by the hand. This little girl was I

with a blue line at the ankle.
"We're going to call on Evelyn and
her mother. We will be home for
tea, please," said grandma, with a
touch of dignity and formality that
was charming.
After bedtime, when Margie was
asleep and the two ladies rocked on
the p<jrch, grandma said: "I put
that dress Margie had on this morn
ing in the waste bag. It was injr
possible.”
"Her dress? I didn’t notice. Was
it soiled, or torn, or wha^?”
"It was impossible. Orange and
red and green stripes, and an orange
red hat. She looked like an awning
out for a gallop with the wind. No
wonder she had a temper spell. Who
in the world bought the thing in
the first place?”
"Katherine made it for her birth
day. I thought it very gay for the
beach. You think it was-”
"Impossible. It made her feel loud
and vulgar and rebellious. The child
takes the mood of her dress quickly.

BY BARBARA BELL.
OT Summer afternoons make
special demands on the ward
robe of the average woman. ■
There must be dresses that
are not too elaborate nor too fussy ,
in detail to make her appear at her
best. But she should have things that
are soft and gracious in line and are
quite different from the sports dresses,
in which she spends most of her days.
This season the gracious afternoon
frock is more apparent, where smart
women gather, than in many sea
sons passed. There is a tendency
towards the wearing of dressier cos
tumes for leisure hours, which is wel
comed by women who tire of the sim
ple, straight-lined frock, which had
become almost a uniform in years
gone by.
Capes are important in the mode.
They appear on every sort of dress
and are particularly at home in the
afternoon dress of sheer fabric. Fur
thermore. they are unusually becom- j
ing to the older woman, for they
tend to make hips slim, in contrast,
and as there is no necessity for sleeves
when they are employed there is the
advantage of coolness and comfort.
The cape in today's illustration reaches
almost to the waist and quite to the
elbows and Is edged with a wide band
of net or any transparent material.;
It crosses, surplice-fashion, in the
front, and is adorned with two huge
flowers. The skirt has inserts at the
sides, starting at the knees or there
abouts, the flaring line at the bot
tom of the skirt being in harmony
with the wide cape and most becoming
to the woman of mature figure.
Sheer materials are much used for
afternoon. Chiffon, of course, is a
Summer favorite, and marquisette is
a newcomer to the mode, and is ex
tremely effective. Cotton voile is
The Old Gardener Says:
The often-repeated question,
“Why do my wistarias fall to
bloom?” is difficult to answer.
These plants often come Into
bloom suddenly after many years.
Others are permanently barren
and might as well be ripped out.
They are usually plants grown
from seed. Grafted plants should
always be demanded, for they
usually bloom when only 3 feet
high. They may cost a little
more than kinds grown from seed
but are worth the difference.
Much can be done to make wis
tarias bloom better by cutting the
long straggly canes back to within
4 feet of the old wood. August is
the time to do this work. New
spurs will be developed and flow
