Main’ Women Will Refuse to (lire I p the Long I’opnlar Crochet. In neckwear Irish crochet lias hail an extremely ioiig run of favor, anil niaio women will refuse to give il up, hut point tie Venise is a. serious rival to the lighter lace this season. It will never become as popular ns the Irish laees, the ehlef reason being that to the ordinary person the Imitation does not dllTer from the real, while it would lie imposlble not to distinguish between the machine-made Irish and the genu ine hand-made. Point de Vemse, be ing ratiier heavy, lacks the daintiness one wishes to combine in neck dress ing. In styles there seem to he just two extremes—the low turned down Dutch collar and the very high stock. In the case of the neck being only of medium length, the turned down col lar had better lie selected if it is de sired to appear up-to-date and at the same time feel comfortable. The newest in neckwear to he worn with the tailored suit is a double tali, tiie upper one only an Inch or so shorter than the under one. The lower edge is square cut and all edge? are finished with a narrow lace, cither crochet or point de Venise. The ma terial is handkerchief linen, and some times linen lawn. These tabs are worn w ith an embroidered turnover collar ! or the high stock. For street wear as a finish to the neck of a dress the Dutch collar is preferred. These larger collars are made entirely of 1 Irish lace, of lace and lawn combined 1 and of lingerie. The last are very ! pretty, and will be worn a good deal this season on house* frocks. A lovely collar which could Up made In any girl possessing deft Ungers Is cut In deep Vandyke points edged with 1 a narrow Valenciennes following the line of the lace frill. Above is a row , of insertion points, and then tiny sin- j gle blossoms are embroidered a little apart on all the plain surface of the collar. The tab or small jabot Is made | from two points, one overlying the | other and decorated 'v match the col- j lar The points are folded in fan fashion. A very dainty Handkerchief, t folded corner to corner and then cut through diagonally, is a suggestion for ! the jabot should one wish to save I work. Another fashionable collar that could tie made in less time and require less skill than the lingerie is the plain j turned down Dutch collar of lawn, I pique or Persian cut on the Idaa. As this can be bought by the yard ready \ for use. there need lie no waste, and j one can also buy a different color or ) design for >«ih collar, without extra) expense. i Seta of turned down collars and cuffs are very attractive and w ill do much toward brightening up a dull colored home diess or freshening the tailored suit. The newest cuff Is almost straight and band-like and is not quite so deep ns the cuffs worn last year. 1 Another new feature is the trimming on both edges. Sometimes three edges , are trimmed, as is the case of those buttoning about the arm. The shape j resembles the cuffs worn by a widow, but are trimmed. l,awn edged with) point de VenUe and showing a group of tiny tucks above are very pretty ' and durable. Very few knife-pleated frillings art. j seen this searon, and the same may ; be said of the long jabots. All exam- ' pie of the latter which was new waa • made front four pointed taba of lawn : edged with lace overlapping each other, caught down to a strip of lace (band ing i about an inch and a half wide.

A bachelor maid of large income complained of being lonely "Why don't you have visitors stay ing in the house more often?" itiquir e.t the older woman to whom the re mark was made. "Because they wear me to the hone." declared the bachelor maid My guests never seem to let me alone Do yours tag you around ev ery minute? My last one this week left yesterday, and 1 sang with joy at her departure. ".She never seemed to be tired, and i gather that to*he alone a nimiijal was her horror. She never went to her room to He down, and certainly in the week she was in the house she diil hot write a note except once at my desk in the library. There was a desk, fully equipped, in her own room, and when she told me she had a note to write 1 could have leaped for Joy. for I thought I would be to. myself for a short time. Not so. She said if I didn't mind she would use the library desk. 1 suggested she would find that In her own room quite comfortable, but she said she would rather stay with me. "She staye,) that lime, hut never again shall she be a house guest un der my roof. Most of my guests do the same, i hardly have time to give orders to the housekeeper, and as for half an hour In which to rest. I never have it; I'll give luncheons and din ners hereafter, but I'll have no one staying in the house.’* The plaint of the bachelor girl has so much reason that guests who wish to be popular should bear It In mind. Kw ry hostess requires time to herself. and rmirp than •» vnnat .i,.aa .... part of the hostess’ privacy must be consumed in giving orders and keep ing her house running. Therefore, while a guest rests for half an hour, the time may he occupied In domes tic business by the entertainer, who then would like another half hour In which to read or do nothing. There s no question but that guests who spend all the time with their hos tesses are Just as unpopular and a treater strain than those who swing to the other extreme and are all the tpare time In their own room. A visitor can always get away by , terse I f by declaring that she is tired that she wishes to write letters, t'hange of air makes an excellent •xcuse for being sleepy, and unless a yap occupies all of an afternoon the mates* "ill not feel herself neglected, dot. if a guest hears in mind that a losless has domestic afTairs and her >ersonal correspondence to look after, iho will find ways oi making spare : im« for her friend.

A remarkable cano of survival of oM English customs am one: the Kentucky mountaineers was discovered In l&Tin by I'rof. Nathaniel S. Shaler. of Har vard on the borders of Virginia and Kentucky. There in a secluded valley he found men hunting squirrels and rabbits with old English short bows “These were not the contrivance of boy a or of to-day. but were made and strung and the arrows hefted in the ancient manner. The men, some < f them old. were admirably skilled . n their us**; they assured me that like* their fathers before them they had ev er used the bow anil arrow for small game, reserving the costly ammunition • *f the* rifle for deer and bear " I II*- Mother Who (jets \<> Letter. Thousands of sons and daughters there are who are away from home living their own lives. Some are earn ing their own living: some are mar ried; ail are busy with their own con cerns. And. unconsciously, they lia\e forgotten their mothers At least their mothers thmk so, and how ran they think otherwise’ For their children do not write. The mother looks every day for a letter, but the postman's hand or the post-box in the country store is full of other things The mother says nothing, for alienee is the badge of the suffering mother; but she unconsciously thinks back over twenty years and more of pain and care and self-sacrifice, when there were nights without Bleep, and weeks • of nursing, when social pleasures had ! to-be put aside for the children's sake ' and n hundred economies had to b, ! practiced that the children might !># clothed anti educated, when her whole life was devoted to the ,-htl drop And the alien c is pretty hard to bear. Of course the mother makes allow ; ance: a mother alvvajs dots. "Th* children forget." she says “Their i lives are full, and they do tet think ! how small and empty mine is." And she thinks t-> herself that some day i their children, when they have chil dren who hav e left them, will und. r i stand. Mothers are so patient' All the same, a letter is so small a thing. True, that is why it does not get written.
