THE FASHIONABLE COLLAR.
There are some amazing things zi-
Inong the new summer neckwear-de- lectablefenough but amazing for all that and radically new. They suggest awful opportunities for caricature when worn by the wrong woman will be charming to them--and there you are! Fashion makers cannot be held responsible for every shopper's faults of taste.-
The curious thing about many of
these newest collars is their Brobdig- nagian character. They are not mere- ly big. They are enormous, and whe- ther their material soars upward or droops downward it spurns accustom- ed limitations.
Thee is, for instance, one collar of
sheer organdy or of lown which rises high and close around the throat, has big tumdown ears at the sides and a flat little capelike extension round- ing up to the collar base in front, but lying down over shoulders and around thaback. Wide tatfeta ribbon is
drawn-around the collar, stockwise, ‘
and tied in a bow at the back, the width of the ribbon and its crispness making the two short loops of this bow very imposing--imposing to the point of almost obliterating the back of the coiffure. Two ends of the rib- bon fall almost to the waist line.
And then there is the cavalier col-
lar, whose flat cape quite hides the shoulders and falls low in front and back, while over this cape falls a full plaiting of the argandy wider at back than at front and standing out from the throat. This plaiting is mounted on a little sloping band toward the back, so that it rises slightly against the nape of the neck, while turning away from the base of the throat in front.
The Puritan collar appears la all
degrees of size, some of the organdy models being made double, one layer lying smoothly over,the other and the points of the lower one reaching al- most to the waist line in front.
A very deep plaitcd frill falling from
the throat base quite to the shoulder
points and correspondingly low '_all
. __ _
around is another ncwcoxner, as is the perfectly ilat collar on the same lines, the two edges me-:ting all the way up the front instead of separat- ing in points, as do the fronts of the collar more generally accepted as Pur- itar..
Modes are xnnusing phenomena.
(July ft short time ago an American journal embarked upon un American fashions campaign exploited very en- thusiastically collars of the Puritan, Quaker and cavalier types, but pro- duced not a ripple upon the fashion current. Now suddenly. whether be- cause cleverly launclietl or uuthora- tivcly sponsored or because the time is ripe, we have an amlanche of such collars,and they are accepted with en- thusiasm.
The cape form collar, rising only to
the base of the throat all around, is vastly trying to most women-to all save those who have lovely and youth- ful throats-but the deep Puritan cape, sloping downward in front and falling in two points, is more becoming and has a fetching demureness about it,
, ._ _ ,_ , JP though it is likely to be overdone in the form in which it is especially pop- ular-the utterly uutrimmed collar of organdy.
The deep pointed fronts of this same
flat collar are in some instances com- bined with a very deep square back covering the entire bodice back and reaching down to the waist line.
Another big collar has large plaited
squares falling both in front and in back from a rolling collar that opens slightly low in front. , A comparatively narrow Puritan collar mounted on a high band, so that it comes high on the neck, turn- ing down with a flare all around, the two edges meeting in front, is anoth- er expression of this Colonial period tendency, but this collar thickens the neck most unbecomingly and is for the few.

SPIES WITH PIG-EONS
CAUGHT IN BRITAIN
An interesting and hitherto unpub-
lished story ot' spy detection in the old land is contained in a letter re- ceived by a London lady from a friend in England.
The letter says in part: “I am going to tell you of one of
the things that don't get into the papers. This is quite true, and hap- pened to a cousin of a lady I know slightly. This lady was a few weeks ago coming from Bath to London. She got into a carriage of a train in which were two men already seated. When the train started she saw that these men were very German looking and spoke in a guttural way. So feeling disgusted and not wishing to get into conversation with them, she took up her book and. leaning back in her corner pretended to go to sleep.
“After a while, the men, feeling
sure she was asleep, took a basket from under the seat and opened it.
Out of a corner of her eye she watch- ed. She saw them let a couple oi' pigeons from the window! Carriers, of course! And with a message!
“She of course did not dare to speak
but instead of coming on to London, she got out at Reading, a large place midway and notiiled immediately the clearly written down the number ot' the carriage without beeing seen. This she gave to the police, with the result that upon the arrival of the train in London the police from Scot- lanl Yard were awaiting the two men who were promptly arrested.
“The lady had given her name and
address, and thought the matter iin- ished. She did not know that the po- lice had telephoned through to have
the men stopped, but about a week‘
after she received a letter from the War Ofilce, thanking her for her pres- ence of mind and promptitude, and inclosing a check for £120, and saying that the men were two most danger- ous spies, and the police had been on their track for some time. Wasu't that splendid?"
IS THE KAISER POPULAR?
The Bulletin des Armees has pub-
lished the impressions of a Swiss ot- iicer newly returned from Germany. At Bedlin he went to a “cinema” show largely frequented by soldiers. A illm representing the Emperor was eceiv- ed in silence and indifference. An- other film representlng the Austrian Heir-Presumptive Archduke Charles Francis Joseph provoked sneering laughter and disrespectful remarks. This seemed surprising to the Swiss oiilcer, who remembered that a few months ago such films had been frantically cheered. ln the streets of Berlin nearly every wounded soldier- and they were numerous-appeared to be decorated with the lron Cross, and the Swiss oiiicer perhaps somewhat maliciously (says the Newcasth Chronicle), adds that the wounded heroes- particularly the otllcers seemed to exaggerate their-limping walk in order to make themselves "ln- creasingly interesting." -

n Island n°tFor the F t 1
It has been many times pointed out that out of the many men whom we have sent to the great war, there is not a single
company or battery of any kind which Prince Edward Island can point to with pride and say that it is a battery, or company, which
represents the Province, and to whom we en
trust our honor.
Again recruiting has not been as satisfactory as could be wished. Many give as a reason, the fact that men do not wish to
enlist unless they can go with their own officers, and with their own chums.
Six Months to Train

Bot-ph ‘These ,Conditions are
Now ,Changed by
The fact that six qualified artillery ofiiccrs, most of thcm of many
years’ experience, have volunteered to go to thc front as oiliccrs of
A Heavy Artillery Battery from Prince Edward Island
Their 'names will be announced in due time.
We are now to recruit this battery tp full strength*of two hundred
men, to be trained and fitted.
Now then, MEN OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, it is up to
you. These officers are not asking you to go to the front but they arc asking you to come to the front with them. Every man who knows his duty to Prince Edward Island will do so. Every woman on Prmce Edward Island should encourage her men to go, be they husband or son, and not hold them back. .
»
Men it is Your Plain Every Day Duty
To enlist in this battery, to protect our great Empire, to protect
our own little Island, :md above all to avenge the thousands of women and little children, who have not been killed, but ruthlessly murdered by one common enemy. . _
We Want These Men Quick
Because if we do not complete this battery early in July we must
abandon it, and that would be an everlasting disgrace to the men of Prince Edward Island. If you will come, send your name, age, arhlress and cxpcricncc (if any) in AT ONCE. You have been putting this decision oil from day to day for ten months. Do not wait a day longer-you arc needed now. The formation of this battery to re- present Prince Edward Island depends upon you. We want exper- icnccd men, if possible, but experience is not necessary.
This Battery has been authorized by the Department of Li. Col' A’ G. Peake,
a
Militia. - Recruiting is now going on, and rill will start within few days. Pay to -start on ,date of examination.
‘ 'tidy volunteered, and -17 as officers. I
86 men have Charlottetown
In artillery, cvcry man must know his work well. To make a
battery fit and rcady, at least six mouths’ training must bc gone through.
This gives every man in the battery a chance to work to the top; to make friends and chums of every other man; in fact, to ninkc the battery
one large family; in which cvcry member will iight to the last gasp
for every other member. .

When Peace Comes _
How shall it be recorded of us on that day; that wc took our part
in thc common struggle and earned our share in the common triumph;
or that we sncakcd through it in the shelter of the dead; that we crawled
away from thc danger without sharing in it, to the peace bought at so
greatapricc? 1 W _, Y i.
