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
\amb¢...»- -

=._v
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

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
