First form of neck decorations—Imitation of Hare collar. From the London Globe: It is a natural step forward toward the latest varieties of the turned-down collar. It is true that the early collar was not of linen or other fabric, but was made of cloth or coarse stable, the hide of the wild animal which was the primitive form of the collar of the wild beast which it was a credit to be wearing. And it is a curious thing that the collar should have gone forward part of the way in this development before the band, with the band of grass or of bark which formed the collar at the waist and long before the fingers began to be used for decorating or adorning the neck that led the African delight in feathers, all other sorts of articles for deck out for deck himself with the paper collar of the wandering white man. And the more important a man became the greater was the variety of articles worn. As in the Iroquois of America, who became as swathed as Beaumont's hero, with his gold collar, he was just as dignified. The Greeks were the curious gap in the development, for they were not habitual collar wearers, but that may have been mainly a good reason about the Mediterranean, where it is hot. The Romans, too, seem not to have been collar wearers, yet a curious thing to do, a habit to be left to the Northern tribes of Celts and Babylonians. Greeks and Romans wore the brooch or fibula, which was the barbarian would call be worn in front of the neck, and that is the result here. The white or linen collar is quite a comparatively modern affair, its age daily in the middle ages in the form of the rolled-up collar of linen, the collars of rich material such as the royal personages took. It reached its height in Elizabethan times and sank down into the lace collar of the Cavalier, the plain, severe collar of the Puritan. In Georgian days the collar was merged in the neck cloth, to come to the front again in Byron's time, when the poet wore the turned-down collar, with its folds open of a lawn collar, with its folds open fields of the romantic shirt, and from that time old gentlemen even in the 'fifties wore a low turnover collar of some soft material, with a cravat wound all around collar, just like that worn by Mr. Jourdain in the "similarity." Even in the '70s there was a painfully obvious collar which survived for some reason or another was called "Shakespeare," perhaps from a linen draper's idea that one poet was inspired enough to dress like the other. The same sort of exaggerated supreme, with little eccentricity, the turned down collar with its curly fronts, thought of late it has been threatened by the double wing, which is now almost the "Hobby Owen" of the "Barnard." FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. From the Chicago Journal: As he entered the restaurant the cut of his clothes betrayed him as a member of the sporting fraternity. Choosing a chair at the first vacant table, he picked up the bill of fare and looked at it with a critical frown, and finally beckoned to the [illegible] waiter. "What's the matter? What's the matter?" said the waiter, rushing to the table. "Can you a dollar I can swim from one oyster?" he asked. CURLY'S PHILOSOPHY. "Youngsters are pretty philosophical," remarked Curly. "Maybe, if they have good speaking would, besides, it makes me so mad I can't sleep, and so what's the use of it?" ## Peripheral Items - **Pianola Pianos advertisement** (Column 4, large display): Advertisement for Montana Music Co., 119 North Main St., Butte.
