POPULAR NECKLINE TREATMENTS STRESS UNUSUAL SCARF COLLARS Just how good at Gaming are Barnwell women and girls?

S. De partment of Agriculture, especially in canring meats. Not only does this method of canning save time and fuel -ard assure absolutely, sterility and preservation, but ^ food canred under “"pressure retains all its natural flavor and texture, which are vital points in ary canring contest.” That the judging may be thoroughly impartial and the display of canned samples absolutely uniform, contest ants are required to submit their er^ tries in stardard glass jars 6f the quart size. 'All contestants will be furnished with* one Ball Mason and carton, for sending in a canned article, but those making entries in more than one division are expected to supply their own jars and shippirg cartons. The sample jar and prize entry labels for use m submiting entries may be secured without cost by communicat ing with the headquarters at the Nat Ural Canning Contest, 925 S. Ho man Ave.. Chicago, Illinois. • r It requires the genius of an arith metician to keep tab on the multi plicity capelets, scarfs and neck line drapes which so enhance modern dress. Since the majority of necklines are finished off with beguiling, novel, flut tering floating effects. It most assur edly behooves the seeker of things fashionable, to make a study of the cunning fantasies which now play such a picturesque role in concealing yet revealing unsleeved arms. Graceful scarf collars like the one 1l the picture Interpret a most popu lar neckline treatment. These oblong or panel-shaped lengths of fabric are ‘manipulated In countless ways. If the material be very sneer then are they sure to fall into lines of alluring grace, which encourages the designer to take countless liberties in adjusting them. One pretty arrangement Is to bring the long scarf ends to the back where they are tied together or perhaps caught with a buckle or in some man ner are Ingeniously held In position. Quite clever Is the thought of ex tending a single long streamer over one arm, the opposite end being fitted in to a pokelike formation. Considerable attention is being given to neckline treatments In fashions for fall. It Is said that lingerie touches on silk, wool and velvet frocks will be featured, and that clever ideas will be exploited, such as deep capes of lace, elaborate jabot collars and other fetching conceits. Color contrasts, too. will be worked out for fall In these scarf and capelet details. The model in tht picture Is typical of modes “on the way.** This pretty sleeveless frock is fashioned of madonna blue flat crepe. The scarf- collar Is of eggshell tinted crepe edged with the blue. For evening lovely scarf-yokes and collars are of silk net or tulle, which glitter with elaborate sequin embrold- erings together with fine metal thread stltchery. JULIA BOTTOM LET. (£. lltt. Wasters N tv* pa par Union.) Have you a little capelet In your home? Those wordsthat end in “lef 1. are genernTly so nice—for instance, an omelet or a violet—and both of those, by the way, wear ex- tremely fashion able colors. Of course, a capelet la a little cape, afifi it grew In the fashion designers* jgjnjs quite direct ly from the hand- Grace J. Austin, kerchief s^c a r^ which proved so astonishingly becom ing. Though the cowboys of the plains had known long before “dude- ranches” were Invented that a knotted red handkerchief about the neck was a ravlshingly beautiful adorning, as well as a practical one. So the little cape or the attached scarf forms a feature of many, and many a costume and coot of this year. Sometimes these little capes are so de tachable that they become a separate small wrap to be worn when only a light protection is needed. Ah, shades of the great-grandmothers! Dame Fashion could bring out a brace of family albums and show dear old la dies among the portraits, wearing capelets! There Is one glorious thing about all this talk of “sun-tan.” The genu ine article Is one of the finest badges of health. No one can enln a coot of tan without absorbing an amount of those most Invigorating sun rays, which have other functions as well as browning the skin. Dams Fashion well remembers the weird tales of girls, In her childhood and earlier, who ate slate pencils, chalk, vinegar, and no one knows what all, In order to look lily-pale and fragile. So now It Is quite the part of wisdom to give hearty ap- . pi a use to every style suggestion which brings that popular sun tan Into the bargain. The little close hats which are so popular ought to help on the good work of sun-tanning. There was a striking sentence spoken lately In New York In regard to mllllnerj^ “Straw hat* are impressive this yesr not so much In point of number but because of the women choosing them.” If we are still clinging to felt exclu sively—and It Is certainly s good hat anchors ire—that sentence may send us to join* the “Impresslvs" band of women wearing straw. Jost nost to going to • wedding, one of the nicest things hi the world Is to drop Into a friend** house after • wedding Is over, and bear all the Intereating partlcuhin, pensively eat a piece of wedding cake and treasure a bridal rose bud. Dame Fashion did this the other day, and one of the re marks she saved for her column was, “Though she was junt at lovely aa she could be to her white silk dress and veil, when »he came down to go away, all in Tan,'with everything an exact match, except Just a corsage of sweet pest for contrast, we consid ered the thought for a time that she was prettier still. 1 * And the consolation for a great many women will be that though their days of bridal veil and shower bou quets of lilies of the valley may be behind them, there la still plenty of opportunity for them to plan a com plete ensemble In tan, which might prove to be that secret goal of every woman—“the most becoming gown you ever owned.** ((c). 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) ■ <» Raise More Turkeys A sufficient number of turkeys were raised last year by poultry men to convince others that turkeys are prof itable. Because of having reached fhla conclusion n large number of farmers and poultry men will no doubt be add ed to the ranks of turkey breeders during the coming year. For the farm era who buy a few turkey bens for breeding purposes there are a num ber of pointers which should be kept In mind. *. ^ HEAD this - Lifetime Guarantee P fy ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentinel.

Notsr the word “gradually” for it Is a slow process, this of reviving Interest in trimmed millinery. After the despotic and long-continued reign ot the “Tricky” little un trimmed felt. It Is bound to take time for women to come out from under Its sway. Among midsummer collections there la considerable reaction of the “eter nal feminine” to the call of lace, rib bon and flower adornment. Especial ly Is lace lending Its enchantment to current bat fashions. Considering that this Is a “lace season” If could not be otherwise that creators of the hat- beautiful should Incorporate lace in to Its making. In many Instances so adroitly does the modiste Introduce lace. It become** a very part of the bat rather than giving the appearance of applied trim ming. One sees this to a fascinating degree In colored felts which have * • Read the advertisements on- this page.

Some times the lace Is drawn taut all over the top of the hat, or perhaps just the crown la covered, or the brim. Often the brim of a large picture shape la lined with lace.
