number Of occupations open to women has IN
creased greatly during the last two decades
but still the list, for many reasons, is much
more restricted than the list of callings Tor
men.
The ordinary field is overcrowded; hundreds
Of teachers, bookkeepers, stenographers and
clerks of all descriptions jostle each other IN
the scramble for vacant place.
It is of the extraordinary field the writer

individuals slip by accident, and almost UNI
consciously, and which they fit to nicely

The small round hats resemble, in some
cases, the top of a round box, smothered in
flowers. Others are very large, yelled in
tulle, with all colors of roses apparently
tossed on; and again, others are entirely Of
sem-transparent colored tulle or white lisse,
with leaves lavishly adjusted. In the cut is
illustrated large hat of lace straw, bordered
with brim of solid straw, which is covered
with putiings of cream net and garlands Of
tinted leaves and large roses, over which
hover butterflies suspended at the top Of a
long pin. The bows are in pale lemon and
Nile green velvet; ruching Of cream net
surrounds the brim, which is filed in under
the center with rosettes of baby ribbon.
With many of the hats plain tulle wells are
worn. These are sufficiently long to cross at
the back and tie in a bow under the chin.
Black lace bonnets are much the fashion.
A wreath of crevette colored roses had been
combined with an outstanding bow Of black
