A BUSINESS woMAx's DRESS.

Much has been siid la:cly on the
subject of business woman's dress.
Pockets are IN absolute necessity, while
the dress must be neat in appearance
and simple in its design. For these
busy women who must always have
their tools az well as their wits about
them, a wcll-known dress maker has
recently designed costume which i,-a
marvel Of taste and utility combined.
1t has no loss than six pockets, aud
these arc arranged in the most con-
vcnicnt manner. Quo is u little vest

memorandum book and pencil.
Handsome revcrs pockets arc on tho
hips, ornamented with two lag. but.
tons, and suitable for purse, keys, and
pcnknifc. A very clever little device
is the insertion of tiny pockets on the
sleeve just large enough for elevated
railroad tickets or loose change. Tncy
have tiny lapcls, aud are placed Just
above tho cuff on the upper side Of the
sleeve. The usual p -ckct is placed in
the skirt for the hand ke:chief, etc,
and completes the half dozen. Small,
fiat buttons which fasten the dress arc
concealed by wide rcyers. which,
starting from tho right shoulder, taper
and end at the waist line. Tho ma
