ing tone of the perfectly finished landscape.
I grew sometimes almost to long for some
thing half finished that one might watch, as
we do at home, the progress of the world.
The finished look of everything wearied me
occasionally. The hills, so smooth and
polished, the pomaded and well-combed
lawns, awoke in me wish to see baby
cyclone of our territories hustling through
the air on its progress toward some of the
and where generations had pruned and
clipped and moved. I longed for the wand
of the magician to transfer one of the wild
exultant dalles of the Columbia or q Sec
tion of the bad lands of Dakota that
out-Dore Dore in their weird uncanny
shapes.
But while these revolutionary sentiments
lay under conventional exterior, the
peaceful sheep browsed on in much the
same place; either remaining there from
preconcerted action on the part of the tim
orous creatures who were willing to con-
tribute themselves to the scene, or because
of invisible lettering.
IT we Americans seem to be lacking In
the bump of veneration,i it is only in speech,
not in deed. I visited charming house
hold in Kensington one day, where the young
people we're wishing to do us honor. They
lived in London and enjoyed it, but they
still spoke the language Of the United
States and had not lost the national capacity
for enthusiasm The house they rented was
full of heirlooms and the book-shelves and
cupboards and closets stuffed with books, old
and choice and many of them presentation
copies. On the fly leaf was often the auto
graph of some distinguished person that
would fetch guineas at sale.
There seemed to have been no effort on
the part of the house-owner-who, it goes
without saying, was person of distinction
to preserve or even put away these price,
less volumes. Over the tea table the viva
cious American girl gave us little running
account of some of these treasures
"What do you think we have unearthed
now," she said, 'from away back in q closet

ing less than the Queens book, and on the
fy-leaf written, albert wished it ,"
There was not trace Of awe in her tone,
only girls happy laughter; "and you can't
imagine what a state we are in to decide
what he wished"
1t was the Queens presentation copy to
their landlord. ''My brother and I feel so
injured because she is so brief" she went
on. "We dispute whether Albert wished
her to write the book, or to give it to this
especial friend, or what -
There was not shade Of difference in her
tone in speaking of the Queen from that she
would have used in speaking of any other

ing landladies, those three loyal, high-bred
English women, whose tones sank to a sub
dued hush when Victoria's name was ut

to their sovereign as if she was made of
just such clay as we are!

and slides up and down over the close

the elbow. There is a fancy for bordering
edges with waved lines. This is given
character by being turned up on the out
side as facing, leaving the edge like

cord of velvet, as thick as finger, and a
parallel cord may be sewed on an inch or
so from the first one. Such q trimming

ably as cosmopolitan a set of working
women to-day as can be found in any quar-
ter of the globe drawing breath and salaries
You will find Western woman often work
ing for less than she is worth. Sometimes
it is because she really doesn't know what
she's worth, and sometimes because
she doesn't care what she's worth. Not
so with the Eastern girl. To set
tie business matter with her is quite an
other thing. She seems to regard the money
part of it as an incident, an afterthought.
She insists in treating it with fine con-
tempt, and speaks of it as Compensation,
until man feels that he has been guilty of
indelcacy in me tioning it. And it isn't
affectation so much as kind of inbred non-
sense that business life hasn't taken out of
her yet.
But the Southern woman, bless you
there isn't bit of nonsense about her.
She's the farthest-seeing, the shrewdest, the
best matched to man in business matters
of any woman you can find. With
the offer off her services, comes the
statement of the sum OF money she expects
for it. While the employer haws and
hedges-as he is sure to do-she huns
"Dixie" and looks out of the window
She knows he'll take her terms and she
means to give him full return for what
ranged, she insists on having a good stout
contract made. Then she goes to work,
with calm heart. It is by no
means to be inferred from this that the
Southern woman is grasping creature.
Not in the least; she's generous to fault in
the use Of her money. The strangest part
of it all is, that this unusual business in
stinct should be found embedded in such
sentiment as you find in the Southern wo-
man. The Western woman isn't senti-
mental at all; the Eastern woman is only
contemplative and reflective, the Southern
woman with all her experience and shrewd-
ness in money matters hasn't lost bit of
the deliciously romantic charm that charac-
terized her before the war. She works
royalty, but she never for an instant relin-
quishes her belief that no woman ought to
work. She still looks up to man as god
like and superior creature and she never &C.
cepts the fact that woman should ride in
anything but her own carriage, go out after
dark without an escort, or open the door for
herself.
And it's good belief 1t isn't comforta-
Bile tor her always, because she finds things
so at variance with it, but its good for men
to feel that somebody still insists upon and
expects from them all things that are gen.
tie and unselfsh. HELEN WATTERSoN.

Of riches fortunately can leave carte blanche
with the measure at the gownmaker's. The
woman with an absorbing pursuit and a
limited purse cannot settle the matter SO
easily.
The dress problem that confronts the pro-
fessional woman-the teacher, writer, ply
sician-is vexing one. Some busy women
whom I know have compressed their dress
making satisfactorily into two brief seasons
year. At these times they overhaul the
old wardrobe, remodel everything that can
be remodeled, add two or three new gar
ments and put the whole in complete order.
What a Busy Woman Must Have.
Such a woman getting up her winter ward
robe wants, We will say, gown for the
office, one for church, dinner and evening
gown. She has some old things to fix over,
and new one, or two, to add, and she wants
them all to be smart: but with a very moder-
ate outlay of money. She is advised that
model for a business gown given out bv an
exclusive modiste is as shown in this column.
The material is English serge. The plain
skirt just escapes the ground, and it is but
slightly different from the skirts of last sea-
son. In the front are two pockets, set in
through horizontal or slightly diagonal slits,
about 10 inches below the waist. The waist
extends inches below the waist -line and is
of uniform length, all round. 1t is double
breasted. Two small pockets are set into it,
like mans vest pockets. 1t opens little

bread was put in and held over the fire the
metal of the monogram kept its outline

was just touched with creamy yellow. The
