The Working Women's union Of sew
York Is making things lively for people
who seek To defraud poor girls Of their Just
dues, A recent case that attracted some
attention wis that Of IA girl hardly more

home. For these, called flowing ends. she
was TO receive twenty nine cents "A dozen.
1t WIS usual for some machine stitching to
be done on these in the workroom. This
particular six dozen for some reason had
not been done. The forewomau suggested
that the girl got some operator she knew
to do IT, Tn girl disclhiming knowledge
OF any such person was referred To a friend
OF the forewoman, accustomed to such
work. Tn girl paid the operator thirty
five cents, Thu forcwumau took the scarfs,
but refused payment, She admitted that
the girls work had been properly done. but
she claimed that the machine work was
wrong, TIT firm paid when forced to, but
now many girls had been drfrauded before
this one hat had the courage to light.
In one month there were eighty claims
placed on the books Of the union. One was
that Of II poor washer woman, who has a
claim for ninety-siN cents against a man
far from poor. Another was for S9s.4S for

The long wrap in the illustration is of
dark blue cloth, trimmed with three rows
of velvet ribbon all around the bottom
and the cape, while the plastron front is
richly braided in black soutache. There
is a doubled ruffle of the cloth all around
the plastron, which is very becoming to
slight persons. This style Of wrap is
much liked.
Velvet is to be a favorite material for
wraps for carriage and visiting, and they
are garnished in various ways, the most
elegant being silk embroidery, and the
most popular being passementerie with
tine Jet and silk and chenille fringe.
When a velvet jacket is worn it gives
a curious effect of being cut in two, so
little does a velvet jacket harmonic
with any other material. Sol it is better
to have long tabs to the wrap in front,
which alters that appearance to one of
unity and grace.
Avery beautiful little wrap for warmer
days has aV shaped plastron in front
and back Of rich black velvet, trimmed
with fine cut jet beads, worked directly

Of black faille, and this was edged with
a full rufie of Chantilly lace. 1t fastens

velvet satin faced ribbon with long

For a bedchamber or sewing room
such a chair is quite as attractive done
up with cheese cloth in baby blue tint,
delicate pink or buff. or any of the ex-
quisite designs displayed in silkoline.
which may be edged with cheap cotton
lace, surmounted at intervals by long
silk t~assels. matching in shade the
groundwork of the silkoline, finished
with ribbons, drawn at the ends, with
the addition Of a single tassel, or Il bunch
of them, with short cords to attach them.
The silk should be portioned first in a
piece for the cushion cover, then the re-
mainder cut through the middle of the
silk, which is used l~cngthwise, one piece
for the upper drapery and another for
the lower. The cushion is most endur-
ing made of hair, which comes in several
qualities, according 10 price. However,
cotton at "a few cents will serve, and
since it is typically a summer chair will
last out n season nicely. This should be
made OF unbleached muslin, then covered
with the silk on top and silesia in the
same color at the bottom, as there is some
wear against the seat. A band of satin
ribbon across the cushion holds it in
form and gives brightness. a monogram
or the words "Rest Awhile" embroider-
ed, give the chair a sentiment if YOU wish
to give it the time and pains. The drapery
is next to be fashioned in soft folds, edged
with fringe or silken cord tackled at in
tervals on the edge to form loops, these
loops suspending a tiny tassel. At one
side n bit Of the silk Is ~festooned in q
jabot end, n on the projecting corner
of the seat, while a full bow catches the
drapery up at the back. Ribbon ends
are tucked away in the ~festoons, and
these with the ends of the bow are COM
pleted with full silken balls.
