One of the materials which the famous
milliner holds in great favor this season
for blouse waists. shoulder capes and
trimmings of all kinds is a curious mixed

oddly resembles the beautiful notified
sides of trout, with its greenish brown
ish color, white reflections and little dots
of red
1t is a well-known fact that Worth
seeks his combinations of color from nat
ure, and he often employees his color box
to give the idea to the manufacturer of
the dye to be used in some particular
stuff. OF late it would seem as if flowers
We're his guides, and he introduces into
many of his recent gowns their daring
and splendid contrasts He is great
autocrat, and likes to gown red-haired
women in purple, and fair-haired beauties
in yellow. GA blonde should be sur
rounded by sunshine" he says to the lat
ter and to the former he quotes purple
and gold"
He greatly prefers to dress American
rather than English woman. "My coun-
trywomen are fine creatures, but they
have very little TASTE" he asserts, ''as
they will persist in covering over some of
my best creations with some precious
old yellow bits of ancestral lace that
quite mar the effect"
Women, says the New York Sun, have
reason to congratulate themselves that
their building was in a better state of
readiness at the opening of the worlds
fair than any of the others. And when
Bertha Honore Palmer drew from its
jeweled receptacle the nail of precious
metals sent on by western women for the
last nail of the women'S building and
with quick, vigorous blows drove it home
in the appointed place, she shattered the
old tradition that woman cannot drive
a nail. Mrs. Palmer said that she had
not been coached for her new role, and
rather feared the result, but like all the
undertakings of women at the fair, it was
a success. 1t is a long stride that women
have taken since that ancient Jewish
woman drove the nail that made her
famous, straight through the head of her
enemy. Men have said it was impossible
for women to do a great many other things
besides handle a hammer or sharpen a
lead pencil, and while they were amusing
themselves with the reiteration of their
pet theories the women have gone on
doing the very things that all the world
was laughing to think they couldn't do.
1t has been estimated that half &e work
of the fair has been done by women. Half
the exhibits are managed by women or
consist of women. The clerkships are
mostly filled by women and there are
something like 25, 900 stenographers, type
writers and press women. 1t is women
who have put the finishing touch on the
buildings in the way of frescoes and stat
uary, and it is women who suggested the
comfortable seats, resting rooms, and
nurseries for children and the other 'es-
sentials for the comfort of the sightseers.
There is one woman who has a mending
booth where she sews on buttons and re-
pairs rents and rips. Another woman has
a collection of simple remedies for minor
ills TO relieve the suffering. Still another
keeps an information booth, and she will
tell you where to find the impossible-a
cheap luncheon, or check your sachel
while you eat it, And all along the line
between the most pretentious and most
simply feminine extremes woman's work
and suggestion and influence is every
