WOMEN AS INVENTORS.

A phamplet recently published by
the United States patent Office gives
list OF the patents issued to women by
the government. The pamphlet 10
supplementary to those published
Ia eretofore, and brings the list OF
such issue up to March last. The
Office was established in 1870 and the
first patent issued to a woman in 1909
to Mary Kies, for a method of weav-
ing straw with silk or thread. Six years
later one was issued to Mary
Brush for corset. IL was not until
1928 that more than one patent per
year was issued to women. In 1862
only fourteen patients were issued to
women, that being the largest in any
year up to that time. The war how.
ever developed the inventive genius of .
women, and the annual number OF
patents issued to them increased rap
idly. Many of them we're for inven-
tions for either fighting or nursing
devises. The annual issue increased
steadily year by year. In 1870, it was
sixty, in 1880 over nnety-two. in 1890
over 200, aud in 1898 over 800. From
1909 to 1888 womens inventions aver
aged thirty year; from 1883 to 1892
900 year, and since 1892, $50 a
year.
The pamphlet gives O classification
of women's inventions. This shows
that wearing apparel leads the list,
with 100 different patents in thirty
months Then come cooking utensils
with 100 inventions, furniture with
thirty-five, heating and washing or
cleaning apparatus with forty odd
each, sewing and spinning devices and
building apparatus with about thirty
each; educational, medicinal appara-
tus, toys and trunks about twenty
each. Other things in which women
have tri ed their inventive faculties are
baby carriages, barrel and bicycle
attachments, printing and bottling
apparatus, boxes and baskets, clocks,
flowers, horseshoes, motors, musical
instruments, plumbing and preserving
devices, screens, stationery, theatrical
| apparatus, toilet articles and type
writer attachments.
Few of the patents issued to women
were for entirely new creations. Ex-
Guiding those especially concerning
women's work, nearly all of the other
patents were for Attachments to some
previously existing device. st. Louis

LADIES DEPARTMENT.
STYLISH HAIR DRESSING.

The tendency in hair dressing is
towards extreme simplicity. II is
considered bad taste to make any adj
dition to the natural hair, and false
frizettes, puffs and switches are very
little used. The most striking inno-
vation OF the season is distinct part
ing of the hair in the middle from
the forehead to the crown of the head.
This may undoubtedly be traced to
the influence of 1890 styles. For
morning the hair is worn in some
soft, fluffy way round the face. There
is n slight fringe of hair over the
forehead, but this fringe is parted in
the middle, curling in on each side. -

her present health makes any society
obligations too great fatigue for her

wise have come in for some of that
English mania for lionizing, which,
by the ordinary laws OF recurrence,

FASHION NOTES.

Striped and glace velvets will be
used for handsome waists and fitted
blouses.
Shot velvet and rich wide ribbons
pcau de sole will be very fashionable
on winter hats.
Among the black crepons for
autumn are those having tiny stripe
in brilliant color.
Among the new fashionable gray
blue dyes the shade named Napoleon
finds greatest favor.
Opal and fine gold beads are inter-
mixed with jet on trimmings used for
elegant evening toilets.
Changeable and Dresden effect in
ribbons both for dress and millinery
uses continue to be highly favored.
Very often the new coats, in blazer
fashion, and with strapped seams
open over blouse vests, of checked silk
like that which trims the coats.
Some of the elegant taifeta silks
have green and gold shot backgro unds
patterned with small brilliant Persian
or chine figures in shaded effects.
The latest fancy is to brush the
hair straight back from the forhead
and wave it into a soft fiat knot at the
back of the head the kind of knot
that does not protrude, but seems to
follow the shape of the head.
