costumes but he looks for that round
ness as opposed to angularity, that grace,
be it of rutie or gather, that little
touch of color, ribbon, |
flowing outline, that shall proclaim the
sweetness, the preciousness of woman
hood +" He believes that although wo-
mans dress should be adapted fully to ,,
the new conditions that the sex is en-
the going out to business in
all weathers, the active work in facto-
ries, gardens and elsewhere, the enjoy
ment of athletic culture, mountain
etc, still the element of ar
tistic beauty must never be lost sight Of
Mr.. Crandall is exactly right. One of
the first duties of women, from the age
of to 100, is to make themselves at all
times as beautiful as they can, and l
have always said it. Mr. Crandall is
enthusiastically in favor of short skirts
He writes 1.-THE gain to the race that
would accrue in the way of increased
health and happiness and lessened pain
and doctors bills if the average skirt
was cut ten inches shorter would be ire
mendous. By that one simple stroke of
the scissors, quick and painless, think
how many hundred tons of dry goods
would drop from the overweighted hips
of woman
Whether college bred women do or do
not marry is a question of no more i'm
portance than whether college men
marry.
The sensitivites of school trustee Of
Greenpoint, N. Y, have been cruelty.
cruelty hurt by bold, bad schoolmis-
tress who rode to school on her bicycle
and wore bloomers-actually wore 'em.
1t is true she put on an orthodox long
skirt so soon as she entered tho school
house, but that did not palliate the
enormity Of her crime. The delicate and
tender plant Of a trustee was afraid
ether girls might see this bright, ath-
letic schoolmistress and put 'em on too.
He was afraid of the effect Of the bloomer
example on the morals of his "dees-
trick" so he ordered, did the trustee,
that the schoolmistress shouldn't wear
her boomers any more when she rode
| to school l will be one of a number to
subscribe fund for testing in the court
whether that school trustee had any
legal right to issue such an order. When
Miss Nancy school trustees undertake to
regulate teachers dress, it is high time
that women voted. That Nancy man
had no more right to prescribe what the
teacher should wear than she had to pre-.
| scribe what he should wear
| The woman's press committee of the
International and Cotton States exposi
ton will have a meeting of their own
gathering at Atlanta from all parts Of
the Union Oct. 2, 8 and 4. Their visit

Atlanta know how to make such a visit
Mrs. Maude Andrews Oil of the Allan

Mr.. J. 81. Monrad, one of the leading
butter and cheesemakers of the coun
try, says that every creamery ought Il
have among its employees girl teste
to find out the amount Of cream ant
butter fat the separators leave in tn

person S work of itself. The man VIII
runs the churn and the separator ha
not time to make such tests, and SO i
J happens often that separators leave
considerable per cent Of butter fat il
J the milk, and it is wasted. The cir
tester would save many dollars weekl
over and above her wages. Excellentl
thought of, Mr.. Monrad We know do2
ems of neat, sweet, Immediately cleal
and pretty girls who are just waitin
} for such place.
There is not a working girl in thi
country who cannot conquer success, nc
one who cannot earn good living la
up money, and in time get compe
tency. She has only to make up he
mind that she will do this and the
stick to it.
1t is hopeful sign that the colore
women of the United States have Oh
ganized society of their own, the M
tional Federation Of Afro-America
Women. The colored women of thi
country work harder and more steadil
than colored men do, and they do NJ
get the recognition they should .froi
Il their white sisters.
If I were a man, I should not 50
much about college women not MARI!
ing l should consider it such pot
compliment to my sex that I shoul
want to pass over it in silence. If co
lege women and successful business w
men prefer single life to accepting me
as husbands, then SO much the wor
r for the men.
