heaven that there are a great many fools still in existence
 However, there is an occasional mill liner who tells the truth. She said to me the other morning: Big hats were bought early in the season by the very smart women, who wore them when they were driving and while they were still in the country, but now they are the women who have the close fitting little toques oftenest made of a piece left from their gowns. Don't misun- derstand me. These toques are not cheap. The less they have on the more they cost, because under much trim ming you can hide bad work but a sim pie hat must be perfect in its develop ment.''
 The well dressed woman is without doubt that woman who understands the eternal fitness of things. When the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire was painted and the artist made her fa- nous nobody dreamed that such a hat as hers would be worn except in the daytime. In those days magnificence was the keynote of all dress and un- doubtedly her ladyship had just come from a walk in the garden the day her picture was painted. although she was dressed in a brocaded petticoat and a satin jacket for her morning stroll. But when she went to the theater to laugh at Nell Gwynn or to the opera to hear the French singers her beau- tiful hair was elaborately dressed with feathers and jewels. and she took off after she entered her box the quilted hood that protected ssher head from drafts as she travelled through the streets in her sedan chair.
 Nowadays hats and gowns suited to the street are worn in the evening, laces and jewels proper only for even- ing wear are conspicuous in the morn- ing and the law of good taste seems forgotten. But there are some women who dress we'll. Occasionally one does meet a woman who in the morning is gowned in the simplest of cloth frocks, who in the afternoon goes visiting in rich silk and velvet and a tiny bonnet and who in the evening is fine and gay in bright colors and lace, rich jewels and rustling silks and all the furbe- lows specially permitted to lovely wo- man.
 By the bye, fur is on everything from the ball to the dressing gown and from the street wrap to the opera wrap. Wo- men always feel luxurious when they have on furs. They caress one. They make the skin look winter, the eyes brighter and clearer, and given a warm room, wherein there are plenty of flow CTS and some sweet perfumes, the wo- man who goes in from the cold wrap ped up in furs suddenly feels a sense -of great luxury ns she pulls the soft, warm wrappings about her. even if she does not need them. remember three beautiful actresses who always looked their best in fur lined cloaks-Lillie Langtry, in Q sapphire velvet cloak, lined with the skins of 800 chinchillas; Olga Nethersole, in an orange velvet wrap, lined with errnine, and Mrs. Brown Potter, in a green velvet wrap, lined with mink. Ouida, that artist in dress, always covers her heroines with furs, which for time they always de-

, manager af a big department store. 'The post of the buyer is too responsi-
 ble. too closely allied with the heart of the business. to be bestowed lightly" So. with this surety to go by, 1t is safe to infer that there are between 800 and 1000 women in the United States pos- sessed of exceptional business capacity and putting their talents in that line to everyday use.
 There are at least 50 per cent more women buyers8in the trade now than there were six years ago" this authorl- ty added. "The reason? Well. because even conservative merchants are begin
 ming to have confidence in women's
 judgment, and there is such ample proof day after day of their ability that only prejudiced men flout at it. From the time that women first entered the stores at all, even as saleswomen, their taste and intuition for style, their abl- ity to select were noticed. The only thing that held them back from the highest positions and, that holds them back now in some houses was the fear that they could not be relied on to make judicious investments. Many wo- men are incapable in this respect, but most of these buyers we are speaking of have keen business sense, are con- servative and yet at the same time have enterprise enough to lay in a supply of novelties of even risky high priced goods in order to keep their department up to the mark"
 What salary can a woman buyer make year? For an exclusive house, where she handles only a fine line of goods, she is paid from SC, 900 to S8, 900 a year. Such a buyer purchases the misses and ladies suits direct from the factory where they are made, fine. well cut. well put up suits of original design. She must not have too many of one size or pattern, yet she must have enough. She must know her line of custom from A to z and know ex- actly how much she can afford to pay apiece for such goods in order to sell

thing dignified about furs, and yet how few women are dignified.
 The average woman, anxious to be dignifed, looks to quote my old man. my, "as if she had swallowed a poker" or, to quote from a recent importation from Ireland, "as if she had taken an extra dose of ramrod tea" Dignity is a something that comes with years of experience, and it cannot be assumed. It is singularly restful and has a pecul- jar charm of it's own. Two dignified women, as unlike as possible, are the happy queen of England and the un- happy empress of France. and yet they are so dignified-one tiny and so stout that she can scarcely walk, but all who approach her, or even see her, are con scious that she is a woman of dignity, and while she is kind and thoughtful and has been a good mother, yet she is beyond frivolity. her very atmos- phere expressing the very best sort of dignity; the other tall, slender pc culiarly sad in her mourning robes. breathes the same spirit. The youn- gest soldier represents to her what her son might have been, and for him she has a kindly word, yet one feels, no matter how she may speak in kindli- ness, that he would not dare answer her except in way appreciative of the position that she has held.
 Real dignity does not mean stiffness or arrogance, but it Is that something that tells us that the woman we are looking at has lived out noble, good life and that the time has come for us to show her in our manner the respect we feel in our hearts. The dignified woman is the flower of humanity. You know there are people who cannot dis tinguish between weeds and flowers. Sometimes the sun has made the rose come forth and bloom, surrounded it with lovely green leaves and then up around it have grown tall, poisonous weeds. and people who don't know the difference reach out and grasp per haps the flower, perhaps the weed, and

New York, Dec. 10.--A certain little cloth covered volume published dur ing the present year contains a list of the names significant in the great re- tail trade of the country, the names of the buyers who select and purchase goods for various firms in all parts of the Union. There are over 700 wofnen's s names registered in this list and those able to judge state that there are fully 200 other women buyers whose names are merely set down as s. Brown or c. Jones, without the distinguishing pre-. fix of Miss or Mrs.
 You can depend upon it that when- ever you find woman occupying the position of buyer it Is because she is exceptionally qualified for it," said the
