Provided a long and slender appearance is
aimed at, she allows full scope to personal
taste and individuality Of her followers,
and with excellent results, for never were
STYLES more graceful or universally becom-
ing than this year The choosing OF dress
goods for a stylish costume IS question
of moment for the multitude OF attractive
fabrics displayed in the big shops there
are many called but few chosen. Zibihnes
and other rough-surfaced worsteds
are suitable to few figures, as
they tend TO broaden, and
the large plaids, glorious and inviting in
their brilliant colorngs, are out of the
question for any but tall and very sight
women. Smooth fabrics in weave and col
oring are therefore always the safest, and
among them the striped effects stand de-
servedIy in highest favor, as they accord

have. besides. the advantage tnat one never
tires of them-Of the narrow varieties at
least. Many Of the new dress goods are
woven with raised seIf-cOlored lines, and
others are striped in different unobtrusiye
shades while again other striped effects
are obtained by rows of tiny tucks or
stitched pleats done on light weight wool

That statistics prove the workingwoman
to be as good as she is industrious is evil
denced by a paper recently written by
Hon. Carroll D. Wright IN sweeping
aside one charge that has been made
against her, Mr.. Wright says
The popular impression is that women
wageworkers are not up to the standards
prevalent under the old hand system of la
Dor and that woman's entrance into the in
dustrial field has lowered her moral stand
ard, and the statement is constantly made
that low wages naturally compel women to
supplement their earnings by an immoral
life. Those who know the circumstances
best are convinced that this view is abso-
lutely false and that the workingwOmen of
this or any other civilized country are upon
as high plane of purity as any class in
the community.

tucks and a deep hem. The tunic and bod
ice tax the deftness of the dressmaker, as
they consist entirely OF narrow fitted cores
of finely tucked liberty silk of the same
soft grey. These cores are so put together
that the tucks which are placed diagonal
ly, form zigZag lines, the sharp angles of
which are covered with a narrow milli-
ner's fold Of silver grey taffeta running
vertically along the entire length of the
bodice and tunic. A fitted border of pale
grey guipuTe lace forms the hem, and is
appliqued with a narrow piping of the sill
yer grey taffeta. The same lace motif is
evident on the bodice. where it Stimulates a
tiny bolero over a yoke of white silk,
striped with silver and grey passementerie.
The high stock collar is Of the same white
silk, and the tight sleeves of silver grey
taffeta are embellished with pointed wrist
and shoulder pieces Of guipuTe lace ap-

which is partly covered by the long tunic

snugly. A seam in front serves the pur-
pose of arranging the stripes into sharp
points and deep incision at the hem dis
plays the velvet flare on the underskirt
A narrow passementerie of golden brown
chenille finishes the tunic. The Bedford
cord Of the bodice is stretched seamIessly
over the back, but is allowed some slight

box pleat on either side of an inserted vest
OF tan velvet adorned with clusters Of
small bronze buttons. The plain stock col

out FIVE and six patents for widely different
