Fashions and Seasons.

New York Times.
A party of women were inspecting a
display Of gowns and summer fabrics at
one of the largest stores yesterday, and
one of them showed a disposition to pur-
chase then and there gown that hap
pened to strike her fancy and fit her most
becomingly. Don't do it," whispered one
of her companions Like as not they will
not be in fashion when summer comes
around, and then how you will feel with
a gown of last summers cut on. They
must be last summers cut for how can
these people know what the fashion is
going to be next summer right here in mid
winter" That argument was clincher
and the party left the store thoroughly
convinced that they had narrowly escaped
being made the victims of one of New
York's bunco games. They met their hus-
hotels and were telling the escape they
had had from being taken in" Then
there was a chorus Of laughter from
''those horrid men," who, upon demand.
knew that the fashions for both men and
women for next summer were decided upon
a year or so ago, the goods all made up,
and the patterns sent broadcast over the
world at about the time that women were
engaged in buying their winter outfit, and
that now the mills are all engaged in max
ing heavy goods for next winters wear.
1t was altogether too much for the women
to believe, and they decided that the hus-
bands were making fun of them, and no
statement = the contrary would be be-
lieved. Nor were they convinced until one
of them, who had an acquaintance with the
superintendent of one of the big depart
ment stores appealed to him as an author
ity to settle the question. He, of course,
informed her that her husband was in the
right, and pointed out the impossibility
of manufacturing cloths and making up
gowns on the moment at any time of the
year to suit that particular instant. That
same superintendent said there was prob
ably not one woman in a thousand who
knew or would believe that all the styles
of the summer of 1900 were prepared in
the spring and summer of 1899.
Necessities Of designing, manufacturing,
and getting the goods first into the hands
OF the jobbers and then of the retailers
months in advance of the time of their
use are things that seem beyond the COM
prehension of womankind," said he, land
If women did know it all right, they
would wait until the very last moment
Before buying what they think they want,
so as to get the advantage of the very
latest thing Yet there is not a tailor,
dressmaker or milliner of the fashionable
sort but has now in his or her workrooms
the patterns for the styles that will be in

For the past fifteen years." said the
woman of not immoderate means. I've
been an earnest worker in nearly all the
clubs and charities that my suburb boasts.
I've been president of two or three or
CARNATIONS and chairman of the executive
committee of two or three more, and 1
seem to be a perpetual treasurer for two
or three others. Once a treasurer, always
treasurer, where women's societies are
considered, You know. So few women have
a talent for business that when one is dis
covered who has the least leaning that
way she is to be made much of, not to say
worked to death, by her sisters in Organiza-
ton. / have managed the accounts and in
vested the moneys for so many societies
that whenever new club starts the first
thing it does is to appoint me treasurer.
In addition to official duties / have unof-
ficially bestowed much energy and interest
upon the various bodies of which ] am a
member. / have worked for them and with
them and by them; have at all times and
seasons held their interests close at heart
and have furthered their interests in every
possible way. So long and so hard service
cannot fail to have its effect upon me, as
well as upon the clubs, however, and am
now thinking of giving up my work, per-
petual treasurerships and all, TO other and
younger hands, while I retire to rest. But
in looking back at it all / am struck by
one thing: Had half the time and energy
lavished upon my club work been put into
some personal enterprise / would to-day
have been a rich woman. The ingredients
for any kind of business success were all
there; the prosperity of the organizations /
have worked for proves ii. It's some COM
fort, OF course, to know that / may have
been of use to others, but with a not I'M
limited purse must come the thought that
ones first duty is to herself. Here L am,
in my old age, as poor as L was in my
youth while various societies are the richer
for my efforts. It's too late now to embark
on a personal venture; all my energy and
youth have been consumed by fifteen years
of club work. 1 know that there's a preju-
dice against married women engaging in
business enterprises; many wives felt 1t,
most husbands express it, and the other
day the Postoffice Department decided Of
ficially that 1t can no longer retain mar
ried women in its service. But why are
women endowed with business ability if 1T
isn't for use? And why should marriage be
an impediment to the employment of bust
ness ability? But with club work rallied at
on all sides and with those of US who take
it most seriously not any too sure of its
filling a long-felt want 1t is question to
what uses a woman may put a natural tall
ent for work. In my own case l can only
say that had / served myself as L have

A woman of social position, who has in

she said, land when she fails to become
a fixed star, through inability to observe
the simplest rules of common sense, why,
1 call 1T downright ingratitude. Most girls
are social failures through their own faults.
They may be ugly and stupid and even
poor, but there are ugly, stupid and poor
women in New York who have enviable
social positions. On the other hand, girl
may have friends and clothes and books,

country house a smart dance. Why are
they asked? Because they have w.t. not
humor or repartee, or conversational pow
ers, but mother wit that warns them
what to say and when, and what not to
say and to whom. No calling requires
greater skill or tact than that of guest,
and no calling brings greater compensation.
Why, being a guest at a certain house
brings q social position for life in some
instances, not to speak of the pleasures
and privileges of being a guest in these
luxurious days.
Mrs. Blank is an ideal guest She is a.
clever little witch, but most people think
she is angel. No wonder she is welcome

of the success of the seasons beauties
She may speak disparagingly of beauty,
