Lnce Work For women.

In all the foremost countries Of the
world, except the United States, the
manufacture Of hand-lace is encour-
aged as a source Of social good, and
the ambition Of the needleWomen en-
gagged upon it IS stimulated by the ap-
probation and avowed patronage Of
the rich, says Ada Sterling in the At
lantic. American women display
sharp acumen in selecting the best eX-
amples Of handwork abroad, paying
high prices to middle men, and, added
to this the regular duties, or tariff,
but the adyisability, not TO SLY, ueces.
sity, Of transpanting this home indus
try to this side of the water and here
protecting it seems not to have oc-
Cured TO them. Nevertheless, no ma
tion needs more to provide an inter
esting and quieting occupation for it's
Working-women than does this one.
Here is distinct and untrodden field
for the women who are now devoting
themselves indeterminately to the So
termed amelioration Of the condition
Of their sex, especially the poor among
them, Once the enterprise is thought
fully entered upon, it is not to be con-
jectured that Congress viii refuse ad-
mission to the qualified teachers whom
it would be necessary to attract to
America for proper establishment Of
the industry. Let a coterie of earnest
moneyed women be formed in each
large city, obligated to support the in
dustry by purchasing and wearing the
lace locally produced, ana another FIVE
years would see this gentlest Of all
strictly forbidden feminine occupa-
tions IN a thriving condition.

The Game of shopping.

Women buy clothes and household
effects chiefly, letting themselves run
over into such other delights Of pur-
chase as their purses and their con
sciences permit 1t is hard work, and
they often exhaust themselves in the
labor of 1t, and make most of that
when they discourse about 1t. They
seldom recognize that It is Il labo,
they delight in. or admit Its imDor.

PROF. WooD:
Am delighted with your method Of
training pupils in the Civil Service
Course.
As teacher of Bookkeeping you
cannot be excelled; under your instruc-
ton it becomes an intensely interesting
study instead Of a dry bug-bear Of
accounts"
For a good, practical business educa.
tion, one must go to Woods Commercial
College.
Wishing you unhounded success, l am,

I think all who conscientiously pursue

1t is rather exceptional 10 iud a
new hat model trimmed with flowers,
but certain kinds OF floral garnumes
will receive attention Thus far, how
ever, the varieties have been confined
to roses and autumn tinted rose leaves,
The roses are large, often great, mag
nitied blossoms from six to seven
inches in diameter some oC them wide
open, with full cluster Of golden sta
mems in the centre They are uuusu-
ally rich, made Of velvet. soft satin
and soft silk, IN all the colors of ma.
ture, and conyentlonalized in the ec-
centric colors Of the season

Felt will be much used for smart
millinery, though not so much as vel
vet, aud in some cases the soft low
crowns Of toques, with narrow, rolled
brims Of black tulle, richly spanglod,
are Of pale pink, blue or mauve long
haired felt. A particular shade Of
pinkish mauve is much affected for
felt. A hat with a slightly waved
brim OF black velvet has a full crown
in this mauye felt, drawn up at the
top through a jet buckle. The trim
ming consists Of bunch of satin roses
in several shades Of the same color.

Indications point to a liberal use Of
lace in the makeup Of fine hats for the
winter. Of the handmade laces, the
Renaissance, the Battenberg and the
applique Will be in request 10y women
who can afford them, while the woven
millinery laces leave nothing to be
asked for in design or effect, the imita-
tlon of Irish point in white and Of
Chantilly in black being especially
beautiful Some Of the laces shown
are nine or ten inches wide.
