A Handsome Nightrobc.

A very pretty nightgown was rlcdc
Of fine longclSth. The back, Instead
Of the once ubiquitous yoke, was ar
ranged in two box pleats and set into
band at the neck. The front boasted
of a little ' opening. and the whole
was most daintily finished by : wide
sailor collar adorned with a frill of
hemstitched cambric. This, in add.
tion. was carried down the opening
ard around the wrists, being set on
everywhere with narrow lingerie
leading.
Another nightgcwn, also slightly
open at the throat was arranged on
a tiny square yoke, back and front,
composed of two rows of insertion. Il
little frill Of odging to match coming
at the top and much wider fin AT
the lower edge. Tho opening itself
was rather narrow box pleat. with
two rows Of feather stitching. The
wider frilling was again responsible
for the wrist finish. ~ also feather
stitched band Of the longcloth.
In both cases the skirt part was in
two breadths, having side gore. the
sloping side of which was laid to the
back and the straight edge to the
front. Six yards CT longcloth will be
found sufficient. or the same quantity
Of cambric, if that latter fabric be
preferred.

Why Women Fail in Business

Business women in every department
or life are able to earn larger salaries
to-day than ever before. Utter fail
Tres in business life are due to one
Of two causes: incompetence or ill
health. Take journalism or literature
for Instance, since that is the career
SO many young women attempt to
pursue. 1t is a mistake to imagine
tlat a good education and a facile pen
are all that are required. Good health
IS absolutely Cssential-I speak now
particularly of journallsm-and unless
one is exceptionally strong this branch
CT literary work should be left entirely
alone.
Delicate, sensitive. nerotlc women
who attempt newspaper work are ir-
reparably injuring their health, for
the work demanded is constant and
firing. Women who undertake this
work must be willing to 90 anywhere
ct q moments notice; from morning
interviews to afternoon and evening
social functions, irrespective of
weather or disposition, is but c part
Of the work she may be assigned and
when that part of the work is done the
copy must be gotten ready for the
paper. Delicate women almost in
variably become failures. because. un.
less one has constitution of iron,
q nervous breakdown is inevitable.
Writers of fiction and magazine arti-
cles escape these disadvantages, but
IN their case real ability il required
This is the real stumbling block to
many. Besides a good general educa-
tion something in addition 10 required
to make successful writer. Most be-
ginners in literature fail because they
try to make their writings convey a
sense Of the amount Of learning they
have acquired instead OF dealing with
the matter they profess to be writing
Cpo1 and trying 70 infuse into 1t a
little OF their own originality; others
fail because they seorn subjects close
at home and aim for heights that are
attailablc only after years Of toll, and
another class Of writers fail, or be-
come discouraged and abandon their
work, because they fail to select
proper mediums to send their manu-
'>cript to and therefore naturally have
Il rejected.
The above are but q few OF the rea-
sons why so many women give up lit
erature and look to other fields for
employment-Clara Williamson, 10
