For indoor wear the long, loose robes
caught in under the arms and falling
over a silk underslip are considered very.
modish. No corset is worn, with these
robes, corsolet being substituted, which,
from its tieXibility and brevity, adds
much to the comfort of the wearer.
Handsome Russian laces have taken
an upward bound in popularity. Russian
blouses long and pointed in front, are
likewise very much favored 1t is a
season of odd effects, and the blouses are
both brilliant in color and odd in decorae
ton. @
Hats of the same material as the gown
are an idiosyncrasy of the year. Often
the hat consists simply of frame draped
with cloth, the only additional decorative
touch being chou or handsome buckle
at the side. In other instances the cloth
is embroidered or appliqued and combined
with draperies of lace or other sheer ma
teriais Many evening blouses open in
the back. This arrangement admits of
the advantageous use of the long,
straight front.

The above possible solution of a vexi1g

man at an informal gathering which the
Bachelor Girl attended.

beauties and pointing out their various
patterns. Perhaps it is from, the laces
she handles constantly that this girl has
caught a certain delicacy and refinement
of manner. The Bachelor Girl knows
something of her history, knows how she
ambitiously worked herself up to the
head of her department and how she has
studied the story of laces. She finds
chat with that alert young saleswoman
always stimulating. But on this morning
something had gone wrong. The clerks
bright face was ,clouded.
"Why do newspapers publish such
stuff" she asked contemptuously, dis
playing a half column clipping from some
paper.

like eyes and restless hands was saying:

me all servants have rowing dispositions.
They are always looking for change.
Polly has had such good home with
u.s. I can't understand why she should
want to leave. She says she prefers sec

hard work. I'm sure I've done my best
to make things easy for her, but servants
are proverbially ungrateful.

an early hour and tolls all day and often
far into the night. She cannot keep her
self fresh looking and dainty even if She
wanted to. She has no prospect of adj
vancement, even of a raise in salary.
She sees few people. If her friends come
to the house she has only the kitchen to
receive them in. She goes in and out
back doors and eats off of coarse china.

I'm tired of this old saw about the shop
girl. 1t is simply a choice of caste and
who can blame the American girl for
choosing the highest?" And the clerk
tripped off to wait on a customer, leaving
the Bachelor Girl puzzling over this new
view of the servant girl question.
But the Bachelor Girl'' was to hear
yet another view of the servant girl ques-

dropped into down town cafe for lunch

with a party of shoppers-three women.
