WILL CONSIDER INCREASE
City Council Cannot See at Present Way
Clear to Increase Force.

Clear to Increase Force.
Because of the lack Of funds, the
Democratic City Council cannot see
how it is possible to increase the
police force.
Chief Black has asked for fifteen
additional men as the present force
is inadequate for the protection OF
the territory to be patro:ed.
The increase In police force asked
would mean an expenditure for
salaries Of nearly $4,000 a year.
As this increase was not contem-
plated at the beginning Of the fiscal
year no calcula lation was made for it.
There isno appropriation, the mem-
bers OF Council say, from which the
addition. al money could he drawn
and no provision 10 the tax levy for
that amount. There would be no
money to pay the men should Coun.
Gil authorize their appointment.

Muslin appears TO be growing greatly
in favor for art needlcwork. Many
workers use muslin MS a foundation or

sheen of the rich material shows very

can be daintily finished with puhings
or frils Of chiffon. Also an oyerlay

such rs is given by MORE silk, etc.
A new kind of work Is lace royal, and
here we have muslin over net as
foundation or material to work upon.
Large collars and trimmings for dresses
in this are really charming A grace
ful design in yiolets and leaves was
traced and then finely embroidered in
delicate tints with lilo-hoss silk, the
outline or shape Of collar was closely
buttonholcd with silk, and the raw
edges then cut neatly away. The eff,

at the same dime does not detract from
the lightness OF the material.
Another good design in this work is
that Of a V-shaped front 60 be used as

like trimming for collar and cuffs. Of
course, any shape or style can be de-
signed with endless variations as to
flowers and coloring. Heather is
charming little flower to embroider
/ where ligbtness is desired, its green
sprigs and dainty flower heads are so
/ quickly and easily done. Where a blue
shade is required, cornfowers and tiny
daisies and buttercups are pretty.
A very fine but exceedingly firm mus
lin is supplied for table centres etc,
and one of this material seen recently
was embroidered with carnations, fine
ly worked with a single thread Of silk,
and beautifully shaded in filo-foss.
Sprays Of the carnations crimson and
Yellow were loosely tied together with
narrow blue ribbons, also embroidered,

Arlne Mnmnn Whln.

Lady Howe is one Of the best whips
In England, and is one Of the very few
women who can drive a high-mettled
team gracefully and successfully in the
streets Of London That she is an au-
thority on driving is proved by her
being asked to contribute a chapter to
the volume of "The Badminton IL
brary," dealing with that subject An
other Of Lady Howe's fortes is cleo
tioneeHng, an art in which her sister
in-law, Mrs. George Cornwallis-West,
formerly Lady Randolph Churchill,
excels. These two women secured the
late Lord Randolph Churchilrs election
to Woodstock in 1885 without his going
near the place.

Education of working Girls.

Interesting statistics in regard to the
education Of working girls are being
obtained by the National League of
Women Workers under the direction of
the Department of Labor in Washing
ton. A schedule is sent out to working
girls in which data regarding birth, ma
tiOnality education and religious train
ing are sought. To discover the pro-
gress of the girl in earning power in
quiry is made concerning occupations
for pay) and earnings since going to
work, specifying both the industry and
the occupation. Searching inquiry is
made into the present occupation,
hours and earnings of working girls,
including hours of work on Saturday,
rate Of pay for Saturday and fines. A
girl who was born and always has
lived in New York City, went to paro-
chial school between the ages Of six
and fourteen years. After leaving
school to so to work as stock girl she
took a course in bookkeeping in night
school, but as she remained only three
weeks it was of little use to her. In a
girls club the girl attended millinery
class for four weeks, dancing class
for six weeks and a class in stenogra,
ply for three weeks. She learned
neither to cook nor to sew at home
She began to work at the wage Of IS q
week, and at the end Of five years has
raised that to So a week A girl who
could neither read nor write, she says
could do the work she is doing an(
earn as much pay.

"My dear" said the old lady, cit is
worse than a crime; it is ill bred"
Nothing points out the well bred
woman more quickly than the position
she takes when she sits down. The
stamp of yulgarity is marked upon the
woman who sits with her knees spread
far apart; lack of refinement is shown
by knees crossed Extensively; lack of
ease by stiff and constrained positions
OF the shoulders; a general carelessness
and Indifference by the very common
fault of sitting in the shoulders" that
is, OF doubling UP the spine SO that the
upper rather than the lower part Of it
rests against the back of the chair.
The body should be placed well back
upon the seat, chair, sofa or whatever
it may be. The feet should rest on the
floor, one somewhat in front Of the
other, because it is easier to rise from
that position. The head must be kept
well up and the chest poised slightly
forward
The lower part OF the spine may be
pressed against the frame Of the chair,
but IL one, after sitting a while, should
need to rest a little more the shoulders
may also touch upon the same sup
port. The hands should remain as
they naturally fail from this position,
hanging at the sides, OF they may be
placed eaEily over the arms or back o.
