The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-11-30
By KATE MASTERSON.
Copyright, 1902 by Kate Masterson.

New York is the home of the Bach
elor Girl. In no other city in the world
does a girl dare to live alone and un-
chaperoned, inviting the criticism of
friends and foes.
The large studio buildings are peo-
pied with these lone girl tenants. liv-
ing singly and in groups of two and
three on the cooperative house-keep-
ing plan, which means something
weird and terrible in these Adamless
Edens.
Besides these settlements of girl
bachelors hardly an apartment house
in the metropolis is without at least
one of these women wage earners
whose home is perhaps the only joy of
her lonely existence. Not that the bach
elor maid is an unsocial creature, but
because one of the first lessons that
she learns in her city experience is
that she must be wary in the making
OF close mountaineering which, if
she be in earnest in her work, she will
ind more of persistent deterrent

ing in this strain. They insist that a
woman can go into any business held
and maintain all her beliefs, her faith
in humanity and her femininity as Sc
curely as in her home life, but this is
the exception rather than the rule.
The Best Art of All.
1t is better that girls should under
stand the dangers before embarking
on such sea. If a girl can act, sing,
paint, or write with any skill she will
do it, If she is required to work for
money. she will utilize her talent but
1t is mistaken idea that the woman
who turns into a happy domestic har-
Dor and makes wifehood and mother
hood her profession abandons her
art" There is very fine art in the
making of a home.
OF the host of girls who come on
from the South or West how many
survive? And the few who gain a
place are always anxious and ready to
drop the parchment of the lawyer, the
crown of the stage queen or the pen of
the poet to sing the cradle song of
some happy fireside.
1t is as it should be. The woman
first and last! Nothing can change 1t,
and the girl who realizes this and
keeps that star in view seeks the best
career. The women who achieve are
the first to admit this truth. The girl
feverishly striving to leave her home
and its environments to pursue will
o-the-wisp that in reality she knows
nothing of will always seem like a
butterfly beating out its life against
wheel.

Midwinter styles show a wide choice
IN hats and neck wear. In both the
models have lost the eccentric touches
which distinguished them at the be-
ginning of the season, and so much are
the looks of the wearer considered
that the woman must be plain, indeed,
who cannot be suited.
The broad fiat hats. which. in some
cases, are trimmed in a way to hide
totally the low crowns. are still prime
favorites. but jaunty. side-tilted eff
fects are pressing them close for pop
ular favor, while the creeping in of
other brim styles with the old high
back-lift seems to indicate that this
exaggerated fairness is on the wane.
Already a concession to becoming
ness is made with these plate-like
shapes, which needed to be pushed so
far over the face that they sometimes
revealed awkward lines at the side
head. They are now lifted at the back
by a crown band so as to slant them
sharply from this point down to the

They Find the Work Hard.
Work In the professions in New
York is no trivial matter to a woman
1t means requirements that not one
woman in twenty possesses in coniunc-
tlon with one another. Phvsica'
strength is one of the first necessities
and the girl who has this is quite an,

way are very beautiful on violet velvet
turbans, which may include lace as
well as fur in their make up.
Indeed, never was lace more used on
headgear, and in the delicate Blonde
and BiZantine webs. which are super
seding the heavier weaves for hat
trimmings, one finds the most charm
ing deckings. Especially is this the
case when the fragile laces are cas-
caded al the back, which effect, If
not the newest in the world. is still
sufficiently in demand to be considered
by the smartest milliners.
Wire hats, covered entirely with
these cobweb laGes and trimmed with
narrow edges of sable and crush
roses, are shown by one fashionable
house for evening wear These md
hats of stouter laces, fur trimmed, are
considered much more elegant than
those with only lace furnishings
For morning wear a fiat hat of
plain or fancy cloth. with wing or
quill trimmings, is considered a styl-
ish top-piece for tailor gowns. Such
head covering, when it is properly
made, however, is by no means
cheap. Any price in the teens may
be charged for it. even if only cloth,
a wisp Of velvet and two quilts are
used.
A firm famous for tailor-made head
gear has almost the exclusive sale of
these simple hats. The carefulness
OF their make and the good taste OF
the different styles account for their
costliness.

and dressy hats the afternoon parade

The Bachelor Girls Loneliness.
The loneliness of the girl bachelor
Is stern discipline to which she must
learn to submit a fact that is rarely
considered by the eager girl who comes
to town with the ambition to succeed
in a profession. One of the charms
with which she invests her life in the
big city is the congenial companions
ship, the host of clever friends with
whom she will be in touch. Invaria-
bly, she has come on from some distant
city. South or West, with the idea of
pursuing her chosen work in New
York. She leaves the safe environ
ment of her home and friends and VEN
lures into a strange world that she has
pictured in her Inauguration as an en-
chanted land with genial and OPEN
hearted people. But the reality is
loneliness.
The army of girls that come to New
York each year, seeking employment
which they could frequently find at
home, has never been enumerated 1t
would be a hopeless task to attempt
to estimate the thousands that during
year besiege the stage doors, news
paper offices and studios, for, as a
rule. they select those professions that
that which they feel to be within them.
The Autumnal Invasion of Girls.
The spring sees a goodly number of
these girl emigrants, but the autumn
witnesses the strongest charge of 'he
Elem Girl on the ramparts of fame
and foI tune, as they picture them.
With neat gowns and pretty hats, Of
ten made by their own hands, these
girls throng into the avenues of pro-
fessional life, eager-eyed, earnest and
enthusiastic in the pursuit of the ideal
that possesses them.
They are vastly interesting and pic
turesque, representing, as they do, an
entirely new phase of femininity--the

tons are far in the background from

Even manicuring stands ahead of
dressmaking in the favor of girls anx-
ious to do things. Typewriting and
stenography have displaced school
teaching as a choice with girls, for it
takes less time to fit them for the
work. while returns are quicker and
yield better results. The Pretty Type
writer, at first taken as a joke, in re-
ality opened the door of the strenuous
life for women.
The Rush OverdOne.
But the tremendous rush of girls for
the metropolis in search of work has
been very much overdone; and besides
the coming of girls themselves, bushels
of letters arrive each day to editors
and writer's, asking for opportunities
and chances in various fields. Girls
entirely unequipped for the struggle Of
work push on valiantly to the citadel,
and one out of twenty survive.
Very few of these girls are actually
poor and in need of work They start

SOME NAMES FOR BIBLES.
They Are So Called Because of Err

They Are So Called Because of Err
rOrs Made While Printing Them.
The following is a list of certain
Bibles that, for various reasons, are
different from all others. Each Bible
is highly priced and so valuable that
it cannot be the property of ordinary
readers.
The Gutenberg Bible is the earliest
book printed from movable metal
types. 1t is in the Latin language,
and was printed by Gutenberg at
Mentz, in 1850.
The Bug Bible is so-called from it's
rendering of Psalm xvi, verse 81,
Afraid of bugs by night" 1t was
issued in 1851.
The Breaches Bible gets its queer
name from its rendering of Genesis
ILL.,, verse Z: Making themselves
brooches out of fig-leaves.''

there no rosin in Gilead?" Issued in
1909.
The He and She Bible renders
Ruth ill.,, verse Is. thus: ''She went
into the city," The other has it, He
went into the city,
The Thumb Bible gets its name
from its size, being one inch square
and half an inch thick. 1t was issued
in 1870.
The Vinegar Bible is so named be-
cause in the twentieth chapter of Luke

lated, "the Parable of the Vinegar"
Issued in 1717
The Printers Bible is so called be-
cause in Psalm cxix the word printer"
was used instead of the word

The Murderers' Bible translates in
Judge, Chapter xvi, the word murder
ers" instead of ''murmurers." 1t was
issued in 1901.

Taking this unusual style as one ex-
ample of the growing taste for indi-
viduality it is quite evident to the stu
dent of dress that the best costumed
women think out their own clothes.

everything, and. if the woman of ele-
CANT pretention has any aptitude for
