Concerning Workine Girls.


ing. If one must work, a trade, or a
knowledge of half dozen, is the best
Of educations. The Pascal institute
SIC Lexington avenue, which has done
great good during its life so far, Is
being made still more useful this sea-
son. Its president, Miss Margaret
Pascal, and its patrons, among whom
are Mrs. Coils P. Huntington. Miss
Grace e. Dodge aud Mrs. Russell Sage,

gers, and several women well known
in work for philanthropie purposes viii
serve. The sole object of this excel
lent school is to train girls who na;ur-
ally go to work at IA, as cash, errand
or shop girls, to fit themselves as
dressmakers or to do plain sewing.
Some of the church sewing schools
have sent their graduates to the Pascal
school for further instruction. An ex-
cellent feature is the formation of an
alumnae association, designed to main
tain friendships between the gradu-
ates and foster interest in the school.
An institution very useful in more
ways than one is the immigrant girls
home at 9 oLate street. New York city,
carried on by Methodists; as another
home, differing in many respects. but
also excellent, is carried on by Roman
Catholics. The Roman Catholic
home, however, interests itself mainly
in seeing that the immigrant Qrish)
girls are kept from harm and started
rightly for their several destinations,
while the Methodist home is really a
training school, where girls are taught
to eat properly, to dress themselves
neatly. and it is hoped that school
where housework in its various
branches may be taught them for a
few months is one of the possibilities
of the year. Miss Corbin, deaconess
Of the home, has been bending all her
energies toward such home. She is
quoted as saying that Finnish girls,

numbers, make the very best of serv-

Total Abstinence Growing Popular.
Mrs. Mary II. Hunt, the head of the
education department in The w omans
Christian temperance union, has re-
turned to Boston after trip as speak
states, and says that "the evidence
shows that a wider intelligence as to
the evil nature of alcohol is beginning
tc tell against its beverage use" To
the question, rs the Woman's Chris
tian temperance union losing ground ?"
Mrs. Hunt replied "Oh, no, it is gu tie
the contrary. There is everywhere
evidence of it's growth and increasing
strength. especially in the most hope
full of all temperance work, that of edu-
cation of the young in the physiologl-
cal reasons for total abstinence and

Fall Coats.
The designers have evidently not
only been studying historical cos
tunes, but old fashion plates of the
last century, to find hints. They have
borrowed largely from the Louis XIV.
period, and, again, loose pelisse, with
enormous sleeves, popular about the
time of the Franco-Prussian war,
seems to be the source of inspiration.
This latter shape is perhaps better in
velvet than in silk.
It is such a simple shape that il
need to be made of rich materials.
The sack part, reaching halfway 10
the knees, is shaped to the figure to
suggest, if not to define it. The
sleeves widen until they reach a cir
conference of yard or more at the
bottoms, where they turn up in large
cuffs. There is high. turnover col
lar, and the fronts of the coat turn
over 10 make revers. A most notice
able model in this shape is made or
purple velvet with the large cuffs and
the revers of white satin on which
white velvet figures are appliqued.
The same shape in a heavy black silk
has revers and cuffs of ermine.
The Louis XIV. coats are more CO
que5tish. They are pretty in tucked
silk. with the tucks released about a
foot from the bottom of the garment
to allow the silk to fare out excessive
ly. This garment fits the figure, and
there are faring cuffs and high, turn
over collar.--New York Tribune.
