light shades work up we'll against white,
especially il there is dash of black.
Coronation Feathers.
| Coronation feathers make their ap-
pearance even in such insignificant af-
! fairs as fobs and stocks, and the thres
gracefully bent plumes wave their bright
shades above a coronet of black. Many
of these washable fobs represent a part
of set which consists of two other
articles-stock and belt. On each of
these the same design appears.
For instance, if 1t is a plume-em-
broidered set, then the ascot. or tiny
bow stock, will show the design worked
in colors just above the tie, directly
in front. On the belt the pattern ap-
pears three times. on each side of the
small gun metal buckle and again at the
back. The entire set is extremely pretty,
for there is not enough of the embroid-
cry to make it appear burdened with
the pattern.
The belts which belong to such sets
are quite narrow. narrower even in the
front than anywhere else, and the two
pointed ends slip through the double
buckle in rather an unusual manner.
With duck or linen skirts nothing pret-
tier or more suitable in the way of
waist osnanent can possibly be found
than these cotton belts. Besides. they
are extremely cool and have the great
advantage OF withstandirg thorough
Tubing. In these belts there are pretty
pompadour effects, with moire straps
and enameled flower slides. while polka
dots enter into other charming styles.
Pale blue spots. with a rim Of black

outlined with black on a solid color.

A Fob for Every Sport.
For the young woman who is fond Of
sports there are several pretty effects
which are sure to strike her fancy.
Bits. horseshoes. crops, stirrups, and
whips dangle from the ends of narrow
folded ribbons or bands of washable
fabric, while plain metal buckle to
match the pendant ornament catches
the end of the fob. Yachting. golting,
riding, and, in fact. all 4 nds of sports
will find their accompanying fobs and
stocks in this sensible washable style.

and linen duck ornamented with fancy
braids and occasionally showing vests
and revers OF color While the Eton is

characterizes every line and detail Of the

ter plated models. either with very
broad box plaits or else deep side ones
and few present the popular circular
flounced skirt having slight train in
the back.
A pretty white cloth seen in the shops
the other day would be stunning for
Newport wear. 1t had an attached cir
cular 1ounce which was sealloped
around the bottom and piped with cadet
blue. The plated blouse gave the broad
shouldered effect SO weil liked and the
outer edges of the converging folds were
scalloped and piped to match the skirt.
A broad collar of white presented the
same finish and cadet blue shield and
stock lent very charming bit of solid
color to the whole. The sleeves were
extremely odd. being slashed from deep
cuff to shoulder, scalloped and piped
with blue over an inset of white cloth
which was laid in box plait showing
the entire length. and at the cuff falling
in a soft puff. More scallops and blue
piping trimmed this cuff which was fas
tened with large pearl buttons.

successful operation of such a project
One lady declared that in her opinion a
good way to solve the servant problem
would be to train the mistress. House
keeping is an art understood by few
said she. "and while there are few real
ly competent housekeepers there are
many fussy ones. The standards which
should prevail In the home are cleanli-
ness, comfort. and beauty. No one who
has tried 1t will underestimate the diff
hculty OF obtaining these ideals. Life
is often dismal struggle to the woman
who Is lacking in ability to manage and
direct her servants. In this day and
generation our life is daily becoming
more complicated. consequently house
keeping standards become higher and
less simple. By all means train the
mistress and save this ruinous wear
upon temper and nerves."
The opinion was also expressed In an
other quarter that adequate manual
training, such as prevails in European
countries. would go far to Danish the
inefficient drudge and to replace her
with the well-equipped maid who would
have acquired sense OF the dignity OF
household work when skillfully and con-
scientiously performed.

tention was called to this organization
which seemed to be working upon wise
and logical basis. 1t has been in ex-
istence for several years and has been
decided success. Why should 1t not
work as well in Washington? Surely.
Washington housewives-all who employ
domestics-those. in moderate circum-
stances upon whom the burden OF house
keeping falls heavily. even more than
the very rich. are vitally interested in
this question.
II trust that the time will come when
the Legislature will take this matter
Up and establish by law the relations
which must exist between the house
servant and her employer. An investiga-
tion of the methods. the constitution
and bylaws OF the German Housewives
Of New York has suggested to us many
valuable ideas which We shall adopt in
modified form. Understand that this
movement Is only In its inception and
therefore no verv definite information
can be given ut this time.
II can outline our plans as we have
mapped them out. In the first place we

and unjust employer will not be tolerat-
ed as a member. | have already received
several letters from girls who are deep
ly interested In knowing more OF our
society.
The society is still In its infancy.
and. therefore, 1t Is impossible to define
very clearly its scope. 1t is to be hoped
that Washington women who have the
common interest of conserving harmon
ious relations between themselves and
their servants will join us In our ef-
forts. which have ths single aim of
bringing about the best conditions for
both parties. A rational business basis
should underlie this relation between
wage learner and employer. This would
obviate much of the friction which is so
destructive to the domestic machinery
A definite statement should be made of
the duties and services required of the
maid and of the privileges which are ac-
corded her"

hope to rent house to occupy as head
quarters. In this house accommodations
would be provided for servants in good
standing who are temporarily out OF
employment. An excellent suggestion
has been made to provide also a home
for servant girls who arc too old for
active service and who. as is often pitt
fully true, have lost their little all. the
hari earned savings Of lifetime.
I'm order to promote good service and
to counteract the unfortunate tendency
among laboring women to remain only a
short time in a place-that spirit of
restlessness and change which is de-
moralizing to the mistress who has be-
slowed infinite pains in teaching the
girl her way OF doing things-in order
say. to counteract this tendency it is
proposed to offer reward to the girl
who proves satisfactory and who re-
mains In the same place reasonable
length OF time; for instance. a girl who
has acceptably filled position for two
years, to receive n reward OF 500. for
three years faithful service $50. for
four years As. for ten years 800. etc.

young women are choosing fobs Of al
most every variety. Nearly all are or
namented with fancy buckles and slides
and frequently the tab at the end dis
plays some quaint embroidery design.
Mercerized cotton, pique, and linen are
used in the popular blues, pinks, whites,
buffs. and lavenders. few of the
slides are enameled In college colors.
and the fob, of course, Is OF some shade
which contrasts prettily with the bright
blue of Columbia. the deeper one of
Yale, the rich crimson OF Harvard. or
the unmistakable yellow of Princeton.
The Dindigul.
Moire silk neatly stitched twice around
the edge makes pretty effect for show
ing off these popular slides. and then
there is no need OF fancy embroidery de-

a curious Oriental character worked
boldly In bright colors outlined with
black. On white mercerized cotton the
design is decidedly effective. Black and
