A fact which she did not know and which
would have saved her much confusion is
that it's fad Of the smart New York girl
this year to wear the most elaborate Of
pale hued and bright hued footwear on

The girl Of 1900 began to accept her feet
as facts. She liked to wheel and to play
golf, and she found it impossible to do these
things in a correct sportsmanlike way and
longer disguise the fact that her method
OF getting about was identical with that
used by her brothers. So fearless and
dauntless has she become since she started
on the common sense road that this fall
she not only recognizes her feet as reason
able and good to look upon, but actually
regards them with enthusiasm.
She dresses them beautifully and admires
them constantly, and may even family
surmise that they are also admired by
others, though Of this she does not give q
hint as she picks her way daintily around

1t is surely short step from yachting
stockings to football st ockings, and already,
so long before the great Thanksgiving
games, one OF the most exclusive shops
in New York has a display of black silk

colors. These flags are embroidered in
silk cross stitch up from the instep about
three inches.
There is the Yale blue flag with a white Y.

HE'S PATRON or GARDENS, TOO.
Andrew Carnegie's Prizes Making Flowers
Bloom in Massachusetts.

Andrew Carnegie Is known the world
over as donor Of libraries, but few persons
are aware that he is also the patron of a
number of beautiful gardens at Northamp-
ton and Florence, Mass.
Some time ago George W. Cable, the
originator of the home culture clubs at
Northampton, was discussing with Mr..
Carnegie the object OF these clubs. He
explained that they were intended to be
an uplifting influence. an inspiration lead
ing their members to love the beautiful
and the intellectual.
Mr.. Carnegie wished to do something
to assist in the work and at last thought

that the cultivation of flowers went long

This should not for moment be regarded
as a whim of few misguided girls who
believe that to be conspicuous is to be fash

the best dressed, most absolutely correct

ties are knotted four-in-hand instead OF
Ascot and their belts are four inches deep
instead OF an eighth Of an inch.
Naturally, this fad has brought into fash

footwear. This season a girl shops as
carefully and thoughtfully for her shoes
and stockings as for her coats and dresses,
for they must be in absolute harmony with
the costume, either Of the same color or

embroidery or lace or ribbon trimming.

MISS AZEEZ FROM SYRIA.
PLANS or AN ENERGETIC YOUNG
WOMAN FROM THE EAST.

She Wrote an Ode When She Was and
Has Been writing and lnventing Things
Ever Since-NOw She Is LeOturing
Here ind Earning Her Own Living.
From the time was years old wanted
to come to America" said Miss Alice Azeez,
native Of Syria, born and educated in
Beirut, who is now on her way to the West
ern States TO give series Of talks in costume
on Life in the Orient"
A talk with Miss Azeez is bound to upset
some fixed notions about the women Of the
Orient. In some respects she is the most
surprising, as she is certainly the most
enterprising, young Syrian woman now in
this country. When she gave two talks in
New York last winter, by request of Mrs.
Russell Sage and others, those who met her
were quite unprepared to find such pluck
and enterprise in woman from the Far
East.
Although there is unmistakable Oriental
languor in eye, voice and manner. not the
most indomitable New Yorker ever showed
more ardor in chasing success and the Amer
lean dollar than Miss Azeez and there are
very few women of her age that can do
more things to make money, or do them
better.
For instance Miss Azeez has just finished
writing book about Syrian girls life in
America, which, she says, will be published
next winter. She has written also many
descriptions of Oriental life, including in
terpretations of the works OF noted Arabic
poets and teachers, that have received favor

WOMAN'S WORK.

The woman upholsterer is an instance Of
woman's invasion Of pursuits commonly
accounted mans business. She works by
the day or by the job. repairs and renovates
furniture, and often is able to supply val
liable hints to her patrons. She learned
her trade from the making of slip covers
for warm weather use.
Another version OF the furniture worker
is the woman who paints sets Of furniture
in simple designs. She not only decorates
the newly made sets, but treats long used
or dingy furniture.
Card sign painting and the lettering Of
bills and notices for window displays and
other trade uses is another field for deft
,, women workers. More and more Of the
little placards are being used, and the ability
to inscribe them neatly and tastefully is a
knack entirely distinct and apart from the
window dresser's vocation.
A young artist does efficient work also
in designing and lettering the signs for
buildings. The sign may be intended to
call attention to the particular door at
which parcels are to be delivered or merely
say that there is an apartment to let but
it must be graceful and we'll executed to
correspond with the character Of the build
ing.
Corset making and altering is an occupa-
ton which a considerable number Of women
are pursuing lately with success.
A few years ago there would have been
slight demand for such business. Now
even the shopper Of limited means wants
her corsets made to order.
Not few Of the women successful at the
business have originated make Of corset

and have profited thereby. being able to
