Those New BIouses

The new transparent 'blouses all re-
quire a silk slip. They are made of new
and charming materials. Light pink
and cream are the colors that tine smart
dressers are likely to AFFECT, declares
an up-to-date fashion writer. A great
many OF the blouses are made with
large collars, falling in points on the
shoulders, others have tucked yoke
with insertions let in to give them
shape. A good many of the sleeves
have very wide gauntlet bands, but
some in thin materials are after the
bishop order, but not quite the same,
and good deal trimmed across the ell
bow and above 1t, with insertions let
in. Straps OF velvet fastened by some
of these satin drops figure on many Of
the collar and lace trimmings adorn-
ing the blouses and bodices. Some Of
the blouses with deep collars starting
from round the shoulders. have cross
cut 1ounces above the elbows of the
sleeves. wondered what was the pc
culiar charm OF so many of these
bodices. and / came to the conclusion
it was this new glistening effect intro
duced on to the mousselines. The Ten
eriffe laces are inserted a good deal on
the new shirts One thing is certain,
YOU must either have deep lace trans
iparert collar band or none at ALL which
by the by, is sadly detrimental TO the
neck

MORE ABOUT HATS

is all to be said in it's favor for there
are few women beautiful enough to
look we'll in these two colors.
with the palest pink and blue light
heliotrope and mauve are used and
with violet magenta. All these are, so
to speak, most risky color schemes
and not to be rashly followed, for it
takes a most artistic taste to carry
them satisfactorily and also. be it well
understood the most expensive ma
terials, for in none of the cheaper fab
rics can be found the right shades.
Both rough and smooth straws are
fashionable, and the dull and bright
satin finish are alike in form. Pure
white hats and all shades from ivory
to burnt yellow are used. while black
and colored hats are equally popular.
In short. it would seem necessary to
have many different styles and colors
made to present the desired appear
ance of being clothed in an absolutely
up-to-date fashion.

WOMAN',S REALM
Occupations of Women

The Industrial sphere Of women is con-
|stantly enlarging. and Of late years wo-
|men have been invading every line Of en-
|ployment. From the returns Of the last

'rate occupations reported there are only
height in which women workers fail to ap-
pear It is not surprising that there are
|no women among une soldiers, sailors and
'marines Of the United States Government,
|yet there are 1853 women employed as
|''boatmen" and sailors.
Women have not yet invaded the ranks
. of the city fire departments; still not less
than $40 women are returned IN the same
general class OF ''watchmen. policemen
i and detectives"
There are no women street car drivers,
though there are two women 'motormen'
land thirteen women conductors.
Women have not as yet taken up the
employment Of telegraph and telephone
I'linemen," yet %, 800 of them are operators
for these companies.
There are no women apprentices and
helpers among the roofers and slaters. yet
1.-TWO women are returned as engaged in
these employmen:s.
