where Are the Women.

Chicago Record-Herald.
Where are all the women? Is the world
in danger of becoming wifeless and daugh-
terless? The celebrated Macedonian cry is
naught in comparison with the cries that
are going up for women. Not long ago an
appeal was sent from Seattle, Wash, to
the mayor of Troy. n. Y, for as many
women as the great laundry center could
spare Seattle is still yearning for women.
The shortage has apparently been unaf-
fected- ~ few days ago the superintendent
of the Kansas State free employment
bureau sent out word that the Sunflower
State needed more women. In an interview
with New York Times correspondent the
superintendent said there were thousands
OF young men in Kansas who owned farms
and wanted wives. but couldn't find any
He had an idea OF making a house-t to- house
search through the great cities of the land
for the purpose of finding women who were
willing TO go TO Kansas and become hap
py wives and mothers. No other means of
supplying the demand for women seemed
open. General appeals had been issued be-
fore, but they had brought few returns

Tail effects for the back of you are in re-
vival, though perhaps some will retoTt that
they have not languished much. Now they
are extended for few inches from bodices,
they are attached TO the skirt band so as
to seem as II part of the bodice, and they
appear IN extensions of the tight skirt yoke.
The last are the newest of the lot. The 9TH
ers recall recent fashions in many cases.
Fur-trimmed tailor gowns may constitute
by mid-winter class by themselves. They
are fine get-ups. Except for the fur, the
models shown are rather severe, a little
stitching or strapping being all the other
ornamentation they bear. The fur comes
at wrists and neck, and often there is a
fur yoke of moderate depth. Perhaps to
make the fashion still more safe from cheap
copying, 1t is decreed that a fur muff to
match the trimming should be carried The
upper portion of fur, being tight about the
throat, is just the bundling up of the throat
that is believed to result in throat troubles.
Take that an excuse for not having a

possibly afford one, any how.

here, If nowhere else, women have a fair
field and no favor.
What use they are making of those op-

Improvement along certain lines.
Every year." said F. N. Doubleday, to
Tribune reporter, I'VE use more and more
of the work of women, and we find that
their work grows better and better. They
improve less rapidly, however, in business
ability. They are 'touchy,' they lack initi-
ative, and have not enough of the common,
everyday faith a man learns ne must have
in dealing with his fellows. In fact,
woman often fears a man will do her
who probably is the very one, If she un-.
derstood his business character. would do
for her the very best possible. Women are
conscientious workers, but let them have
more faith and less conscience, and things
will even up wonderfully for them in DEAL
ing with square business man."
And yet so great a contradiction is wom-
an that this man, who finds in her such a
superabundance of conscience, says that
she is smarter than man 0n the sense
of sharper), that after marriage she be-
comes more SO, until she is the one who
may "do" her trusting publisher.

soft texture, they possess quite enough OF
newness to suit the average shopper.
While tailors are devising all manner of
strappings for the ornamentation Of their
product dressraakers are resorting TO
tricks OF similar nature. Tailors in their
efforts are more limited as to materials than
they were year ago, as much self-strap-
ping is called for. So often they are con-
fined to schemes OF arrangement TO get a
look of novelty. The dressmaker may go
farther aheId for the material, yet hardly
can put up with less striking arrangements.
AS the latter may show contrast in their
strappings. they have decided advantage.
Hint OF this is given in to-days concluding
illustration. Here are blue crepe de
chine trimmed with white valenciennes and
white silk strapping. and a tailored gray
zibelne self-strapped and finished with
black braid. The dressmaker must not re-
sort to strappings that have the look of
tailor finish and that is a decided restric-
ton, one that may explain the comparative
scarcity of strappings in the dressmaker's s
output. ornamental as they invariably are
whenever they appear.
In all recent changes in skirts, and they
have been many, there has been no de-
crease in the fullness. Indeed, with most
every branch of new styles there has been
an increase of width Your skirt of to-
day Of advanced stylishness not only con-
tains a deal of material, but is excessively
full. Skirts of the civil war period, with
their fullness held distended, hardly were
larger.
As the styles of this very time have been
undergoing an overhauling with the fash
ions of the fifty years previous, it should
not surprise If some daring designer-pro-
moter of new fashions should come out with
Endorsement of something that will accom-
plish what the hoop-skirt did. OF course,
it will not have that name or one that will
recall the old one. That would be too un-
pleasant. And it may be no more dreadful

eye In that future empire declares that
Arizona wants several carloads of women
just as soon as she can get them Ari-
Zona lays down no provoking conditions.
The gentleman who voices her appeal says:
I'VE are not particular about their looks
or age just so they are women" No doubt
good and beautiful women would be pre-
ferred even in Arizona, but beggars cannot
be choosers. Continuing. the Arizona man
draws this distressing picture of conditions
out there:
Thousands of cattle are standing knee
deep in alfalfa, the land is rich and the
young men are thrifty and prosperous. But
they can't get wives. There are not women
enough to go around"
If this shortage of women were confined
to Kansas and Seattle and Arizona we
might look upon Ii merely as a species of
local trouble. But apparently there is a
scarcity OF women everywhere. People are
unable to get cook ladies, wash ladies, or
any other kind of ladies to assist in the
homes. This is as true in Evanston and
Boston and Pawtucket as il is in Seattle
and Topeka and Buckeye, Ariz. So we come
again TO the question, Where are the
women? What has become of them? Where
does the trouble lie? Has the stork been
displaying partiality for boy babies, or
what is the mater? Surely something is
wrong somewhere. Can 1t be possible tha t

Most OF this finish has considerable width,

The bands may be cloth, but they should
be ornamented lavishly, for skimping here
is likely to announce itself unpleasantly in
the finished product Embroidery of bright
.coloring is much seen here, and often its
contrast with. the dress goods is accentuated
by having the bands on which ii is put also
in contrast. Much white cloth banding is
used, with fully half its surface hidden
by its ornamentation. Braid is TO be used
very freely. but in small sizes and in de-
signs OF modest proportions. Much of il is
accompanied by ornaments with one or
more pendants. The trick of using knots
in threes was noted. and the same fancy
holds with braid ornaments, whose trios
are repeated In new gowns with curious
persistency. In braid as used on bodices

To Some Woman.

So tries a woman not q wife
AS when she's reached that point In years
point which every maiden fears
When she is first referred to as
A wonan-not a girl. She has
No pride in that, as does boy
Who hears himself called man with JOY,
But shrnks from 1t in silent dread
And hates to think the word was said.
She looks into her glass to see
A symptom of senility;
But to her eyes no sign appears
OF wreckage by the flood Of years,
And. reassured, forgets it then,
To feel IL more when heard again.
AS years are added to the years
That never yet have stopped. she hears
Herself called woman oftener,
And still IL does not bring to her
gladstone sense; she still will call
Herself a girl; biting gall
Is in the other word, and she
Rejects Ii almost spitefully.
Times wheel goes on around: IL whirls
In very truth. but still ''Us girls
Is dear to her, though doubts and fears
Assail her she counts the years
Un undertones)-till after while
She sees some thoughtless person smile
To hear her say 1t; then she sighs,
And sadly comes to realize
What was is not; what is must be;
But even yet she timidly
Accepts herself as woman-and
They comfort her who understand.

tion is likely to appear before very long.
No alarmist view need be held of this pros
pect. Women kept the haircloth notions
within reasonable bounds, and can recall
their pleasure in the light, unlined skirts
that quickly followed. So they can be de-
