distinguished pianiste; Mr.. Ben Davies the
noted English tenor.
I'm years gone BY repeated efforts were
made to establish a Washington Symphony
Orchestra, but in each instance the plan
failed, owing to the lack Of proper support.
That we have an orchestra at the present
time is entirely due to the generosity and
public spirit of few guarantors, who are
contributing literally in order to insure
against the possibility of financial losses.
1t cannot be reasonably expected that these
ladies' and gentlemen will continue year
after year to bear the burden Of expense,
which should be shared alike by all stu
dents and lovers of music.
Show your appreciation Of the deter
mined efforts which are being made on all
sides to give Washington an organization,
of which 1t may be prouder as the years
roll on, by subscribing literally for seats.
Now is the time to support US! Every seat
in the house Is reserved and the prices
range from IS cents to 500. If you have
any pride in the musical future of Wash
ington do rot delay with your subscription,
for this is the hour when 1t must be demon
strated satisfactorily to the management OF
the orchestra whether it is to continue an
other season or not"

Vogue of Linen

White linen gowns are, II possible
more fashionable now than they have
been at any time, for the cool weather
that prevails makes them more COM
Portable than the Thin muslins and pa-
tistes which at this season are, as a
rule, the only possible ones. Not only
is there coat and skirt to match, but
the waist also is of the same material,
and bargain hunters now find a splen-
did opportunity for the exercise OF
their skill. In all the shops there are
to be found at this time pattern waists,
that is the material for waists, not made
up, and among these are many that
can be bought at a very low price
a half, even a third less than was ask
ed six weeks ago. The material is OF
the best. The pattern can be chosen
to suit the individual taste, and then
it is a wise plan to choose for the ma
terial to be used in d coat and skirt
linen that will exactly match.
In buying these patterns waists as
in buying pattern robes, care must
be taken to choose a material that Is
not too heavy and that does not have
TOO much chessing," as it Is called
Too heavy a linen makes gown thai
is not at all comfortable to wear
Even for coat and skirt lightweight
is the best.

Packing a Trunk

There is a right and wrong way Of
doing everything. In particular, there
are right and wrong ways in packing
trunks.
In the first place you ought to do
your packing leisurely. Very few
things can be successfully done in a
hurry. and this is not among them.
Books, music and other things of the
kind YOU may want along may form
n hot, layer. Next, put in your lin
gerie. petticoats and dress skirts. BE
careful how you fold the latter. Don't
nave a. crease down the middle of the
front gore. Fold it so that the front
lies fat, and spread it out the width OF
the trunk. Fold over the top to get IN
tbe excess length, and tuck a roll of
paper in the fold.
Have plenty of soft tissue paper on
hand. and by its means pun out an the
fun sleeves and fluffy bows-anything'
in fact. which would hurt by pelne
crushed. In this manner II is wen 10
stun all lingerie waists.
1t is better to put the latter IN .ray
and pin them so that they cannot SNAKE
around.
Shirtwaists may be laid fiat as 1hes
are easily renovated with fiat IRON,
BE sure that all the corners are hlleu
otherwise your good packing goes loi
nothing. For this purpose stockings
and other odds and ends Of tha' KIM
may be utilized.

Poor Girls for Wives

Judging from what one man says, it
is a mistake to think that young men
do not want poor girls as wives. This
mans views are as follows:
Il have TO fight my way IN the world
so l want a wife who will help me on.
Jessie knows what poverty Is; she
won't imagine she is suffering from It
in a home which is merely comforta-
bic, not luxurious. She will value
her home and will not mind working
to keep it nice and pretty. She knows
the value of money, so l need not fear
her frittering mine. Many wives ruin
their husbands by trying TO live in the
same style as they did before mar
riage but on a much less income. Ny
wife will have no traditions OF gran
deur to live up to, and the home give
her will be luxurious in comparison
with what she has had, so she is sure
to be content with it."

for business houseA one OF the most
successful Of these saleswomen is not

THE women who have made a success
On the road" she said recently, are
the women who would have made a
success in any line OF work they took
up. There is the rank and file in
every business. but l think that fewer
women 90 on the road now than did a
few years ago.
Men do not regard the woman COM
mercial traveller with favor, and many
houses employ them simply as an ao-
vertisemenL to attract attention 70
their goods and make them talked
about in the small towns. other houses
refuse to have woman represent
them on the road and there are SUI
