September Number New Idea
Woman's Magazine.

The women who clamor for advice
how to turn their time and talents to ac-
receive many valuable hints
from the series of articles entitled Pro
fitable Industries for Women, which
is begun in the September number of
the NEW IDEA WOMAN S MAGAZINE under
the heading Of Poultry raising, from
the pen of Sarah f, Slater. The new de-
partment of Correct Dress for Men,
also begun in the September issue and
contributed by Hawthorne, a we'll
known authority in haberdashery, bids
fair to be of paramount Importance in
this periodical, because many women do
much of the shopping for the men of their
families and are glad to have sugges-
tions. Every item in the September
number, either technical or fctional, Is
of more than passing interest.
