The Business Woman's Dress,


The business woman should always
dress like one, and the women behind
the counter in New York store having
exclusively carriage trade can we'll serve
as models, since some of them have re.
tanned their position for years. Possibly
the first impression of the shopper from
the interior is the noticeable absence Of
jewelry. Beyond single very modest
ring and quiet shirt-waist buttons, the
New York business women wears no
jewelry during business hours. Neither
is her hair "done up" in the latest down
dropping pompadour or with neck curl
for, while arranged in the prevailing
mode, she does not affect the ultra
fashionable that few devotees of society
find becoming. The well-bred business
woman does not wear collarless shirt
waist, for the day is never 80 warm that
she forgets her appearance in public,
and the thoughtless one who might sug-
gest that she turn down the neckband,
as her cousin Mamie in Jayville does,
would receive contemptuous glance
and be apt to hear some reference to the
Bowery. The shirt waist itself will be
in the latest style, and if not white linen
for black silky will be such quiet color
ing and pattern the only impression will
be its suitability and good taste. 1t GER
tainly will not have elbow sleeves. Her
mohair skirt just clears the floor and
her shoes do not have French heels.
One often feels impelled to speak in all
kindness to the pretty young girls who
clerk in small towns, suggesting to them
the glaring improperly of their dress
and imploring them to leave off the lace
and-ribbon bedecked corset cover, filmy,
low-necked waist, numerous bracelets,
lockets, brooches, and stick pins till
evening. The desire manifested for
diamond rings by typewriter operators
amounts almost to mania, yet no man
of good breeding or taste admires a
woman whose jeweled fingers pound out
hard business facts. If the ring is from
the zone and only" wear it in a chamois
pocket over your heart, under your dress
it is much more romantic and in in
finitely better taste.-The Pilgrim.
