Why Women Work for Wages.

1t would seem supertluous to ask
why women are wage-earners. But
there is never day that somewhere
in this broad land a preacher, a work
ingman, a statistician, or a college
professor does not discourse on the
wage earning woman as though she
were a perverse creature, indulgins
her fling az old-time conventions and,
in consequence. upsetting Things mas.
culine in a way that is not only hard
for the individual man worker to
bear, but which is also subversive of
fundamental props of the good old
time.
Whose fault is it that the woman
works? If it be crime or wrong,
she is guiltless, for mans laws say
she must not take her own life, and her
only choice is between that or engag.
ing in gainful occupation. She works
because her father was or is incom
petent or a drunkard or unthrifty. or
what is known as poor business man,
or because he married when he should
not have done so, or, along with fel.
low men, he carried the home in
dustres out of the home and made
them the activities of great factories.
In the last analysis it will be found
that it is always man who is to be

never concerned about whether or
not the particular business possibility
is pre-eminently feminine, the only
consideration with them being, how it
will pay? The father will sym

Tiny Feet No Longer Desirable.


Time was when to have tiny feet
was the great desire of all womankind,
The athletic girl has changed all that
and by the next generation feminine
eXtremities will have grown to almost
classical dimensions. As ii is shape
not size. that makes or mars the beau
ty of foot, this evolution is very de
sirable, proving as it does that the
change is owing to the healthy outdoor
life of the modern girl, She is so
much on her feet that she does not
think of squeezing her feet into shoes
a size too small for her. Never was
footwear prettier than it is at present
Well shaped shoes are within the lin
its of the most modest income, and as
for the stockings, they are simply
dreams. With the demand for larger
shoes the stockings have also grown
in size until where s, Sl2 and 9 were
worn five years ago the call today is
for 91a and 1015.
Our sisters of the tlowery kingdom
would open their sleepy almond eyes
in horror could they see the heroic pro
portions of their western sisters pedal
eXtremities. but we must strive to
keep our minds above criticism, and
be content with quality, letting guam
tity take care of itself.

For Our Girls.

No indoor exercise, however good,
takes the place of gymnastics In the
open air. Our girls are beginning to
realize this fact more and more every
year, but there is still room for i'm.
provement.
A high school teacher. Sunday
school teacher, or some woman who is
interested enough to take the time can
do wonders for the pleasure and profit
of the young people in whom she is in
terested.
Our love for and interest in these
young lives must be active good to
them, not passive sentiment. Perhaps
the way some are working out the plan
may give suggestions which will help
to form similar clubs.
The girls are organized in squads
numbering about ten-occasionally
less Each squad has a captain who is
held somewhat responsible. She
keeps track Of starting time, distance

Nenliaees for All.

We are still taking lessons in the art
of dress from the French, and one
that we are but beginning to learn Is
the value of the negligee. OF its
charm and beauty We need not to be
taught But many of us think we can
not afford it. Whereas when we have
fully mastered our lessons we will
know a negligee is a milestone on the
road to economy.
The French woman never wears her
street dresses in the house, never
lounges in her good frocks She knows
they will lose their shapeliness II she
does. Indeed she has dainty little
room frocks to slip on for those hours
when she will be undisturbed.
With the prices now prevailing in
the shops for all manner of pretty
fabrics, these negligees are within the
reach of all. Comfortable and dainty
little garments can be fashioned from
low-priced lawns, and quite exquisite
affairs can be built if one picks and
chooses carefully, says the Philadel.
phia Telegraph.
The kimono has long been a favorite
for the negligee. With care and good
taste the ordinary Nmono may be
made a most dainty and picturesque
robe, and the lovely lowered stuffs of
this season are peculiarly adapted to
it, The shirred yoke across the back
and shoulders makes a kimono more
becoming to a thin figure.
The all-whte craze has extended to
the province of the negligee, and no
boudoir gown is considered quite so
chic as one of white lavishly adorned
with lace or embroidery, or both. The
rage for finest batiste and Swiss en-
broideries has brought them forward
as rivals to lace for negligee trimming,
but lace is unQuestionably more be
coming, and even when embroidery is
the main feature of the robe, touches
of lace are almost invariably intro
duced at the throat.
The summer boudoir gown is gen
orally low at the throat, but the broad
IOlldl, bp6HIuS N-sllstI'Sd IL llohI ahN
lying flat about the base of the throat,
is seldom becoming. though it appears
upon nine out of ten of the ready-made
negligees. A square or round demi'
decolletae is more becoming, and if the
broad collar is wanted it may end on
either side of square tucker or chem.
isette in front.
If a ready-made negligee with the
V-shaped front opening is the most
practicable resources for woman
t5ut is unbecoming to her. little trans
parent, adjustable guimpe of net or of
lace, harmonizing with the trimming
of the gown, will often work wonders
and make the negligee becoming with
out rendering it hot and uncomfortable.
Many a woman, unwilling to bother
about making such a guimpe, is con
tent to wear a lounging gown, which,
pretty in itself makes her look her
worst but not to look charming in a
dainty negligee is the objectionable
sin.
On a pretty throat the narrow band
of black velvet ribbon, which is once
more a popular fad, is becoming acces,
sorry to the low collar negligee. An
other revival of the fashions of yester-
year, the fichu, is an adorable negli-
gee accessory, yet is not altogether
practicable, because it rumples and
gets out Of shape easily.
