WOMEN IN SCHOOLS.

Virginia woman is making appii- cation for the position of county sup erintendent of schools in her native State. She is Miss Alice Maud Blaho of King and Queen county whose superintendency has been vacated py the death of the recent incumoehI
 The Richmond paper which announ- oos +he innovation, says that "the State Board of Education will have to be SC ,,ngaIlant as to reject the applicant bacuse the law makes her ineligible m account of sex" though it adds "shs Is we'll endorsed
 The question of the eligibility or "o- men to similar positions in Alabama was sprung at the last convention ol the Alabama Federation, when MISS Julia Tutwiler, replying to reques, for information replied that she nao been told 1t would take Philadelphia lawyer to define the AlaoaIha Id d~s that related to women
 The law as it stands today leaves the question open-if not the position in Alabama. .r~,.
 As vet it has not been tested, though Mir I w. Abercrombie and MT. l. w. Hill have had frequently express cd themselves as favoring the educa- tionallv qualified women superlnten' dent of county schools
 It has been suggested that oy nav ing these positions in the state oiS' rributed between efficient men ana women. the reports to the central sup erintendency at the capitol would cover more broadly and move in detat the entire field of labor among th' children of the State. and that th' tendency would be to strengthen wha' is good in our system, and to remedy what is deficient.

HOTTEST DAY OF YEAR.
Temperature in Montgomery Wen
 Above O0.

Temperature in Montgomery Went
 Above O6.
 The temperature here yesterday as recorded by the Weather Bureau was 9e.5 degrees which is the highest re- corded this year
 The previous high temperatures for the year were 955 degrees on July 18th. The highest during August was 93.s degrees on the 23rd., and in June, 95 degrees on the 18th.
 Wednesday afternoon temperatures of 100 degrees were recorded at sov- eral points in Middle Alabama and sim liar readings were reached at several stations in this State yesterday.
 This is unseasonably warm weath- CT for this time of the year, and is doubtless due to natures attempt to balance the deficiency in temperature that existed in this region for the sum- mer months.
 Coming so close behind such pleas ant summer makes the present heat more trying than 1t would be ordinar- lily,

of marine blue voile, with the full skirt showing the three wide tucks from the knee down. The short bolero has wide. soft silk girdle attached to 1t in the back. but the fronts are entirely separate. These fronts are straight and fall just over the bust where they meet the girdle.
 The narrow vestee is of white linen crash embroidered in pistachio green pil- Jules, enlivened by a thread of gold. The scalloped edges of this vest are trimmed with fine narrow lace. the same lace being used in the wider width for the sleeve ruffies.
 Nothing moro graceful than these sleeves can be imagined. They reach only below the elbow. and are finished with a deep, faring, turnover cuff. from which point the lace ruff1e falls over the hand. The narrow. tight cuff and full puff of the white satin shirtwaist form the cov- ering for the lower part of the arm.
 An unusually attractive tailor-made seen at a morning musical held recently among the fashionable elect was made Jf ficelle siciIienne. with the double skirt ef- feet The Eton is short in the back. with points in front: a deep crush girdle of gros-grain, feather-boned. reaches half way to the armholes The upper part of the skirt is box-plaited and stitched down a short way. The underskirt "a treated in similar manner and finished with a velvet binding. Deep ruff1es or lace finish the sleeve. and little piped and boullounee bands are used as trimming accessories.
 Another graceful model was seen in a delicate shade and soft material. The sleeve is set into the long shoulder line. and the skirt into the waistband in a se- ries of shirred outings. which accord well with a slender figure. The Eton is short to the waist line. decorated with a fancy white and gold braid, the fronts turning back to show satin reveres sim ilarly trimmed. The skirt is cut in al- most plain breadths shirred in yoke shape, falling thence in full folds to the feet.

 The Eton, the bolero and the blouse are the prevailing styles shown in the short jacket which accompanies the suit, whether 1t be of the dress or the walking variety. The Eton and the. bolero have been out of style long enough to have the element of newness, besides which they are fitted forms of the short jacket, and to succeed the corset coat they seem a natural sequence.
 Furthermore, Paris is in favor of the eton and bolero for spring and summer. To be sure Paris shows the blouse jackets. but then Paris makes for the ir
