she. did as Mrs Arthur Kemp. The
bloom has come back to her cheeks and
her eyes have lost that tired express
sion which used to attract attention
before her divorce. There is no. doubt
she is as deeply in love with her new
husband as he is with her. They are
more like youthful sWeethearts than
experienced matrimonialists.5 Mr.. and
Mrs. Hunneweu have been keeping out
of sight since the. beginning of the
honeymoon, which, by the way, has
lasted an unusually long time, but are
now back in the full glare of society's
limelight.
Lace making as a means of elevating
the young peasant girls in Northern
Italy, as we'll as giving them another
method of livelihood, has been intro
dueed by the Waldensian Society of
New York, of which Bishop David H.
Greer is president Only one way of
earning a living has been open to the
Italian girls, and that was hard work
in the fields, where they forced
to labor under the scorchihg sun. But
now that lace making has been intro
duced by Miss Sibyl Carter. Under the
auspices of the society, tie peasant
girls are so anxious to learn an easier
and pleasanter method of money max
ing that many are turned away because
of lack of accommodation They prove
themselves apt pupils. and - do some
artistic work. Lace collars, lace trim
ming and lace for all dress and deco
rative purposes are made from original
designs. And the young peasant girls
show such rare aptitudesf for lace
making that they bid fair to rival the
work of the famous Swiss lace makers.
AS president. of the tce,ensumers'
League Mrs. Frederick Nathan has
some funny experiences with children
who try to evade the child labor laws.
She says when coming out of a down.
town theater the other night she espied
small "newsy" offering papers for
sale at 1870 o'clock. Always on the
alert for the welfare. Of these street
urchins, she left her party of friends,
and, walking over to the little newsboy,
asked him why he sold papers so late.
He replied that all the other boys did
the same thing. But don't you know
that it is against the law to sell after
1880 o'clock?" asked Mrs. Nathan.
Aren't you afraid of being arrested
when you don't obey the law" Who'd
rest me?" with defiance. 81 could"
said Mrs. Nathan. sOh-go'wan. you
can't" looking at her handsome white
evening wrap with scorn in his eyes.
Amused at the little "newsy's" bold
ness, she turned to join her party. but
not before the newsboy grasped the
arm of a man in her party, and she
heard him ask, could she sure 'nough
arrest me?" The answer was a nod
and moment later she saw "a pair OF
heels disappear among the home
goers.
No women in the world have more
fads in their manner of dress than the
American women or display more
originality or defiance of conservative
rules that are followed closely in other
countries. This is shown particularly
in the way new styles are = simply
thrown aside unless they please the
women. and style thus frowned
down is rarely taken up, and never
becomes popular during the a season.
Last fall in England it was accounted
poor taste to wear waist and skirt of
different color or material. This idea,
of course, camezpFer here To follow
it would do away with the -sl1irtWaist
and fancy light waists nOwsWoFn with
dark skirts. So our worneh edntinued
to wear light waists with dark skirts,
and even shirtwaists, too. AT 81 party
where twenty women were invited for
luncheon sixteen wore light s waists
with dark skirts, while the Wooden who
had spent the summer abroad wore
gowns of one color, and were surprised
to think their sisters had failed to
adopt the custom so popular in Eng
land.
