SHE WAS A "STICKER."

Here comes a sticker!"
1t was the buyer, says the New
York Times, who spoke, interrupting
pleasant conversation on spring and
flowers and things. 1t was in the waist
department of one of the big uptown
department stores. The term was odd
and led to the expectation of some
thing exciting. A beautifully dressed
woman presented a somewhat untidy
package to one of the girls behind the
counter.
Il bought this a little while ago."

But this waist has been worm" said
The girl, examining the anything but
fresh-looking waist before her.

the girl, YEARLY. "If you've any other

she walked away.

Yes; that's the rather unpleasant

few more women hired. Can the I'M
ion stop the Innovation"
Mr.. Grant goes on to give num-
Der Of other illustrations of the way the
modern woman is poaching on what
has hitherto been mans peculiar pre-
serves.
The Franklin Union of Presided
ers went on strike nearly a year ago
for an increase in wages. The places
of the men were taken by girls at
about one-half the wages the men had
been receiving. The employers say that
the experiment has proved a success,
not alone by reason of the reduced
cost OF operation, but also by the in
creased output. The girls have proved
more efficient than men. The strike
is still on, so that allowance must be
made for the statement of the employ
ers, but one thing is certain. the
work is being done by girls in a field
hitherto considered as belonging to
men. Within the last year messenger
boys in Boston and Chicago went on
strike. In both instances their places
were filled by girls. The manager of
the Chicago concern told me- The
girls are more satisfactory than the
boys. They don't stop to look at
windows so much
"One would hardly expect to find
women at work in a brass foundry.
Like a slaughter house. a foundry
seems out of womans sphere. But in
chicago there are more than 200 girls
employed as coremakers in brass foun-
ores. They do the work as well as
men, at much lower wages. You can
also md women at work in blacksmith
shops, making horse nails. In can
factories they outnumber men. That
the number of women employed in shops
ana factories will be increased rather
than diminished in tie future seems
certain Agitation against unrestricted
immigration is sure to result in legis-
latlon being enacted making it more
dlfhcult for cheap foreign labor to come
10 our shores. That will offer still
greater opportunities for women In
creased opportunities for women means
decreased opportunities for men.
The move of the stock yards butch
ers, conducted under the guise of sem
tment but in reality a measure of
selt-protection, may prove the fore
runner of similar moves on the part
OF other unions" Mr.. Grant predicts.
Inc striking messenger boys a few
months ago in a letter to the public
press appealed to the mothers of the
girls who were taking their places.
urging them to keep their daughters
out OF the messenger service on moral
grounds. Only in few directions has
TINS open opposition to girls been
shown, but it is likely to appear in
many before long. AS woman enters
new fields and men are displaced, the
Keeling of opposition will grow. The
unions have been compelled to restrict
the number of apprentices in skilled
trades to prevent overcrowding as far
as possible. They may soon md if
necessary to limit the sphere of wonn-
ans activity for the same reason. At
present the agitation is to organize
women and secure for them equal
wages with men for equal work per
formed. But that policy is meeting
with only a very limited measure Of
success"

BUILT ABOUT HER WEDGWo0D.

I've heard of coming suddenly upon
buried treasure" said the woman,
who, according to the New York Sun,
finds it hard to believe that there is
anything worth while north of Cen
trail Park but l must say that I was
never more pleasantly surprised than
was in a little dining room that
found in Harlem flat to-day. 1 had
to come into town this morning, so
went up to call on the newly married
daughter of an old school friend, and
l started very early, for 1 had a feel
ing that it was away at the ends of
the earth and that l must take plenty
of time to get there.
Il did feel horribly embarrassed
however, to discover that 1 had arrived
just at luncheon time. But Edith de-
clared l must sit down with her and
have luncheon. 1 had rather disap-
proved of her marrying as she did. 1t
seemed to me that she might have
done better than to choose such an
environment, keeping house in Har-
lem in August. Still l suppose 1 am
prejudiced. Edith is such a dear girl
just like her mother, that l might
upon to choose happily-and I'm sure
she does seem perfectly happy.
But started to tell you about her
dining room. Her 'Wedgwood dining
ROOM, she calls it, and she says she
built it all up around her Wedgewood
sugar bowl and cream pitcher. 1t is
all in that soft Wedgwood green and
white. The woodwork is white that
pure white of the cameo designs on the
Wedgwood ware. The walls are COW
cred with book linen in that deep sage
green of the Wedgwood. There is a
white plate rail-all around the room
and the colors in the different bits of
china on that are the only contrast
to the general green and white of the
scheme There is a green and white
cotton rug on the floor and white mus
lin curtains at the windows
But my greatest establishment was
the dining table and chairs. They were
enamelled in white, all of them. 1t is
certainly a very odd idea for a dining
room, and if any one had told me of
it l could hardly have believed 1t could
be success. But it was in this in
stance.
Il couldn't help admiring them, and
then Edith confided to me that she
had bought just the plainest cheap din
ing set she could find, and that she
and Jack had enamelled it themselves
and upholstered the chairs in green
denim to match the walls.
THE table ferns were in a Wedg-
wood dish and all the china was pure
white, perfectly plain. You don't know
what relief it seemed after all the
decorated sets. In fact, the whole
room was so dainty and cool and rest
full, and Edith herself, in her white
house gown seemed someway like the
embodiment of the daintiness of the
place. 1t has done me good to see
such a pretty picture. I shall pass
along the Wedgwood idea. 1t is really
worth COPYING in a country house"

discovered the noise was caused by a

The bat is declared to be harmless,
but it has an ugly set of teeth, and is

that the practice of medicine has be-

fashioned doctor, who got what train
