Domestic Service

The aversion which working women
in this country feel to entering domestic
service appears to be shared by the
women of European nations. Observers
in England some time ago noted with
alarm that young girls who were OBJ
liged to work would do almost anything
else sooner than become house servants.
Now, Mr.. Cuneo, American consul in
Turin, reports the same of the Italian
girls in that section of the country. Mr..
Cuneo says he has known people to
look for domestic help for weeks in
vain. the fact being that there, as in
the United States. Intelligent and am
bilious young women seek employment
as teachers, as clerks in postofflces and
stores, as secretaries. stenographers,
typewrters, in factories-in fact, they
seem to prefer any kind of employment
to domestic work. 1t seems that they
even prefer to drive teams, to pull or
push carts on the street or to become
porters to being domestic servants"
The Industrial opportunities which
Italy opens to these women ought to
warm the cookies of the heart in any
woman suffragist who yearns to see her
sex competing freely with men in the
various activities of life. Mr.. Cuneo
relates how, not long ago. he visited
Forno. a small Alpine village. There
being no wagon road to within five
miles of the village, all necessaries ex-
cept few vegetables have to be carried
mostly from Omegna, distance of ten
miles, In my walk to Forno and back
frequently met women with large
baskets on their backs, strapped 10
each shoulder, and l saw that the
baskets were filled with provisions,
merchandise, and even little kegs filled
with wine.
II also noticed that the royal mail
was thus carried. This carrying is
given to the lowest bidders, and as
women are willing to work cheaper
than men they have a monopoly of the
carrying business and men have been
driven to find employment In other
lines"

artistic silks and in his native naked
ness. His temperament also becomes
a noticeable feature to the obseryant
foreigner, and the manner in which he
takes his pleasure contrasts marvellous

human being.
In the early hours of the morning,
when the rays of Old Sol are tenn

the worker of low degree, may be seen
carrying the cage containing his favor

tening in contemplative ecstacy to the
joyous greeting which his Gagged friend
pours forth to the coming glory of the
day.
AS soon as the golden beams become
oppressive he retires to his domicile,
whether to labor or sleep tits hard to
tell. In any case he is wise, for has
he not caught the beauty of the grand

perience of the present writer a young
woman of Oriental birth stopping at a
seaside resort where beauty from every
quarter Of the United States was con-
gregated. She was young woman of
very little personal beauty, having
heavy features an Insignificant figure
and a skin so dark and African in color
that she was many times taken for ar
African negress. But she was a
princess in her native country. She
knew how to wear a scarf so that every
advantage of its graceful shelter should
be enjoyed to the full. She was wise,
very wise, with the wisdom of the east
all unknown to our western maidens,
who will at any cost to their own
beauty follow the style.
Not so did this Oriental maiden. She
clung 10 her veil, or scarf-for the long,
glittering thing is Unfortunately used
for either purpose. The missionary who
had the young woman in charge ex-
planned that although she had found it
possible to adopt all the other items of
American dress she could not yet sub
stitute a hat for her scarf.
And so she would appear among all
the behatted misses of that gay colony
with her poetic scarf gracefully drap-
ing her commonplace contour. She won
admiration-heaps of it, Men and wo-
men alike gazed at her with pleasure.
There seemed to be, those of them who
sought to explain the peculiar attrac-
tiVeness of her appearance said, some
thing mysteriously beautiful about her.
1t wasn't her figure, or her features, or
her coloring. 1t was just something
beautiful about her.
Truly, there was. 1t was her scarf.
When she went in bathing and was
necessarily robbed of that artistic ac-
cessory to her wardrobe she was as
homely as a hedge fence. However, she
rarely went in bathing in the surf. She
preferred to sit by garbed in all manner
of shades and hues Of her beloved scarf,
a delicate, dropping figure, with filmy,
flowing outlines, in a world of angu-
larities, retiring modesty into the mys-
terious, scarcely shielding recesses of
her glittering Yeil-in a world where
the overboldness of feminine beauty
strikes us all at intervals with an all
unconscious weariness
Just this charm is what the American
girl proposes to get out of her Syrian
scarf during the coming summers har-
vest of coquetry. There must always
be something to carry with one in the
summer evenings, something that is not
harmful on the hottest night-a wrap
satisfying the seruples of guardian
mamma or chaperon, but whose ever
more important mission is that It adds
the last touch, the finishing fascination
to the toilet.

boa, the little shawl, the tiny cape, the
square of crepe or chiffon or the boa of
feathers. This year it is the Syrian
scarf. 1t will prove the most becoming
of all coverings for the head and shoul-
ders between the dances, when stroll
ing on moonlighted promenades, for the
veranda tete-a-tete in the evening, for
the drive or the automobile trip when
the weather is warm ehough-for
thousand and one purposes which the
summer girl alone could enumerate.
An Oriental Fancy
And what joy. what transcendent
bliss to be able to wear while one is
still a respectable young lady or an ir-
reproachable matron the head covering
until now reserved for the queen of a
circus pageant, the houri of the ballet
or Mrs. Leslie Carter in a Belasco-Long
play! Never before has American wo-
manhood had within its possible prop
critics for conventional, everyday, per-
fectly normal use an accessory of the
toilet so suggestive of the tinsel of the
footlights or the far off charms of an
Oriental existence. Young or old, she
will do well to equip herself with one of
these scarfs, so that she may dazzle
and glitter and charm mysteriously
while yet she may and before Dame
Fashion inexorably points the way to
colder, sterner, less fascinating fancies.
Once before these gauzy scarfs
figured in womens fashions, but that
was long ago, in the days of the empire.
Now when we are in the throes of 1880
fashions we could scarcely have ex-
pected such a boon and even in the old
days Of the empire the scarfs were not
so much a-glitter as they are now. An
occasional glitter was all they got.
But although this is the principal use
It isn't all the use to which the Syrian
scarf is now being put These scarfs
make handsome waists, to be worn
with coat suits of pale colored taffetas
and similar delicate fabrics. One scarf
makes a waist, but it is not so cheap
at that, as they cost from S12 to $2S
apiece.
They are also used for gowns, one
scarf being quite sufficient for a very
handsome evening gown garniture. The
gown may be made Of any material
whose texture combines we'll with that
Of the scarf. Heavy meshed nets which
come in many colors, chiffon, chiffon
cloth Valenciennes lace summer satins
and the chiffon taffetas are among the
many fabrics with which the scarfs
may be successfully combined. AS the
searfs are so long one may be used for
a handsome skirt trimming, as we'll as
for the bodice.
Gowns are most satisfactory on which
the scarf has been used in a panel
trimming down the front or sides OF the
