THE EMANcIpATED WOMAN.

The new woman seems to have "evo-
luted" to the point where 1t is matter
OF doubt as to which is now really
the weaker SEX" At least, there are
some woman who evidently consider
themselves physically superior to those
who We're once regarded as lords of
creation. In all times of danger the
safety of women and children has
been supposed to be the first consiG-
Grafton. 1t is different now, Mt least
in some quarters. Save the men
first" was the cry OF Nine. Cast. own
er and skipper OF the motor boat Ca
mile, when the rescuers from French
warship got on board her poor little
craft TO snatch her and the rest OF the
crew from the violence OF the sea.
Save the men first" 1t sums up In
a sentence the attitude OF emancipatcd

WOMEN AS STATION AGENTS.

a Western railway is making some
radical changes in the personnel OF Its
employees. and 1t is now predicted that
all the smaller stations on It's line
eventually will be In charge OF women
for 1t Is the introduction OF women
station agents which constitutes the
novelty. The innovation was first in
troduced a year ago. the experiment
starting with one woman. who turned
out most valuable assistant. Not
only We're her monthly accounts models
OF neatness and accuracy. but she had
been In the Office but short time be-
fore she began to Offer valuable sur-
gestions as to how TO make the road
popular with the people along the line.
The full measure OF her capability was
not discovered, however. until the Of
ficials made tour of inspection. when
the woman's station was found TO be
the best kept one ON the road. Inquiry
revealed that since she had taken the
station 1t had ceased to be n lounging
place, there was no rowdyism, and the
floors and benches We're now clean.
This exceptionally good record encour'
nged the road to experiment further,
and 1t is interesting that the, other
women appointed have also given n
good account of themselves. The
woman station agent is found to dis.
play more tact in handling people than
men agents, and there have been fewer
complaints In consequence.-vogue.

THE CARE OF LINENS.

Every housewife delights in having
nice linens for her table, and those OF
heavy damask are cheaper in the end!
as they wear longer and look infinitely
better than the light weight linens.
The thinner cloths can be starched ever
so little. thereby giving the appearance
OF heavier weight. This must be done
carefully, for a stlfiiy starched table
cloth is unsightly, to say the least.
In buying table linen It is well to re-
member that check pattern in plain
or elaborate blocks with warp and
woof running straight across botlf
ways is better bargain than a floral
or curved pattern that costs the same:
for the check pattern is more easily
manufactured. and, in consequence, a
better quality Of linen is put into cloth
of this design than into fancy patterns
at the same price.

These cravats meant TO encircle the
throats and cross in front or on the

as We're the fur cravats, but one OF
the most attractive models is compara-

Made of closely SCI little frllls OF

model is n charming accompaniment TO

There are. too similar scarfs of soft
lace laid over sheer silk with veil
ing OF chiffon, and bordered by n mar
row line OF ostrich or marabou or by
ruchinG of little frills of lace or silk.
Long straight scarfs are made, like
the little cravats, OF little overlapping
frIlls of sheer stun or lace. and one
beautiful imported scarf OF this shape
had triple frills OF chiffon for border.

FELTs HATS BIG.

The small hat has had Its day. With
the autumn big. picturesque styles re-
sumo their interrupted dominion. II is
not often that winter fashion can be
foretold with certainty so early in the
season. In the sweltering days Of July.
when cloak models stagger under furs
and wholesale buyers perspire ms they
finger velvets and heavy cloths. there is
always gamblers risk about invest
ments. To buy the thing caprlcious
woman will not like when she gets
back to town means ruinous advertis-
ing to convince her OF her mistake. with
inevitable loss at the far end Of the
bargain.
The small hat has been n blunder.
A wave Of laughter has swept over the
country at sight of gentle. dignified
women transformed by polo turbans
into the likeness of impairment minxes.
Not In ten years has there obtained n
fashion SO generally unbecoming.
Given n good hairdresser to adjust
the coiffure to the hat, n certain saucy
smartness has been nttninable. With
out the hairdresser's aid. the average
woman would not have looked worse.

London is very smart. But what

SHADES FOR pARLoR LAMPS.

When refurnishing the house one
cannot have too many dainty fol-de-
rolls about. AS the lamp is such nm
important factor in the pretty home.
the girl, who has nothing in particu-

and they are exceedingly attractive
and we'll worth the trouble and time
one takes for making them. The
heavy silk and glass covered shades
are carefully stored away, and in their
places we see the delicate thing of
light silk, or paper, which looks AS II
woven by spiders or those covered
with cretonne.
Cretonne stands practically unrivaled
this year for the dress Of country cot

of this material is cupola shape. and
has the ribs outlined by narrow dou-
BILE folds Of silk, gathered through the
centre and twisted around the gath

ATTACKED ny AN ocTop1,s

MY hrst experience OF the octopus,
writes Frank I. Bullen In Creatures
OF the Sea- was In little bay in
Stewart Island. New Zealand. A small
river flowed Into this bay, notable for
its me hounders, and the crew OF the
snip In which l was then sailor soon
discovered that the easiest way of
catching them was to wade about on
the fine sandy he'd with bare feet, the
water being only up to mld-thigh, and
when they felt the fat body wriggling

stoop, cropping In the sand until they
had the founder safe between finger
