Frills of Fashion.

Since the transparent guiInpe is still a
most constant adjunct of dress, 1t does not
surprise one to see II appear with shirt
waist gowns.
The skirts OF some handsome gowns are
SO wide that crinoline seems almost a
necessity to keep their ample folds from re-
tarding the steps Of the wearers.
A model hoopskirt has been invented by a
promlnent authority on fashions 1t is not

There are types OF the plain tailored suit
which alternate the long redingote. There
are at least dozen variations the tight

The soft fancy silks are admirable for
shlrtwaist suits to be worn at home. They
are made very much as they have been all

All gowns not strictly for walking pur-
poses are made with skirts that touch the
ground. The bell-shaped skirt is the most
means gone out Broadcloth and the soft,
pliable materials, such as cashmere, velvets,
wolfe. ETC., are mostly used.
Why are not more gowns made with
pockets? There is no room for them in the
modern skirts, but in half-fitting or loose
coats they are quite possible, and would he
true, are furnished with small inside
pockets, but It is in street gowns that they
are really needed.
LaPy Is ine woman 70 whom gray Is be-

self in the front OF the fashionable process
sion this fall, but she has the largest choice
or fabrics when she goes shopping. The
handsomest materials are gray, Just now
gray in every shade and tone, and in every
kind OF weave. The rough mixtures, SO
STYLISH at the present moment, are at their
best In gray and 1t is not possible to get

A new waist has been devised in which
there is no opening except the neck. II Is
adapted to soft silk and cloths, and to wash

model, but always has a deep inverted plait

Three women,s Success.

The three women who were voted places
in the hall of fame in New York university,
were Mary Lyon Maria Mitchell and Emma
Willard. Mary Lyon, founder and first prin-
cipal of Mount Holyoke seminary, began
teaching at the age OF IS years, for the sum
of IS cents a week. about the year 1915, and
far enough from her thoughts must have
been the idea that she would one day be so
honored. One of her teachers in the fol-
lowing years was DIR. Joseph Emerson, one
OF the first to preach equal educational
advantages for men and women. Quite
different was the Mount Holyoke of the
time of it's founding in 1894 to the institu-
ton of today. The young girls performed
all the domestic work themselves and the
religious spirit prevailed. Miss Lyon mad
to combat much adverse opinion in regard
to the higher education OF women, the con-
servative element then, as now, fearing the
result If women were allowed the advant-
ages OF men.
Maria Mitchell, the astronomer, said OF
herself that she was born of only ordinary
capacity but of extraordinary persistence, "
and it was this patient effort that made her
worthy Of the gold medal given by Freder-
lex vi, of Denmark for discovery of a
comet. and finally secured her position in
Vassar college upon its opening in 1866
When she found that she was to receive
less salary than men who had no reputa.
ton at home, even while she was well
known in Europe. she protested, and was
given salary worthy of her attachments
She was the first woman elected to mem-
bership by the American academy OF arts
and sciences.
Emma willard, founder of the famous
Troy female seminary" was not only
original in her ideas on education, but was
something Of a writer as WELL one of her
best-known poems being Rocked I'm the
Cradle of the Deep" She was the only one

that the notable San Franciscan has been

present visit is fraught with the greatest
interest.
DR.. Roberts Is still a young woman, al
though her years OF greatest fame date
from 1898, when, after brilliant examins-
lions. she received the degree of doctor OF
mathematics, conferred upon her by the
University Of sorbonne. This was the FIRST
time that the high distinction had been
conferred upon woman in France.

such distinction. While she was a student
In 1885 she was given the position of super
intendent Of one Of the towers OF the OBJ
servatory Of Paris Before that time she
was awarded prize of 5000 francs for the
best treatise on the comet of 1882,
There was more public distinction for
Mile. Klumpke in 1896 when she was Sc

to Norway to observe the eclipse OF the sun
The party, which consisted OF I'VE people

to this notable American when she made
balloon ascent from Paris for astrono-
mical observations
In 1901 the engagement of Mile. Klumpke
was announced to DR.. Isaac Roberts, the
pioneer in astronomical photography. Her
marriage followed shortly afterward, but
DR.. Roberts lived less than two years, pass

marriage DR.. Roberts gave up her work IN
Paris to work with her husband at the OBJ

Payne Of tho nature and location OF the
trouble.
Formerly Miss Payne was a seamstress
employed at a garment factory which
recently moved from the city. She likes
her new work very much, she says. 1t
is very dull all alone In headquarters some
nights. she admits, but there is always
the fascinating possibility that something
might break loose" In the meantime the
fair desk sergeant whites away the hours
munching popcorn, reading interesting
books or doing fancy work.
The appointment OF Miss Payne was suR-
gested by Chief Edward Shultz, who be-
lieved that she could do the work as well
as any man. The objection was raised
that she would not be able to respond in
person to the calls for police services. The
chief overruled this argument with the
common sense reply that such oualihca-
ton was not necessary in a desk sergeant.
for, while he Tor she) was out responding
to one cali, others Of more urgency might
come In with nobody on hand to receive
them.
The force OF the argument was apprs-
ciated by the police committee OF the city
council, which appointed Miss Payne.

TEMPTATION OF
 CHRIST, HIS THEME
THE REV. GEORGE w. READ PREACHED A STRONG SERMON AT UNION SERVICE AT ENSLEY BAPTIST CHURCH.

Ensley, August 14-fSpecial)-The Rev. George W. Read, pastor the First Meth odist church. preached at the union ser vice at the Baptist church last night.
 The church was crowded with one of the largest congregations ever assembled in E,nsley. The night was beautiful and pleasant.
 MT Read preached on ''The Temptation of Christi and his sermon was pronounc- ed one of the strongest ever delivered in the city.
 He argued that temptations come to the Christians rather than to the wick ed man. The devil wastes no time point ing out and suggesting evil deeds to the wicked man. His business is to lead the good astray. The evil man will take care of himself in his sins.
 He argued that the mastery of temp tation strengthened the Christian man and that the fact that he is tempted should not discourage him in his Chris tian work.

 Daniel Webster was never noted for at tention to detail in business matters. His we'll known failings were often taken ad- vantage of by interruptions creditors. who gave no receipts for paid bills, sim- ply because they were not demanded. Webster was well aware of this, but 1t seemed to trouble him very little
 On one occasion a creditor presented a bill which seemed familiar, and Webster asked: Isn't this bill pretty larger
 'I think not, replied the maker of 1t. confidently.
 Well said Webster, handing over the money, "every time 1 have paid that bill it has seemed to me a trifie larger
