philanthropy. He has always had
strong aversion to the ordinary board
ing and vacation home for working
young women and is arranging to open
one according to his own ideas on the
subject next summer at New PaItz,
New York; farm colony where
young men and young women who
need recreation in the open air and
nutritious food to restore their health
will be able to secure them. not in
bachelor and spinster colonies but in
association with one another. Mr.. Ar

thinks that the charitable organize

of man are not doing what they
might to correct the evil. 1--WE want
the young women to marry and make
homes" he says, but we never give
them a chance to do so. I can't i'm
agine what the women who support
the vacation colonies and working
girls homes and similar institutions
are thinking of. They go to a great
deal of trouble to give their own
daughters opportunities to meet men
but one of the first rules and regula-

wage earning women is that a man is
never under any circumstances to be
kallowed around the place. The n1atron

It=seenas to- be an accepted thing that
the lingerie blouses epidemic during the
summer win be worn in cold weather,
too, under furs and warm coats. China
silk slips will be worn under them, as
has often been the case, even during
warm weather, and in our steam heated
houses and public buildings the airy

r. The custom of wearing them was in
troduced last winter by a few fashion
able women, but 1t will find wider ac-
ceptance this year, and the exquisitely
matinees, etc. than any other style of
separate blouse, Oddly enough, it is
only the very sheer, fine blouse to which
this rule applies, Those of coarse ma
1 terial or medium weight are not con-
sidered so chic. although they may be
costly
For less dressy wear the heavy tub
blouse has it's place in the winter out
fit That, too. is an innovation OF re-
cent date, but for several years past q
host of women have recognized the
!, practical virtues of the heavy tub
blouse for winter wear. It is quite
y warm enough in the house, and under a
winter coat is comfortable for outdoor
wear.
Regular shirt waist models of a Sc
verely tailored sort are liked for these
serviceable blouses to be worn with the
morning trotting suit; and after a sum-
. and drabbled after being exposed to the
slightest moisture, or after the least
, crushing, the trim firmness of the
heavy linen shirt waists shown by one
or two of the most exclusive houses is
distinctly refreshing.
Nothing prettier in a separate blouse
than the lingerie blouse at its daintiest
was ever fashioned for women. but for
practical wear the tailored shirt waist
. was the thing. Many women have
chung to the latter, and this fall there
are indications of renewed favor for it.
zone tailor suit used to be enough
for the average woman's wardrobe, %
the Sun quotes a fashionable tailor as
saying. Nov I make her several
a short slzirted walking frock for
rough wear, a more dainty and elab-
crate walking costume, and a very
handsome long skirted visiting or car
riage frock.
Perhaps she has more than the
three, but the customer who five years
ago ordered one orders the three to-
day. 1t is the same way with coats
Where one would have sufficed a few
years ago three or four are needed
now, and naturally we tailors are not
grieving over the change"
All the makers agree upon the empha-
sis to be laid upon the long coats, and
undoubtedly the most elegant tailored
costumes exhibited so ear have coats OF
this kind While the lines are the same
in many instances there is great vari-
ETY. of detail, and the cleverness with
which. the tailoEs are : accomplishing
their effects is deserving of enthusiastic
praise.
