FriIIs of Fashion.

Most fetching are the hair ornaments for
evening wear. One sees every kind OF
wreath and rosette.
Embroidery on stockings grows better
liked all the while, especially when the
embroidery matches the stockings I'm color
It is said that more coats in black and
Whltet tan and gray will be worn than IN
pinlss and blues and colors but as vt
coats,
Plenty Of the new hats are made of felt
mats, folded and draped into shape. And
toques are better than they've been for
years-even the turban shapes promising to
drift In along with them.
CLINT Of gold Is seen In most Of the
new trimmings, though the metallic effects
OF certain seasons Is not observable. he
combination of gay silk embroidery or rib
Don work quite overcomes this effect.
The striped velvets and veloutina are very
beautiful. An exquisite material OF fin 81
wolfe, with three-Quarter-inch wide stripe
OF velvet comes in several lovely shades; a
violet Yerging on plum, a bronze green,
the best colora
There is a great demand this winter for
SOY SILKS to carry out the draped and
finished crepe, messaline with small fig
ure, lovely bordered chiffons and gauz s.
These all hang well in the artistic manner
required by present fashions.
Evening coats and wraps are nearly all
made with sleeves There is no tremendous
variety about them. They are nearly al,
three-quarter length, either plated or cut
circular, so as to fall in ample folds. and
almost always have a handsome lace or
FUR collar or yoke
The boas and neck rufus are of endless
variety. They are always becoming and
as TAR as can be foretold, there Ia no emf
TO their future existence. They are made
OF every color and design OF chiffon, net

A woman in Mechanics.

That a woman is capable Of the develop
ment Of mechanical skill equal to that OF
any man is fully exemplihed in the case Of
Mildred d. Peters of Rice Lake, Wis, a
young woman who by her own desire and
love for machinery and under the tutorship
of her husband has become a full fiedged
machinist.
After three years Of work in her hus-
bands machine shop and foundry, known
as the Rice Lake Iron works, Mrs. Peters
has become so proficient that there is now
no job that comes into the shop that is be-
yond her skill. She can do anything from
making shrinking At" or key seating
coupling" to manipulating the trip ham,
mers and other massive machinery in the
shop.
She does not take a back seat for any of
the skilled machinists who work with her
in her husbands establishment
Jobs that puzzle old timers in the busi-
ness, and that usually take years to learn,
Mrs Peters is not afraid to tackle. And
she accomplishes them with ease. She is
particularly good in manufacturing, and
the castings that she spoils are very. very
few. That she is truly mechanical genius
there is no question.
Her knowledge of machinery is not con-
fined to the machine shop, for she goes into
the foundry which is an adjunct to the
shop and there can cast or mold anything
In the line of machinery, even to the pour
ing of the sizzling hot metal herself.
She has even made her own patterns for
jobs from blue prints supplied by the
craftsman, but she dislkes the work at the
pattern bench on account of the dust from
the wood lathe. She often runs the band
saw and files it and keeps it in order gem
orally.
In molding. which is regarded as requir-
ing much experience and skill to prevent
defects in the casting, she is perfect. She
turns out clean castings, which she pours
from the heavy hot ladle very steadily, as
required In this class of work. If 1t be a
thin plate to be poured fast, something
that all molders look upon as difficult and
often with fear, never fails to get a perfect
casting.
In handling brass she makes those cast
ings without difficulty and melts and pOurs
the metal herself.
But It is in the machine shop that her
heart is set, and the noise Of the ponderous
and powerful machinery is music to her
ears. II is TO her a happy diversion from
the hundrum and monotony of homework
and she enjoys It. She takes as much pride
I'm turning out a perfect shaftlng or set of
pulleys or some intricate part of an engine
as any housekeeper would in making a
good cake or in doing a choice bit of EN-
broidery work.
Mrs. Peters can fire the boiler. keeping
up the proper amount of steam and water,
and can run the engine, And more than
that she could put It all together again
were it to be taken apart for her, and
without any trouble.

II is the figure Of this girl that gives tho
picture its charm. All else IS accessory 10
her The lover at her feet IS a mere foil
to her beauty; the artist has turned away
his face IN order that there may he nothing
10 detract attention from the grace Of the
maid. and has drawn him in an attitude
that accentuates the stlf anguartty Of the
masculine evening dress as a contrast to
the gracetui curves OF the dainty figure
beside him The walking delegates face
is hard, coarse. unsympathetic, In order
still further 10 throw out That OF the girl.
The room itself with All its sple1dor Is
designed as a frame for that lovely fact.
The student will observe that It IL all in
straight lines. like the frame OF a portrait
relieved only by the curves OF a couple n
chairs planted one on each s!de Of tho
picture 70 balance each other. Thus does
the artist make use OF his details to give
force 10 the central object.
This drawing is an excellent illustration
Of clever grouping The story Is told by
the pair in the center, whose attitudes are
reciprocal, while the interrupter is as he
should be- outside the principal group and
at the extreme lefthand side The object
OF placing that little stRtHette upon the
grand piano at the right IS to balance the
figure Of the walking delegate, and II is
designed to typify strength, in order that q
may carry out this idea by suggestion

Care Of ARTIFICIAL HnIr.


All authorities Of false hair seem to agree
that while heavy switch should be sham
pooed regularly and thoroughly the little
curls and puffs 80 much worn at the pres
ent time do not need the same treatment.
The dust can be easily trushed out Of these
small pieces and they do not come into 50
close contact with the natural hair as a
switch, which is generally twisted in with
the wearer's own hair.
While there is normally no oil In the arti-
fetal hair, still It absorbs a certain amount
Of oil from contact with the natural hair
and for this reason needs washing. This
should not be done frequently. In most
cases one shampoo in two months is quite
sufficient to keep a heavy switch in good
condition.
The directions for washing false hair are
almost exactly the reverse Of those pre-
scribed for the shampooing Of natural hair.
The same soap may be used or whatever
shampoo mixture is preferred, but this
should not be rubbed directly on the hair.
Instead the switch should be plunged
into a bowl full Of soapsuds. After being
thoroughly washed It must be carefully
rinsed in many waters, some hair dressers
insisting that eight rnsing waters are none
too many to insure the thorough disap-
pearance Of the soap.
While natural hair should be dried in
the bright sunshine whenever possible,
this practice should be carefully avoided
with artificial hair, as strong sunlight
tends to fade it. The best method Of dry
ing switch is to hang It at night in an
open window in a strong breeze.
BY morning it should be perfectly dry
and the breeze has a tendency to make it
light and fluffy. It may then be combed
with coarse-toothed comb to remove the
tangles.

JeweIry that Women Make.

Women goldmiths and jewellers are
having considerable success both in Eu-
rope and America. The ablest of them are
regularly instructed I'M schools of design
and in the shops of working jewellers and
goldsmiths.
Much of their work is in the semi
precious stones now popular. reports the
New York Sun. These owe their charm
20 the tasteful fashion in which they are
mounted and arranged.
The women jewellers have been especially
successful in designing chains, collars,
necklaces and the like In which SEMI
precious stones are mounted in gold OF
pleasing decorative design. An eye for
color, a sure taste in matters of form and
dizziness and manual skill are the neces-
sary equipment for this kind OF work
Some of the women jewellers arc skilled
IN other departments Of the trade They
are apt at enamelling, an art to which
women have only Of recent years given at
tention.
II takes a very short time for a clever
girl to learn the art Of enamelling on cop
per, and many small copper vessels en-
amelled within, and hatpins, watch fobs and
the like are made by women. A school in
Boston teaches copper enamelling to
small class of women annually, and within
the year most of them acquire considerable
skill In the art
Rings elaborately chased and set with
precious stones are made by women
jewellers, though they do less of such work
than work in enamel and in semi-precious
stones. Most OF the work in precious stones
is still in the hands OF men. aud there are
few women diamond cutters.
The advantage that the women find In
this kind of work is that It may be done
at their own rooms or wherever they can
set up a wise. a small forge and crucibles
Some Of the women jewellers work for the
trade, and It is a good deal easier for them
20 obtain from the employing jewellers work
in semi-preclous stones than in more ex-
pensive jewels.
A good deal OF the work OF the women
jewellers is done upon private orders, and

some Of the most successful among them
owe their reputation and trade to the quiet
advertising that they obtain from patrons
who have been pleased with their work.
The young woman who manages to attract
the interest Of a few rich women is pretty
well assured Of profitable employment
The fashion in Jewels is constantly chang
ing, and there Is a growing demand among
the wealthy for specially designed jewels
Many wealthy women are easily interested
in new materials and methods in jewels
and Il Is to such patrons that some Of the
women jewelers. look for employment.

omciaI H.cort for Lone Women.

an ideal abiding place for spinsters and
other women who are without male pro-
tectors.
1t has two constables, one on duty days
and the other all night. IT is the sDecial
business of the latter to look after all
unescorted women.
He meets every trolley car that comes in
from Springfield after p m. and escorts
every unaccompanied woman in it to her
home. He meets trains from the east and
west, II notified. and looks after the lone
women passengers, cheerfully carving
their grips as he accompanies them 10
! their houses.
And for all this he does not get a tip or
extra pay. He receives merely the graft
tude of the fair sex of Palmer and their
smiles. Such escort duty the town re-
0uires Of him as high constable.
Recently a young school teacher in the
town wished to attend a wedding many
! miles away, but her attendance meant that
she would be obliged to return to Palmer
at a. m. She was about to give up GO
ing when a townswoman pointed out that
all would be made easy by dropping a
note to the policeman, asking him to meet
that o'clock train.
That is his only address at the postoffice

ago the managers experienced considerable
difficulty IN attempting TO enforce the rule,
and in one instance met failure after send
ing a dozen ushers In succession to the Of
fender with requests to remove her hat
The contract ticket II the result OF that
annoying failure. A woman calls atten-
ton to the innovation in a letter to the
New York Times. She inquiries whether
the management, having forced the re-
moval Of the hats, has provided any place
to put them. There are the veil and the
hatpins as we'll as the hats. So long as
their removal was a voluntary act Of cour-
tesy, the women were content to carry
them on their laps or fasten them on the
backs Of the seats before them. But un-
der compulsion-that Is a different matter
The woman in the Times also asks, with
sweetness. but deep feeling, whether the
management has imposed a contract on
the male holders Of seat coupons prevent
ing them from forcing women to arise be-
tween every two acts and crowding by
them that they may assuage their alco-
holic thirsts. She suggests that the bibu-

frain from imposing discomfort upon those
about them.
