signifcance to any body Of men, and
men OF actual attainment are quietly
dropping the explanatory letters that

may nave eaten a substantial intellec-
tual meal, or may have tasted instead

school teacher, and have been really
unprepared for any higher studies.

Knitted WoolIen Garment Showing
Natty Revers and Moderately Full,

1t is so rare that n sect a woollen

with joy a new blouse showing natty

modish Napoleon turnover cuffs.
At this season of the year much
pleasure is derived from knitting out
of doors. There is nc wrap in the
autumn girls outfit that gives her so
much satisfaction as a hand-knit
sweater, for it is invaluable for morn
ing saunterings, or sittings, either on
the beach, at the seashore or in shady
dells in the mountains. AS for yacht
ing and boating, no woman or girl is
properly equipped for an afternoons
enjoyment without the protection of
a sweater. This model is an unusually
fit style for the jaunty types of wom-
anhood, being especially becoming to
dashing maidens who retain their sup
pie movements.
Many of the athletic types wear
sweaters of this model done in gray
and they are no end swagger with
plain, white duck dresses.

the piazza pose usually go in for
sweaters of this shape in cream white,
with tinted collars, cuffs and waist

are for fair women in their fittings

yet there is no immediate danger that
she will crowd the men out. We NAV
continue to send our sons to medical
colleges, quite sure that when they
have served the long preliminary ap-
premiership exacted by the state.
they will not find women debarring
them from treating n number of
weii-paying patients. Tie fact is that
even when most successful, the wom-
an doctor In America is only picking
up the crumbs that fall from the man
Doctors table. She has the entree to
the woman's wards Of insane asylums
and to the post as physician in wom-
ans colleges, in babies hospitals, and
so on. But she does not crowd men
out, nor. to do her justice, has she the
faintest wish to do so.
OF course, there are indoor occupa-
lions which are the province Of wom-
an, and At certain counters Of the de-
partment stores they are found to be
In their element. But they are never
at n counters where large bales of
goods are lifted and handled, they do
not sell cloth and silk, nor serve in
the departments of rugs. carpets and
door coverings.
One would expect ONE to crowd
men out in book stores, because books
are delightful to handle and women
are h largest number of readers
and possibly of buyers in this line.
Yet one seldom finds women employed
to an alarming extent in book shops.
Almost always men serve in the ca
pacity OF clerks behind book counters.
The exception Is only in department
stores.
IN the whole, since women are not
likely to become appreciable antagon-
lists in the occupations that demand
original investigation, executive abil-
ity and great physical strength, it does
not seem that there is any reason to
dread their entrance in the business
world. They bring to 1t a Amer con-
science. an element Of integrity and q
moral atmosphere that are worth
much to those whom they meet. In
the last analysis, the world is better
because women contribute to it some
