Much handwork is seen on girls

a revival of embroidery and the finer
kinds of needlework. Buttonholed

are simply soles strapped on. There
are wash hats for small lads too,

STYLES for The Juveniles

A younger girl, perhaps 10 years
old, wore on embroidered pink cam
brio. Her light yellow tresses done
up on top of her head, 1t being such
warm evening, she presented a
quaint grown-up appearance. Her
bodice was cut v shape back and
front, the pink embroidery edges
showing prettily against fair neck
and at dimpled elbow. She wore no
ornaments" whatever, not even the
beads dear to the average girls heart,
and looked as fresh and simple as
peach.
The guimpe's the thing for the
child's dress, the easily soiled por.
tons can be removed and washed
and while one set is in the tub an
other be worn. The rolling collar OF
the day is particularly becoming to
our youthful friends and may be worn
with a bow or tie. Some young la

The smart coat Of the season is the

makes a decidedly cheerful spot In
the summer landscape.
Daintiness is ever attractive in the
small girls getup, and the separate
wash collar for the cheerful coat is
a pretty touch; 1t may be of lace, or,
better, Of embroidered linen. Some
prefer the heavy linen with button
holed scallops; some mothers delight
to linger over fine hand embroidery
with insets Of lace and lace frills.
Linen and cambria frocks made in
simple style should be included in
miss's wardrobe, for these frocks are
both modish and practical. Even
khaki, which is popular for the small
boys, is used for girls dresses. the

encircled with scarf of pale blue
crepe de chine, fringed with black and
white, and has bunch Of glowing red
cherries to the front, The whole is
cool and crisp and colorful.
Cambria is favorite material, and
as it launders so we'll has much to
recommend 1t. The pink cambrics are
very pretty-as seem all the pinks
this year-and the hats of midsum-
mer are most attractive with them.
And while speaking Of the charm Of
the summer frocks, let us not forget
that petticoats, which, too, come in
for display, are not to be neglected.
One Is very tired of cheap trimmings,
therefore with the more zest calls
attention to a pettlcoat Of dotted mus
lin made up with tucked ruffle and
no lace; the ruffie attached by wide
beading through which Is run col
ored ribbon tying in bow and long
loops.

lin was made in picturesque style with
a fichu crossed at the bosom. The
high girdle was of pale blue liberty
satin, the picture hat was adorned
with white feathers. A more costly
gown was of blush-rose India muslin
made up over softest white silk. This
also had fichu draping the shoulders,
the fichu and hem Of the dress bor-
dered with fine thread lace. The pic
ture hat was wreathed in plumes of
a rose shade somewhat deeper than
the gown. Still another frock calls
for description, cobwebby muslin in
delicate peach color, with insertions
and founces of creamy old lace. Soft
peach colored ribbons shone on
sleeves and bodice, there was a high
girdle Of peach colored suede with
dull silver art nouveau buttons adorn-
ing the same. The hat was of smoke
gray, with plume of the same color.
From the above 1t will be seen
there is liking for lovely soft COM
binations,. but we must mention that
there is also liking for the use in
millinery Of big, brilliantly -colored
cherries This form of trimming Is
rather heavy and cumbersome, but
gives a striking effect. The picture

surely advancing in favor. Some
women have taken to shawls, but
these are very courageous.

Now that the United States government has
made start in the direction of erecting suitable
legation and embassy buildings for our represen-
tatives abroad it is hoped that before many years
the United States flag will fly over property that
this government owns In every prominent capital
abroad. The fact that American ambassadors and
ministers have had to rent their quarters abroad
has been disgrace to the United States dplo-
matte service.
The experience in Picking during the Boxer
troubles in 1900 made 1t imperative that this gov.
eminent erect It's own legation building in that
city where proper guard could be placed. A
handsome ministerial residence and guardhouse
have been provided there and now that the prece-
dent is established, congress will be appealed to-

The Women Workers

marries in her early teens young man
with no prospects beyond his days
wages. Neither Of the parties to this
hasty marriage has saved a penny for
the rainy day, and after the wedding
both 60 on working as usual. BY and
by baby arrives, usually drifting into
the world to be cared for by moth
er who has not the faintest notion of
what maternity means, and who has
no nourishment to give the little life.
When the mother is able she goes back
to the mill, leaving the infant to be
cared for by relative, mother or
an aunt who has grown too old to
work. Children born of such marriages
are seldom rosy and strong. The NOR
tality among them is large, and they
survive at all only by the law Of the
survival of the fittest. This Is the
gloomiest side Of the picture, rivaled
only by that which Is the burning
shame and disgrace Of American life,
the ineffaceable stigma brought upon
us by the commercial greed in the toll
GRAFTON of child labor. Motherhood
and factory life should be divorced.
Whether women work by the day
or by the piece their earnings are very
seldom on so large scale as the earn
ings of men. Why this should be is
accounted for by those who believe in
the Eallot for women on the theory
that women cannot vote, and that al
though they preponderate in the la
Dor market, they have no direct infiu-
ence in politics.
Another explanation Is that they are
somewhat less thorough and respon-
sible than men In carrying out what
they undertake. This is slur on the
working woman which Is undeserved
and mean. 1t must be admitted, I re-
greet 70 say, that women have less re-
gard for the validity of contract
than men. and that they are much
more likely to drop their work and
change situation on impulse than
men are. Marriage, too, often takes
them, as 1t should, out of the ranks
of competition and places them in the
shelter of home life.
This is evident in the higher depart
ments, rather than in the lower. Sales
women and teachers are less likely to
desire continuance in their places as
wage-earners than are the girls who
paste labels, make boxes, stitch gloves
and stand at looms. AS we rise So
cially In the scale, have greater intelli-
gence and more liberal education, mar
riage is on a higher plane and Is
founded on a basis of nobler quail
ties.
Women are In the labor market to
stay. They cannot be eliminated.
They belong to the vanguard Of mod
ern civilization than which nothing Is
so complex and nothing more interest
ing. They bring to their task the
subtle sympathy, the quick perception
and the enthusiasm that belong to
their sex. They earn every dollar Of
their wages or their salaries.
In the finer grades of commerce,
women do good service as buyers for
importing houses and the departments
of dressmaking, millinery, embroidery,
home decoration and kindred lines are
very largely in their hands. Mother
Eve is the first seamstress on record;
her daughters ever since have been
busy in carrying out what she began,
the making of clothing for the race.

A PRECEDENT FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.

Secretary of State Root is now on mission
that promises to be of great Importance to the
United States and to all the Republicans on the
western hemisphere. 1t is a great departure from
long established custom for cabinet officer to
visit neighboring countries and discuss with their
administration international affairs, but the pres
ent administration at Washington cares very lit
tie about presidents SO long as the thing con-
tempated to be done is for the good of the
country.
Mr.. Root is man of practical ideas and
since he became the premier Of the administra-
ton he has been looking into the matter Of ex-
tending United States trade to the countries to
the south of us. He has been impressed with the
idea that there is big market IN Central and
South America that is in danger Of being monop-
Dlized by foreign countries and which naturally

SUMMER IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

In midsummer the great national capital at
Washington Is like an overgrown country village
The quiet of its streets and its general somnoent
character are remarked by visitors from all parts
Of the country. There is no rush. no crowd except
at very brief periods during the day. From eight
until nine o'clock in the morning the street cars
are crowded and good many people are seen
on the sidewalks, but they compose the army of

up behind the doors Of the big marble and gran

United States consular service in recent years
have noted distinct improvement in its person

jokes and constant sources of amusement when
there was a change In the administration was
