senseIe.. Smart Women.


Among the most aggrayating things
TO deal with in life is the talented Or
smart woman who has very little COM
mon sense.
There is the young girl, in dire need
of money, but with a clever talent for
independent A friend, after infinite
trouble, gets her an order from lead
ing caterer for dinner cards, that
might have been the beginning of an
artistic career and would have kept the
wolf from the door at the start, but
the young woman turns up her nose
at the very suggestion.
There is the little dressmaker, with
the fingers of an artist, struggling
along, unknown and unpatroniZed. A
society friend whose work alone means
a fortune, to try her, but the sense
less dressmaker does not keep her first
engagement and loses her opportunity.
There is the needy woman for whom
dozens Of people have moved heaven
and earth to get her position, and
when she took it put on such top lofty
airs and discoursed so continually on
her past splendors and patronized her
employers so until she made herself
uncomfortable and lost her place.
Everybody has had experiences Of
like character and knows that the most
impossible and hopeless and discourag-
ing and heart-breaking thing in the
world is to attempt to try to help these
smart women without sense. If you
are worrying along with any of these
types of senseless smart women drop
them like hotcakes, for you can never
hope to see any improvement in them.

Many factors enter into the stream
OF causes which make up the great
ocean of needlessly sacrificed baby lives,
of which the chief are perhaps ignor-
ance and poverty. The ignorance Of
many mothers-I am almost tempted
to say the average mother lis most
appalling, says a writer in the Crafts
man. To hear a group of Settlement
workers, visiting nurses and physicians
relating their experiences and enum-
Grating the many deleterious things
given to young babies, is a tragic ex-
perience. Babies a few weeks old given
tea, beer, vegetables, bread, fish, candy,
ice cream, pickles-the awful list might
be extended almost Indefinitely. Un-
doubtedly, ignorant feeding is a prime
factor in the problem of infantile NOR
tality.

SO-Cent Gas Law in Danger.

The report of the special master in the
suit brought by the Consolidated Gas
Company of New York to upset the so
cent gas law finds that the price is I'M
just to the company and that the law
denies equal rights to the company by
reason of the penalties imposed for viola
tions. The master finds, further. that the
entire earnings under the law would be
only % per cent on the total assets. The
decision of the Circuit Court will not be
rendered before thirty days.

the stock built on the dress, it must,
above all things, be high. The stocks
on lingerie waists and fancy costumes
of all sorts are invariably transparent
and are boned with fine featherbone
strips to support them.
Omber taffeta or liberty is artistical-
ly used for the foundation of sheer
frocks. A skirt of gauze or chiffon, for
example. is made over q colored silk
barely tinted at the waist, but shading
TO a much deeper hue at the skirt bot
tom.
Women with good figures still like
the corselet skirt A smart suit recent
" seen was in hop-green chiffon broad
cloth, worn with a wide-sleeved bolero,
embroidered and applied with stitched
strappings. With it was worn chemi-
settle of Alencon and Irish lace.
Little taffeta boIeros in emerald
green, Havana brown, suede gray, etc,
are much worn by Parfsians over their
batistes. voiles, etc. The little coats
arc very short and fitted, trimmed in
tirv ruches of the silk and buttoning
with one large button at the bust line.
The craze for every one of the khaki
shades exceeds all expectations. They
raise out of the golden brown, the
golden brown out of the nut brown
into a gamut or scale that ends up in
the palest biscuit tohes which make
for full-dress occasions. Figured Or
l;lain silks, if in Rajahs, of the natural
silk color (Which is one of the shades
in vogue), are to be the travelling cos
fumes most in demand.
( The development of green silk ging-
ham in jumper suit is worthy of men
t;on. The dress was made in two sep
arate pieces, waist and skirt, and the
waist was outlined with a band of
white silk about one inch wide. 1t was
sleeveless with a surplice front, the
fullness being drawn In under white
shoulder straps. The guimpe was of
soft. thin lace. The skirt of nine cores
looked neat in wide plaits, which were
stitched only a short distance from the
waist, enough to give smooth effect
over the hips.
