The fancy waists need not be done up often, as they will be worn less. but there will be a great deal of wear and tear upon the office ones. owing to their frequent tubbins. and consequently . generous supply of these will be needed
 The dresses for evening and sum- mer Wear need not be of expensive material, but they should be as prettiiy designed as possible. so that one need not feel ashamed if invited out dur ing the winter.

 These come in delicate white and green glass Their only drawback IS the incongruity occasionally necessary between the water lily and the hower |, holds. With. the lilies themselves. however, they are lovely.

. OERY often it happens that the M business girls clothing goes W far in operating for or against
 her in the opinion of her em- r,o~sr. He wants his stenographer to he not only business-like in her methods. but In her appearance ss well.
 H. desirss that she should look neat, but u3obtrusive.
 1t generally follows that the giri who is quiet In her dress will be quiet in her. manner The wise employer knows this from long experience. 60 he wastes no time in interviewing the aspirant who comes in attired In | much bstrimmed tailor-made suit. Ione kid gloves and a wide. haring hat ornamented with a floating veil.
 oAupx DRESS POOR WORK H. knows that she is the kind of stenorrapher who ehatters all day over her work. who interrupts the other people in the office conctantiy in order to ask ssnseless questions and to get them to sharpen her pen ciis for her-ap short. who seems to consider that business hours and the time devoted to social functions re- . auirs the same kind of dress and the same kind of behavior.
 One sees 70 many girls making mis- takes of this kind. not only in ofhces. but in stores. and one cannot help wondering how they can be so foolish. The only kind of . skirt that is suitable for business Is one that h dark in color and that consequently does not soil easily. white skirt can only be worn ono or two days. ana the girl who wears white skirts to business is not only unsuitabiy dressed. but will find that her laun- dry bill soon reaches alarming pro- portions.
 Another and . worse mistake to mako in the matter of clothing is to wear an au-vhits dress. of the kind that ono would wear in the evening. Sometimes such . dress is made of fabric that scani be rubbed, but more often t is not' and in either case the girl In business win soon npd herself over her head 1T she persists in wearing such unsuitable clothes to work. Besides. no one w'tn any taste would dream of wearing tn the morning what is manifestly inteno- cd only for evening wear.
 THE RIGHT COSTUME
 The costume most in keeping for busi- ness consists of a tailoy-made skirt' rather dark in color. but not necessarily heavy in texture. neatly fitting. and plain tailor-made shirtwafst with sleevei that are neither short nor long.
 The elbow sleeve is manifestly out o' place in an ofIics; besides, 1t entails upor its vearer the extra expense of loni gloves. Elbow sleeves are very prett! in the evening. but in the daytime tt Il better to cover the arms as far as tn wrists.
 That employers are waking up to thi fact is evidenced by an incident that oc cured only the other day. Great In disnation was aroused among the femal employees of a large department stor when they received orders that the
 must either wear lons sleeves or els cover their arms with sleeve protectors
 The girls were apparently among tn
 hundreds who have not yet realize
 what kind of dress is suitable for ever
 inx wear, and what kind Is hitting
 wear while at work.
 The dark skirt is the most economici
 kind of skirt to wear. owing to the fa'
 that in order to look trim 1t only r
 ouires an occasional pressing and st'
 more infreauent cleaning. and the q

who can afford only Q limited sum for dress annually must take all these things into consideration.
 The girl in business should spend less than one-third of her income upon her wardrobe. Less than half should be spent for living expenses and the rest should be put aside for the rainy day.
 On this amount of money the girl who can make her own clothes should be able to dress very nicely. provided

SPEAKERS RACE IN ALABAMA.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 2S.-Jo-
seph J. Arnold, representative elect
from Calhoun county, announces that
he will not be a candidate for speak
er of the next house, it having been
understood up to this time that he
would. He is very mitch interested
in some legislation that he hopes to
have enacted into law and VIII de-
vote his time to getting it through.
The retirement of Mr.. Arnold from
the ranks of possibilities for the
speakership leaves only w. L. Mar
tin and Tyler Goodwin, both of the
Montgomery delegation. The fight,
therefore, is a unique one, being be-
tween men of the same county, and
both having much the same line Of
friends and followers. Mr.. Good
wyn was in the last house and was
the author of the capital improvement
bill.
Mr.. Arneld is working on two spe-

empt the property of old confederate
soldiers from taxation and the other
to have the state appropriate money
to build school houses in the rural
