WHEN SUCCESS
SPELLS FAILURE

Business success for the woman does
not mean domestic or Individual happiness,
and, on the whole, business life makes for
r~estlessness, d~selfishness and discomfort
You cannot measure the influence OF BUSH
ness on the woman by figures or statistics.
You cannot count wrecked lives among
women wagetearners as you can tally of
divorce cases on court calendars, and trace
them to certain causes, such as incompata-
bility. desertion. cruelty, etc. You cannot
say that a woman in business is a failur
or success according to the salary she
draws. You cannot expect h trim, self
contained girl at your elbow to admit that
her perfectly appointed little apartment,
her perfectly trained maid. her perfectly
ordered life of dinners. clubs, theatres and
opera parties spells failure. She says she
is a success. In her heart she knows that
when the last guest has gon and the
trim little maid has been dismissed the
sxquisitely appointed little apartment be
comes a whited sepulchre in which the
starved soul Of the woman sits alone

TO TRANSFORM AN
OLD LEGH0RN HAT,

The leghorn hat which has done duty this
summer can be made into n stylish hat
for winter II covered with silk. 1t is an
easy matter to cover a leghorn hat, then
the edges can be stitched on the machine.
After covering the hat with silk, look over
the plumes you have saved from year to
year and use the best ones. those which
harmonize with the color of the silk and
trim the crown with a fiat band Of black
velvet, using ribbon the color of the silk
for loops. The hat can be made into any
suitable shape, and is splendid to hold its
shape, since neither rain or wind will de-
stroy the shape of a sllk-trimmed leghorn.
Some Of the leghorn hats are covered with
the fine silk, the brim made to fit closely
around the crown, and finished with rows
of narrow black velvet ribbon and pom
pons of the same at the left side. The
fall and winter hat will be trimmed with
a bandeau, not a large one, only a small
velvet covered piece to lift the hat in the
back so that fancy combs nay be dis
played.

OATMEAL WATER
FOR THE SKIN.

Many young people are annoyed by the
appearance Of pimples and slight kin
eruptlons. which are dis1guring. II not
serious. Our grandmothers used to dose
their young folks with some of the most
horrible concoctions ito clean the blood. "
Many of these remedies seem out of the
question entirely with us, but some OF
them were efficacious and simple. One
Of these last mentioned is oatmeal water.
To make 1t put a heaping tablespoonful Of
fine oatmeal into a tumbler of cold water.
Allow it to stand all night, and In the
morning stir 1t up well. Let the thickest
part settle again. and then drink the clear
part. This should be continued for two
or three weeks, and 1t will clean the
complexion remarkably.

SILK AND THE
NEWEST WAISTS

There is no doubt about it that the most
deliberately plenished wardrobe requires
absolute simplicity as the characteristic of
some of its details. and this applies very
emphatically to the morning shirt. Smart
though the white lingerie one Is, 1t is not
always desirable to wear 1t. and SO there
arrives an opportunity for the tailor-made
model called the Gibson Girl, with its
neatly stitched plaits and Its general air
of practical utility.
There are being sold now some excel
lent English silks that wear very we'll, and
are not expensive.
They should be made with a neckband
like that Of a mans shirt, and a deep
white linen collar should be worn with
them, with a little tie arranged in a bow
in front. Surprising there should be in the
possession of the wearer a set Of pretty
studs and cuff links, they should be brought
into instant requisition.

THE LITTLE GIRL
WHO GOES TO SCHOOL

For a light dress for the little school girl,
nothing will be neater than a cream linen
with trimmings of pale blue linen. Butch
ers' liner is excellent for this purpose
and may be washed many lines and always
looks bright and fresh. AS summertime
days extend far into the fall months, a
light dress is really essential, and the linen
dresses may be worn and retain their fresh
appearance much longer than the light
weight white dresses worn during the sum
mer months.
There is n dainty English plaid which is
serviceable for school frocks. TIL tints are
In all pastel shades, though the checks are
small and make neat jumper suits, also
blouse and semi-blouse waist dresses. Her.
ringbone cloth is excellent for separate
skirts as 1t Is a dust-shedding fabric, does
rot wrinkle and seldom shrlnks.

NEW CLOTHS TO
BE WORN THIS FALL

That the fabric suit the costume is well
illustrated in the new fall materials. For
the mannish tailor-made suits hard-infshed
worsteds will be h materials used. h
new morsteds are medium in weight.
Their wearing qualities are above re-
proach. and they come In the most fasci-
mating array Of stripes, small broken and
unbroken checks, plaids and plain colors.
In these materials stripes are the most In
favor. Serge will be much used, as well as
Cloth plaids promise to be less
a rumored fashion and more a fact this
fall and winter than for many a past sea-
son. The dark blue serge tailor-made cos
tune win be extremely fashionable for
early fall wear, with just a touch of plaid
or orange cloth introduced as a trimming.
For the three-piece costumes much
broadcloth will be used, and here we find
the big fabric novelty of the season. This
is fancy broadcloth. 1t comes In checks
in soft shades, In stripes and in plaids.

If the people of today who nave so
much to say about the self-supporting
woman would only stop inc think a
little. they would realize that. In vari-
GUS ways, women nav supported them
selves since the earliest period.
Didn't she hew wood and till the
soil to gain her bread and butter when
there was no man to provide 1t for her?
And didn't she often do the same
thing In preference to depending on a
man, even when there was one to work
for her? Think OF how ehe used the
spinning wheel, to weave material for
stockings, capes, dresses and even hats.
having her husband take these to town
to sell or exchange.
Nothing was too hard for the pioneer
woman.
She split rails, made candles, sewed
and baked and earne money in count
less other ways.
Tn old teapot or sugar bowl on the
pantry shelf was never quite without
the jinglinE coins earned by her own
hands.
Does the woman of today dc any
more?
She may have a different kind of
work to do, but does she earn her own
living any more than did her great
grandmother?
True. her great grandmother stayed
at home. while she often lives by her
self, but, as far as money making is
concerned there is little difference be-
tween them.
We love to picture the women of a
few generations q as clinging vines,
too delicate too even know how to help
themselves.
Perhaps this is true of the chosen
ones who had no need of s~elf-earned
money, but the great majority. your
ancestors and mine, were well able to
support themselves and proud of that
ability; so the woman of today might
as well get rid OF the idea that she is
doing something new and wonderful In
earning her own living.

pink sugar until the shade desired. A little
strawberry juice may also be put in. Add
the raisins dredged with flour. Now 1t

NOW COMES THE
SWIMMING DOLL,

The modern child cannot lnd any fault
with the new Paris craze, the swimming
doll. With this fascinating plaything he
doesn't have to make believe, for the doll
can make wonderful speed with free and
easy strokes across a pool or tub Of water.
and, being turned by hand, can swim back
again. The doll shown in Paris is dressed
in a blue silk swimming costume and is
about nine inches long. No more fascinat-
ing plaything has been seen In a long
time than the mechanical toy, which is so
cleverly constructed hat it can pass the
critical eyes, of the new child, who is
a born cynic, some one cruelty remarks.
Probably the pampered darlings here
would feel lots better If they had swim
ming dolls to amuse them on a summer
day. Kindly friends or relatives touring
in Paris should tuck such dolls in their
trunks when they return.

was quite dainty with gray lace of an
exact color as the fabric In the dress. The
waist was made with a pointed front yoke,
high collar and initiation bolero Jacket
with all edges In notched effect. The tunic
skirt showed but a very narrow border OF
gray lace below the upper skirt portion,
while medallions n bands Of gray lace
looked neat on the rippled portion ~ the
skirt. above the hem. Small silver and
gray buttons were used as ornaments.
