Woman, Mistaken Ambition.

The main trouble with people in gen
.ral, and the greatest cause of unhap-
piness and crime, is lack of sense.
People do not get life in its proper TO-
Gus; they see things wrongly. They
are incapable of the trust imposed upon
them-that of doing the best they can
with the given means.
Men have not sense enough to see
that in making their wives happy they
make themselves happy, and women's
minds can not grasp the fact that In
improving their own minds and char
acters they are insuring themselves a
truer satisfaction than in trying to
keep up with the style of the neigh
bors.
| am a strong believer In the doc
trine that we get what we go after in
the world, if we go after it in the
right way. Women have been going
after their rights" in the wrong way.
There is not, and can not be, any
where. in any sphere of life, better
or happier position for woman than

tunately the few who are possessed of

ing them.

women in business. / think her pres
ence there is dctriment to society. Her
natural sphere is in the home. And it
is in the home that she is so badly
needed.
There Is just now crying need for
the old-fashioned home atmosphere that
was part OF the early civilization of
our country. Women need to turn back
to The domestic pursuits that made
their grandmothers such power in
the land. They need to give I'D the
frivolous turn they have lately taken.

OF our women at present is to be recl-

modern doctrine of cutting a figure In
the world. This is the most mistaken
idea that was ever drilled into the
heads of young people by enthusiastic
but misguided parents and teachers.

one. 1t is woman's mistaken ambition

There is long coat effect about
many of the tunics of fashionable tailor

the running of the short lines of the

In the majority of cases the princess

when bodice and skirt are separate the

As To Length of skirts.

skirts are longer. For all but the
typical walking suits they are very long
and sweeping. while the street suits
have taken on another inch and just
escape the ground. This rule will apply
to the wash materials, and wash ma
terials are going TO prevail to an cX-
tent not known for many seasons.

the skirts will be more deliberately trim

lose none OF that seml-tailored appear
ance For this reason frills are ta-
booed. or when used are flattened by
cross strips and landings. For linen
suits which will hold first place among
washable materials, colored trimmings
will be popular.

attained by man or woman.
Miss Peck had previously gone to
South America twice to climb this
mountain. On an earlier trial she was
compelled to give up the attempt after
reaching height Of 1850 feet, owing
to the cowardice of her guides. By
reaching an altitude of $4,000 feet Miss
Peck has assembled higher than any
other person, man or woman, In the
world. The previous record was held
by w. W. Graham, who reached
height of 23,8OO feet in the Himalayas
Miss Peck began her mountain climb
ing in 1898, when she scaled the Mat
terhorn. She assembled Mount Sorata
in Bolivia, reaching height of 20,5eO
feet. Huascaran, or Huascan, towers
above notable group Of volcanic sum
mits IN the south OF Peru to the west
ward of the great plateau in which
Lake Titecaca lies.
Miss Peck has surmounted almost
impossible obstacles, chief among them
the lack of means. Miss Peck was at
one time professor In a Western col
lege, but for many years she has been
occupied as lecturer and has climbed
many mountains for the purpose of OBJ
tanning material for her lectures. 1t
has been her ambition to climb Huas-
caran, reputed the highest mountain In
the world, which all the climbers of
the world had failed to ascend. She
has had the greatest difficulty In rails
Ing funds for her trips, but she has
persisted In the face of constant dis
couragement and has started on her
mission each time with barely enough
money to take her through her SEIZED
ule, with no allowance for accident and
with but scanty equipment Scientlf.
cally her equipment has always been of
the best and no doubt she will bring
back some valuable observations. Her
past two trips have been made with ma.
tive guides who proved almost worse
than useless. This time she had with
her two Swiss guides and 1t Is doubt.

New Underclothes.

Combination underclothes are be-
coming more and more the rage. Al
most all the corset covers and petit
coats that one sees for sale are fast
ened together around the waistline
Both bodice and skirt are made on the
circuiar pattern, SO that there is as
little fullness us possible around the
waist and hips, and they are Joined to-
gether by beading through which rib
bon is run. 1t is a very attractive
looking garment for negligee, but it is
far more trouble to keep them both
clean and fresh than Il is to care for
only one piece at time. The reason
for the innovation was, of course, the
return of the Empire gown, but the
Princess slip of lace and nainsook is a
far more becoming gown to the figure
than is the combination.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1908-09-17

The first suggestion is to preserve the
height and also maintain breadth
AS short skirts tend to take away
the height, skirts should be as long rs
possible.
Slender women should wear princess
and empire models. as height is reck-
oned by the length from the waist line.
For street wear the plated skirt I'M
trimmed is very much the best choice.
With this the coat must be either
short or very long, rs a three-quarter
length will not be becoming.
Black hats should not be worn, for
when black hat is worn the height
seems to stop ut the face.
This may be avoided by wearing q
touch of white on the hat, so that the
eye may be carried beyond the face.
Trimming on her dresses should be
arranged lengthwise when it is of con
trasting figure.
A stylish arrangement by which the
hips of the slight woman are brought
into prominence is to commence the
trimming below the hips
The large hat will seriously detract
from the height of the small woman
and she should for this reason select
a small or medium-sized one.
