Pretty things are specially designed
to go with hats. There are jumper
effects which are contrived to match
hat trimmings and pretty fchus to go
with hats of wide brim and many fea-
theirs. Neckgear grows larger and
more pretentious, and bows for the
neck are broader and more heavily
trimmed with lace. All colors are
seen, but the fancy. for lace of a deli
cate ecru shade is more pronounced.
Indeed, it is to be a satin season"
says Grace Margaret Gould in October
Woman's Home Companion. "Nct
the satin of our grandmothers, so stiff
and heavy, but light. soft, supple
material, with q wonderful luster of
its own, which adapts itself marvel
ously to the new clinging type of
gown. -"
Paris is wild with enthusiasm over
the satin gilet. A gilet. you know,
is little vest. One of the smartest
Of these small garments, and one
like, is made of black satin bands
shaped to the figure and each finished
in point. This gilet is single breast
ed and buttons in the front. Com
bined with the satin is band of
Persian embroidery forming the top.
This is peculiarly French touch
and is sure to be much the vogue.
The contrast of the beautiful Persian
colors with the shining black satin is
most effective and one of those little
things which the French make so i'm
portant. Such vest as this will
prove NEST serviceable to the woman
with limited wardrobe. 1t will give
a new look to last years suit, and
an attractive look, too.
"A vest of this sort, is generally
worn with cutaway coat, but l sug-
gest that it be male so that 1t can
take the place of an overblouse and be
worn with guimpe of filet net"
Cloth topped shoes seem to be on
the way to popularity for winter and
I. the fashion will have good sense to
commend it. since the cloth tops al
low such good circulation that they
are warmer than leather tops. In
deed, so the women declare that by
wearing low shoes and "spats" they
have cured frost bitten feet, which
have given them trouble for years.
Not long ago the hospitals were be-
siegei by girls who desired to learn
nursing. Now the pendulum has
swung back. The graduate nurse is
too plentiful. the probationer is scarce
accordingly the fad is past, says Har-
per's Bazaar. Library work, similarly
cvercrowded, is similarly passing
through dull season in consequence
but a novel field is opening now to
the girls who, ten years ago. would
have been studying for library work
or to be trained nurses-a field more
wide and, beyond question, more in
teresting than either-the great field
cf trained philanthropy.
There was time when anybody
could be turned loose to visit the
poor. But now only really desirable
district visitor is encouraged to do it
and actual results or research work
are expected. There was time, also
when gentlewoman who had seen
better days was encouraged to apply
for the position OF matron in the
nearest charitable institution. Today
matrons and even assistants arc train
ed in. schools Of philanthropy. The

planted the general practitioner. And
as sociology is the study Of the day
its service demands many young, en-
ergetic and trained workers, who
must be educated along the special
lines which they intend to fellow.
Hero arc several advertisements
from one column in a periodical de-
voted to charities: Wanted-Woman
to teach intermediate work and take
charge of the chorus singing in an
institution in the west. One who is
good disciplinarian needed. Want
ed-Woman as a house director in a
Y. w. C. A. home in medium-sized
CITY," "Wanted-Woman to demon
strate the value OF organized charity
in a city of 10000, where the funds
for the support of the society are al
ready available" These advertise
ments do not need to add, "Only train
ed workers need apply" That is quite
evident, even without the emphasis
Of the advertisement OF the school
of philanthropy and its special eight
months-long course, in the next COL
umu.
The new field is not yet filled, and
offers good opportunity for the wo-
men quick enough to take it. 1t, re-
mains to be. seen what its POSSIBLE
tiles are.
Judging from present indications the
prevailing style of clinging styles in
dresses will continue in favor during
the fall and possibly the winter. AT
