WITH THE WOMEN
Federated Clubs Endorse the
Girls School
MID-WINTfR MEETING
Resolution Adopted Urging legisla.
ture to Appropriate Money and
Get Busy

That the women of Minnesota are
not neglecting the girls industrial
school, which was located in Sank
Centre last season, is evidenced by the
fact that, at the mid-winter meeting
of the Federated Women's Clubs of
Minnesota, held in St. Paul last week,
resolutions were adopted endorsing
the project of separate school for
girls and urging the legislature to
make the necessary appropriations
and proceed with the work of erect
ing, equipping and opening the school
the present season The resolutions
are as follows:
Whereas, by special act of legisla-
ture, session of 1907, separate indus
trial school for girls was created with
many wise provisions for its proper
arrangement and equipment but with
no adequate appropriation for carry
ing out the plan.
RESOLVED, That we, the Minnesota
Federation of Women's clubs, in mid
winter council assembled, do hereby
express our continued and unyarying
interest in the new industrial school
as created by said act; that we again
refer to the great and immediate need
for such school and that we respect
fully urge that the sum recommended
by the board of control in it's annual
report be appropriated in it's entirety
in order that the cottages for said in
dustrial school may be constructed
during the coming summer and so
equipped as to meet the requirements
of our state"
The Federation has issued two cir
cular letters ON the subject of the
girls school, calling the attention of
the lalinHers of the Federation to the
Importance of exerting themselves to
help the cause along.
Mrs. E. j. Lewis, state treasurer of
the Federation, of this city, attended
the mid-winter meeting at st. Paul
last week. She reports very enjoy
able gathering. The breakfast, she
says, was one of the best the Feder-
alton ever gave. The toasts were all
appropriate, well given and all the
speakers kept within their allotted
time of ten minutes. Mrs. W. b.
Mitchell and Miss Pape Quayle of St.
Cloud were on the program.
Fashion has decreed that ''rats," "
puffs and the Marcel wave, which wo-
men have disported on their lovely
heads for some time now, must go.
In place of these above mentioned
adornments the Grecian style of dress
ing the hair is to be the vogue. Wo-
men are ordered by Dame Fashion to
wear bands of jewels and velvet, cir
cling the plainest of Grecian coiffures.
Quoting an authority on the new
fashion:
''The very newest style of hairdress-
ing is straight-no curls and waves, ii
you please parted on the right side,
brought low over the forehead. Then
it is brought loosely up from the neck
and coiled, SO that. it reaches even
with the top of the head. Then you
just use your own taste with the rest.
''If you have bit of black on your
gown-a bit of black on hats and
gowns is to be fashionable-you use a
black velvet band for the finishing
touch. Place the band just below the
coil of hair at the back of the neck,
and bring it up On top of the head
with bow knot jeweled buckle
arranged just bit to the side in front.
"There is no doubt that this new
hairdressing will be big success. 1t
really cuts ten years off woman's
age"
A lady appeared at dinner at the
Palmer House last Sunday with her
hair dressed in accordance with this
latest decree of Fashion, and say, it
looked nice. Beat the ''rat" style to
a finish. A number of those who dim
ed there that day remarked how pref
ty the new style looked.
Grecian gowns have also captured
the dressmaking field. ''The long,
crane-necked gowns are doomed from
this very minute" says Gotham au-
thority on what lovely woman shall
wear. Then comes the little hat that
has driven the 'sMerry Widow" to the
ash heap. Husbands will also be glad
to hear that the new headgear, al
though very much smaller than those
