the greater part of the autumn and spring

cd for a moment. 1t must be acknowledged,
however. that in their enjoyment of out
door life and knowledge of how to obtain
that enjoyment there is much to be said
in favor of the life of English girls.
~ NE of the chief delights Of living in
l the country is the familiarity that
may be acquired with the garden.
and it is interesting to note that land
scape gardening is fast becoming favor
lite profession in England among girls
who. brought up amid surroundings of
wealth and luxury. are for some reason
forced to seek a means of livelihood, and
that already they are competing on equal
footing with the men in that line.
In this country, where old estates are
few, and desire for parks. gardens and
terraced lawns is of comparatively recent
origin. there is tremendous scope for the
landscape gardener.
For girl who must of necessity seek
some means of livelihood, and who is at
heart ii lover of nature and outdoor life.
certainly no profession could be more con-
genial nor could she find any work SO
little fraught with the various disagree
able and unpleasant incidents Of the aver
age business career.
SO the girl. on the other hand, who de-
sires simply an interest in life, while she
can feel fairly certain of being always
cared for luxuriously, would nevertheless
be glad of the knowledge that should an
emergency arise she was possessed of
some capability upon which she could fall
back; for such girl knowledge Of the
science of landscape gardening would be
quite IDEAL
If she Is to have her own country place,
or may be allowed by her parents to prac-
tice her art on the grounds of their coun-
try home, she might well undertake the
two years. course at some good school of
landscape gardening and horticulture.
From brief special course of study at
any reliable school. supplemented by a
tour of the gardens abroad. any girl can
acquire sufficient knowledge of the sub
ject to derive infinite pleasure for her
self, and brief course of study giving
the bare rudiments of the science can
always be supplemented with more thor

|T HE fabric money bags now so popu-

substantial sash ribbon or from piece
satin, velvet or taffeta, eighteen inches
long by nine inches wide, and lined with
heavy silk of q matching shade. The
ends of the strips are shaped into deep
points and strengthened with suede stayed
seams, or they are composed of three
pieces, Joined in triangular or mitre
shape and decorated with design done
with embroidery floss or with jet, gold,
steel, pearl or silver beads. Some of
the purses show elaborate floral, classic
and trellis patterns, while others have
only an initial or a monogram, but all of
them are finished at the ends with deep
fringe matching the texture of the em-
broidery.
Each of these ornamental end pockets
takes up a third of the length Of the
money bag and their contents is secured
by means of two locking rings Of hand
hammered oxidized silver. Sometimes
only one end is used as purse while the
other is French kid lined and fitted with
a powder bag or miniature manicure

G UGH enormous quantities of pins
Nwould not be mysteriously lost every
year by every young girl were those
toilet accessories kept in the special recep-
tacles provided for them, any of which
is sufficiently ornamental to be accorded
a place on the dressing table. For ordi-
nary sized black and white pins there are
black and white satin cushions of spher-
ical shape equipped with stout ribbon
strings by which they may be suspended
from hooks at either side of the mirror.
Star shaped harlequin cushions have
points in two colors so that they readily
accommodate collection of pins in every
shade likely to be needed for the toilet
and these also have ribbon hangers.
A novel and practical safety pin holder,
three inches in height, is in the form OF
a monkey with arms and legs so placed
that the various sizes of pins can be sep
arately hung from them. The animal Is
susnended from hook by means OF n

" MONG the contrivances which
~ methodical girls consider necessary to
their comfort and convenience is the
yard long laundry bag of art ticking,
cretonne or linen bordered all around with
thick cable cording, matching the draw
strings at the top. As such bags are not
practical if heavily trimmed, they usually
carry only large monogram embroidered
on one or both. sides. Rather more dainty,
if not so durable. are the white handker-
chief muslin laundry bags embroidered in
pale blue, pink or green and lined with
lawn of matching hue.
Shoe bags made of cretonne, crash or
linen are embroidered across the top with
a floral pattern in a shade harmonizing
with the color scheme Of the bedroom,
and on each of the six pockets Of the re-
ceptacle is worked the owners monogram
or the initial of her surname. These bags
are equipped with steel eyelets through
which may be strung tape or ribbon hang

Work bags are made by covering with
ribbon both sides of a square of paste
board and to two opposite sides OF the
square attaching small silk bags shirred

Many schoolgirls are now devoting sew
eral afternoons a week to courses in the
prelminaries of landscape gardening,
while others who have left school and
are not to come out" for another year
are working hard all day and every day
at this most interesting branch of study
When it is taken into consideration that
the professional landscape gardener must
go through two years course at horti-
cultural college or school. where he must
become thoroughly grounded in all such
subjects as botany, geology, physics
chemistry, geometry and geometrical
drawing, it can then be understood how
a short course of study such as a school
girl can afford the time for will give her
scarcely more than mere outline of the
subject and an intense desire to find out
more for herself during the summer
months through study and experiment
1t is maintained by many that. land
scape gardening is the coming profession
for women, and already there are num-
berless applicants in this field, Surely
there is no profession so peculiarly suited
to the natural capabilities of girl of
refinement with good education back
of her, and mere man will soon have to
take a secondary place in this art once
woman, with her natural sense of the ar
tistic, intuitive knowledge of colors and
instructive idea of space, commences to
really compete with him in this line.
IT HERE is scarcely branch of school
training which once acquired will not
be of value in the study of landscape
gardening. A study of languages is al
most essential, that the botanical names
of the trees and flowers may be easily
learned; all the sciences need to be
studied; knowledge of architecture and
sculpture is required, that the park or
garden may be in correct proportion with
and position in reference to the house,
while true sense of color combinations
and contrasts can only be had through a
familiarity with the best in the world of
paintings.
The more complete and thorough all
around school education a girl has been
given, therefore, the better fitted will she
be to take up this profession and the
easier will the course of study be for her.
Travel, too, is a requisite of the would
be professional landscape gardener. Only
through intimate. personal acquaintance
with the famous gardens and parks of
the Old World-England, France and
Italy-their points of similarity and their
differences, can it become possible to sift
out features from them all which can be
made to fit in suitably with the surround
ings and the climatic conditions of this
country.
Here again the average American girl
is peculiarly we'll situated to take up this
profession, for six months or years
sojourn in Europe before she is to come
out is to-day considered very nearly as Inn
portant part of her education as is her
entire school course of ten years.

Girls who like to embroider arr, deco
rating lengths of heavy linen with all
manner of dainty designs with white or
colored wash silk floss or with soutache.
The linen should first be shrunken,
pressed, stamped with the chosen design,
embroidered or braided and then washed
for second time. After that the edges
must be finished with tailor stitched hens
and the ends equipped with pair OF
mother of pearl buckles, which need not
be removed when the belt is sent to the
laundry.
For the girls who prefer metal belts to
those made of fabric there are chain COM
binations in a great variety of odd de-
signs. Some of those in sterling silver
are set at intervals with carved ivory me-
dalions, others carry clever limitations of
jewels or rare stones and few show
canoes or curiously wrought metal Orna-
ments. Among the Oriental belts is a
model composed of bars of dull gold Joined
with heavy silver chains, and another
shows a series of green silver chains
linked at intervals with hand carved
mother of pearl japanese poker chips.
