and skirt thai was expected at the begin
ming of the season. This blouse problem
has been discussed so recently that 1t seems
hardly necessary to go into it again, but
each week brings out new and pretty
blouse models.
Chiffon yelling, lace or chiffon over en-
broidery net or lace is always good and
allows for many charming effects, but
much is done now with thin silken blouses
made of cashmere de sole or the lovely
crepe weaves, and these models are, of
course, rather more practical than the
sheer ones. Some very good blouses are
made up too in the %softest, lightest and
loveliest Of molres, and these are par
ticularly good when made to accompany
coats and skirts showing touches Of MORE

Women on the board.

The appointment Of women to the Board
of Education Of New York by Mayor Nc
Clellan, gives great satisfaction to both
the suffragists and the ants throughout
the country. The suffragists declare that
the change was brought about by their
agitation in favor Of equal pay for equal
work, while the ants are equally sure
that It is the result Of a letter addressed
to the mayor by their organization. This
letter bore the date Of January 80, 1909,
and the association opposed to woman
suffrage asked the mayor to appoint
women, insofar as the law would permit,
to all educational, charitable, sanitary and

preliminary examination, stating that
a survey of the creek has been author
lied. At the same time he inquiries

that although Redwood enjoys socalled

tory improvements have been held
back on account of lack of a proper
water transportation route.
