Plate Rails in
Dining Rooms

|, The prettiest dining room walls are
those decorated with china instead of
pictures, for this treatment gives dis
tinction from any other room. Pieces

shape, preferably both. They may be
, large or small, for, odd though it may
seem, there is no difficulty in attaching
even heavy piece securely.
With plate racks around the walls
| we are all familiar, and yet they grow
| tiresome. But unless the reach of
wooden self is made too long, they can
be most attractive.
| An arrangement that is useful If
placed between two windows consists
of shelf fifteen inches at its widest il
| the middle, narrowing to six inches,
| and then one at either corner. The
swell thus made gives plenty of room
! for holding a large salad bowl. Ten
| inches below is another self, having a
serpentine front. and of the same
length as the upper. A brass rail two
inches wide placed around the edge
| holds the dishes in place.
For hanging plates there are light
weight brass racks which do not show
Brass hooks hold cups by the handles
| If plates or platters are placed upright
on shelves, it is most important that
they should be secured from slipping
either by narrow strips of wood tackled
about two inches from the back, the
plates being put behind these, or by
grooves in the shelf.
China selected for decorative pUr-
poses should have little white about it,
and the patterns must be large in sizs,
| as well as bold in design. Some Of the
soeallel COTTAGE figures are particu
larlv effective, while old blue willow is

reproductions are especially suited to
walls, so intense and satisfactory is the
blue.
Another not uncommon Chinese ware
in which the china is covered with
figures and landscape. done in many
colors, is among the best that can be
selected for the purpose. French
chinas, because of their delicav, must,
as rule, be sparingly used, for they
fail in effectiveness. Nevertheless, a
cup. bowl or plate of fine porcelain, II
placed to advantage. rather low. where
the eye may appreciate its beauty, will
rank as an ornament.
China, like pictures, must be chosen
and placed with discretion. in order
that no inharm0nious effects may be
produced. It is not advisable to mix
different makes any more than it is to
mingle different subjects in pictures.
and for the same reason-they clash.
Chinaware and French together are bad
taste. whereas china alone. or delft

Fashion Notes

1t has been foregone conclusion
that the new fall coats, with their low
openings and long lapels, would bring
in all sorts of dainty jabots and ties.
The neckwear counters are fairly
abloom with pretty things for fresh
ening up the between seasons toilet
and for making one spic and span for
crisp fall weather. Given a really
smart new hat. faultless gloves and a
fresh, modish bit of neckwear, even
last years suit may pass muster very
creditably through the fall days--or at
least until one has had time to turn
around and select the new costume at
leisure.
Blouses opening toward one side have
started the fad for one-sided jabots,
and two of these new jabot effects are
shown, the frills in each instance being
wider on the left side. A strap of
Irish or elunv insertion forms the cent

or pleated muslin being set at the top
Down the left side goes pleated friil

edged with lace, and down the opposite
side tiny frill, just as finish. These
iabots will be worn with the new coats

for dressy wear in the afternoons, and

attractive stocks in the dresser drawer
or the perfumed neckwear box in which
these dainty trifies are kept, for an
immaculate and tasteful meek dressing
distinguishes the lady as no other
feature or except possibly
footwear-ean do. There should be
stocks for shopping and general morn
ing wear, dressy stocks for afternoon
use and extra pretty neck arrange
ments for those inevitable occasions
when dinner or luncheon invitation
calls for something specially attractive
on short notice.
The most satisfactory stocks lust now
are made of embroidered linen and the
strong beautiful Irish lace, which is so
very fashionable. Irish lace may be
washed out in one S room, blued the
slightest trife and pinned out fiat on q
pillow, and in few hours the stock or
collar will be ready to put on. Care
should be taken to keep Irish lace pure
white. 1t has tendency to turn yell
low, which often spoils its effect ON
spotlessly white blouses. Every NOV.
and then the small belongings of Irish
lace should be dipped in warm soapy
water and spread out on q towel in a
sunny window for several hours. This
bleaching process will do much to keep
the lace as beautifully white as though
bleaehed on Irish grass.

Woman. at Head Of Great
School System Of Chicago
Has Fifty Million Dollars in Property in Her
Handsssandl Draws Ten Thousand
Dollar Salary.

Chicago has turned over The manage
ment of her $50,O00,000 school system
to a woman. She is, of course, an IN
usual woman, but all the same she is
a woman and she has displaced man.
Mrs. Ella F1agg Young was elected
superintendent of schools in that city
July %. Her salary was placed at
$4,000, while that of her assistant,
John D. Shoop, was made half that
amount There were unusual circum-
stances about this remarkable selection.
In the first place, the office of the
superintendent in Chicago has been a
customary scene of turbulence for
many months, and yet a woman was
chosen to subdue the unruly factions.
In the second place, Mrs. Young is
sixty-four years old. She is vigorous
and alert, but it is quite certain that
no man at that age would have been
elected. And, in the third place, Mrs.
Young was the one woman in list of
sixty educators selected by special
committee as fitted for the place.
Mrs. Young is Chicago woman. She
was born in Buffalo, New York, Jan
uary Is, 1s45. She was brought TO
Chicago a few years later by her
parents, and there she has stayed since.
Her education was received IN the
Y schools she viii now rule, and some
of the pupils she taught in the lower
grades are now her associates on the
board of education. Advocates of
woman suffrage thought at first that
this very definite proof of woman s

progress in the world of affairs would
strengthen it, but the establishment
followed soon. Mrs. Young believes in
woman and in her work, but she be-
lieves more in the home, and she has
the courage to say so. 1t was the strik-
ing personality of the woman and her
genuine power that won for her the
place at the head of the second largest
school system in the country.
On the day of the election Mrs.
Young and five men were summoned
before the Board singly. The five men
were called first. Each of them was
given twenty minutes to discuss some
topic of education. 1t was dinner time
when Mrs. Young was called, and the
board members were frankly tired.
Yet they felt they must listen to the
woman as they had to the men. Mrs.
Young talked, not twenty minutes, but
two hours, and when she finished there
vas not bored man among the fifteen
listeners. When she left the room, she
was unanimously elected as the official
head of the Chicago schools.
Some of Mrs. Young's "boys'' lined
up outside her office to congratulate
her the day she assumed her new
duties. There was Peter Finely Dunno,
of "Mr. Dooley' fame. 81 never
thought Peter would turn into a Doc
lev,' said Mrs. Young to the group
as she greeted them. tHe was good
boy, but-well, I had only moderate
hopes for Peter And Mr.. Dunno
smiled and giggled much like the
schoolboy of old.

Chiffon Cloth TO Be Much Used
For dany Things in Near Future

It is a most opportune time 10 con
slider chiffon from several viewpoints.
since it IS a material TO be much used
in the near future. The blouse Will
demand but a single layer over silk,
but It Will be doubled, or even trebled,
for gowns in order TO gain a certain
iridescent, OF rainbow effect. People
have chatted and argued about the
vaIue of chiffon cloth, commenting on
both its wearing quality and its actual
price.
Chiffon cloth, IN truth, is a safe in
vestment, and has no peculiarities. 1t
Is all II seems 70 be. IL will neither

hold it's own. as tulle will not.
