when not performing their natural
service, for the fastidious woman
never thinks of leaving her hatpins in
her hat when she takes it of any more
than she does Of leaving her stays
laced up as they are when she dis
cards them OF dons them.
For holding these large headed hat
pins. which are much too long to find
a safe anchorage in an average pin
cushion, special silver vase-like hold
ers have been devised to hang up at
one side of the dressing table ready
for use The mouth of the vase Is
broad enough to allow the heads OF
the pins to separate, otherwise the
jeweled and .enameled knobs would be
rubbed against each other, with disas-
trous results. The. modern batpin is
too thick in, its, stem to be thrust
easily into or be Withdrawn from a
cushion. The vase holder makes this
operation quite simple and easy.
The new holders are much longer
than any that have been made before.
The daintiest ones are fashioned Of
filigree silver with a solid base Enam-
eled holders are attractive and they
can be had In colors to match the
room. The newest pin trays are di-
vided into compartments formed by
small ridges, so that black and white
pins are not mixed up with a kaleido-
scopic tumble. Trays without such par
titions should be reserved for GER
tain kind of pins. and then small
cushions will. do to hold the others.
No woman wants to be at the mercy
of a jumbied up pin tray when she is
dressing in hurry.
Glass and silver combine to make
charming toilet and dresser articles.
The pin trays and small boxes made
Of thick beveled crystal set in cut out
silver stands are most attractive.
They are dain;ier in some ways than
ali the silver trays and have the ad-
vantage Of not showing scratches. IL
the crystal part breaks another one
can be fitted in. In all else but the
shape these pin trays resemble those
dainty little dishes designed to hold
slices Of lemon for afternoon tea. The
lemon dishes are round OF oval and
have very slsnting sides. while the
pin trays are oblong. as a general
thing -..

TIYP4YERS TO MEET.
Municipal Economy To Be Discussed
on Tuesdau.

Harrington Emerson will address the Greater
New York Taxpayers Conference on Tuesday af-
ternoon at the ro9ms Of the Board OF Trade and
Transportation. No. a3 Broadway.
In speaking OF this meeting Allan Robinson,
chairman OF the executive committee OF the con-
ference, said yesterday: Mr.. Emerson viii have
something to ssJ to the taxpayers OF New York
which believe will put a aspect upon the
problem in municipal economy. HIS work IN con-
nsction with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
road Is already known to have resulted IN saving
that corporation many hundreds OF thousands a
year According TO Mr.. Emerson, the work of
every employe Except inventory be made
the subject OF Standardization and records kept
OF his efficiency for future action
There doubt first in my mind
whether his methods adapted to the problem
of running q municipal Office. but after comforting
with Edgar J. Levey. who has had experience in
the running OF a business and municipal Office.
both confident that II way be
found by which Mr.. Enerson's services can be Sc
cured for the city the result would be the saving
Of many millions OF dollars year to the tax
payers. This work OF Mr.. Emerson is not intended
TO encroach upon the splendid work being
done by the Bureau OF Municipal Research. The bu-
reau's work is largely that establishing correct
accounting methods for the city. Mr. Emerson
deals with the more personal problem OF the indi-
vidual by showing how his work be made more
efficient. The adoption of both OF these systems
will be necessary before proper administration Of
the city can be secured"
