MOTHERS WAGES

Some time ago bright little boy who
was on his way home after selling the
evening papers was proudly telling me
how much he was earning. l asked how
many earners there were at home The
reply was: Two, Father and l.
'And your Mother, doesn't she earn
anything?"
Mother! No; she doesn't earn any
thing"
what does she do during the day?'
I asked
"Oh, she is the first up in the morn
ing and the last in the evening she gets
breakfast, calls father, and gives him his
breakfast; then she gets the children
ready for school; while we arc IN school
she makes the beds, sweeps and gets
things in order, cooks dinner; after din
ner she mends, darns stockings aud
knits, and that's the way It goes all day
long"
"And what does she get for 1t !"
He laughed and said: Mother
doesn't work for money-that IS her oc-
cupation, and is supposed to be done BY
her."

gether rather than sewed. This is a
new feature prevalent in many of the
advanced models. Another very novel
idea in this coat consists in the pocket
flaps and the tab of the sleeve. They
are cut in one piece with the front por-
ton of the coat and the top of the
sleeve-that is, what ordinarily would
be inside the pocket is cut loose into
the pointed pocket-tiap, while the upper
portion of the sleeve is treated in the
same manner
The hat IS very popular model of
glossy white straw with a rosette of
white liberty satin at either side to hold
in place the scarf, which forms the bow
under the chin and the drape about the
crown The veil Grapes very easily and
firmly over this model, as the small
peaked crown holds it IN place.
Thin Rubber Coat
The most dressy, practical coat yet
introduced is one of thin white rubber,
of so fine a quality as to make it look
like a fine silk and wool. This makes
it equally as suitable to wear over q
thin summer frock, as its washable sur
face recommends it for long motor trips

simple, giving severely plain tailored
appearance to the garment, which is
cut very straight and loose, so as to
hang almost perpendicularly from Shout
der to hem. The high snugly-fittiug
turnover wind collar and cuffs are of a
color to match the hat, the black making
a very smart combination with the white
although maroon, tobacco-bFown or
deep oiive-green IS also very handsome
on white when used with discrimination
The front is double-breasted, fastening
on the right with FIVE large ivory but
tons on either side, the only other adorn-
ment being the huge square pockets, the
shaped flaps of which are ostensibly fast
ened down with three buttons Of smaller
size

black hat of more iaunty construction
is exceedingly durable, being made of
black mohair The brim IS faced in
pale-blue radium over which is laid
an ecru lace OF Oriental pattern. The
rose and blue, thus counterbalancing the
harshness OF the mohair, making a soft
frame for the face and bringing out
its color. The severity of the all-black-
ness OF the hat is relieved by a bit of
knotted black satin ribbon, which seems
to bind to the hat bunch of pink roses
and to form the ties which are knotted in
a French bow under the left ear. The
combination of pink with a touch OF
blue is excellent on black mass.

Could anything be more dernure than
the appearance OF the quaint little straw
bonnet and cape of the illustration? 1t
IS almost Quakerish in its simplicity.
The material is English gray mohair,
lined with pearl-gray taffeta, with the
fat-lying wind collar of darker shade
OF gray, short pile velvet, to match the
silver mountings of the mother-of-
pearl buttons. 1t is not only exceedingly
pretty, but most practical for a general
utility garment, and we'll adapted to
pleasant as well as rainy days, since mo-
hair wears well and sheds the water
easily. This makes it excellent for
rough weather, especially as the hood,
which is also lined with the taffeta, can
readily be adjusted over the head for
protection against wind and rain. The
wind collar which, as | have said, lies
fiat over the hood, is an admirable fea-
ture, as it not only gives nice line
about the neck, but, as you will see on
close inspection, it IS cleverly cut with
two points on the outer edge This
makes an inverted scallop that fits snug
ly underneath the low couture and IN
no way disarranging it or poking it out
into an ugly mass 1t also serves the
purpose of keeping out all the wind
because of its snug fit about the nape
of the neck

The Poke Bonnet

The little poke bonnet that goes with
this cape has an abbreviated brim. 1t
IS of soft silver-gray chip, which does
not show the dust and will stand much
brushing The under-brim is faced with
softly-shirred shell-pink chiffon. which
emphasizes the quality of pink com

a pale skin. The shirring is mounted
in a heavy cord, which makes an excel

A piece OF chiffon of the same pink
shade is held in plaIe by rosette-like
choux at the side and is then tied under
the chin in dainty bow.

CURTAILMENT IN
 BIG COTTON MILLS

New York, June 19.-The feature of the cotton goods market is the increasing cur tailment of large mills and finishing plants because of their inability to meet the low prices buyers are willing to pay. The jobbing trade has delayed the plac- ing of it's usual business on domestics for fall, and a movement is now being made for a final revision in prices which will be guaranteed to October. It Is hoped that this action will stimulate purchases and production, and thus prevent an abnormal scarcity which will lead to high CT prices when buying does start. Piece goods are in quiet demand. sales being in trifling lots Beached goods have ruled quiet all week Drills and sheetings are slightly easier for spot delivery, but mills are declining many contracts for late de- livery rendered at reduced values.
 On the last day of the week there was considerable nervousness in the trade traceable to the uncertainty in cotton speculation as affected by court proceed ings Export trade is dull with the far eastern countries but the miscellaneous trade holds up quite steady.
 Duck rules quiet with prices irregular. Spring lines of fine and fancy cottons are being opened and the showing of fancies is the best in the history of domestic cot ton manufacture.
 Spring lines of staple hosiery and un- derwear were opened during the week at prices showing very slight advances over last year and recessions in prices from those recently current on spot goods.
