WOMEN WHO DO FANCY WORK

Most OF Them Cannot Afford It.
When you sec lot Of women SIT

may be sure that two-thirds OF them
are not able to afford 1t.
There are more crimes committed In
the name of embroidery than in any
other pursuit, amusement or occuDa-
ton that could be named without go

For instance, look at that nearsight-

outlast her eyes. I'm thinking, and
oeulists are certainly more expensive
than ready made waists, even hand
embroidered ones.

hooks and eyes, which are all missing,
and the buttons on her dress, which
hang by one thread? She can't get
along without them, can she? But, as
It Is, she feels she has no time 70 sew
them because she Is doing one polka
dot at time with exquisite pains on
that lovely cushion cover which she
will presently lay aside In camphor
and forget all about.

Arithmetic for Women; Also Practl-
cal Studies.

Here is the new kind of arithmetic
written for women by a woman. II
is the work of Miss Tessie Field,
school superintendent of Page county
la. 1t contains nothing whatever
about foreign money, cube root or the
binomial theorem, but instead there
are just the sort OF problems which
the average woman needs in her every
day life and which, be 1t said. she
doesn't get in the ordinary arithmetic
book.
The number OF women who have
been through the highest grades OF
school and still have to count on
their fingers is appalling. They have
had examples about bars Of iron, wells
and railroads, but they cannot divide
pudding recipe into correct frac-
lions, and they do not know how many
inches there are in three-quarters of
q yard.
This sort of thing makes the sensi-

Last and not least, the little woman
over in the corner is really poor. You
wouldn't believe it, for SHE has spent
$50 in the last two weeks at the local
embroidery shops. Yes, and she won't
be able to buy fall suit because of
her foollshness.
What she needs are shoes instead OF
sealloped border. a whole pair OF
stockings instead OF eyelet holes, and
new petticoat instead Of center
