Women and Civilization.

Woman had little to do directly with
the shaping of old civilization. but We
can not help thinking that our modern
sense of life and its more real and
human investment are largely and d.
rectly due not only to spiritual quail
tiles and distinctively feminine, but
to feminine initiative In the clarified
light of the soul womanhood has been
translated.
The woman is still the mother, but
maternity has for our modern vision
a significance which is not merely
physical, but spiritual-in its fullest
meaning 1t is the liberation of hu-
mainly for finer uses. She is nearer
than man to the new Nature, as she
was to the old. But our ultra-modern
naturalism has a pellucid atmosphere,
full of light, and there is clearer
vision of truth. The humanities and.
we might also say, the divinities, have
been transformed A delusive net
work of sophistication has vanished.
The terms masculine" and feminine"
have no longer their old elemental
or conventional meanings.
There is, or there is becoming. new
woman and a new man, and the dis
tinction between them Is not one of
spheres" No exaltation of life, here
or hereafter, could be humanity inter
esting or at all human in which wom-
an did not have her proper share
and her peculiar distinction. This
share and this distinction woman has
had in the great modern renaissance.
She first brought the creative imagi-
nation within homely bounds. But
here we touch upon a field to which
we must give separate consideration.

The new colors are all subdued. del
icacy and refinement adding charm to
their beauty.
Wide vale serges and other coarse
weaves are worn by girls more than
the smooth cloths.
The newest couture is Hat in front
and piled heavily over the ears. 1t is
called the Brittany.
Jet buttons are a favorite mode of
adding the invaluable touch of black
to a colored garment.
The new felt hats are lovely. the
felt in many cases being difficult to
distinguish from cloth
Many of the handsomest silk gauzes
have printed borders which work well
into the new draperies.
The spherical button in gilt and also
in silver is appearing among the novel
ties in dress trimming.
Black waists are popular and are
shown in net, crepe, wolfe, messaline,
taffeta, MORE and satin.
An extremely smart white felt hat
with brim that dips on one side has
two quilts as sole trimming.
There is little limitation upon the
length of sleeves, but the general tend
ency is toward shorter ones.
Coats for fancy wear have lace in
sertion on the collar. 1t is usually
placed to form an inset panel. Again,
lace is used on the cuffs, entirely COW
ering them, and a belt is designed of
lace on the cloth and cut to point low
at the front. All pieces are stitched to
the jacket.

NeedIeworlS Note.

Bride EYE stitch is an effective out
line stitch.
A dainty jabot is of green tulle with
a batted lace bow.
Raffia embroidery is one of the pop
ular novelties of the season.
Ivory rings are better for fancy
work than the brass ones, as they do
not tarnish.
An unusual and pretty handkerchief
is of sheer white linen, with wide
border of hemstitching forming checks
of an even size.
For the marking of household linen
the regular marking cotton which
comes for the purpose should be used.
1t is much more satisfactory than linen
thread.

Back tn the Curves.

Couturiers are following closer the
lines of the figure than at the begin
ming OF the season. That is to say
that now since Parisians have re-
turned from the country and invested
in new corsets. their figures are some
what more reasonable. The corsetiers
have decided that they have been muir
dering the feminine figure long
enough, making only lines and angels
where curves ought to be. However.
things have not yet adjusted them
selves, and the normal figure will not
be with us until next spring.

time today said Mrs Deeson, com

cheeks. u know I'm a little late,

Deeson assured his wife that wait

bagatelle compared to her enjoyment.
Deeson had not been married long
enough to see the seriousness of estab-
fishing a domestic precedent.

cheek
"You always take things for grant.

Deduction, my dear. First, you
asked me for money this morning,
which I cheerfully gave you with the
cheerless remark that it was all ! had,
because had loaned some to a friend.
