II the dress materials were a bit less
soft and clinging in weave and texture
some of the much-draped skirts that are
being made now would acquire some
thing like definite bouffantry, If not the
actual thing. AS it is, however. the
draperies hang limp and fat, though
| sometimes in a multitude of folds
The new double-faced materials are
being employed in some very attractive
models from the underside OF the fabric
peeping out in facings, trimmings. and
sometimes in the very draperies or
panels themselves. Much is going to be
seen Of such effects the coming season.
Not only in gowns, but also in suits, and
in suits that are severely tailored. there
are many breaks in the lines of the
skirts. The gown in the drawing is one
of the simple models adapted to the
early season. II IS made of green and
blue checked cloth with the lower part
of the skirt straight and the tunic and
cape bias. The corners of the tunic,
turned back as they are, make an ef
fective contrast in the two directions of
the cloth. The girdle is cut straight.
The little cape with its velvet collar and
crossover straps is one of the pretty
models for warm fall days before coat
is needed.
Hats Higher Than Ever.
High-crowned hats are higher than
ever as some milliners are bringing
them out. There is the usual disagree
ment among milliners regarding the
fashions at this moment, when the styles
are betwixt and between summer and
fall Some of the new peaked hats are
almost grOtesque, and remind one Of car
nival costumes. Among the curiosities
are baby-like caps made of velvet and
Jockey caps in crepe de chine. Many
Of the hats, whatever their shape, are
turned up at the back to show the
chignOn Some Of the new models of
bizarre style are blends of velvet, felt,
and plush. One white hat was felt
trimmed with white velvet and white
fur. The all-white hat is out in all
these materials.
For trimmings the milliner has outdone
herself. There are lace aigrettes, lace
plumes flet pompons. eyelet embroid-
cry, wings, valenciennes lace frills and
chous and pompons, and so to the end OF
the chapter.
Turn Back from the Face.
The extensive vogue of lace has in
fucnCed the hats as much as any part
Of the wardrobe. Little hats have been
growing larger and big ones have been
modifying ever since the summer races
in Paris. good many hats turn back
from the face to leave the forehead un-
shaded. A very odd hat of soft fine
straw was big and dome shaped with
poppy petals scattered over it as though
a frolicsome breeze had left them in its
wake There are roses wired into stiff
stalks to serve the purpose of aigrettes
and curiously adapted natural forms of
all kinds
Every particularly cool day brings out
what are now frankly known as sum
mer furs" at fashionable watering places.
And tiny lines OF fur are seen on gowns
as well as coats, for contrast with the
fabrics of which they are made.
The liking for colored mousseline bands
at the bottom of lingerie gowns goes
steadily on, and one wonders II the fall
styles will renew the use of the effect in
velvets and satins for winter.

THIS IS 4 MANS WORLD.
HE RUNS 1T, YET BLAMES
WOMAN FOR ITS EVILS
BY DOROTHY DIX.

A fanaticaI and sensational preacher
and a millionaire bachelor have been
following in the footsteps of the father
Adam and blaming everything that is
wrong in the world on women.
Let me tell you," shrieks the clergy
man, who are responsible for the
wrecked homes, the scandals, divorces,
and demoralization of American society.
The women of this country"
1T would seem that women have no
idea of the real meaning of marriage,
declares the rich old bachelor. They
marry for a home to live out Of; they
marry a man to be away from him; they
marry, in fact, only to get divorced. so
they can choose a new husband or live
on the alimOny paid by the first one.
None of them knows how to cook or sew,
and. horrors! they would deny that their
good old homely grandmothers knew
how to wash clothes
These are two terrific philippics against
women and would be worth very seri-
Gus consideration-if they were true
Which they aren't. and before women
put on their sackcloth and ashes, and
begin beating upon their breasts and
CRYING out, 'Mea culpa," it would be
well to consider the sources of these at
tacks upon the wOmanhood of the land
First-The Preacher.
The first critic is a preacher, and
it is matter of common knowledge
that when a preacher wants TO denounce
some one in scathing terms the news
papers will notice that he alway:
chooses somebody that can't hit back
He doesn't thunder against drunkenness:
or immortality or stock gambling or any
other of the vices of men. Instead HI
breaches against the follIes of women
and declares that the length of willow
pIumes or peekaboo shirt waists is send
ing the country to perdition.
The reason for this is plain. Mer
won't come to church to hear them
selves abused and vilified, but womer
are such meek sheep that they trot
humbIy up to the slaughter, and it is
perfectly safe for preacher to call then
all the names he wants to. They will
be back in their pews next Sunday
Therefore. when a clergyman lays all
the sins of society at wOman's door he
should he regarded as speaking in mere
ly a PickwiCkian sense.
Nor should this rich bachelors dia-
tribe against women be taken too seri-
Uusly, for, if popular report does not
err. he is better acquainted with the Ia
dies of the chorus than he is with the
modest, quiet. domestic girls who make

hood. That may possibly explain why

LITTLE TOPICS OF
THE HOUSEHOLD

If ordinary sweetened crackers are
soaked in ice water for about ten min
utes and are then put quickly, before
they get warm. into a baking pan, all
dotted with butter and baked in a quick
oven until they are brown, they will puff
UP and be delicious for any sort of
little meal. About half level teaspoon
full of butter should be allowed for each
cracker.
Add stewed (or canned) tomatoes and
a minced green pepper to the scrambled
eggs and cook them slowly. lifting them
as usual during the process. A few
mushrooms cooked with a small piece Of
onion in butter before the eggs go in are
an Improvement and turn an ordinary
dish into something quite aristocratic.
Baked herrings are tasty for supper
on a cool fall night. Wash and clean the
fish and sprinkle thoroughly on both
sides with salt and pepper. Put into a
baking pan with about a tablespoonful
of vinegar, fasten a piece of buttered
paper over the dish and bake in a slow
oven for an hour.
Down on the New England coast, where
they know how to cook salt as we'll as
the standbys. Soak a pint of shredded
fish for two hours and drain. Parboil
four large potatoes that have been cut
into cubes for about ten minutes and
drain them. Then cook a slice of salt
pork cut into small pieces until the fat
is extracted and add a large chopped
onion. Turn in the potatoes, the fish
and a half pint Of boiling water and cook
until the potatoes are tender. Stir in a
quarter of a cupful of butter that has
been blended with two tablespoonfuls of
-four, add a cupful OF cream and simmer
for about ten minutes. Put crackers that
have been soaked in milk into the tureen
and turn tn chowder over them.
Peach puree makes a delicious intro
ductory course for luncheon on a hot
day. Peel ripe peaches. take out the
stones and press them through a sieve.
Allow a cupful OF water. the juice of half
n lemon and few drops of almond es-
sence to every cupful OF pulp. Sweeten

Still another viewpoint is taken To-
day of the work of women In the ousi-
ness world A woman who has engaged
both in the business of home-maklng
and of money-making, writes me:
Dear Mrs. Manz-It seems queer to me
that no one has considered your question
from the matrimonial advantages which
are undeniably the business girls over
the home girl.
I will give my own life as an eX-
ample. l graduated from high school
and went to my home in which servant
does the actual work. There was no
special occupation for me, and yet there
was no financial necessity for my work
ing outside of my home.
There were two reasons that I de
cldcd TO go to work. One was that l
was not The tea-rose sort of girl who
could pass her time playing bridge OF
fitting around to parties and be happy.
The second reason was that I believed
that l would have a better chance OF
meeting the solid substantial sort or
men | admire than l would have at
home
Motive Attributed to business Girls.
although they may not be frank
enough to admit it, I believe that the
latter of these two motives prompts
many girls to enter the business world
girls who are not compelled to do so
through financial stringency.
Il did not go out husband seeking. l
had nc desire to marry at the time I
went t. work, although I knew that II
ever the right man asked me 1 would
want a home and family, as every normal
woman does and should.
Il was ambitious and worked hard. /
won the respect and friendship of the
men who were my superiors in business
and married one of them, a man whom
would never have met had I frittered
away my time in doing nothing at home.
"A girl usually marries in the environ
ment in which she is thrown, and l be-
lieve the business woman has more op-
portunities to marry good substantial
men than the home girl has.
1T has been neither my experience nor
observation that men hesitate in marry
ing business women. They know that
they will find in them more understand
ing companions, more appreciative wives
and homemakers than the girl who has
no conception of a mans work down
town, and who can talk to him of
nothing but domestic affairs.
IT believe that the business woman has
a mind that is so trained in the econom-
les Of business as to enable her to run
the business of homemaking with greater
success than a girl who has no business
training.
Il believe that the knowledge she gains
in a business life is protection to her

are more interested in a mans pocket
book than they are in his heart.
But are the charges thus brought
against the women Of America true? I
answer no, a thousand times no, and
every honest-minded person will agree
with me-
To begin with, there is nothing the
matter with the American home. 1t is
not tottering to its fall 1t is as safe
and stable as the rock of Gibraltar. A
home in which there is dissension and
warfare. a, home that is ill-kept and
neglected, is the exception and not the
rule.
A Few Foolish Ones.
In every community there are a few
foolish dress-nad, fashion-mad, bridge
mad, automobIle-mad women, but these
are in a small minority compared 10 the
number of devoted wives and mothers
who work every day beyond their
strength to make their families COM
Portable and happy, who deny them
selves everything they can possibly do
without to help their husbands and chill
dren, and whose lives are one perpetual
sacrifice upon the altar of home.
Show me one neglectful wife and
mother and I will show you 100 who
have no thought but for their families,
no aspiration except that which is CEN
tered in those dearer than life to them.
Nor are there any other homes in
the world better or more intelligently
managed than American homes, and the
proof of this is to be found in the fact
that the American woman does not per
init herself to become the drudge that
foreign women do. She does not degen-
crate into merely an upper servant. She
gets her work done, and finds time be-
sides to belong 10 clubs. to read, and to
make herself a companion for her hus-
| Dand and children.
The proof of the pudding is in the eat
! ing. and that American women make
| good wives finds its best confirmation
| in the fact that American men prefer
| them to the women of any other nation
ality. American women often marry
| foreign men, but an American man sell
dom picks out a foreign woman for a
| wife.
AS to the clergyman's charge that the
women of America are responsible for
| the scandals and divorces, why is il,
then, that the divorce statistics show
that more than three-fourths OF divorces
are granted TO women, and the major
ity of these are for infidelity on the
husbands part?
I am not contending that women are
angels Far from II. But 1t Is both
upjust and untrue to charge them with
all the sins of society. It's the easiest
way out for the men. but after all this
is a mans world. He makes its laws
and its codes. He runs ii and he Is
responsible for it. Not woman.

against making foolish marriages, and
that there are few divorces in the homes
where the women have had business eN-
periences.
Il think the business woman makes
better mother because she understands
the world and life better than the girl
who has had no experience outside Of
her home.
Summing up these reasons, a clear
eye can surely see that they prove that
the world is bettered financially, moral
", and socially through the work OF
women who engage in the remuneratiVe
occuations outside of their homes.
