SURAH SERGE WITH TRIM
MING OF SILK.

What is known as surah serge, or
serge that shows the weave familiar in
surah silk, is one of the later outputs,
and 1t makes most attractive costumes
for the early seasons wear. This gown
shows it trimmed with dotted silk and
the color Is one of the new cinnamon
browns that is beautiful and apt 20 be
becoming to many women. The design
Is a very new and a very attractive
one. The blouse is of the peasant or
der, cut in one with the sleeves, and
these sleeves are slightly bell in shape.
1t includes an unusually shaped yoke
and a little chemisette. which last, with
the under sleeve, gives an extreme
sense of daintiness. The skirt is made
in three pieces and laid in two wide
tucks above a deep hem. 1t is just a
little full at the upper edge, conse-
quently it suits this new soft serge
peculiarly well. Women on the outlook
for a good costume with which to open
the season will find the gown desirable
from every point of view. The mate
rial and the combination are both new
and fashionable, but, nevertheless, the
same model ear be made available for
different combinations. Serge Is to
have great vogue, but 1t is not the
only fashionable fabric. Satin will be
much worn and this gown made Of
satin would be exceedingly handsome
and the trimming could be velvet or
cloth. In fact, satin trimmed with
cloth makes ms of the latest novelties.
The trimming band on the skirt is APP
piled over the centre and if a simpler
effect is wanted, it can be omitted. The
same model could be utilized for CASH
mere, for henrietta cloth, for silk or
for any material of lighter weight.
Some of the French serges are thin and
in every way adapted to UGH use. and
any one of these materials combined
with silk, satin or velvet would make
a most attractive gown hat could be
worn for many occasions.
For the medium size the blouse will
require "a yards of material 81, IL
yards 36 or A inches wide and "a yard
of ~all-over lace for the chemisette and
under-sleeves; for the skirt will be
needed 6 yards 81, 4 yards SO or A
inches wide, with l yard of silk for the
trimming of the entire gown.

children men stole their rights. Wom-
en-, to begin with, owned all the prop
erty and lands. They cultivated the
soil invented manufacturing and
the arts.
The first government vas the
matriarchate or rue and the
children inherited through the mother
and took her name.
Finally through brute force man
everywhere lowered supreme. Centu-
ries of repression have lessened wom-
ans physical size, depressed her mem
tai action, ~subjugated her spirits, and
crushed her belief in the right to the
sanctity of her own body n that Of
her unborn child.
And what has resulted from this to
society? Humanity has scarcely adj
vanced a step in brain development,
physical perfection or moral excel
lence beyond where it stood thousands
of years ago, when man wrested the
ruleship of society from the mothers.
The supremacy of nan over woman
is a distortion and pervision of natures
intention, a crime against the Interests
of the race.

A Question of Age.
NV Dear Miss POINTER:

My Dear Miss POINTER:
I am a young woman about 81 years
old. l ave been going for some time
with a young man who works In he
same office. He is at least five years
my junior, but believes me to be about
Is. About a week ago he asked me to
marry him. While ] know he is in a
position to support me l have asked him
to let me ave two weeks to think 1t
over. 1 do not III to deceive him
about my age, but l am afraid that he
will cease to love me when he learns
the truth. Kindly advise me.
ANASTATIA.
If the young man really loves you
he will continue to do so. even when he
finds out your age. His affection for
you Is not a result of his thinking you
are IS, and it will not be decreased by
his knowledge that o are q. AL
though. as a rule, it is better for the
man to have the advantage in years,
nevertheless I have known some ideal
marriages where the wife was from
Ave to ten years older than the hus-
band. You are right in not wanting to
deceive your friend. There can be no

BY MRS. KATE TRIMBLE woOLsEY.

DR.. DeForest is the first man to cry
out against a condition which is rapidly
changing mans position in the world.
Suffrage is only one of the powerful
agencies which are hurrying in the
advent of the superwoman. Neither
the personal feelings of DR.. DeForest
nor of any other creature can alter
this tremendous fact.
. Our institutions are. built wholly
upon woman's economic dependence on
man, and when woman is economically
free it is inevitable that our present
forms of marriage, religion and laws
will topple to their ruin. Material con-

SUGGESTIONS for the Belt Line

slightly lower in front, but not exag-
lied the style a few years g
For short-waisted persons the belt
must be narrow. For long WASTED, a
high girdle will break up the line from
neck to hips.
If the belt line be faulty between
shirtwaist and. skirt, here are a few
suggestions:
Sew on the shirtwaist or blouse at
the back a tape that will correspond to
the natural waist line. Then add three
hooks with the projections on the up
per surface. Sew eyes on your skirt
bands to match, and hook the waist

1 am not referring to a convenient
line of cars thu you will discover in
many cities; 1t is of the waist line that
I wish to speak. AS an Introductory
suggestion, will you look at your
waist line? Gaze critically at the front,
sides and back and then listen to me.
The entire aspect of a dress, be 1t a
simple bingham frock for work, or a
more elaborate one for afternoon, can
be changed for the worse by a waist
line hat Is faulty.
When the line at the waist is de-
pendent upon a belt that is attached to
the dress, first haste the band on and
try on the whole frock before sewing
permanently. The line should be

and skirt together. The belt line will
be always neat.
Another method is to have the end of
a blouse free, cut to clasp around the
waist a piece of elastic that will grip
the folds tightly and firmly. If the skirt
band fits well. there will be no I'M
slightly gap.
If worst comes to the worst, two
safety pins ought to give a fair join
ing of waist and skirt-until you find
time to have a better.

. SILK, IN sERGEs AND TAFFETAS. ]

For tailored suits that will also be
used for a slightly dressy occasion
nothing could be better than a silk
serge. 1t is more difficult to handle in
making UP, but then the result is
worth any extra trouble.
Striped and changeable effects also
come in this line of goods.
Besides something new in serge the
new taffeta deserves mention. With
the craze for soft, sweeping ines taft
feta proves too harsh a material. Now
the chiffon taffeta has taken its place,
possessing all the lustre of the old
material without its brittleness and
allowing itself to be draped into soft
folds like chiffon.

DR.. Maud Glasgow, of New York,
is starting a public agitation in favor
of ome wearing trousers. She say
they should be privileged to wear his
common-sense clothes.
Nothing a be said against it on
the ground of ~immodesty," says she,
for there can be nothing . more i'm
modest than the present styles. Wom-
ep seem to have lost all sense of the
dignity of dress. Trousers would show
a great deal less of the contour of the
figure, less of the ankles, and would
be more decent than their narrow
skirts and low-cut waists"

WHITE FELT HATS.

Although everyone may not accept
the fashion OF felt hats for hot
weather, it is probable that they will
be the first choice as soon as the cool
weather comes back. They will make
admirable early fall hats. simply
trimmed. with a bow of black velvet
or taffeta ribbon.
One should not attempt to put any
thing ornate on them, although 1t is

To Clean Hat.

satin stripe of some kind of light goods.

nesia, but that wouldn't take all the
dirt off, n l was afraid to wash 1t for
fear it would shrink. Respectfully,

Remove. the spots by going over the
hat thoroughly with a cloth dipped in
chloroform. Then cover the hat with
fine cornmeal, corn-starch or flour,
wra it up in dark blue paper and put
it away in a box for a couple of days.
Then take it out and brush it thor
