was no considerable extra time even
in the seasons when the work was heavi-
est. OF the 100 women reporting only 8
per cent worked more than sixty hours a
week during the busy season and 20 per
cent from fifty-five and one-half to sixty
hours. When Il Is learned that Saturday
is frequently a five-hour day among these
establishments it becomes apparent that
on some OF the remaining five days of the
week over one-third of the women worked
more than ten hours.
Naturally women IN neighborhood de-
partment and small retail dry good shops
work longer hours than those in large
downtown shops. CuriOusly enough the
ten-hour law in the state does not affect
mercantile houses and women may be
made to work as much as the employers
wish In down town shops the hours are
from a. m, to p. m. with three-quarters

Women in
Workshops
of Chicago

Working hours of wage-earning women
In Chicago" is the subject of a study pub
lished in recent bulletin issued by the
bureau OF labor, Department OF Commerce
and Labor. This study presents the
results OF an investigation into the hours
of women in Chicago during the busy sea-
son OF 1869 before the ten-hour law went
into effect The businesses investigated
were paper box making, candy factories,
steam laundries, ready-made clothing cor
set making. department stores and elevated
railways. The Investigation was most
carefully inclusive of all essentials. Fifty
seven establishments, employing nearly
1850 women in seven industries were
studied. and 2,O06 women employees fur
nished personal data. OF the total women
employed in the seven industries. 6Oi were
under 49, The eleven paper box making es-
adjustments Investigated employed 1853 Of
the children and the eight establishments
engaged In candy making employed 1853 OF
the remainder. However, in Illinois no
child under l6 may be legally employed
longer than eight hours a day in any in
dustry The article treats only Of females
le and over.
In the candy factories the siN-day week
was the rule, but In the rush season in
some cases employees worked from five to
eight hours on Sundays-thirteen and
half 70 fourteen hours on the other days
Of the week. The busy season lasts from
eight to sixteen weeks and the great strain
on the vitality of these women and girl
workers is easily imagined. Il is reported
that OF f99 women nine worked ninety-two
and a half hours during single week and
isS from seventy-two to eighty-five hours.
The fact that the payment Is on a piece
rate basis is a partial explanation OF the
number OF hours worked
Paper box making, while Il cannot be
termed a seasonal occupation, has greater
demands before the holiday season begins
and seven OF the Chicago shops increased
their working hours from September /
until Christmas day. In seven shops there
was a total OF siSty-nine and a half hours
during the week ana taking the 575 women
from whom reports were secured nearly SO
per cent worked six-day week OF over
yfifty- nine hours. The five elevated rail-
way companies employ 2Si women as reg
ular ticket agents and have 100 more within

Fancy straws will come in for a
large share of favor this year. Red

Helmet SHAPES there are foo, but
these are severe and trying so it is
Iprobable that these late corners of
the winter forcing their way into
spring modes will make but few
springtime friends.
One cannot fail to notice the up

They droop at one side and turn alb
Iruptly upward at another. One very
smart model of white milan has a

and black as favorites. The sailor
with a brim that droops ever so
slightly for two inches of its width
and then turns up abruptly to the level
of the crown is one of the best
shapes of the season. 1t is practical
for all kinds of street wear with tail
ored suit, top coat or one piece frock
and becoming to all but the face which
is long and thin.
Wide brim sailors of panama and
milan with a roll edge are stunning
with tailored costumes.
In some instances the small feath-
cred ornament decorating the semi
tailored hats is set on the unders.lS
of the upturned br;m and the top OF

wide band of satin or velvet encirc-

But the spring hats are even more
captivating. Color schemes are so eff
fective and materials are rarely beal-
tiful The straws are finer and softer
and trimmings in many instances such
wonderful pieces of work as to be
quite beyond the powers of descrip-
ton.
One thing about these hats which
every daughter of Eve should bear in
mind is the way they are put on the
head. 1t is quite possible to make a

on the head straight when its designer
meant it to rest jauntily to one side
French modistes tie a white thread
in the center front of the brim and
this is supposed to come directly ovei

follow this custom. Others place the
seam of the lining in the center back

Velvet seems destined for another
season of popularity for il is used
extensively as "a trimming and in
many instances almost the entire hat
is made Of it, lace or metal tissue be-

Z is always black velvet that is used.
It is somewhat early for the flower
hat. We must wait another month or
six weeks for this midsummer head
gear to appear at its best. Wreaths
of tiny roses are used on small shapes,
this treatment making a pretty frame
for the face. OF the flower hats seen
none are prettier than the mushroom
of cloche shapes with dropping brims
apparently weighted down with deli
cate blossoms. Small flowers such
as roses, lilies of the valley, sweet
peas and wild flowers are used instead
of the larger varieties Some ostrich
feathers and aigrettes there are
wonderful in color and quality.
These are used on both large and
small shapes.
AS yet no one color seems to dom
mate spring millinery. i seems as
though one might choose any color
so long as 1t combines we'll with the
costume and find themselves in the
ranks of tho, fashionably dressed.
