BEAUTIFUL GOWNS
WORN In LONDON
Pink and White Prevailing
COlOrs at Court.

Pink and white is the seasons fash
ionable color combination in London The
Queen at one Of her courts wore a gown
of apricot and white satin trimmed with
gold lace that was much admired. A
gown worn by Lady Helen Grosvenor
was Of ivory satin veiled with silk mus
lin, embroidered in pearls and brilliants.
Her train was rose-petal pink satin, lined
with silver tissue, and she carried a
Goodyear bouquet Of pale pink carna-
tions and white orchids.
At almost all the court functions the
Queens preference for diamonds over any
other Jewels has been invariably mani
tested. Queen Alexandra, on the other
hand, had a marked preference for pearls
and colored stones, particularly anne
thysts, of which her majesty possesses
a beautiful parure, which does not form
part Of the crown jewels, but Is her own
private property.
One of the novelties of the season Is
the velvet parasol. 1t may be of the
finest black panne velvet, or of velvet
ribbon with white insertion Of an equal
width, arranged in octagonal design and
running round and round in alternate
black and white lines from center to
edge.

rows Of colored machine stltchings IN

DO YOU BELIEVE IN WOMEN
WORKING OUTSIDE OF HOME
Every Reader of the Washington Herald Is Invited
Frankly Express an Opinion Upon This Subject
Which Is Daily Growing in Importance.
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI

The women are doing something nc
man can do, for IL any man ever worked
around home he didn't keep it up a mo-
ment longer than it required to start
public applause.
Women Caring for Men.
With all this independence they are
not making a sacrifice of their homes,
and if there is a man who isn't better
cared for. now that his daughters, and
sometimes his wife, work for money,
where can he be found? He is better
groomed and better fed than he was
sixty-four years ago, when the male
prophets predicted that if a woman en-
gagged in a gainful occupation it would
mean the wreckage of that woman s
home
Some of these male prophets are in
control to-day. AS their ancestors fought
the employment of women in gainful oc-
cupations, so are they fighting the de-
sire of the women for the ballot. They
belong to the yesterday of their near
sighted for0fathers, and can't see that
If woman can earn her living and keep
her house at the same time, which mill
lions are doing, she can stop on her way
to work to cast her ballot without i'm
periling the sacredness of her home, a
sacredness which men treat lightly
themselves. and regard with reverence
only when they can use it as a club on
US in painting artistic designs
Do you agree with Miss Garside in her
statement that women can accomplish
the work of two people without neglect
ing either occupation?
Do you think that mothers should
train their daughters up to womanhood
with the idea OF going out into the world
to earn a living?
Do you believe that homes are nobler:
that the financial status of the world
is better because of the work of wo-
men?
Social and Moral Side.
Do you believe that social or moral
conditions are higher for this reason. or
do you think. with Mr. Kemper, that
close contact with men in business robs
woman of her charm: that, when she
enters into the commercial world, she
steps beyond her natural sphere and
avoids the responsibilities and obliga-
tions which nature and God intended
her to have?'
l hope that every reader will turn to
Mr.. Kemper's letter of yesterday,
after reading Miss Garside's argument,
which is republished by request this
morning. and then write me frankly their
own opinion in the matter.
This is a subject that is of very vital
interest to every woman, and also every
man, because it is question which
affects his home if he is married, and
his future home should he intend ever
to take unto himself a wife.
In publishing letters sent me names
will be withheld where it is so requested
so you need feel no hestancy in tell
ing me frankly whether or not you ap-
prove of the army of women engaged
to-day in remunerative work outside Of
their homes, and to state your reasons
for your conclusions.
Please write on one side of the paper
only and give your views as concisely
as you can.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-22

What is your opinion upon the subject
OF woman's work in the commercial and
professional world?
Do you believe that humanity has been,
or is, or ever will be bettered because OF
the work of the women who are engaged
in gainful occupations outside Of their
homes?
Since the publication yesterday morn
ing Of Mr.. Kemper's letter, written in
reply to an article published in The
Herald's Page for Every Woman last
Tuesday morning, many requests have
come to me to reprint Miss Garside' S
article, many having failed to give II
as close attention at the time of its pub
lication- as they would like to do now
that they have been asked to express an
opinion upon the subject under discus
sion, and which Mr.. kemper so fervently
argued yesterday.
The Disturbing Article.
The following is the article by Frances
l. Garside:
In the country at large about one
third of the single women between the
ages of fifteen and twenty-five are en-
gagged in occupations outside their homes,
and in the cities about 30 per cent, so
that nearly half of all the young women
in the country are at work.
Between the ages of twenty-five and
thirty-five about one-fifth of the number
are so engaged.
ITO the credit of this army of young
women who leave home every morning
to work downtown it should be remem-
bered that their work downtown is not
all they do. Unlike their brothers, they
co not sit down to a meal that is pre-
FN-- ~ fHnD
Unlike their. brothers, they do not add
to the family laundry and housework
without any thought of also adding their
help. The girl who works downtown also
works at home. She sews at night when
her brother rests and helps with break
ia st before he is out of bed in the morn
ing. She helps with the laundry work
before and after her office hours, and if
she has an occasional Sunday for an
outing it means that she was up before
daylight and did several hours work
before she felt free to take it,
Work without Credit.
1T is the double life that thousands of
good working girls lead; double life for
which they do not receive full credit.
Women are now engaged in all but two
of the 3O3 gainful occupations of the men
in this country, and have reached that
height of independence within the past
sixty-four years, and every woman who
sets type, or keeps books, or is a doctor.
a dentist. or a lawyer, or a more humble
salessirl, is leading the double life of the
humblest working girl; she is working
for wages outside her home and holding
up her end of her duties at home.
IF a ong the millions of men in the
world one gets breakfast. or holds the
baby at night while his wife gets din

course the girl who stands on her feet

The Heralds Latest Fashions.
illustrated. To-day Is a
Stylish Design for the
Developing of the Morn
ing Frock.

More and more every day women are
coming to dress according to the de-
mands of each separate occasion. The
dress which is worn in the street is
laid aside for a more simple frock when
milady enters the house. When she is
to have friends for an afternoon tea she
wears a more fancy afternoon toilette.
Again she changes for dinner and for
evening
The idea is a good one. 1t forces one
to be attuned in every way to changing
clothes retain their freshness as long
as they last.
, There was a time when the only
dress which women attempted at home
was a wrapper. and, although these
are both graceful and comfortable,
they are a little too negligee for the
majority. The house dress has taken
| the place of the wrapper and It is al
ways so neat and smart that II gives q
great deal of charm to the Mearer.

House Dress ALWAYS Simple.

The house dress is always built along
the most simple possible lines and sug-
gests by its appearance that IT is a
garment for real practical use This
does not mean that II need be ugly: on
the contrary, 1t is wise to take addi-
tional pains to make IL attractive in
fabric and trimming. since the style
is so very plain.
We illustrate one of the best styles
for a morning frock and one which
may be made of the simplest of wash
in the nature of cashmere, fancy serge,
and similar weaves. 1t can also be
made of taffetas and frequently is. and
then il becomes a very smart little af-
fair. which can be worn on the street
with one of the handsome long coats
so much in vogue at present

After so many years of absence that We

and surely nearly every woman loves
a sealskin coat!
Besides this. plush will undoubtedly
be used for cloaks and wraps to wear
over evening dresses. The new material
is soft and light in weight, and lined
with a contrasting satin, or a change
able silk, will be very popular made
into reversible coats. Besides, there is

PEACE PACT
PRESIDENT TAFT AND CABINET
MEMBERS ARE CONSIDERING
DETAILS OF ARTICLE.

Washington. May 2.-Seyeral tonta-
tive drafts OF the proposed arbira-
tion treaty between the United States
and Great Britain were discussed by
President Taft and his cabinet today.
Followin- the cabinet session, Socre-
tary Knox and officials of the state
department continued the discussion
of details and phraseology, but tonight
the president told callers that no draft
had been accepted as final, and that It
might be weeks before the treaty
could be submitted to the senate or to
Great Britain for ratification
Some Difficulties Disappear.
Some difficulties in framing the
treaty have disappeared, according to
the white house view tonight. The
criticism of the English newspapers
that the United States senate must
be consulted before disputes could be
arbitrated was hardly valid objec-
tion. the president thought.
The treaty will probably be general
in character. 1t will provide, accord
ing 10 he present idea, that when dis
putes arise between the United States
and Great Britain, they may he sub
mitted to arbitral court for settlement.
In the opinion of the president and
his advisers it is natural that the sen
ate here or parliament or British for
eign office should be concerned in ar
ranging the details for settlement OF
each DISPUTE
