WOMEN IN BUSINESS
CAN NOW BE cLAsSED AS A DIS.
TINcT TYPE.
She Has Taken Her Place In the
World, and This Has Been Ac-
complished Without Any
Loss of Her Femininity.

The business woman has become SO
great factor in the commercial
world that one is no longer able to
classify her by her appearance, as
was the case a few years ago, when
a glance was sufficient to identify her
type. In the days when she first en-
tered mans sphere she initiated her
successful brother not only in n eth
DDS, but also in costume, wearing a
severe tailored suit, plain sailor hat
and common sense shoes.
Today she dares to be frankly fem
mime and goes forth in purple and
fine linen. Not only does she re-
sembIe her more prosperous sister,
but she has also blended the symbols
of her various professions till one can
no longer tell at glance whether she
is stenographer, actress or lawyer.
At the typewriter agencies it is in
teresting to note the appearance OF
stenographers as they wait to apply
for employment, says the New York
Sun. Here is small blonde girl
with large blue eyes, wearing tight
dress and tilted hat and showing evil
dence of the chorus. There refined,
delicate young woman shrinks against
the wall, the kind of girl who will
gladly accept home when the right
man offers it. Just beyond her
stands a gray-haired woman, earnest,
patient, dressed In worn skirt and a
neat shirtwaist, intent upon securing
work not only for today, but also for
tomorrow and for all other days.
The educational ranks have also
undergone a change. Years ago, and
not so many years either, one thought
of a teacher is a prim person with
spectacles on nose and ruler in hand,
yet by far the greater number Of mod
ern teachers are bright-faced bachelor
girls, loving their charges and loved
in return.
Another interesting phase of tie
new feminine element in business is
it's youth and vivacity. Several weeks
ago on the pier of one Of the large
steamship companies stood two girls
talking earnestly. The elder was the
American representative of foreign
firm and prior to sailing was going
over routine details with her secre-
tary, golden-haired girl of about
twenty.

Death had removed q long suffering

nights rest, and the petty annoyances

adores committing. Her old chief had
learned to run through his morning

IN THE SMALL STORE
"SUDD" NEW AND CHEAP FUEL
Discovery That Will Prove a Source
of Wealth to Egypt and Bids Fair
to Displace Coal.

The strange announcement Is made
abroad that good fuel can be made OF
the raw material of which the ancient
Egyptians manufactured their paper
An Anglo-German syndicate has been
formed to compress into briquettes the
rank growths of papyrus and other
reeds, locally known as sud-, which
cover an area of $4,000 square smiles
on the upper Nile and obstruct navi.
CATION
The Sudan government has to main
tain a service of dredges TO keep
channels open through the morass,
and for some 200 miles it is impos-
sible to get fuel Of any kind, as the
river channel has no banks and the
dredgers depend for their coal supply
on Khartum. Coal or coal briquettes
at Khartum cost $3.50 ton, while
wood is but little cheaper The cost
of transportation is the great handi-
cap to the employment of any other
fuel, such as oil.
Now the obstructing material itself,
the sud-, is going to be cut, chopped
and compressed into slabs on the spot
at the rate of fifty tons a day. The
promoters declare that the sudd fuel.
being So or 40 per cent. cheaper, will
almost Immediately replace coal on
the Nile steamers and the Egyptian
railroads. The heating value of COM
pressed sudd is nearly two-thirds that
of coal, while its density is about four
fifuhs.
Boiler tests with the new fuel have
been made at Magdeburg and Merse-
burg and have given excellent results.
The experiments were watched with
interest by representatives of the
British and German navy departments.
but whether sudd will adapt itself to
navy requirements remains yet to be
seen.

LINEN LUNCHEON SETS
HOW TO MAKE PRETTY CENTER,
PIECE AND DolLIEs.
One Cannot Have Too Many of the
Latter-Lace Squares or ovals
Are Generally Used for
the Mats.

The omission of a tahlecloth for
breakfast and lunch is so general that
40 housekeeper can have too many
plate doilies. This Is a tip to the girl
who Is wondering what she can give
wealthy friend.
1t is possible with little effort to
make complete luncheon set, CEN
terp1ece, plate doilies and tumbIer
dollies to match. The first should be
overweight or thirty inches in
diameter, the plate doilies nine inches
md the tumbler size five and a half
anches.
Use good round thread linen of
nne, firm grade, as some women do
lot care for the coarse crash effects
Cor table use. If possible. get hand
bleached quality. 1t costs more. but
wears much better.
Both colored and white embroidery
are in good style, but if elaborate
work is to be done the all white set is
more satisfactory, as 1t stays in style
longer and washes better.
Do not attempt more elaborate de-
signs than you can do we'll. There is
nothing uglier than rough, coarse en-
bro1dery and simple chain stitch or
brler stitched set Is prettier than bad
ly worked satin or eyelet stitch.
A novel effect in arranging rows of
scallops is to form shallow pyramids,
pointing to the center. This needs
careful measuring and some computa-
ton before any stamping is done.
Arrange the designs for the three
sizes on paper, and trace or take an
Impression from that. It takes less
time and is more accurate than to
draw on the design free hand.
A crocheted lunch set Is always in
favor and lovely simple patterns can
be found
If you want this kind of set to be
appreciated wclK firmly, as the loose
mats will not launder in the stifl
forms now in vogue for such mats.
The girl who does lace work can
make exquisite lunch sets at small
cost. A tilet set with a nineinch
square for the plate dOilies, a siX-inch
square for the tumblers and 25-inch
square for the centerpiece makes a
handsome gift If finely done
1t is more novel to use just the lace
squares or ovals for the mats than to
combine with linen or other lace. The
hostess can use them over q color for
variety. Edges are sometimes fin.
ished in a buttonholed Vandyke, or If
the machine net is used the strands
are turned in along the bar and but
tonholed over to make straight edge
a quarter of an inch deep.
1t Is often possible to pick up sets
of lace motifs that can be applied to
linen at bargain prices. The Irish
crochet medallions sold by Armenians
by the dozen can be turned into
handsome sets by combining with a
little hand embroidery in satin stitch
and cut work.
Another good looking set for one
who does not embroider is made by
combining small lace squares with
cluny or filet insertion. These can be
finished with narrow picot edge OF
with an applied linen hem.

a Chance of STYLE.

Though it is the fashion to speak and
write as though petticoats' were no
more, it is only the extremists who al
together dispense themselves from the
wearing of such garments. 1t is a
sign of the way the wind is blowing
that silk petticoats are again being
largely stocked up by the big stores,
and that at their sales it was not silk
that was being disposed of at fabulous
prices, but clinging frilled and fringed
petticoats of satin that were marked

Salad Pyramids,

About one pound Of cold new pota-

a little grated horseradish, and some
salad dressing. With a round cutter
cut out equal sized rounds of potato,
beet and cucumber, the slices to be
about one-eighth of an inch thick Ar

should be rather smaller rounds. Put
a. heap of very finely chopped grated
horseradish on the top of each. Ar

Linen ParasoIs.

Now that we seem to have gone in
for everything washable, which spells
freshness as well as expense, there
has arisen demand for white linen
parasols. The covers are embroidered
or trimmed with openwork. They can
be fastened to the frame when they
come from the wash without the help
of a professional Some Of them are
lined with orange or emerald green
china silk, but the majority are en-
tirely plain
When one wants to use them in the
afternoon with good-looking thin
frocks, it is an attractive touch to
add a large bow Of colored ribbon to
the handle.

Mhsn the Minister Scored.

In a contribution to the Christian
Register. Thomas +. Slicer tells this;
Some men the other night, in con-
versation with me, knowing l was a
minister-and it is the spirit of this
time to put it up to a minister IN
terms at least of gentle satre-said:
We have been discussing conscience
and one of them said, I have given q
definition of conscience; it is the yer
micular appendix of the SOUL and they
laughed. And I said, That is a good
definition in your case; you never
know you have it until it hurts you
Then they did not laugh"

Among the new tunics that have
been devised in the midsummer Is one
that is directly copied from the Tan
agra figurines. These little statues have
given many ideas to the dressmakers
this season, since the classic styles
have been so much in fashion.
The drapery must be thin and sup
pie. 1t is over skirt Of itself or one

only kept for elaborate gowns, but is
used with lowered organdies, with fig
ured marcuisettes and With allover
