There are SO many cases of Consump-

1.-THE WOMAN
WHO WORKS."

Time was when the woman forced
to earn her own living was an object
of commiseration in the community
in which she lived, but today the
pathos of her situation has faded into
oblivion. All women work now-in
their homes or in offices or at all
sorts and kinds of businesses and pro-
LESSONS.
The woman who must increase her
bank account receives wages; the
woman who works in spending her
bank account receives position and
eulogy. The rich woman whose
name Is in the society list of the news
paper and who is envied by the girl
behind the counter is doing twice the
work Of the latter IL she pretends to
keep up with the trend OF the times.
There are few women today who are
not doing a good eight hours "a day
work for their families, for charity,
for education, for politics, for civic
movement of some kind. The "spender
of the unearned increment" and "the
producing consumer" are Social
istic phrases that have bitten deep in
to the heart of our times and spurred
all women into action.
There are few Iie-a-bed ladies these
days. They are ashamed to complain
of headache and fatigue because it is
no longer fashionable or sensible or in
telligent to be an invalid. One is only
so under actual physical disability, but
not through imagination, nerves, or
Incidence. So much for the reason
why the phrase the working girl
has been turned into "the woman who
works" and is applied to all the sens
fble, forceful, intelligent women of the
day.

fashions, but unless one is chary Of
acceptance, bitter repentance often
follows the hasty purchase of a new
dress. A fashion destined in time to
become really very popular when mod =
flied to suit the requirements of good
taste often makes it's first appearance
in grossly exaggerated form. Not IN
til later does the woman of small
means who attempts 1t realize her
folly. Then her huge panniers, per-
haps, her abnormal sleeves, her slash
ed skirt, or whatever her particular
idiosyncracy may be, will not be laid
of, but like Sindad's burden, clings
to her until the turn Of fortune en-
ables her to shake 1t off. One need
not be afraid Of too great simplicity.
Indeed, it is better to err in that Ill
rection than in the other.
If she can have but one or two
dress up dresses, and is wise, she
will be quite content not to be in the
height Of fashion in that respect at
least
But there are many other ways in
which she can follow the leaders and
be essentially well gowned. She can
choose the popular colors for her
gowns and have them made of the
fashionable materials. The more up
to-date she is in that respect, the
longer may she wear her dress with
satisfaction.
AS to color, no matter what the par
ticular vogue Of the time, 1t is always
we'll to remember that discretion S
the better part, to dress soberly For
tunately modern taste dictates the
choice Of quiet shades for our street
clothes, and for once fashion. economy
and good sense are in accord. There

STYLES FOR
BUSINESS WON EN-.

However much woman may ad-
mire bizarre fashions, II her purse
permits her to buy but few gowns she
must shun any tendency to the freak
ish as seduously as she would whoop
ing cough or measles. Unless one can
become callous to being spotted by
a gown, care must be taken to select
inconspicuous material and conserva-
tive style for the dress which is in
constant service, or which must do
duty for several seasons. New modes
as they appear are undoubtedly at
tractive to a taste stated by older

SHAKESPEARE CLUB

Mrs. W. B. Ferriss was hostess at
the first meeting of the Shakespeare
club, held at her hospitable home on
North Baylen street yesterday after
noon from to 8.
The first act Of the Tempest was
read and discussed.
The Shakespeare club was a little
late this year in resuming its meet
ings, owing to the absence Of many
members, who spent the summer at
northern resorts, and so the meeting
was doubly pleasant as in addition
to the stimulus of club work was
added the pleasure of meeting again
and renewing associations, broken by
the summer dispersement. Miss Cora

Cardui certainly saved my life, Had
you seen me before l began taking it,
you would not think was the same
person.
I had suffered for five years with
womanly trouble, but Cardui made
me well, can't say too much for it"
You need not be afraid to try Cardui,
for in doing so, you are not expert
menting with a medicine of doubtful
merit Cardui has been in use for
more than fifty years, and its sale has
steadily increased each year.
In this half century of time, 1t has
helped thousands and thousands of
weak. nervous women. 1t is purely

proven value.
Try Cardui. 1t may be just the
medicine you need.

"sEIN' GOOD"

Sometimes ! get to wonderin' why
things that are so,
And just what makes 'em do the way
they do
Like why your eyes amt scattered
round instead of in a row,
And why the trees are green instead
of blue;
And then I wonder most Of all-it
seems so wrong and sad,
II this old world runs just the way 1t
should.
Why it's so smooth and easy like to
do the things that's bad,
And awful hard to do the things that's
good.
You take it long in June we'll say,
when swimmin' times begun
On Saturday it's cold or else 1t rains,
You could go in as well as not, but
'tisn't any fun,
And isn't worth the trouble and the
pains.
But Sunday mornin's hot and fine: the
water looks so cool
1t fairly seems to boiler at you, when,
All pr1mped and dressed and starchi-
fed. you start for Sunday school,
But faint no use, cause swimmin's
W4ChSo LHSn.
You mustn't eat the food you want
you've learned it times enough
What makes you sick most always
tastes the best;
But medicine that makes you well, is
always horrid stuff.
Like pills and oil and bitters and the
rest
You mustn't read the books you love,
bout fights with bears and things.
Because they're trash and not the
proper kind,
But histories and yarns about old dead
and dried-up kings,
Why, they're all right, cause they
improve the mind
Your new shoes always hurt your
feet. but goin' barefoots low;
Your best clothes always make you
feel the worst;
It's bad to hurry through your meals,
it's good to eat 'em slow,
And yet the last amt in 1t with the
first;
It's wrong for boys to make a fuss
when bedtime comes at night
Just when you want to sit up awful,
too,
But turnin' out at breakfast time Is
just exactly right,
So that's the thing. Of course. you
hate to do.
