Sapphires Popular.

prevailed so long in the affections of the
well-habited woman. and the sapphire
reflects that wonderful blue which hints
Of Italian skies at night.
When well chosen. the sapphire may be
worn morning. noon, and night 1t har-
monies perfectly with the severely
tailored suit or the exquisite dinner gown.
The correct sapphire must not be OF
so deep a shade as to resemble a chip
OF coal. nor must II be a washed-out
blue which is absolutely characterless.
When it's a perfect blue the black
frock needs no other adOrnment than a
lovely sapphire drop attached to a small
chain. Complete sets OF sapphire orna-
ments are being worn after the fashion
OF fifty years ago. These sets include
a necklace. two bracelets and a brooch
or two. II the sets are intended for
evening wear, they include a band for

WHAT Is BECOMING
ISTRE RIGHTSTYLE
Don't Sacrifice Beauty in Attempt at
Being Fashionable.

How many women to-day, when II
comes to a question OF what to wear or
what not to wear, sacrifice their beauty
in a vain attempt at being fashiona BILE,
little dreaming that to look fashionable
one must be becomingly and appropri-
ately dressed? Such women often for
get to ask themselves, Is this gown or
hat becoming? No; their first thought is,
Is it fashionable? For. to them, TO be
out of fashion is to be out OF the world.
True. one must have style to look well
and be up-tO-date, but it must be ones
own individual style. and not that OF
even the great artist dressmakers. Not
to wear what. Paris sends over almost
sounds like treason to some Of these fool
ish vain women. Don't wear anything
that is not becoming to your own special
type OF beauty, no matter what great de-
signer's name is attached to a wrap or
gown.
And one learns these points from none
other than Paul Poiret himself for he
tells the woman who il aiming to be we'll
dressed to choose whatever is most be-
coming to her beauty-tightly fitting gar
ments or loose flowing ones, the strictly
tailor-made or the more elaborate styles.
Again. If the high waistline. such as he
advocates. does not reveal the good
points of ones figure, don't adopt It. The
waist line should be placed wherever be-
coming.
Still, again, Poiret says II fringe such
as he borders many OF his gowns with

kind of trimming that is
The woman. then. who would be well
dressed. must, above all things, select
lines, draperies and trimmings which are
becoming TO her, regardless Of their ex-

WOMENIN THE FOUNDRIES
BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

Apropos the investigation regarding
the employment Of women in foundries
in the State OF New York. there is
much to be said that cannot be COW
cred by appeals to sentiment, by cold
hard facts, or solid reasoning.
We are told, and truly told, too, that
the spectacle of women working In the
foundries is a disgrace, and the practice
is bitterly scored because the work is
unsuited to them and they are unsulted
to the work and because the conditions
are detrimental to health. When all else
has been said, the last word comes that
women should be kept out OF the foun'
dries and men should be substituted
even though the change might cost more
because of higher wages.
And when We hear that II Is wrong al
wrong, for women to be working there
we bring to mind the deplorable eondl'
tons of which the sgitators justly COM
plain and we say to ourselves: Yes, II
is quite true; these women should &c
home and look for other work.
Just OnenV Work.
And then we fall to thinking. We and
all the folk who say that women never
should have left the shelter of home FOL
the rough-and-tumble work OF the hard
hearted business world.
Whatever takes them to the foundry
Is 1t the lure of the molten metal? Not
so, for the foundry is neither a pleasan,
nor a wholesome place to work. The
temperature is abnormal. and clothing
must be reduced to the lowest possible
degree. There is danger of burns from
the hot metal and sometimes, Wher
things are not as they should be, tbs
place is smothered with metallic dust
which is extremely hazardous to health
And there are other conditions so oo'
jectionable that We are sure the foundry
is not a proper place for any woman t(
pass her working hours.
But the foundry is at hand; 1t OFFERS
work, which she must have. and so she

drifts to the foundry in lieu Of some
thing better.
The number of women involved in New
York State alone is quite small-not over
2oO-and IL a bar is put upon their en-
trance into that class of labor, II may
be well. But IL must not be forgotten
that when women enter any field of work
that is forbidding, dangerous, or other
wise detrimental, they go because II
stands between them and grim necessity
There are, We are told. many women
and girls who work just for pin-Tnoney,
but. be assured. they do not drift to such
places through any lighter lure than that
which comes from the steady, driving
force OF need.
And We do not see them, as some one
reported while ago, starting out at 3
o'clock in the morning, "a parade Of moth
ers. and children and baby carriages"
on their way to work, for the simple sake
of an extra bit OF ribbon. or a foolish
piece OF lace. Indeed and indeed, 1t is for
bread they work.
Paid Less.
That is why they turn to the foundries
and to other industries where the toll is
sadly detrimental to their health and to
themselves. But why do the foundries
and the other industries accept them?
Because they pay them a lower wage.
And as I thought OF the possibility of
those 200 women trooping out OF the foun-
dries and 200 men trooping in, the ques-
ton OF the unequal wage took on a very
sorry hue. II men can work longer and
better than women, then their pay should
be better, too; but II it is a question.
as many times It II, of nothing but who's
who, with the results exactly the same,
and IL women are paid less because they
men. then justice quite drops out OF the
scheme OF work.
And It is in the fields OF labor where
work takes the heaviest toll. where the
hours are long and the conditions eX
tremely bad. that the inequality strikes
the hardest OF ALL
Strange Things.
Just in passing. it is strange how things
sometimes go in the world of work Be
cause men are stronger and better fitted
for II, they frequently are put upon the
heavier machines. while women are given
the lighter ones. But the heavier ma
chimes move more slowly than do the
lighter ones that the women operate, so
that the work for men may be compare
lively safe, while for women the swiftly
moving machines are hazardous and lead
to many accidents.
Just In passing, too it is a pity that
women must enter the Industries where
the work is untitled to their strength
and hurtful to them at every turn, but
they go, not because they will 1t SO. but
because they must.

cambria for the foundation. First make
some motifs according to the directions.
until you have enough to start your lace.
Then cut paper pattern the exact size
and shape OF the finished work, lay II on
the back Of the cambria, trace around
the outer edge with white thread stitches,
long on the right side OF the cambria.
Now work the border, according TO the
directions. and haste it to the cambria
just inside your line OF thread.
Take the motifs you have made. sew
them in place securely on the cambria.
face downward, where they appear on
the design. You are now ready to work
the ground filing. following the directions
closely and making more motifs as they
are needed.
When Lace Is Done.
When the lace Is done. cut It away from
the cambria by clipping the stitches on
the back. Do not try TO rip through the
lace. 1t will pull away easily. Pull out
all basting threads, and the lace is ready
to do up.
This is a very important part Of your
work, and MI st be done with the greatest
care. Lay the lace face downward on q
soft. thickly padded ironing bed, the kind
that all embroiderers use; smooth out
each motif. lay a wet piece Of new linen
OF lawn on IT, and press with q hot iron.
Then lift the cloth and press directly on
the lace. This makes II crisp and firm.
and is the method to use also in freshen-
ing up old unused lace.

1t is the determination to succeed in

with truth, of the power and influence
