The Usc of Brocahes

One usually associates brocade with
something very heavy and stiff. but
this season some of the most supple
materials are brocaded and made suit
able for the ieune file. Rrocaded
chiffon velvets for evening wear would
appear to be among the seasons ia
%vorites. and the fashions are for their
use or for plain satins yelled. Eyes
have become so accustomed to the
complications of the toilet as shown In
both these fashions that anything in
the nature of a plain dress without
either yelling or brocading looks in
expressibly dowdy.
And the tapering figure. with its
narrowing line to the feet. is still the
.favorite silhouette. Some of the re-
cent evening models are SO tight with
their little ~tishtail trains that it is ex-
tremely difficult to walk in them,
Progress in a tight dress is at no time
Il pleasure, hut last season made one
so accustomed to picking ones steps
and so lost to all sense of shame when
the tiShtness of ones skirt caused an
obvious fall hat there is no revolt
against the continuance of the fash
ion. One can get used to anything.
However. the tight effect in brocade is
rather pretty. and is alluring in its
simplicity for a jeune file.

Ambitions Of Women.

The recent death Of Mrs. Harriet

emphasizes the strange differences in
woman. particularly when there is an
element of danger and novelty in

Miss Quimby had already made
quite a comfortable and digniied
place for herself as a writer, but the
fascination of the air tempted her to
work for a pilots licence. which she

of fear did not protect her. for she
has made her last fight.

Apropos the difference between
women and the strange pursuits that
some follow, in Oregon there is a
woman supervisor of schools who finds
plenty of adventure. novelty and some
risk in her work.
Miss Van Dibber is a tiny, 100.
pound woman. and when she was ap-
pointed a ear ago to look after the
coast district many a wisacre dubious
ly shook his head and protested that
it was no place for a omar And it
really seemed so. Because, you see.
there is pretty nearly everything to
reckon with in a mountainous dis
trict, covering nearly $50 miles. But
il was the district she selected, of all
others, and she seems to have made
no mistake.
At any rate. the story comes from
the west that parents. teachers. chill
dren n all have grown very fond
of the little woman supervisor who
tours the long distance largely on
horseback, sometimes by stage or
boat. and occasionally tramps along
on foot and that they are ready to
do whatever she SKIS to make her work
and theirs yield the best results.
The schools are scattered. difficult
to reach; and school conditions are
primitive to a degree. Sometimes the
roads are primitive. too. particularly
in midwinter and it makes one smile
a bit to think of some of our fastid-
ious eastern women workers follow

TALKS TO THE DUTCH.
Governor Wilson Makes n Speech at a
Picnic in HoboI<en.

Hoboken, N. J.,LAug. Ex-Governor
woodrow Wilson addressed the annual
picnic of the Platt Deutscher Volkfest,
a German-American organization from
the entire metropolitan district here.
1--WE are asking ourselves this ques-
ton" said the governor, "as we face
the coming election in November
Which is the open road to ge- what we
want ?''
A mar in the heart of the crowd took
advantage of his rhetorical pause and
answered Taft" There was a mo-
nent's silence when another voice
nearer the front shouted:
Wilson"
The crowd took it up and cheered.
When the demonstration had subsidized,
the governor pointed in the direction of
the man who answered Taft and con-
tinued, with smile:
ssOur friend over there is perfectly
welcome to use his road. but If he goes
that way, he will find he is in blind
alley because there is one thing that
was proved at Baltimore and that is
that the people of the United States
choose their candidate and the bosses
do not

sihility of the government in making
this country attractive to the foreigner
