DILLON'S EXCLUSIVE
 MILLINERY DESIGNS
 ATTRACT ATTENTION

The ornate design and garnish col bring in the fashionable millinery to be worn this year is to be eliminated. Simplicity and modulated tone of none tine less richly distinctive colorings will be sought. A pleasing glimpse of the profile rather than a concealrnent of the features is ordained These facts were apparent from the elabor- ate, display of beautifully chic and at tractive Parisian models imported specially for. the occasion of their fall and winter opening yesterday by the well known wholesale and retail uail- street. Among the exclusive Partisan creations on exhibition and from which copies will be made are models from Camille Rogers Mime. Georgette, Mime. Carlier, Suzanne Talbot. Re boux and the Maison Lewis.
 PredOminating among the lavish col tones with few of the greens. Shapes are noticeably smaller than heretofore, though modu1ated Gainsboroughs are still permitted. Motifs have been se- lected from worldwide sources and range from the ancient Viking boat design, through the colonial types to far-away Thibettan and Mandarin lands. Individuality of feature is sought in arrapgement sof angle and lines extend backwards and upwards. The favored materials include felt velvet, erect-pile velvet, beaver, silk, long-nap plush, and moleskin. Trim mings include gold and silver braids, velvet flowers and. feathers, with the more lavish displays showing a pre- ponderance of two-toned ostrich ef- fleets and pheasant-taiI aigrettes.
 Of particularly pleasing proportions is a hat from the Maison Lewis, i'm ported at great expense, a large pie ture hat of the Gainsborough type, of black silk velvet, edged with two-tone ribbon and bearing an immense plume of ostrich feathers, extending over and below the hat. The feathers are 60 inches in length. Another model from Reboux shows a black matters plush crown, helmet-shaped with trim med band encircling the entire body. trimming of ostrich plumes- One from the back to the front laid close, the wards with pleasing effect. The plumes are 24 inches in length. A Suzanne Talbot model, of closely rounded form and projecting brim, de- pressed on the side to effect a. rakish- ness, of taupe molesl1in and white trimming of the same material, with white standing ostrich plume, is no- ticeably attractive. Another Camille Rogers model consists of a mushroom body covered with striped gold and black plush, surrounded by one long golden ostrich plume terminating in a boa which forms neck scarf. This design has also been effected in auto mobile bonnets and will undoubtedly be found of vast comfort to the wear CT.
 Many other designs too numerous to mention on exhibition as well as an assortment of domestic patterns which eclipse in variety and selection tempted.
 These are opening days and the handsomely appointed parlors are tax ed to their capacity.

Is there anything in life more inn Porfant for a woman to know than the art of cooking2 Every woman anticipates the care and mana cement of a home if she is not already estab- 1ished in one, and no matter how small the home may be. good cooking has a marked influence. The Y w
 e A. aims to give a good practical course in the buying and preparation of simple wholesome meals The in diVidual has a chance to try the re-
 ceipts and has the benefit Of a train ed and experienced teacher who knows her subject. Miss Preston of Pratt Institute will conduct this course.
 The course Tn attendant nursing which the association offers is the z7iy thing of it's kind in the city and - not only prepares women for the vocation of practical nursing but it gives wonderful opportunity to mothers. and home-makers for acquir- sng valuable knowledge which can all ways be used in cases of illness or the rearing and care of children.

ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
Odious Attentions to he Business Girl-HOw They EIude the Amor
 ous EmpIoyer-An Unpleasant
Dilemma.

Perhaps of all the dangers to which the girl who goes to business is ex- posed. that of the flirtatious employer Is the greatest.
 I couIn't help overhearing a couple ef pretty young business women on The car one morning, discussing what they termed the paving" of an elder
 From their conversation I glearned that the gentleman who paid them their salary deemed it his privilege in connection with this act to pat them on the cheek. playfully pinch their arms. jocosely rally them on a.s to ask them out to lunch on the plea that his own wife was uncon- genial.
 That they resented it was evident by the epitFets @OId FossiI.'' '.Blear Eyed Porpoise'' and other aimlarly uncom- siimentary terms.
 because the salary was something they could not afford to throw away. There was widow mother and a crippled brother to consider.
 Of course we who are sheltered and sSnow nothing beyond the home life worries cannot imagine how it it pos our somewhat narrow virtuous out look we would say, Leave at once as soon oe the first indication of fzTuilferity appears"
 From our point of view this is so simple. But thing of Saturday as the various bills of the week come in and the wage earner mas nOlnlnS 70 meet them Would this show of high and mighty indignation compensate for the worriment of mind, the won $dering what is to be done when things get behind, and the unceT tain chances Of finding a new place where the ern- ployer would behave himself7
 This view may seem sord1d, but iSn it natural7 And isn't that the req son that makes many of our girls stand for things that their own true ma tures despise?
 Of course it is and praise be- the great majority manage with that won sderful tact which even the youngest 6Snous how to use with the male ami nal. Somehow they evade. ca5oles and escape from these aged beaux. whose business seems to be the hiring Of pretty girls, who can last as long as they furnish them amusement but who would soon get their walking papers if the "Unhand me villain act were introduced.
 Any of us who have daughters who 1nJst go out into the world to earn their living should give them every possible warning against this type Of 1nan. Then trust to God and their own cleverness to manage to keep their positions and their self respect at the same time

 It is really a question. of etiquette that demands .considera ton from a moral as well as social standpoint. The mother who insists that her daughter must be in the house by ten o'clock, save on those occasions when theatre party or dance call for later hours, is perfectly right from every point of view.

FOOD FOR THE GROWING CHILE

Children that are not meat eaters and get the oxygen they need from milk, eggs. bread and cereals, are less susceptible to contagious and infec- tfous diseases.
 All the cream soups are palatable and nourishing for children so are barley. beans, Ientils, peasy celery, creamed carrots, dandelfons with very little vinegar, macaroni, raisins, rice whole wheat bread, rolled oat nuts gingerbread- and cookies, not too rich.
 Children who are much in the open and who take vigorous exercise, may nave cheese dishes and a little meat mutton or broth
 Cereals contain the necessary bone building elements
 Butter, olive oil, cream and milk are good heat and energy roducings foods
 Food for children should never be fried. Carefully boiled and baked po- tatoes are good for children. It is better to boil the potatoes without re moving the skins
