HOME KAIKS
b Y b "a P-P AP-A BNOTD


HE charge is often made that business and professional life ia m
fitting women to be home-makes. The downfall of the home ia
| l blamed upon womans invasion of business, and the woman who
~ earn her living is looked at skance as having lost all taste for
the domestic sphere.
But If you look into the matter a little deeply. are these charges
true? Aren't there some things underneath the surface of this change in
woman's life that are worth considering?
Does not the woman who spends her days in a store o office or
making an exhausthg round Of professional calls appreciate a home
than the woman who lives at home day in and out? Has she not the
san appreciation of It that the business a has?
And like the business man, she knows after a day of hard work,
what Is most wanted in a home. Few things open a womans yes to
the real essentials OF a home like returning to 1t at night exhausted from
1t means to find order and comfort and cheer and rest waiting her. To
step rom the rushing, wearing world OF work into a haven of peace
where there is n o unkind word, where every taste and wish o. the worker
ave cen considered, is to n a home In Its truest sense. And nobody
comprehends this better than the business woman. The woman who has
never had a experience IN the business world cannot understand how
much this means.
Aud IL you know thorough-going business q will fd that

ave made their apartments as coy and comfortable and home-Hke a
possible. They have pictures and flowers and dainty curtains, and possibly
\ little teatabl and chatting dish. The domestic instinct in them has
expressed itself as much as it can. It hasn't died out.
M not only does a business woman or professional woman ppre
ciate a home, but her business experience has given her the ability to
manage a home. And by a business woman is meant the capable woman
who handles whatever may be her work thoroughly. The careless thought
girl who Ia performs her duties, and whose mind is IN something
other than her tasks will make no of a success of housework than

MILLINERY MODELS ARE MANY
Designers Have Been Busy, and Sure
iy All Tastes May Be Satisfied
With the Styles.

A neat little morning hat with a
helmet crown and curled brim made
of sapphire blue straw has a couple Of
lime green feathers upon it and no
other trimming at ala curious com
blnation Of dyes, but quite pleasing.
Another model is of the beret shape,
developed in a chip of a steel gray
shade; on the dropping side of the
crown is plastered a perfectly fiat
bunch OF roses surrounded by leaves.
The flowers look as if they had been
pressed in a book
Pure green, pink and orange are the
cOlors Of the buds that in sections of
each color make a strange decoration
for a cinnamon colored straw hat, all
the stranger since out of the center
of the flowers rises a handful of cerise
plumage.
AS if In feyerish zeal to produce
novelties, the milliners are making
wings of straw and flowers, and straw
ribbon is quite an ordinary anomaly.

does not need to be washed as often
as lighter ones, but this may or may
not be considered an item in its IA

frightened by small touches of the
