THE GIRL WHO WORKS
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

kkVV7HAT impels such q large num-
w Der of girls to apply for posi-
tons as telephone operators
in preference to going into offices and
shops?" I asked the manager OF an
exchange.
His answer showed what an absurd
way numerous girls look at their
work, actually as something to be kept
from public knowledge as much as
possible. consequently as something
that degradeS them. Girls are eager
to secure positions at a telephone ex-
change" he told me, because for one
thing, they have privacy here. With
in our building a girl comes in con-
tact only with her fellow workers.
Whereas in the shops she is in the
public eye continually in her role of
worker in view OF the friends she is
used to meeting socially. And that is
not the way she cares to be thought
about In fact, some girls dislike to
be looked upon as worker as much
as a man hates to be considered an
idler. Moreover, at the exchange she
merely serves a voice instead of a per-
son. That gives her a more indepen-
dent feeling than IL she stood behind
a counter, forced to wait upon every
kind and type of customer. She has
the foolish idea that when she gets
goods out at the request of some one
less refined than she is, she lowers
herself in some way. She does not
seem able to ignore the personal ele-
ment in her job"
What a wrong idea OF work a girl

WHAT YOU OWE TO HOME
BY MRS. McCUNE

~ D. GIBSON has caricatured the
4, American mother and daughter,
- drawn truly pitiful pattern of
the American papa. He is a ny,
worried sad old man, burdened with
the enormous responsibility OF an ex-
travagant family. The wife and
daughters are Junos and Venuses, al
ways dressed in the latest styles, who
may care for poor pepper, but who
certainly don't seem to. They fly frc n
dinner party to ball and sometimes
drag the old man, who would rather
be at home, with them. They scheme
for great English marriage for Lucy
or Jane and rejoice about the prospec-
tive castle and coronet, when, doubt
less, poor old pop would much rather
have the sensible young man from Chi
cago. who is bound to make his way,
for his son-in-law. They spoil the
spendthrift boys in the family and
make father in every domestic coup
a unit.
This overworked, unhappy, home
belittled father has his prototype in
many classes. Something of the mother
may be found in every third wife. md
the qualities of the daughters are
found everywhere, in the girl of me-
dunn means, in the bank clerks daug-
her, the day laborer's- Extravaganza,

moment; the daughter of the emigrant
even grows up to despise the ways
and views of her father. We are a
swift and imperious race-the least
little money and power, and we think
ourselves 1t. We fancy we haven't
time for the old fashioned, worrying
folk who gave us the start, whose
hearts are often broken and whose
means, big or little. as frequently
ruined by cur foIlies. Mothers must

goods. All work is matter of public
service-nothing moreno matter
who is being served, or in what form
it is offered. The girl in the factory
is an agent making goods that the
public needs. Tho girl behind the
counter is another agent making IL
possible for the public to secure goods
easily. The girl at the switchboard
is nothing more or less than these
she too is an agent for the conven-
fence of the public. And in the end
who is the public but herself? She
is working for the public and it for
her. How can one form of work, when
everybody is doing favor to some one
else, including themselves, and ali of
it Indispensable. be more or less low
ering?
There is nothing to be ashamed of
in the kind of work we do or whS-~
we do it. But there is great matter
fer satisfaction and pride If each uses
her ability wisely and well to further
the business of the world If the girl
on salary will dwell en- the broad

brought in interesting contact with
every type of person-if she will dig

for enlarging her understanding of
people and their problems, such as
she would never comprehend IL her
knowledge of life were confined to one
social set-she will lead finer, hap
pier life. 1t is the way she looks
upon her task that will determine her
friends and the worlds attitude to.

the more money they spend the more
illogical they are concerning the elig-
ibility' of the young man who shall
marry into the family.
And here 1 come to the greatest
danger that threatens both mother and
the girls. Now, if you want to know
what sort of stuff there is in a man
you must set a nan to watch him.
Wise as they are, women don't know
all the ms md outs of masculine ma
ture. One hour with Bob, the big
brother, or half that time with pepper,
the hard-worker, would put the pros
pective wooer in the right place. hey
skate over all the frills of manner the
young man shows to the women; they
toss him in a blanket, SO to speak,
and see how he falls. They crack
open his head and look inside, and
tap his heart (also so to speak, with
stethoscope. There is a good big
thing in the balance, two big things
the happiness of the girl they lose and
the honor of the family. They don't
take hearsay alone about the counting
young man. They size him up with
their sure man knowledge of men,
and he's got to be a pretty good thing
to stand the test. If he does stand
it, you may be tolerably' sure that he
will make a pretty good husband for
Lucy or Jane. If he doesn't stand it
well, the quicker he is gotten rid of
the better.
So much for the matter of Lucy's
or James husband. no matter to what
class, so-called, they belong. Mothers
and daughters in any sphere must set
high standard OF moral excellence
for all men, and while they are doing
this they viii be improving the home
condition. whatever II is.

EMBROIDERY
REMNANTS
BY EDNA EGAN.

rat OW is the time to purchase odd
bits of fine embroidery at the
sales in all the large shops.
They can be made up into the most
attractive collar-and-cuff sets or used
for trimming blouses and entire
gowns.
Motifs of Irish lace, embroidered
batiste and Richelieu embroidery are
to be had for very little money. Per-
haps they will be a bit soiled. That
will not matter. They can be laund-
cred either before they are incorpor-
ated in the garment or afterward.
Five embroidered motifs, surround
ed by narrow Irish insertion. were
used to trim handsome blouse or
handkerchief linen that a young won-
an made for herself. The blouse was
cut out perfectly plain, having three
small tucks each side of the front to
give the necessary fulness, then was
fitted to the figure and the shoulder
seams stitched. The underarm seams
and the seams in the short sleeves
we're then opened, the material lald
out fiat on the 1apbo2Pd and the lace
pinned in place, SO That the most ar
tistic effect was obtained.
The motifs were then basted on, one
in the center front, one on each side
and one in the centre of each sleeve,
Around these, laid on in squares, was
the insertion and it was also used to
trim the coilarless neck and the edge
of the sleeves. Two strips of it were
used each side of the back, where the
blouse buttoned with small crocheted
buttons. The material and trimming
were all remnants, costing only frac-
ton of what was the real value of the
blouse when finished.

AIM SHOULD BE SIMPLICITY
Best Ideas for Dressing of Young
Girls Hair Is Here Given
From Authority.

In the WOman's Home Companion
Grace Margaret Gould writes "A Talk
With Girls About Their Clothes" Fol-
lowing is an extract which presents
Miss GouId's ideas about hairdressing
for young girls:
In arranging your hair, 1 would
bear first in mind, if l we're you, not
to hide the shape of your head. You
may admire the way your older sis
ter or your best friends mother wears
her hair, but don't try to copy it. The
more simply you fix your hair the
more becoming it is sure to be- Part
ing the hair either in the middle of

is not, the soft waVy pompadour worn
without a rat is in quite as good style.
The. hair which is drawn back from
the forehead in a low pompadour and
continued back over the crown of
the head, where it is then made into a
little coil covered by a big bow, is
very effective, only it must not have
the effect of all bow and little head.
The bow should be small enough to
show two cunning little curls be-

IDEAS FOR SPRING DRESSES
According to Information, Printed
Silks Will Be Largely Used in
the New Costumes.

Paris dressmakers are using printed
silks of rather ford designs on soft
silks and crepe de chimes for Innings,
especially where plain materials are in
question. All crepe fabrics also are
in demand for home gowns, and with
these the introduction of printed silks
will take the form of collar facings
and little touches in the Wristbands.
Buttons will also be covered in small
designed printed silk.
Sponge cloths, ratine or velour de
laine, all more or less the same thing,
will still find favor in the early spring,
but serge and suitings in navy blue
promise to be more in vogue than
ever.
In the navy blue suitfng the tiny
pin stripe is likely to lead the way,
one or two coats and skirts having
already been seen in this material.
The fashion in tailor mades does not
just yet show much change. The
lines are simple in the extreme The
inverted pleat at front and back, al
lowing of a little more freedom in
movement, but retaining the straight
line, is so far the only innovation.

STYLES IN CHILDREN'S COATS
Severe Simplicity Will Be the Ac-
cepted Idea for the Models of
the Coming Ceason.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, simple tailored styles for every
day wear are receiving the most at
tention in children's coats. Such gar
ments are shown in serges, Bedford
cords, whipcords, poplins and fancy
mixtures. The collars, cuffs and revera
are usually of silk, ratine or cloth IN
some bright color. On the dressier
numbers lingerie collars and cuffs are
employed. In most instances these
are made detachable, so that they can
be easily Numbered. Belts are a fea-
ture of many of the best selling
models. Frequently the belt is seen
only in the back section. When the
entire belt is used it is placed several
inches below the waist line and is
made Of satin, silk or velvet Plain
or crushed broad velvet belts are con-
sidered particularly smart and are
used with excellent effect on bright
colored coats in red, WilheImina blue,
tan and rose. Sashes are also being
used in a similar manner. These are
frequently in black or of the same
shade as the coat itself

EDITOR PAUSES TO INQUIRE
Seems to Have : Feeling That He Is
Making an Argument Against
Woman Suffrage.

Enemies of votes for women, in
search OF arguments to confOund the
orators of the case, may use for what
it is worth the following incident
which happened in Madison square
one day last week:
A young woman of pleasing and pic
turesque aspect came northward from
TWenty-third street across the square.
She struggled under the weight Of a
dog-hamper, and inside one could see
a bright-eyed, restless fox terrier. ca

leash in her left hand, and the dog
had on a collar with a snap. An in
terested observed followed the woman
She struggled on six blocks up Madi-
son avenue before she reached her
destination, q residence on the east
side of the street Then she unlocked
the hamper, snapped the leash on the
dogs collar, and took him inside the
house. Why had she carried an able
bodied, 25-pound fox terrier, who want
ed to be let out, all that distance?-

DEAD ARE IGNORED
U. S. Has Done Little to Honor
Resting Places of Presidents.
Former Executives of This Country
Are Buried in Many Odd Places,
Without Proper Monuments
to Their Memory.

their initials are often forgotten. The
chances are that six and a quarter

ing expresident is T. R. Roosevelt
MT Watterson himself is often writ
ten Henry w Watterson, and George
Brinton Mcclellan Harvey is simply
known as George, says a correspon-
dent.
Mrs Martin LittIeton's active cam
paign for the recovery of Monticello
does not touch directly the question,
What shall we do with our presi-
dents?" but it suggests inquiry into
what we have done with them after
they have ''shuff1ed of this mortal
COLL" and it must be said that the ma
ton has done very little in their hon
or-in most cases it has not provided
for their sepuIcher or any adequate
monuments to their memory.
The former presidents are buried in
all sorts of odd places-in country
churchyards, in city cemeteries, in
vaults of massive masonry, in leaden
caskets and in plain collins, after the
manner of the plain people from
whom they sprang- these imperious

most effective way of the question of
securing by gift or purchase the home
of Jefferson for a national shrine.
