CELIBATE WOMEN ANGRY
Country Teachers Must Remain
Unmarried in Austria.
IBy cable to The Tribune }

Vienna, July 23.--The question of the
ceibacy Of woman teachers precipitat-
ed "A tumut to-day at the convention
OF Lower Austrian School Teachers
Association. Herr Kittinger, a proml-
emit member of the Reichsrath, motor
ious for his opposition to woman teach
crs marrying, was nearly mobbed by
the indignant women.
Their wrath against him was argu-
ments by his assertion that removal of
the prohibition would be contrary to
the interests Of the majority OF mar
riageable girls, since the teachers en-
joy an assured income, which, II CAPT
tallzed, would represent a dowry Of
$1,000. Hence they are more eligible
candidates for matrimony than are the
daughters Of farmers or storekeepcrs
with smaller dowries. This feature IS
of the utmost Importance in Austria,
where IL is practically impossible for
girl without a dowry to marry.
Teachers i'm the country districts are
all the more irritated at the situation
slnce the provincial diet, yielding to
agitation, recently removed the pro-
hibitIon I'm the case Of woman teachers
in tho nublic schools OF Vienna. The
country teachers threaten to conduct
a similar agitation until placed on ah

Classes Are Open to All
at Y. w. c. A.
Night School.

II cont like to see chances going to
waste says Mrs. r. B. Carlisle, who
minages the summer night school Of the
Young Women's Christian Association.
and that is why she sends out a call for
some more girls 10 come right along TO
No. East 18th street, the association s
headquarters, and join some OF the classes
in flower making or millinery or shirt
waist making or gymnastics or anything
they fancy and enjoy the entertainments
offered them between classes. Everything
free, no charge FOR lessons. only the girls
must bring their own materials for the
hats. waists or whatever they wish to
make; and when the article Is finished It
will be theirs to wear or sell or give
away.
There are several reasons why the
classes aren't quite SO full Just now.'
Mrs. Carlisle said yesterday. "One is that
it's just the in-between time, when the
first lot of pupils mas finished the first
hats, waists. etc. and feels more like
going out and wearing the things than
like going TO work 10 learn to make more
That's why now's the time for fresh ones
to come in
Then now is the vacation season. when
most every girl IS going away for a little
while out of the hot city, and at night
when she's through her days work in
factory or department store or kitchen
she can think Of nothing but getting
ready for her trip. | suppose the camp We
opened this summer has taken some OF the
hundred pupils missing from the school.

Attractive Kitchens.

Has II ever occurred 10 you that for the
same amount OF money an attractive
rather than an unattractive kitchen can
be made? This part Of the house, where
the housemother spends much of her tlme'
receives little consideration along conven-
tent or attractive lines. Why not have u
pretty? There are so many ways IT can
be done, suggests Mary II. Northend IN
THE Mothers Magazine" for August.
The walls OF the kitchen can be painted
with a yellow or Delft blue; they can be
finished in wash paint that Is sanitary
and requires very little effort TO keep
clean; the woodwork can be white or II
may be a darker shade OF yellow, both OF
which take very little time y keep clean.
The shelves may be covered with white
enamel, or oilcloth neatly put on with
brass headed nails. II the closet room is
limited, the saucepans may hang IRON
brass hooks on the walls, ranging from
the smallest 10 the largest sizes. series
OF brass hooks is placed over the sink
like those at the sides OF the shelves, and
OF these are hung different sizes Of en-
ame spoons. dippers and measures; the
dishpan and drainer are kept out OF sight
In the sink closet.
II the kitchen is finished in blue, which
is very effective, a roller OF white crash
with broad blue border may be placed
on the door leading TO the pantry. Dutch
curtains of the blue and white crash on
brass rods are placed at the windows.
The kitchen table. when not in use, also
has a blue and white crash cloth.
Underneath one of the windows two
pine shelves may be placed and painted 10
match the rest of the room. They hold
the cookbooks. which are covered with re-
n-ovable covers OF the blue and white
crash
Window boxes can he fitted for the
kitchen windows, one 10 hold parsley.

for only 50 %. It's very likely that the
excitement Of getting ready for Camp
Blueiields would draw some of our pupils
away"
Next Monday evening will be the mid
summer entertainment given by the
pupils. There will be a little play. gym
nastic drills. etc. Mrs. Carlisle expects a
crop OF new pupils from this.
II girl comes to the Monday night
entertainment | know have her for the
rest of the week" Mrs. Carlisle said.
Lots of girls just don't know what were
doing here Until some other girl brings
them to one of our Monday nights. Then
We get In touch with them. The personal
touch Is everything | can do more just
going out for two hours and talking 10
girls in factories or shops or on the
street than by writing hundred letters.
Mrs Carlisle faced near strike on the
Society who go out on the street to hama
girls literature about the school. One OF
the most earnest Of them came In almost
weeping.
Il just can't go out any more. Mrs
Carlisle" she sobbed. Everybody calls
Hey. suffragette" at me cause I'm hand
ing out papers"
And it took considerable persuading
from Mrs. Carlisle to induce her corps OF
advertisers to remain on their beats
Last evening the flower class learned
TO make daffodils. Every now and then
some new class is started. The next one
probably will be a class In the art OF
making fancy articles out Of crepe paper

The only thing the association asks Of
the girls is that on August 22 they VIII
bring in the articles they have made and
allow them 10 be shown at the annual
exhibition.

Placing Of Feather
Needs Expert Hand

The trained eye and the expert hand
are necessary II the feathers that adorn
the hat or head-dress are 70 be placed
in just the position that adds piquancy
and charm TO the features OF their wearer.
That is why the mlliner or the hair
dresser critically surveys the face Of tho
customer when the moment comes for
adding the plume TO the hat or the hair
band.
An inhnitesimal portion Of an inch
higher or lower makes all the difference
between complete success and dire failure.
between smartness and dowdiness, be-
tween piquancy and the commonplace
mediocrity that renders the richest feath-
ers and loveliest colors absolutely futile
as improvers or beautifiers Of the counte-
nance.
The round face, as a rule, wants height
in the trimmings given TO its headgear.
Let the plumage worn sweep downward,
and 1t appears to flatten the face and de-
tract from the intelligence OF It's aspect.
Let IL stand upright and the face as
sumes a startled air. But succeed In dis
covering precisely the right angle for the
feather. and the effect will be instantane-
ously pleasing.
II is not the rigid plume that is all con-
quering now a circumstance that makes
clever choice Of feather placing more
than usually necessary. Winds that blow
ths fluffy ornament this way and that
must not interfere with the essential pur-
pose of its arrangement, and need not II
the task Of fixing has been accomplished
well.
The oval face is the one that can best
support the upright plume set In the CEN
ire of the hat or wreath. The face with
a pointed chin is another essential. or the
one with regular features, straight eye
brows and mysteriously deep-set and dark
fringed eyes.
The last type is Of the Eastern kind
which always looks best With centre
motifs, with the diadem. for example.
rising to an apex in front and the fer
ronniere or jewel falling upon the fore
head. For her also there is the sunourst
of erratic plumes, spreading from jewel
or rose set In the middle and placed In
the hat or turban right in the front.
Somewhat strangely. however, IL comes
10 pass that II the sunburst be set at the
back OF the hat for daytime wear. or at
the back of the turban or colffure In the
evening. Il enhances the beauty OF
round face!
