EVERY WOMAN AN OCCUPATION.

Every woman. instead Of spending all

something 10 do-some interest to occupy
her. There are young girls who, when
they awake in the morning. begin think

And so on. and so on.
II seems tragic waste Of time for a
girl with no outlet for her energies to
spend her days In useless trivialties She
may not have any special genius for
music or painting and so she calls herself
a girl Of no talents and settles down TO
, a life OF discomfort. But there is some
thing for every woman in this world
Domestic science and domestic art, under
the simpler titles OF cooking, household
administration and sewing, embroidery
and millinery, appeal to large numbers OF
girls, and especially 10 those who are

THE oLD.WoRLD NOTE.

Some people still prefer the flower de-
signs In preference TO the Chinese and
Japanese with their dragons and curious
birds. and perhaps in many cases they
suit better the ordinary room. Bunches OF
rosebuds caught up with loops OF ribbon
always make pretty effect, especially In
an oid-fashioned house. Those who like
delicate colorings should consider the
shadow tissues which reproduce the chine
silk effect familiar to us in dress
fabrics.

Feasible Profession for the So-Caled "Non-
Talented" Girl.

What pleasure do YOU suppose she ever
gained from wearing that hat? Uneasy
lies the head that wears too costly hat.
Sometimes. too, girl does not know
(until she deliberately tries) whether she
has any talent for millinery. SO ! ad-
wise the trial.
There are many places where courses
may be taken 10 equip one in learning
the art OF millinery. The extension
classes OF Teachers College. Columbia
University. are. perhaps. the best known.
Then there is the Barnard School OF
Household Arts. where girls are given all
kinds of courses relating to saving the
high living There are special classes for
young matrons given there also. Pratt
Institute in Brooklyn, and Drexel Insti-
tute. in Philadelphia, also meet the re-
quirements OF those desiring to learn
the practical arts. The students furnisf,
their own materials, and the finished
product is the property Of its creator.
When parents have given up their girls
as hopeless i'm their academic studies.
these same girls apply themselves most
industriously and energetically TO the
manual arts They come early 10 their
classes and stay late and groan when hol-
days are announced All OF which tends
20 show how important it is to develop
girl in accordance with her natural in
stincts. Why plunge a girl into something
for which she Ia unfit?
Some of my pupils. after completing
the Course have held private classes OF
their own among their friends; they have
| executed small orders; and they have
taken charge of classes In settlement
houses and church parishes. In the last
named case the girl can either offer her
services gratuitously or secure a position
where the average payment is s. and up

and a half to two hours.
