WOMEN AND THE
CANAL ZONE

The following interesting article,
taken from The Youths Companion OF
March IS, tells the story:
Nine women's clubs, forming a fed
Grafton that is unique in the history
of the women's club movement, are
about to disband. They are to take
this step not because the interest and
loyalty of their members is waning.
or because their activities have been
uncessful, but because the great pub
lie work that called them into being
is nearly done.
Z The clubs are in the canal zone, and
in the building of the Panama canal
they played a part that historians will
not forget when they tell the story of
that wonderful enterprise. The canal
zone clubs differ from other women's
clubs in being government organize
tons; they were started through the
efforts of an agent sent by the gov
eminent in 1907, and they have active
ly co-operated with the government in
social, educational, recreational and
sanitary work in behalf of the canal
zone employees and their families.
Without the women who submitted
to exile in Panama with their hus-
bands, it would have been difficult to
keep a stable working force on the
Isthmus-a fact that the government
foresaw. Its experiment in spending
money to organize and maintain wom-
ems clubs has proved highly profita-
BILE investment. The clubs might have
come in the natual course of things,
when social conditions had sufficiently
adjusted themselves, but scarcely in
time to accomplish much. The gov
eminent wisely took the initiative by
sending an experienced woman TO the
canal zone as an official organizer.
Within a few weeks she had formed
clubs. in the nine leading towns and
and the federation of these
clubs at once Joined the General Fed
Grafton of the United States.
The women thus brought together
found common interests that kept them
busy and contented-and this meant
contented husbands and progress on
the canal work. They arranged social
and entertainments, helped
in the school work, opened Fairgrounds
for the children, erected drinking
improved the markets, man
aged free lecture courses, formed
classes for many kinds of study. and,
in short, showed what women's clubs
at their best can do.

HOW 10 PUT ON eLovEs.

/ There are more people POSSESSING

| years ago. and though it is possible fol
many to buy them, there are few
women who realize the necessity for
| taking care of the hand coverings. II
! is credit to the manufacturers and
to the quality of the kid that gloves
wear as long as they do, when one
sees the way most wearers neglect
, them.
Allow plenty of time for trying on a
new pair Of gloves. BY rushing at this
task one is apt to mar the appearance
or possibly ruin a pair of gloves.
It may help matters some to have
the gloves stretched a little before
hand, but let the saleswoman do this,
so that the stretching will be done
properly.
Place one hand in the glove, but
leave the thumb outside of the open
ing in the palm of same. Work each
finger on separately. Always rub in
side and outside Of tho fingers, but
never at the sides. In doing the latter.
one is apt to tear the gloves or break
the stitching between the fingers. At
ter the fingers are comfortably settled,
tuck the thumb into it's proper place
with the same gentle rubbing.
Carefully adjust the glove and fast
top part of the glove. The first bot
ton or clasp, by the way should come
at the wrist and not up toward the
palm of the hand. Many women be-
lieve that by having the first clasp at
the center of the palm the hand looks
smaller This is a mistaken belief.
Short gloves give the hand a pudgy
appearance.
Now use the palm Of the free hand
to ft the top Of the glove.
1t is always well to buy a glove a
trif1e too long, for glove that has to
be literally stretched to meet the edge
of the sleeve is anything but careful
looking. Gloves should be sufficiently
long to allow a few wrinkles to form
in the arm section.
IF you have any Difficulty fastening
the glove. smooth the kid from the
back to the palm and never pull at the
hemmed edge.
When taking off the gloves peel them
over the arms and do not tug at the
finger tips. The gloves will then be
inside out, so turn them to the right
side and wrap them in tissue paper
until they are needed again.
II you do have the misfortune to rip
open the seams or a three cornered
tear presents itself, insert a piece of
court plaster beneath the openings and
At the kid smoothly over it. You will
find this more satisfactory than sew
ing the torn edges together.
II you wish to save money and wear
good looking gloves. follow the above
advice A pair of gloves badly wrin-
killed. land out of shape will spoil the
appearance Of any woman.

TEARS ARE OUT OF STYLE.

One of the most conspicuous feat
ures of modern life is the change in
the expression of emotion, says the
London Leader. There seems to be no
doubt that the time will come when
all the crude methods-the tears, the
downcast eyes. the outbursts of pas
sfonate anger. the broken vcice-<-will
disappear entirely.
Though women are still inclined to
cling to the old methods. men have
already learned to express feeling
more subtly. Something Of the
progress can be judged from a COM
parison between the present day and,
say the Sixteenth century.

are soft folds and draperies, even in
smart street costumes. The silhou.
cite is the same in street as in evening
gowns, large waist, hips little larg-

narrow ankle width of the skirts. The
feet are quite prominent in the late
mode of dressing, and it behooves
every well-dressed woman to keep
watch on the latest thing in footgear.
Low shoes, with thin silk stockings,
are very popular, although the weather
is steadily growing colder. Also shoes
with tan-and-gray uppers are high

Embroidered stockings are another
late within of Dame Fashion. They are
embroidered with designs appropriate
to the occasion on which they are to
be worn. For instance, hockey sticks
are embroidered on the stockings for
the hockey player; and for an evening
gown white silk stockings, with en-
