LEVY WOULD AID WIDOWS
Bill Provides Home Help for
New York Dependents.
IRr Tclograrh 10 Tho Trihune.


Albany, Feb 3.-Assomhvman Aaron j.
Levy tonight introduced a bill I'm the
Legislature providing for home assistance
for dependent widows with young chill
drcn in tho City Of New York. It Is based
on a report Of the special committee on
governmental aid Of the New York City
Conference Of Charities and Correction.
The committee found" said Mr.. Levy,
that the relief societies OF New York
were unable 10 finance their relief work
adequately. and that grave and often ir-
reparable injury TO widows and their chill
dren occurs because of this fact. The
committee further expressed the belief
that deserving widows should be relieved
in their own homes rather than that their
children should be placed in institutions,
and that II is legitimate TO apply munich
pal funds 10 supplement private charity"
The bill provides for a board Of trus-
tees of home assistance 20 be appointed
by the Mayor TO have charge of the work
and gives the leading charitable societies
Of New York the right, if they desire. 10
suggest the names Of persons TO act on
tho hoard

Men Approve Them

Men laugh at a woman's penchant TOT
bargain sales, but rare is the man VINO
will not approve when his wife comes
with a neat little tub dress bought Tor
9s cents or Whereabouts
There is nothing most men hate like
seeing a woman look sloppy" about the
house in the morning. and there Is no
DENYING the fact that even pretty Dress
ing sack appears anything but trim I'M
less tho wearer has nothing 10 do but sic
still and be waited upon by maids. IL
must be that women do not really care 10
please mon or dressing sacks as MORN
ing working garments would have been
banished long ago.
Until tub dresses invaded the DEPART
ment stores the problem Of what TO wear
in the morning was a difficult one for
the busy house mother. Dressing sacks,
with flowing sleeves. are frequently dis
astrous at the breakfast table, as they
are apt 10 catch on coffee pots. and fow-
ing ribbons are too frequently seen dang
ling In the suds OF tho dishpan.
MANY young women think 1t too much,
trouble TO go to the dressmakers for the
seemingly unimportant morning dress,
and as the time goes by, and perhaps
after a baby has arrived, they wear fussy
bridal waists and soiled afternoon gowns.
A trip to any reliable department store,
will reveal piles Of pretty. plain little
bingham dresses in pale blue or pink.
with elbow sleeves and rolling collars,
costing about s. Just such dresses az
these tub creations enable some women
TO keep the regard of their husbands.
There arc so many lovely cotton ma
terials used in the making OF morning
dresses nowadays that the varieties TO
select from are endless. There are tho
neat prints dotted or sprigged; there are
the Scotch ginghams In delicate hairline
checks. the crinkled seersuckers. the soft
poues and chambrays in light solid, I'M
fadable colors, while some women are
willing to pay a trifle more for the at
tractive lines.
A practical model and a comfortable
one has the elbow sleeve and the Byron
collar. which is bit moro becoming to
the average neck than the round cut.
Cluny lace and eyelet embroidery are
the prettiest trimmings, though many
women prefer simple rolling collar and
cuffs.

GIRLS DRIVE
AUTOS FOR LIVING
They Make Specially Of Taking Out Lonely Women
and Strangers in the Cty-They Know All About
the Bargains and the Shops.

and heaps OF women like the one who had
just left her. women who often had oc-
casion to use a car and didn't possess
one. Why. Of course, there were many
such women, and they couldn't and didn't
want TO depend always on their friends
who did own cars. Wouldn't such women
be glad to hire a nice motor car driven by
trim young woman who knew her bust
ness? She believed they would. Some.
Of course, would distrust the ability OF
their own sex, but she believed such
prejudices could be overcome.
I She gathered UP what capital she had
and came to New York, which appeared
to her a better field for operations. She
had friends here, and one Of them went
her surety for part of the price OF
nice, easy running automobile. Part she
was able to pay down. The first thing
was to secure a license. In time this was
accomplished, and then the young woman
began quietly. through her friends,
through the hotels, through women's
clubs, to establish clientele.
II was slow work, but in the course or
four months she had enough calls to keep
her busy One woman told another. They
sent for her to take them shopping, find
ing it so much pleasanter to be driven by
a nice. attractive young woman who
seemed to know where all the shops were
and just what bargains were on, ana
where male chauffeurs never knew these
things. Then she succeeded In getting
several hotels to tell their guests about
her-women guests from out Of town. 10
these she acted as guide as we'll as auto
mobile driver. She knew where all the
places Of interest were, Just what plays
were on and all about thenl-oh, there
was no limit to this young woman =
Knowledge! She worked hard enough To-
she paid for her automobile, she bought
another and engaged a girl she knew, q
Nassar girl, to operate II. she nerseir
il a Wellesley graduate. Now she mas
three cars and three assistants. She her
self does not go out now, giving her time
TO managing the business she has putt
up. Her fond hope At present Is TO nave
a clubhouse where she can give lnsuuc-
tjons in the care and driving or motor
cars TO women, and organize runs among
women drivers, and. In short, show the
world what a healthful, easy, delightfui
amusement for women driving an automo-
bile can be made.

A young woman sat in the corridor Oh
a Chicago hotel wondering what on earth
she could do to earn her living. 1t was
a problem she had never been up against
before: but now. with her husband dead,
with her income cut in half, she simply
had to do il. And, like a thousand ana
one other girls. she never had peeh
taught how.
She searched her brain for the things
she knew and told them off on her
fingers.
She knew something about medicine,
for her husband had been a doctor, ana
she had often thought that she would Ike
to be a children's doctor But her knoWl-
edge was fragmentary and training
would take time and more money than
she possessed.
She had knack for interior deco
rating but she couldn't set up studlo'
and she was uncertain, too, how iar hei
knack would carry her without study.
She could run an automobile to perfec-
ton. She had driven her OVID little car
all over the foothills around Denver,
which city was her home during her hus-
bands lifetime. There was nothing ABOUT
a car. inside or out, that she didn't under
stand. Should she set up as the hrst
woman chauffeur? She had never heard
of a woman chauffeur.
She sat idly smiling at the notion ana
thinking how queer it would seem to OPP
crate a public taxi and be hailed by men
she didn't know-sne who had always
lived such a sheltered life

elevator. 1t was the day before christ
