EMIGRANT WOMEN ARE
BUSY MAKING LACE
Those Detained at Ellis Island on
Account of War Keep
BUSY.

There are a hundred Of emigrant
women and children held in detention at
Ellis Island. in New York Harbor. They
are the undesirables who would ordi-
narily have been transported back home.
but who. because OF the war, are forced
to remain in this country at the ex-
pense Of our government. They are for
the most part women from Russia, Po-
land, and Austria, who because Of physi-
cal, mental or moral unfitness are not
allowed to make their homes in this
country.
And while these women are waiting
for the war to end they are doing just
what our society women Nave been do
ing for the past few months-they are
knitting muffiers and other warm cloth
ing for the soldiers. But most interest
ing of the handicraft wrought by these
women Is native embroidery and lace
making. The Russian and Galacian
peasants have a very interesting sort of
crqss-stitch embroidery which Is much
in demand at the present time.
Several of the Greek women detained
are making lace. and among the sorts
Of lace found at this detention workroom
are Venetian point, Torchon, filet. Cluny,
and other pillow laces.

Do You Dare Wear Your q

Julia Sanderson Says that Unless Girl Is Of Classic Beauty
She Had Better Wear Her Locks Arranged
Over the Ears.

why will girls make scarecrows OF
themselves with the most extreme and
ridiculous head dresses they can af-
fect?"
Julia Sanderson, one of the stars in
THE Girl From Utah." which is to be
presented at the National Theater this
week, put this question to a representa-
tive of The Woman's Herald yesterday.
Julia Sanderson is quite famous for
her attractive mode of wearing her
hair and for her charming hats, and
1t was naturally on the subject OF
girls headdress that the conversation
hinged.
"Oftentines a very young girl adds
ten years to her age simply by the
way she arranges her hair" Miss San
derson continued. And it does seem
such a pity"
IF a girl has a beautiful head the
hair is prettiest arranged close to it.

has been SO popular of late. is beau

M0THERCRAFT IN ENGLAND.
A Great Campaign for Health!
Babies.

Mrs. Mabel Potter Daggett tells in
March Pictorial Review Just what the
English government is doing to improve
conditions in the birth and raising OF
babies.
A group of medical men went out after
the statistics. Thirty per cent OF the
deaths of children under one year OF
age, they reported, were to be traced TO
that one cause of maternal exhaustion.
Then the way to begin with the babies
was to begin with the mothers. And the
government took immediate steps, as was
announced in the House of Parliament.
for the improvement of the conditions
of pregnancy and childbirth and infant
rearing throughout the whole country.
The thirty shillings bonus insures that
there shall always be money in the house
at the critical juncture to pay for some
sort of care for mother and child. to be
paid on the birth of a baby to every
family with an income of less than l6o
hounds a year This is but one feature
of the great campaign inaugurated for
the conservation of the child. 1t Is look
ed upon by the Englishwoman of the
working classes as a great luxury to De
able to lie up in bed" for week. while
another woman comes in to attend to
your household and wait on you while
you fold your hands and get strong.
And If you shouldn't get strong, the gov
eminent may not want you SO much as
even to wash your dishes. There is a
pregnancy sickness benefit. by which you
may receive, if your doctor certifies to
your need for it, a sum of seven shillings
and sixpence per week for period OF
tWenty-six weeks. while you are not sup
posed to lift a finger to any household
labor That's the way the new mater
nifty is appreciated. And the birth Of a
baby now in England is important
enough that the government takes note
of it. BY the notification Of births act
the new arrival must be reported within
thirty-six hours at the health depart
ment of your borough. About week
later lady health visitor Is sent by
the department to inquire IL you're all
right and how you're getting on. Out OF
her handbag she passes you a pamphlet
of instructions on How to bring UP
baby" the first paragraph Of which says:
Keep your own health good. The health
of your baby depends on your own. !"
She tells you that any time you want
her advice about the baby she'll be glad
to come, but that really to learn how,
you should go to the school for mothers.
And she directs you to the nearest one.

A strange story is told of. an old
English woman, many OF whose rela-
tives have been called to the war. who
has a black bedroom. 1t is her means
Of expressing her mourning. and she
considers il far more effective than the
symbol of Grape and other black worn
by most women.
The room is carpeted in black velvet.
and there are cushions and hangings
Of the same material in it, Gray and
silver upholstery fabric Tighten 1t in
places. and the paper is silver gray.
with a black frieze. The fuypiture is
black or so darkened by TING that II
is dark hued. Photographs Of the
woman's relatives at war are hung in
black frames about the wall
This room is an exaggerated example
Of the black bedrooms which English
women are affecting. Doubtless 1t is
blacker. more somber than most of
them, but q good many women. who
need some fads to occupy their
thoughts even in war times. have taken
up the black housefurnishing idea
with avidity.
The war did not start the craze for
black interiors. A couple Of years ago
these interiors emanated from Vienna.
The interior decorators Of Vienna I'M
derstood the value Of black and white
ideas from the houses of Pompeii. At
all events, black and white marble
played an important part in the charm
of those houses.
A good many women in this country
have, since the idea was first brought
here from Vienna, gone in for black and
white interiors. Many used black carpet.
Some even went so far as to use olack
wall papers. And many used gray paper,
black carpets, and black and white up
holstery.
A fad as decided as this Is necessarily
short-lived In one phase. Hence the
women who had carpets dyed black, who
had walls repapered in gray. who hung
black and white curtains and had furni-
ture recovered In keeping with this now
idea. have most of them given up theis
black interiors.
But in minor decorations the black and
white idea still persists. and II Is an
idea worth attention. There Is charming
china of white with a black border de-
sign. There are black basalt bowls for
flowers that are distinctive. Black and
white sofa cushions arc admirable.
There are vases of porcelain In stripes
of black and white that are ideal for
holding bright-colored flowers. And
there are many other bits Of black that
lend distinction to an over-colored L.
terror.
The mourning bedroom Of the English
dowager Is not likely to be copied hero.
But the black and white cushions. vases.
flower bowls, china and other details OF
the furnishings of room are sure to be
popular.

She was an exceedingly fluent writer
and had q happy faculty Of delin-

, tiful because it is so simple. The hair
is parted on the side and pulled softly
back with the natural waves Of hair
over the forehead and around the ears
The back of the hair may be arranged
in a simple twist or 1t may be fixed
in a new way. which is very soft and
pretty, because 1t draws the hair away
from the nape of the neck where
youth is SO very evident, especially
with the curly-haired young woman.
After the front of the hair is ar
ranged the hair is softly rolled under,
somewhat in the same way that the
French twist is rolled. only this roll
is right across the back Of the head
and does not give the long line that
SO very few people can wear effec-
lively.
IF the lines Of the girls head are
not classic the hair should be ar
ranged as loosely as possible. A gen.
eral idea of the shape of girls head
goes a long way toward determining
| the arrangement of the hair. II the
head is round, the hair should be
drawn to the back with as little Of
it on the side as possible, and perhaps
! a higher arrangement 'the head. al
though this is never as youthful II
the head Is long, the hair should be
worn fuffed at the ears. SO as to
broaden the face.
There Is something about tho hair
over the ears which ID strangely ef-
fective. It seems to soften a girls
face; to make 1t more feminine. Only
the very perfect face can stand the
| skinned cat appearance that the
twist gives the entire head. When the
hair Is drawn severely away from the
ears on the very beautiful girl with
nawless features, the effect is novel.
even attractive. On the ordinary girl
with girlishly pretty features, the ef-
feet Is absurd, extreme, and looks like
aping style that Is entirely unbe-
coming, just to be fashionable. A
word about hats, because, Of course,
we may not run about bareheaded.
Again head shapes are important
fundamentally.
Tho round face girl should always
wear hats with brims. while the girl
with q long face may wear turbans.
Hats should be simple in shape; the
| little tri-corner hats are adorable for
girls-they seem to exude youth-and
are becoming to the most hard to
please.
Above all things else. though. have
very little trimming on your hats;
over -trimmed hats are impossible, par
ticularly for the young.
Notice that in these days many Of
the older people are wearing simple
hats. while those Of young girls are
all over-dressed and top-heavy."

Just People's Fault.

1T isn't mans fault that women are
handicapped in the various professions
any more than 1t is woman's fault. It's
tust peoples fault"
In these words spoke 1neE Milholland
Boissevain a few days ago before the
members OF the Feminist Alliance in New
York. which was In session to discuss
the question Of THE Handicaps Now
Placed on Professional Women"
Before Mrs. Boissevain spoke a for
fnidable group of women. who have won
distinction in various fields of activity.
had expressed their conviction that the
reason for woman's failure heretofore to
come up to the standards set by men in
their professions was simply and purely
mans fault. 1t is because. according
to their opinion. women live in a man
made world" and the reason they live in
a man-made world is because man has
made them live in that sort Of world.
Clearly it is all mans fault. No one is to
blame for this unfair condition but the
members of the sterner sex.
ly-Smith said with respect to woman's
position in the field of journalism. Edith
Ellis Furness. actress and playwright,
took the same gloomy outlook on the
matter in regard to women and the
stage DR.. Emily Barringer. a pioneer
ambulance surgeon. also placed the
blame all with the males of the race.
But In the face of all this Mrs. Boisse-
vain had the temerity to say that it isn't
ali mans fault. that it is not all wom-
ans fault, but that it is just peoples
fault
To the average mind this point of view
seems plausible. 1t seems to most of us
that almost any fault in the general
state Of things in this world of ours
must be partly mans fault and partly
women's fault. It is hard to see that
war even. in which women have no ac-
tive part. IS ali mans fault. For women
and men. in general share the same
ideas Women furnish inspiration enough
and guiding influence sufficient to make
up for their lack of actual force in the
world. But the funny thing about it il
that the women who are doing most of
the talking about suffrage and the fem
mist question in general these days are
blind to this fact. This conviction that
nan is to blame seems part of their basic
idea of things. And Mrs. Boissevain.
avnwed supporter of the cause though
she be, has dared to contradict them
