LEssENING A WoMAN's WORK
Conditions During Recent Years Have
Greatly Improved, and Results
Have Been Excellent.

Our women are carrying their years
better. Not only Is their length Of life
increasing, but they are making their
youth last longer. They are raising
stronger children. There Is an uplift
to the whole race. Many explanations
are offered, but the big cause underly-
ing the whole effect is the improve
ment Of the homes and the tightening
Of its drudgery. There is now more
time for improving the members Of the
family; more time for culture and
travel; more time for civic and other
public matters.
Staying young Is largely q matter
Of keeping interested in things, and,
to keep interested. there must be vari.

woman Is flying from one thing to an.
other and undertaking too much and
wearing out her nerves Is not alto

less, but they are the exceptions. WON.
ans great trouble in the past has been
routine.
Doctors found that the reason so
many cases Of mental disease came
from the farms was that farm women
did not have enough interests. Their
loneliness was disastrous. Now that
the farm women have the telephone
and the automobile and the social soci.
cites and other means of diversion and
employment, conditions are improving.
So. the lessening of woman's work
by system and the use Of all labor-sav-
ing devices possibly really means that
besides the enjoyment of better hours
she has time for things that will
broaden and stimulate her mind.

Many women have looked askance
at the very short skirts to which 9th
ers have given a cordial welcome.
Many women them, ana some do
not, but none has failed to notice the
trim boots that have grown higher as
skirts grew shorter. Little feet that
peep in and out are a thing of the
past, for little feet now are in full
view at all angles and are required to
be more than slightly.
No feet are so we'll shod as those of
Americans, and designers of shoes
have met the demand for footwear
that must bear the most critical scru-
tiny, with the trimmest and neatest
of shoes. Many oddities in cut have
been introduced, many Celebrations
and decorations. Contrasting colors
in feathers, and combinations of leath-
or and cloth, have added variety to
variety.
For evening wear satin pumps to
match the gown, or high satin laced
shoes, are worn. Gold or silver cloth
pumps are also liked for evening
wear, and look we'll with any color.
For street wear high boots, either
laced or buttoned, are to be had, show

give the foot a slender appearance.
The all-black shoe is worn with o

II demand for wear with afternoon
gowns and especially with the popu-
lar dark browns in satin and velvet.
A laced street boot is shown in the
picture with patent leather vamp and
gray leather top. 1t is an excellent
example of a popular style. Machine
stitching is a decorative feature in
the latest footwear, and that in white
on black leather is especially efec-
tive. Two rows OF it appear on the
model shown. They are in black on
the gray leather. This boot is nine
inches high, making the top nearly
eleven inches from the ground.
In the second picture there is repro
iluced a fancy boot in which black

The new boleros, made purely for
the purpose of adding a %coquettish de-
tail to the toilette, or to add to the
spice of life a little variety in dress,
will make attractive holiday gifts.
They are made of chiffon or figured
ribbons or thin crepe combined with
laces, and nothing could be simpler
than their construction. One of
them is shown in the picture above,
made of pink crepe georgette bor-
dered with a wide band of silk lace.
The lace is used to form a standing
collar at the back of the neck, where
it is plated and wired into the right
position.
This little jacket is only one among
innumerable designs. 1t illustrates
the shape and adjustment of a gar
ment which may be made up to suit
the individual taste. For the sake of

silk skirts Are Full.

Many of the new silk skirts have
scalloped edges and sawtooth edges,
sometimes bound with silk, occasion
ally with a contrasting color, which
shows with every movement of the
wearer. Tulle overskirts to such
dresses are bound with the same silk
and thus they fall in graceful curves.
Picot-edged ribbon often adorns the
hens of skirts, and the taffeta coats
that accompany them have many
ruches and frillings. They are gener-
ally very full, and are shaped by cord
ing. 1t seems probable that the skirts
will be wide for some time to come.
Often high boots supplement the short
skirt.

street dress, but is meant to be worn
over a light dress. There are very
handsome jackets, made of rich bro
caded or figured ribbon bordered with
plain velvet or ribbon, worn with
dark gowns in colors that harmonic.
Another suggestion for the holidays
appears in the plain collar of fine or
candle. The high turnover fastens
at the back and the " are sewed
to the plain band that fastens inside
the blouse. The collar is finished
with a narrow hem. made by hand,
and adorned with three small fiat
crochet buttons. Very small covered
wire supports it.
Like the Jacket, it is n of many
designs, and is offered as a suggestion
at a time when gifts for the holidays
must be considered.

When the Way Is Dark.

1t is possible, when the future is
dim, when our depressed faculties
can form no bright ideas of the per-
lection and happiness of a better
world, it is possible still to cling to
the conviction of Gods merciful
purpose toward his creatures, of his
parental goodness even in suffering;
still to feel that the path of duty,
though trodden with a heavy heart,
leads to peace; still to be true to
conscience; still to do Jul work, to
resist temptation, to be useful,
though with diminished energy; to
give up our wills when we cannot
rejoice under Gods mysterious provi'
dence.

machine stitched to a tan or gray kid
body. This is a novelty which has not
met with as much approval as the con-
trast in color made by piping seams
of light colored shoes with black, or
those of black or dark feathers with
white. Pumps made of black kid and
patent leather, having seams piped
with white, are among the most ele-
giant of all footwear and are worn for
afternoon and informal evening func-
lions.
