that the worst and saddest features OF

"Bebcl's book on women, of course, is

Alone of the great powers, Germany

with the vision of imperial domination,
he has regarded his own sex as the one

not watched the slow awakening Of
women in the countries round him, he
has not noted how bonds Of sympathy,
light as gossamer yet strong as steel,
have stretched from country TO coun-

overwhelming sisterhood, inarticulate

only waiting for their appointed hour
to assume a fuller share of the glories,
the burdens, and the responsibilities

"Woman's influence, silent, world

the most good-on the breasts and the
hips. These pairs of pockets are di-
vorced by a broad self-belt run through
straps at either side, blindly fastened
and combining the fulness of fronts and
backs which fall almost to the skirts
hem. All of the buttons. including
those trimming the turned-back cuffs
on the raglan sleeves, are of reseda
shade in bone, and there is a moderate
" wide rolling collar, which may be
turned high about the throat.
Among the shorter sports coats
those scarcely reaching to the knees
is a particularly fetching model in
mustard colored cloth. Its fulness is
gathered beneath broad straps starting
under narrow band finishing a collar
less neck and extending the length Of
the shoulders over the tops Of sleeves
to which they button. 4 narrow vestee
fills in the pointed opening Of the
coats fronts, which at the waist fasten
with double row Of two buttons to
the separated ends OF wide self-belt.
Below the belt the coat carries excep-
tionally large patch pockets of square
shape. but of diagonal placing. The
three wraps referred to show as many
distinct types of pockets, all patch ap-
piled, to be sure, but Of absolutely dis
similar appearance.
Rough and ready looking is the head
gear which accompanies the new wraps
for sports. 1t cannot be terme hat,
since it more resembles a visorless
cap. At times it is brimless, and again
it is turned back closely, making an
irregular line against the square crown.
The cap may be of the same material
as the coat, or il may match that OF
the sports skirt in small checked worst
ed. Occasionally such headgear gains
a touch Of femininity from. an inch
wide black velvet ribbon banding its
crown and tying in small bow at the
front.

an tens Of thousands of German
homes the wife and daughters are loved

Of military circles, even among the men
who hold official positions and boast
certain standing, woman has been de-
throned; she is regarded as an encum-
brance necessary for the production of
further generations Of super-men who
shall subdue the earth. This attitude
of mind revals itself in the action that
speaks louder than words. The tolera-
ton and the contempt to which | refer
are everywhere apparent. No good
looking woman is safe in Germany
from the ill-bred stares and comments
of the men with whom she must travel
in train or tram; if women enter
theatre or restaurant. their own friends
and relatives do not rise TO receive
them; they are liable to be elbowed
into the road if Len walking abreast

an Prussia no woman may organize
a union that has political aims; she
may not even join one. II is the pur-
pose of the dominant caste to keep
woman in subsection; to restrict her
activities to the kitchen, the cradle,
and the church; even to deny her the
mental and the physical development
that might tend to lead her to revolt.
Woman may find limited salvation IN
the conduct of business; throughout
the German Empire not far short OF
million women conduct commercial en-
terprises of one kind or another, and
collectively they strive with some sue
cess to better the physical and moral
conditions under which their sisters
live. No effort Of which they have yet
been capable has accomplished more
than this, their condition of tutelage
remains complete.
