striction being placed on the costumes
Of the women working for him. He be-

has to say about n:
II believe that there are three good
reasons why women working In public
places should wear a uniform style o'
dress. They are as follows:
F'irst-It IL more economical for
the girl.
second-It II neat and makes
good impression on the public.
Third-It II more sanitary.
ST have found II advisable to adop'
a standard which requires the female
help to wear black and whitehall IL
either all black or black skirt and white
waist, but during the months OF july
and August we give then more LATITUDE

WHAT GIRL WHO WORKS

The employer should not have the right to demand
uniform unless he pays for It, Black and white should not
be demanded because black is too expensive do not be-
leve in uniforms. sG
MRS COURT F. WOOD-President of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs
There is no reason why women should ape men, and
wear stiff tailored clothes with high collars for business
purposes Working women should keep feminine in the
way Of dress without being too fluffy.

Saving Hint.

Save your old silk raincoat to make
nice bathing suit for next summer.
Cut the blouse and skirt from the best
part and make the boomers from what
is left over. or from mohair. Trim 1t
with n bright braid and make tie and
cap from the spare pieces.
Another use for that old coat IL to
make It into waterproof bags which are
very handy for carrying rubbers or
slippers to school this winter. These

The closing OF the door prevented my

In the first place the light was bad
