IF you WERE A MILLIONAIRE.


Perhaps you are millionaire
perhaps you do count your fortune
in seven or eight figures, but If you
are not, then you would surely have
been interested in the conversation
that took place around the tea table
where a group of Washington club
women had gathered yesterday after
noon for the cup that cheers and
drives away the chilliness and gloom
that comes these winter afternoons.
"If were millionaire" said one,
q should give my entire fortune to
homes where old couples could be
taken care Of. There are so many
places where old women are taken
care of alone, and there are homes for
old men, too, but it is hard to find, in
most cities. a place where old men
and women grown old together can

That's what I'd do if my name was
Hetty Green"
"Oh, would you" was a surprised
answer. "But think how much more
important it is to take care of the
babies. There would be few des-
titute old folk if they had all had a
proper start in life. JUST think what
you could do if you were million
aire in founding baby welfare work." |"

Just then fifth joined the proup.
"Well, if l had money I know how
l should spend it. Perhaps 1t would
not be the very wisest, but it would
certainly do some good. l have just
had word from Cleveland, Ohio,
about the model apartment house for
working girls that Mrs. Livingston
Taylor is putting up there. That
strikes me as one of the best ways to
spend money, A lot depends on the
way the young working women of the
community are lodged-s lot more
than most people usually realize. Of

they are we'll off, but with the low

training 'or ability it is almost inn
possible for thcnrto make both ends
meet. I'd like TO see an undertaking
of this sort in every city in the coun-
try"
Have you heard of this new model
apartment house2 Mrs. Taylor is
one of the principal stockholders in a
large department store in Cleveland,
and she knows exactly how much
such an undertaking is needed, The
house is to contain one I hundred
rooms, with running water in each,
and a kitchenette where the girls can
prepare light breakfast or refresh
ments for themselves. There win be
a living-room and library and priv
ate reception rooms where the girls
may receive their callers. There will
be laundries, too, so that the girls can
wash their own linen when they
choose.
Just imagine what such an institu-
ton would mean to the girl who
works for ten or twelve dollars a
week. Compare it, il you can, with
the life that she needs must lead in
a small hall bedroom in rundown
lodging house. %
If you had many millions, wouldn't
you spend little on house of this
sort for the girls who work?

BLUE CLOTH AND BLACK FUR.
For afternoon wear this frock in light
blue cloth trimmed with black fur is
very charming. The skirt is a simple

placed on either side of the front. The
back Of the waist extends over the
shoulders and buttons on to the front
In yoke effect. Narrow soutsehe braid
outlines the V-shaped neck, which has
a vest of plain silk
The trimness of this frock suggests
its possibilities for development in lin.

The fur Is applied in such a way that
it can be easily removed when it be-
