HazeIrigg, Miss Rosa Ferlet, Miss
Mary Morrison, Miss Ethel Grant,
Miss Glen Davis and Miss Emily
Crow Mrs. Hazelrigg, a minister of
the Christian denomination, told OF
her profession, it's difficulties and
Conversations She spoke of the
prejudice against women in minis
terial work, which, however, she has
found to be no handicap in her ca
reer. She has worked as an evan
gelist and resident minister for TWEEN
ty years. She told a number of in
teresting stories of her personal pas
toral work and her present labors in
building church in Auburndale.
There is - she said, "a distinct place
for women in the ministry, for in a
personal way they can do a great deal
that men cannot do. l have found
much to do in reconciliating estranged
members of families, in helping way
ward girls and boys, in visiting pris-
oners and the sick
Miss Davis spoke briefly of her
work as designer and maker of
gowns. The chief difficulty in a town
of this size and location is to modify
the fashionable, imported styles that
one finds in the east, to the taste and
pocketbooks of the midweStern small
town woman. The women of this
town understand and desire in their
clothes the beauties of costumes cost
ing a good many hundred dollars and
the designer is expected to reproduce
the effects of those gowns for price
ranging, usually, from SIS to $3.50"
Miss Harrison played two piano
numbers; Miss Grant also furnished
piano music, and Miss Crow sang, ac-
companied on the piano by Miss
Grant.
Miss Ferlet, who represents the fire
insurance business in the club, gave a
comprehensive view of that business.
She explained the origin of Insurance
as a commercial device to distribute
fire loss
When the little group of merchants
gathered in Lloyd's Coffee house in
London less than 200 years ago, ana
combined their resources in insurance
ventures, they laid the foundation of
a business that today embraces so
many millions that the non-arithmeti-
cal mind is hardly capable of grasp
ing them. They were the first to pro-
pose this modern idea of concentrated
business action. And this matter of
concentration is one of the many
| things which has revealed the super
| iority of the modern world over the
ancient world.

The Square and Compass club will
have their dancing party tonight at
Kellam hall.
Two new styles have been intro
duced into our town, straight from
New York. One S a fashion of hair
dressing, and the other is a perfectly
up to the minute way of wearing the
eyebrows.
One of the stylish young matrons
who has been in New York not long
since came home with a new switch
cut from her own head. The method
is to have thick strand cut from a
central spot at the back of the head
| The hair is cut close, leaving a bald
| spot of some size covered by the locks
| about it. The hair that has been cut
| out can be better handled in de-
tached state and pinned on afterward
They say that a switch made from
| comblngs always has a dead look that
| one cut off does not have.
| The eyebrow style is called the pen
| Gil eyebrow, and it is the rage in the
| east. All of the eyebrow is removed
except a narrow streak running up

almost straight. They have to have
| frequent treatments to keep them from
| spreading out to their original proper
tions and form. A Topeka girl who is
always in the lead in the newest fash
ions has the pencil eyebrows.
