Lending Helping Hand to Womankind Along the Highway to Independence
:lv DOLLY DALRYMPLE

TN his recently published book,
 woman and Home" the author, S Orison Sweet Warden, has an inter esting chapter on The Future of our Daughters"
 .Eminently a safe and sane counselor of youth. he quotes the words of a law yer, the father of four little children, who said
 For the two boys it is not so serious, but I lie down at night afraid to die and leave my daughters with only bank account"
 How many fathers doubtless feel the same; fathers, perhaps, more than moth CTS, because of their contact with the world.
 Possessing knowledge and realizing the helplessness of those lacking it. they know the futihty of bank account without wisdom in safeguarding the morey it represents.
 Commenting upon the remark, MT. Mar den says:
 No human being is absolutely in sured against the accidents of the future, unless he has that within himself which leaves him master of circum- stance.'
 1t is because parents are beginning to appreciate this fact more and more that they are willing to permit their daugh- ters to enter into industrial competition with men; it is not so much that the earnings of the girl are essential to the economic upkeep of the home as that the girl herself needs practical experience in trade; in profession; in scientific achievement such as she can obtain only in the days of her youth when she is teachable.
 Old-fashioned mothers full of tender love for their daughters, feel that once safely married, their future is assured, but all the facts of life prove such theories false the girl who marries, of course, does gain in security inasmuch as her immediate family circle is widened he" husbands people show an interest in her and feel a duty toward her; a man who loves her will guard her future as long as he is able but mems lives sometimes blow out like can dies in the wind banks fail and bank ac- counts dwindle. The one thing of which a woman is sure is the power within herself; if she has no wage earning abil- ity then her situation is often pathetic
 Even if parents and kin are willing to provide for dowerless woman, the spirit of the times has awakened in her a de- sire to be financially dependent upon no one save the man to whom she has plighted her troth at the altar; that was a partnership-not a dependency
 Meanwhile, supposing her without fi- nancial aid, what is she to do?

DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS ANNE ..lgn.nor.u FOR WOMEN
Silk gloves will be in first fashion this summer when they have deep gauntlets, embroidered or ruffled.


 New York, July 4.-Kid is scarce. The nations cry aloud for it. It is needed for those stupendous things which go to- ward fighting battles with success. The minor matter of making gloves, pocket books and shoes for women and men, is rot to be considered. Soon we will be in the position that the south was dur ing the civil war, when a tremendously prosperous social group were compelled to twist and turn and use their ingenuity to substitute one fabric for another in order that they might be clothed
 One Fabric Goes, Another Comes
 The women discovered that they could dye fabrics by using pokeberries and mulberries. They found that certain types of coarsely woven cloth could be made into shoes. They found that calico was quite good enough for frocks. They realized that kid gloves were easily re- placed by mitts of old lace or net which could be made at home.
 They banished straw and took up hats of cotton materials, trimming them with bits of faded ribbons dyed under the magnolia trees outside of the kitchen.
 The men of the south were also doing their part, in the way of invention, for they invented the ironclad warship and the submarine. It was the desperate Confederates off the South Carolina coast who first started undersea warfare. They wanted food, and they tried to sink some parts of that blockade which the north established in order to starve out II, 1T Confederate soldiers the Conda Crush.
 That poor, fantastic little bit of under sea machinery that the Confederates in- vented and used in a feeble way has become the most terrific engine of war fare the world has known, and the little ironclad boat which they sent forth to fight it's great opponents has become the established battleship on seven seas.
 And the ingenuity of the southern women who were constantly substituting enc fabric for another in dress through out the four years of their desolation, will be adopted and furthered by the women of America as this war goes on and those who fight need the materials worn by women.
 There is no harm in this An over whelming good will come out of it. Our brains have become a bit sodden under the weight of the splendid things that the markets of the world have poured on us. Now there is chance for our brains to become quckened through necessary economy and ingenuity,

 women on small incomes. Today the silk glove has come back into it's own. It is the last work in style for the hands.
 These gloves are gauntleted, as in the days of chivalry. Many of them are hand embroidered or brilliantly machine embroidered with fine, colored crystals, with checks of black and white at the top, and with Aztec and Peruvian designs in deeply colored thread. Other gauntleted silk gloves have fine, knife pleated ruffles outlining the edges. Again, they are embroidered in a bold manner on the hand. and instead of the usual three strips of indentation, there are arrowheads and circles done in col ored floss.
 A pair of these embroidered gloves is shown in the sketch They are worn with gown of French blue dimity gir- dled with a loose sash of satin. The hat is of dimity with ruffles of chiffon.
