SOME SPRING FASHION TIPS
PopuIar-Pumpkin Color Is Worn
With Navy Short Jacket Suit.

A swagger linen blouse of white re-
Gently seen had a high collar, plated
frillS and long bands of r~ose-colored
linen. which were stitched all the way
down the upper part of the sleeve. The
effect was decidedly new and interest
ing, observes n fashion writer in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Very smart and attractive are three
piece or MILDLY suits evolved In silk
and cloth combinations, and these have
very becoming lines for youthful fig
ures.
Decidedly unique is this idea: Pump
kin yellow handkerchief linen is devel-
oped into a mannish, tucked front
sleeveless blouse to wear with a navy
suit whose jacket is short and boxlike
in the latest fashion line.
Effective catstitching in heavy silk
is seen for spring.
A lovely shade of amethyst suede
draped and clasped with a silver
buckle forms the belt on q white We
lours waistcoat made to go with a short
jacket Of navy tricotine suit. The re-
suit is most pleasing.
Many different colored piques are
used for collars and cuffs or lingerie
blouses for spring, and this same ma
terlal forms many of the smart vests
and waistcoats made from spring suits.
A delicate gray handkerchief linen
is used for some Of the most attractive
handmade blouses that have arrived
from Paris.

The Woman of Forty and
What She Should Do and
Not Do to Hold Her lob

The woman of forty and over must
learn to obey orders in an office.
The woman of forty and over must
forget the rules of her former employ
ment and yield TO those of the new job.
The woman OF forty or I've should
be neat.
The woman of forty and ove must
demand no especial consideration be-
cause OF her years.
These are just a few of the warn
ings offered the middle-aged woman
seeking employment by Mrs. Alice Nc
Bride of the Woman's Association of
Commerce of Chicago.
She has given them TO Miss Eliza
beth Bennett, temporarily Of the en-
ployment bureau of the women's di-
vision of the state council of defense,
and applicants for work will be with
all due delicacy informed that these
be good rules to follow.
TOO often I've seen the middle-aged
woman lose track of herself, as it were,
when she is employed, and l know en-
ployers put up with her just so long
and then she is dismissed.
Men like q neat woman in an Of
flee. She need not be a raving beauty
If only she be neat and prepossessing.
And she need not think that q bit of
cosmetic, a bit of powder or a good
cream are only the young woman's pre-
rogative. The older woman needs to-
look well and must see to 1t that she
does.
"But most of all, the middle-aged
mi finds it difficult to adhere to
rules in an office, and too often she
initiates by saying, AT my last place
we did so and So
Now, then, all the employer cares
about is having his own rules carried
out and the woman employed will do
well to take his viewpoint"
Mrs. Mcbride is a-well, she will
not tell her age, her weight or her
financial standing.
II am old enough to know" she says,
and those who know her say she most
certainly does know from the top of
her glossy white hair and perfect COM
plexion to the tips of her perfectly
shod feet. Mrs. Mcbride is a stenog-
rapher.

 AS we explored the margin of the valley (the worst place, as we after Wsrd found), we could plainly hear the ground ring hollow beneath the tunlls of our staffs and more than once we felt it shake beneath our blows. What if the ground should suddenly give way beneath our feet and precipitate us into a steaming Caldron?
 "A breath of the steam from & vent blown around us for a moment by chance breeze gave an uncom- fortable burn. We knew that if once a man fell into such a place he would be instantly parboiled.
 At first we roped up as for mountain climbing and spread out, so that if one man went through, the others could pull him out. But when we came better to realize the condi- tions, we discarded the ropes, for we decided that if a man once got in it would be more merciful to leave him than to attempt to pull him out

EIGHTH WONDER

Mt. Katmai, Alaska, So Chased by Robert E. GriS6s

Washington, D. C., May 10.-"The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, tho great safety valve of Alaslla's won derful volcano, Mt. Katmai, is one of tho greatest wonders of the world jf not indeed the very greatest of all the wonders on the face of the earth declares Robert F. Griggs, leader of the National Geographic society's 1915, 1916 and 1917 Mt. Katmai expeditions, in his report to the society on the result of his in- vestigations.
 '"The valley cannot be described" continues the Griggs' report, a part of which is issued by the society as a bulletin released to the press to- day. "Only after one has spent many days within it's confines does one be- gin to grasp the proportions.
 'sThe sensation of wonder and ad- nIiration, which came first to all our party, soon gave way to one of stupe- faction. The magnitude of the phe- nomena simply overcame us.

 Quick adaptation of the best so- cjal reform methods of our allies, na- tion-wide standardization of public and private charities and immediate ratification of present diversified methods of handling the industrial and social problems of the nation are urged by leading American social workers participating in the program Of the conference.
 By throwing the experiences of ex ecutives of charities, of industrial leaders, of home service workers of the Red Cross, of government off, C:als, and of army officers all into the social melting pot at Kansas City, it becomes possible to create a nation al program of social advance of such transcendant unity as to enable the ration to back up the field program Of the war department to the utmost, say social workers planning the meeting.
