The broadening opportunities for
women in the financial world, and
the training necessary for those who
would improve upon them, were dis
cussed recently before the students
OF Wellesley college by Miss Eugenia
Wallace, supervisor of the Library
and Bond Filing department of the
Guaranty Trust Co. OF New York.
Miss Wallace's observations are
particularly timely by reason of the
tendency just now to substitute wom-
en- for men in all sorts of employ
ment She said in part:
THE colleges are the training
camps that are developing these
women and preparing them to be
leaders. For the first time, the col
lege girl is welcomed in the business
world. but she must measure up to
its requirements and then be con-
tent to start at the foot of the lad
der. Except in the rare cases
where mathematics or technical
work is required it matters very lit
tie what the college girl has studied.
Neither Latin, literature, nor ETY.
mology is needed. 1t is all a matter
of how the training Of the college
has been accepted. absorbed, and
used. The precious thing the bust

Don't be afraid. young mother
looking with tender and thoughtful
eyes at the babe in your arms. that
you will love her too much. Fear,
rather. that she may not have
enough Of love in her life.
The worst heritage with which a
girl can set forth on the life road is
that she has begun existence in a
home where there is not enough Of
love. In a loveIess atmosphere she
has been Tepressed and depressed.
She has been driven in upon her
self. She has become inexpensive
lovable. It is as though she had
started on a long, cold walk, chilled
at its beginning, with a good reason
to expect TO be frozen at its end
Whatever awaits us on the worlds
long way at least we are better
equipped by setting forth from a
home where love is. Such a home
is good to remember. II inspires. It
softens. II warns. Tt clears the
vision that has been djmmed by the
dust Of the road.
/ know two women who have
Jared forth from different kinds of
homes. In the home Of one there
had been love and calm and
warmth, tender words and kindly
voices. In the abode OF the other
had been harshness of voice and
speech, and sometimes even blows.
Both joined the army OF livelihood
earners in petticoats. They have
been equally successful, but one has
had a much better time about it.
The woman who came from the
home where love is, has never been
chilled by the world. There was
too much Of warmth in her heart
when she began her journey. The
winds Of the world blew coldly upon
her, as clodly as ever it blew upon
the other. But the warmth in her
her face. seemed TO reduce the
chill. At least they rendered her
more or less unconscious of it. Back
in that home she so happily remem-
bers and at thought of which she
always smiles, there were songs and
laughter. Out into the world she
carried those songs and that laugh
ter. They drew acquaintance to
her, held friends beside her. She
went through life enjoyingly, with a
good word for it. And II had a
good word for her.

ing OF the gown supplying this de-
nciency. When trimming is intro
duccd, it is expressed in a barbaric
girdIc. which is EN- broidered in a
riot Of colors, or is made Of beads
and briuiants.
Gray tulle evening gowns are
among the most popular and. with
the new narrow trains, are dainty
and dignihed. These trains are usu-
ally OF satin or brocade, although a
few are of velvet. and one of the
newest novelties is the ribbon train.

ribbon. in harmony with the color

is being heralded but is not widely
uesd as yet, is the double train.
which hangs from the hips. at either
side of the dress, and falls about
four inches on the floor The effect
is rather that of a support for the
figure, when the wearer is standing
still, and it does not especially add
TO her gracefulness, when she is in
motion. A gown of maroon velvet,
which was made with the surplice
bodice and long sleeves of tulle, vas
seen at the opera recently, and it
had, as its distinguishing feature.
this crabby little twin train.
Another rather odd arrangement
OF the skirt of the new evening gown
is formed by a swathing drapery
around the feet, the effect recalling
the narrow skirts of a few seasons
ago. Such skirts are short, however,
the dignity of the gown being en-
HANGED by tulle draperies, which
hang from the shoulders and form
the train.

How Much Shall We Love!

and absorbed by her work. possessed
by her ambition, she did not miss
human compauionship. But her
ambitions have been largely realized.
She has so well provided for the
remainder of her life that there is
no slightest danger that the world

wonders why.

Young mother, who casts timid

"Compose" Gowns

A glance at the modishly CARRIED
women who have taken possession
of the hotel restaurant tea rooms
reveals one striking new point in
the mode. You will not see a raised
or an empire waist line on any dress
that even pretends to be a new suit
or frock, says an authority on wom-
ems fashions.
There seem to be two waist lines.
One might just as we'll be called
hip line, for the part above the hips
Is semi o. loosely fitted A belt or
sash-which is often part of the
gown by the way-is placed at this
level, covering the seam between the
top and the lower part. The other
is a waist line that is placed where
the old 1900 waist line used TO be-
several inches below what we have
been calling the natural waist line.
While the belt or sash only goes
part way round the figure in many
cases. there is the same old dip in
front that there was in those days
Of the "Paquin slant" Only in 1900
the clothes were fitted. Now they
are all of a chemise-like looseness.
The belt or sash often interweaves
SO that parts of the frock are left

side of the front and back.
TIL new rule in France about
only four and one-half yards of
cloth being used I find is not so
startling as IL seems. This means
four and one-half yards OF wool. but
double width, which is equal TO nine

Since then I have seen many inn

that these compose dresses are
" wonderful. Somehow. did not get
the impression of so many fabrics
being used in one dress. The chiffon

In Paris the women have always
worn a different costume to the the
alter from what has been considered
correct for formal dinners or the
opera. A i-dccollete gown, with
tUlle or chiffon sleeves and = dressy
hat has been appropriate Tor the
theater. while the more formal

carefully dressed couture have been
the proper attire for the other oc-

adopted the semi-formal dress for
all evening affairs, and now New
York is Introducing the idea, not
from the point OF view OF economy

materials are still used. but there
are other considerations, born Of
present-day conditions. Gasoline is
valuable. labor is valuable, and the
example is a valuable one. The use
Of motors for pleasure is debarred
in Paris: New York is also trying TO
conserve its gasoline. and a semi
formal gown 81 the kind advocated
may be worn under a long coat and

in the subway or trolley.
New York has prided itself on it's

rivaled those worn at the opera, in
