The Finance Woman
By Ada Patterson

Word has gone quietly forth that
three of the greatest banking and
investment houses in New York in
tend TO take on, women aids this
autumn. The word has gone quiet
ly because the banking and invest
ment houses being necessarily eau
tious do not wish 10 attract 10 them

women, or earnest, dependa bic
women who are willing 10 undergo
the severe schooling required to
equip them for their work.
They want the right kind of
women" TO sell bonds and other in
vestment securities But they place
such emphasis upon the right kind
Of women" that they are making
a secret search for them
Meanwhile eight OF the pioneers,

Communicating the Rag Bag!

Nowadays the rag bag should be
brought out from its ignominious
retreat and handled with the great
est care and respect, for in it one is
likely to find treasures that are no
longer procurable in tha shops.
Even a young and sparsely filed
rag bag may become valuable
first aid in conservation, if its pieces
are carefully studied and put TO
their best use, as one young house
keeper has proved. She had but a
small supply of dresser scarfs, buffet
covers and odd doilies for use on
trays, and vet she did not feel that.
. i'm these times when the market
supply OF linens is low, that she
should buy any. SO, determining 10
find substitutes OF some sort. she
looked about in her sewing room, 10
see if she had any material on hand
that might be used But every
thing she had. had its own partic-
ular mission 10 perform, SC il was
left for the rag bag 10 produce what
was wanted. In that she found
several pieces that could be cut into
1S-inCh squares. nine-inch squares
and small circular pieces. all Of fine
linen that had been left from some
sewing OF several years before.
when housekeepers had not fully
developed the art of using scraps.
II may seem that these would not

I had seen in the hotel. He did not

LilIian's threatening air was so

the man entering the door, for he
turned and cast a quick sharp look
upon me before moving on TO a
table farther down the room. The

YOuthfulness and Large Hats.
Because Of their young g1rlish
appearance large hats are always
favorable But again they must be
most carefully avoided by the older
woman, unless they are particularly
becoming, for If attempted the un-
successful result will be quite hope
less. 1t was with intense unwill-
ingness that the majority of French
women adopted the large hats.
Small hats were just for them. so
smart, so truly French and many
still cling to them with stern de-
termination that small hats alone
are smart.
