Is a woman temperamentally fit ted for service on a jury in a crim- final case? Does famine intuition make women better arbiters than men? Will that intuition which women are conceded to possess in high degree prove a. surer and safer guide than mere masculine logic ? What would happen were a lone woman juror. holding out against the opinion of eleven male co-Jurors, to find herself bullied, brow-beaten, ha- rangued and almost third-degreed ? These and similar questions naturally arise from the announcement now made that Florence Reeds newest vehicle had to do with what is de- scribed as the remarkable case of the first woman juror appointed in a cer- tain State. The picture is entitled "A Woman Under Oath."

The New Clothes

The woman who wishes to choose summer wardrobe which she feels is adequate, without entailing a large expenditure, should take time about making her selections and make them in a calculating manner.
 Some essentials of the summer wardrobe are first, 'tailleur or one piece frock of some sort, suitable for wear on the street or to a luncheon in town, two or three morning frocks of gingham or calico or voile, sev- eral sweaters with hats to match, or a wide brimmed leghorn or milan that will go well with almost any in formal summer frock or sports rig, a number of separate skirts and bIouses and perhaps an organdie or Georgette frock for afternoon wear. Some sort of lightweight wrap is es- sential, which may be substituted by the summer fur by the woman who feels that she can afford it. Little capes of squirrel serve this purpose beautifully.
 High-hee1ed and Iow-heeIed white pumps and oxfords should be in cluded, of course, together with black or brown pumps to wear with dark frock on rainy days when light clothes look out of place.
 There are any number of pretty frocks and minor details of dress that may be added to the wardrobe by the woman who has an unlimited income. However, many of them may be duplicated with very little eX- PenSe by the woman who is ingenious and delft with the needle.
 It is interesting to note the con- tinued vogue for handmade flet as trimming for satin and silk crepe under aparel, in view of it's compara- tive absence in import showings. Cot ton garments show little use of it, ex- cept when the garments are them selves handmade. For the silk, how ever, it continues to figure prom inently, and there is practically no house that plays up the better end of merchandise that does not employ It, so that in this class of undergar- n1ent 1t is apparently more in favor than in any previous season, in spite of runners of its waning prestige for outer garments.
