From office boy to president Of
company is such a usual thing that
people no longer marvel when they
read about such instances In the
rise Of self-made men. But it is
still strange thing for q woman
to become president Of a company,
no matter what her beginnings
were. 1t is therefore with interest
that women will read Of the rise
Of Miss Nellie NJ Scott. who climb
ed from the position Of stenogra-
pher to president of a large man
ufacturing company.
Miss Scott started in as stenOg-
rapher and general clerk in the
Bantam Ball Bearing company of
Bantam, Conn. when the firm was
CHARTERED in q small little shack.
AS the business grew and increased
and larger quarters and more help
we're needed, Miss Scott grew with
it and she finally was made secre-
tary to the president of the con-
Germ. The president has now re-
tired and Miss Scott has been ap-
pointed to succeed him. She is nat
urally adapted to the duties Of the
business organization and manage
ment, and has served as director in
the company for some time past
Miss Scott believes that women
are as capable Of handling e1ecu-
tive positions as men and she Il
glad that she will have the chance
to prove to herself that she is right
The company is operated on a prof
it sharing plan. which was spon'
sored to great extent by its new
woman president.

The tulle hats are very popular
this season. The brims of these
hats, either those which droop al
luringly or those which have a
piquant upward fare. are always
composed of at least three layers
Of the filmy fabric. the edges of
which may be threaded with gold
or with tiny tinsel band in bright
blue or silver. Sometimes the hats
are developed in light co.pred tulle
to match the frocks. but the all
black one is the favored type. This
becoming model is a youthful style
for the young debutante to wear to
her afternoon parties and tea
dances. 1t is made of black astin
and tulle combined. Burnt ostrich
encircling the crown is the only
trimming and the flange of the tulle
has a softening effect even upon
the prettiest and most youthful face
while 1t is a distinct advantage for
the older woman.

women who entered the business

step down and out, now that the
war is over, will soon change their
views If they talk to some of the

BY ELOISE.

What hat to wear is an important
question when one is to attend az
fairs where heads are kept cover
ed. The afternoon of bridge, the
restaurant luncheon or dinner. the
tea dance and the reception all re-
quire hats chosen with much
thought and care. The chapeau
which is becoming when high col
lar Of fur or a dark sui. is worn
with 1t may be very unattractive
when the wraps are removed and it
shows the colored gown or an ex-
panse Of neck and shoulders. The
small hat, for instance, is usually
very becoming with the large flu:
coat. for it tends to produce tap
ering silhouette. but it is often dis
appointing when worn with a low
necked frock or blouse. The safes.
and most satisfactory result is OBJ
tanned with the large hat developed
in black tulle or chiffon.
