all depends upon the appeal of the sew
eral styles to the public.
One cannot go wrong in the selection
of suit like that one shown In the
picture 1t has straight skirt in IA
conservative length and just wide
enough for comfortable walking Tho
coat is straight with narrow belt con-
filming 1t at the waist and there are
very long ends at the front finished
with tassels. 1t reveals the persist
ence of embroidery and embroidered
effects in styles for fall and indications
are that this vogue has not reached
the crest of the wave In its popular
ity. The collar merits special atien-
ton, being a mixture of styles AMI
a novelty. 1t is SO arranged that 1t
can be thrown about the throat like
short scarf and is prettily finished
with fiat tassels. Buttons secure 1t In
the position shown by the picture.

"HERE are women In every COM
i munity who would like to earn
pin money by some meanss that will
not interfere with their home duties.
In the larger cities there are short
hour" women employed in the shops,
with hours from eleven in the morn
ing until three or four in the after
noon, who find they can manage their
household affairs and go to business
too. But their homes are usually
small and convenient apartments In
which homework is reduced to a
minimum of effort The same OppOr-
tunities do not come to women in the
smaller towns and villages or on the
farms. In the larger communities
also there are opportunities of mer-
chandising in small way. Some
women, familiar with millinery, do a
thrifty little business In the spring
and fall Of the year, buying and SELL
ing hats which they display in their
own homes. Waists and neckwear
prove worth while for others. A bust
ness Of this kind IS usually conducted
by women who have had experience
In store at some time.
About the most sslable of all things
are good foods. Women who excel In
any direction, as In making bread or
cake or preserves, jams, pickles, or in
canning fruits. have an opportunity to
build up permanent source Of In
come II they can introduce and mar
ket their products. Many Of them are
using the parcels post for shipping di-
rect from country to city. The first
requisite Is to gather together few
customers, and this must be done
either through solicitation by mall OF
by personal solicitation. A friend Will
sometimes undertake to- place farm
products among her acQuaintances in
the city, and after the producer gets
In touch with few regular customers
these can be asked to recommend

profitable, ought to prove interesting
prospects to women who excel in max

& UGH essential things as suits and
~ other clothes for the street, are
launched by their manufacturers long
before the season for their wearing
Is at hand. This must be done so that
merchants may buy them little in
advance of the time when they are
needed. September finds the public
Interested and October finds them buy
Ing very briskly their practical clothes
for general wear and there is consid-
cradle business earlier, for Quitting
young women who are going away to
school.
1t Is for the benefit of such fortu-
nate young persons that the very at
tractive suit shown In the illustration
Is offered for consideration in August.
1t is one of many attractive creations
that are specially well adapted to the
lines of youthful figures. Drawing
such conclusions as may be gathered
this early in the season, skirts are
to vary considerably in width, the ex-
tremely narrow ones not appealing to
people of the best judgment and there
are really not any models that can
be called severe In line among the new
coats. Skirts may be plain or plated.

PIN MONEY PROPOSITIONS

for boys or girls can usually arrange
to furnish supplies Of some sort to
them.
Besides these usual means OF pick

mites for women who own and drive
cars. In summer and winter resorts
they get together sightseeing parties
and take them on short motor trips
that yield pretty profit, or they es
tablish regular trip carrying people
to and from certain points. Women
have proved themselves quite equal to
driving motorcars In all parts OF the
country. Some young women have
very happy faculty for entertaining
children. They undertake to look
after number Of little ones one or
two afternoons In each week, releas-

Some women and girls are success
full In soliciting subscriptions to peri
odicals and books. Some do well SELL
ing merchandise, as stockings. cOrSetS,
embroideries, among their friends. In
considering the matter Of making pin
money it Is necessary first to take
stock of ones accomplishments to de-

to the piano and dashed into bril-

appeared, unannounced, In the arched
entrance Of the drawing room.
His gray-brown eyes shone with
shallow brilliancy as they rested upon
the couple at the piano. Clinton had
risen. He stood gazing down at Ellen

miration easy to mistake for some
thing deeper and more serious. BENIN
