What She Wears at Work

No matter how strong is a wage eaIners desire for the flashing finery worn by the woman of leisure she should repress it while she is wage earning. If she must have it. let her cultivate the diversion that demands it. While she is at work she must be clever compromise between the indif- ferent woman who is dowdy. the silly Waman who initiates the chorus of the Winter Garden and the strict econom- ist who buys her clothes for service and not for beauty
 She does not want 10 be an eceen- tric. The artists smock, the string of colored beads associated with studios are not for the practical atmosphere of wage earning. Let them be strictly limited to the studio.
 The wage earner's substitute for a smocS has been the white shirtwaist which is a garment of debatable suit ability Unless it is exquisite in mate rial and workmanship faultless il freshness. it is bad choice, and thS expensive shirtwsist is an extrava. gance for any but the rich woman.
 Unless the laundry bill is of small moment it is wiser to seek other blouses than thin white shirtwaists. Fashion provides many substitutes. | These are economical and more grace full
 Nearly all women have succumbed to | the apparent abolition of the wastline and do not therefore remove a coat
 from a skirt in public For this reason l they prefer the overblouse which, con i Verts the skirt into one-piece ffock and permits one to work without the 1 incubus of a jacket.

whims of the PSris bouleyards. Clothes are as exciting to them as the movies. They are mainly responsible for the four trips a year to Paris made by the manufacturers who sell extreme styles at an astoundingly low price.
 There is slight use in trying to re- form this set, of workers They must exploit the extremity of style and change that style. monthly or quar- terly, as their inclination suggests. They are the apotheosis of the Jap anese coiffure the bathing suit for morning work. the string of pearls for the noon hour, the footlight shoes of France for the pavements
 The higher salaried wage -earners, those who compete with successful men in their earnings. are apt to dis miss the question of clothes by putting the problem in the hands of af good dressmaloer. These women rarely econ onnize They save vitality by apparent extravagance- They seldom follow the caprices of Paris Yet they are rarely happy in their clothes
 Their social activities the manner in which their income permits them to live, eompels them to appear on q par with women of leisure who lead fash ionable lives Yet the absorbing atten- tion which their work demands in order that they may earn these large incomes prevents them from fighting to a finish the complex problems of good dressing.
 The genuinely interested dressmaker is one of life's best prizes to the wage earner. but it is asking much of human nature that it should give keen interest and inspiration to a person who does not buy heavily. one who is apt to make the best of a mistake by despair ' ing acquiescenee.
 Probably, therefore 1t Is best to ignore both these classes under dis cussion when it comes to suggesting a scheme of clothes. Between these two there is a great struggling class trying to look the best on the least with the greatest saving in time and vitality. The Success of a Scheme. To this class ltne most emphatic ad- vice that can be given first and fore most is to work out strict and care ful scheme for each seasons clothes and to place this on a foundation stone formed by a general scheme of con- tinuous dressing
 It is only through this channel that q wage-earner can steer safely through life If she has no definite plan of clothes. if she is beckoned hither and yon by succeeding fashions. if she is. stirred by suggestions from various sources she will end by drifting through series of failures.

lmporta nee of Accessories.

It is in the assembling of these social clothes that the average wage -earner makes a serious mistake She is apt to ignore. or to economize on the ac- cessories. She often buys cheap slip pers in order to have more money to put in street shoes and she does not buy either slipperskor stockings with their suitability to all evening clothes in her mink
 Uness she wears black as a constant evening color it is foolish to buy black satin slippers and silk stockings and expect them to give constant service. If she selects gowns in striking cblors it is necessary to have the slippers and shoes dyed to match. which is a costly proceeding. If she would take leaf from the French wage earner, who never omits social diversions from her scheme of life. she will choose a dull

 Few of these are needed by woman who does not make society her chief pastime. but for the very pride of the thing that little should be the best. If conservatively chosen, they need not be renewed each season. It is not the change of clothes. but their fit ness for an occasion that gives a woman the sense. and reputation of being well dressed.

ing industrial conditions, a modern Cambridge man, who is familiar with the working women in France and England, was asked his opinion of this class in America.
 His answer was an expression Of horror as he said with dramatic fervor If the women in England dressed as your working women do they would be arrested. I mean it.
 He thinks these women indecent in their clothes, immodest, in shocking bad taste. They are an outrage to the knee-length skirts. the transparent chiffon blouses without sleeves, the slippers on stilts. the openwork silk stockings, the~ immense coiffures, the incessant painting of the lips the rings on hands, the lack of gloves on the street Cheap. tawdry. grotesaue he said.
 He was asked for remedy. He an- swered emphatically; Uniforms

Recreation in Clothes.

No one who is familiar with the crowded industrial centers of our larger American cities is ignorant of the truth of the investigators accusa- tion. It is not easy to find a we'll dressed class between the low and high salaried women workers The latter group dress according to their environments and are, usually, in the hands Of high priced dressmakers; the former class are the ones who sup. port the cheap garment sellers who sare the real purveyors of extreme Paris fashions
 With the latter class clothes are often the reason Of their working They give part of their wages to the family. if they live at home. and the remainder goes for new apparel Dress is their pastime. It is worth the hard hours of labor. It is rarely sensible, it is seldom demure, it is not bought to give service. These girls follow the
