Jobs for Girls in
England GrOW Less

LONDON. - High grade employ
ment Is becoming increasingly diff
ficult for ambitious girls to get, ac-
cording to Il statement made by the
ministry OF labor.
Banks and insurance companies
SAYS the secretary OF the ministry,
will only take girls as stenogra-
pliers, though there are ambitious
girls with "A good education fit for
better work than this.
"All the same, the only field for
girls in England today lies in the
wholesale and retail needlework
trades
But even then, firms In these
trades will only take girls ready TO
start at the lowest rung and work
up.
"There should bo plenty Of scope
In dress and millinery designing,
and there are plenty of girls with
originality and talent in these di-
rections. But who ever hears OF a
famous woman designer? Men seem
TO have the monopoly entirely"

Rotary rose to the occasion. There
were no lengths TO which It would
not go to please the ladies. Some of

made all parts of the country. Here
was a minister who habitually faced

were Frank and Dick and Tom and

What he desired was TO discuss

Dainty little pins, rings and ear
rings are no longer the fashion.
Jewelry must have compelling size

pearls about the throat has abso-
lutely no style at all; one must wear
massive beads. or a olinking chain
studded with sizable ornaments that
suggest such Jewels as the Kohinoor
diamond, a Sultan's emerald or ruby
worth a kings ransom. All these
heavy, massive trinkets give note
OF barbaric splendor TO feminine
dress-at any rate they look. smart
and modish at the moment and
daintier ornaments must\ bide their
time for revival of popular favor.
Consider the armlets pictured. for

around the arm above the elbow and

dants swings when the arm moves.
