What Driter in "HGrpeTs Maga.
zine" said about shop girls in
1882: "Those who are familiar
0ith their pert manners and their
tdtOdry 0fectdtion of fnery Dil
not be disposed to bestow much
sympathy upon them"
and the public 10 ask for subscriptions.
"0ur association is the only one Of its
kind in the city; it is intended to do good
to the members by opening paths of
Christian usefulness to all young ladies
who desire to join. II we are too strict,
may not those who .most need our infu-
ence be repelled? Again, some Of our
best workers would be those who could
not afford money and who may be un-
willing to join because they could not
contribute their share toward the ex-
penses. Very few young ladies have an
income of their own-or even an allow
ance. Whatever they contribute is gen.
orally the money given by father or moth
er and is not gained by personal self
denial"
This gentle persuasion brought a ready
response and concerts became a regular
thing. Lectures for the girls were all
chosen with care. Where the modern
''Y" girl hears about -psycho-analysis, po-
litical economy and philosophy, the "Y"
girl Of the early '70s was given innocu-
Gus doses Of such subjects as woman
hood" domestic Economy" "John Bun
yam" and "A Tour Through Scotland"
A New York newspaper, commenting
editorially on this novel movement going
on among young women, put the popular
attitude toward the working girl Of this
period in a nutshell.
"a woman alone in the world. n woman
delicately or even decently brought up
and obliged 10 earn her own living, is rec
ognized everywhere as not merely pitt
able but an abnormal object" the edi-
torial ran. Everything that is done to
adjust her to her strange conditions or to
make the conditions Of her life less strange
and hard for her must be done by the ex-
press provision and desire Of wise and
benevolent people. We can hardly con-
ceive a state Of society in which this high
ly necessary thing will do ITSELF
And Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, speaking pros
phetically at one of the early annual
meetings Of the association, said:
"There is no reason why women should
not in large measure do the bookkeeping

Another curious novelty is u shOul-

enormous scarf, which, starting from
the point where the shoulder seams
might be. is continuous cut from
the front of the gown. These long
ends hang over the back of the gar.

three-quarters of yard wide and
reach to the hem OF the skirt. Some
times these scnrf ends are crossed at
the back, in which case they form a
muffling collar and cape wrap.

band ties on one shoulder with long
ends and loops.
