BALTIMORE, Dec. 26-Not only
 employment, but also health and
 romance have been found by wom- en on the platforms Of Baltimore Street cars.
 Six women employed here as conductors have held their posts for the past ten years and are now familiar figures on the city's troll leys.
 The six are all who remain of more than POO women who served as conductors" here during the war period. One of the six has been enabled 10 school her five children and purchase a home. Another has found health in the outdoor work.
 Many of those who gave up their work after the war married con ductors or motormen whom they met while serving as conductors. Others married passengers. Still others found employment in the offices of the system.
 Mrs. Katherine Lesealleett be- came a conductor after the death Of her husband. Her five children are grown now, three are married. one to a street car conductor, and the other two are completing their schooling. Meanwhile the moth | CT has been able to purchase home with her earnings.
 A double motive prompted Miss Lillian Frances Alder to become ! conductor. She wanted to ~do her bit' during the war so she filled the place vacated by one of the men who went to France. Also doctors had warned her health was failing and only through out i ioor work could she hope to re- cuperate. She liked her work SO well that she has kept the position.
 Officials of the railway com Dany report that the six remaining women conductors have been as efficient as any men could be in

slant recurrence OF stripes, plaids, and
checks, not always in conventional de-
sign, for many are presented in a
startling modernistic tempo.
There is a new color interest at
tached to sports stripes, checks, and
plaids this season in that so many are
carried out in the handsome browns
and yellows which are being so loudly
acclaimed by the mode. For the
blouse in the picture to be carried out
in brown and yellow check wooden
with landings of yellow broadcloth
characterizes it as an experiment of

There is an emphatic Endorsement of
