When he came once more in

the figure of Mr.. Bannerjee al

he had reverted with vengeance.
He was wearing a white dhoti
Bengal fashion, draped over his
shoulder, and the black hair which
usually shone with brillisntine was
covered with a paste of ashes. In

They might have got another

hope of getting one of the IL jobs

announced by the Municipal Civil
Service Commission that the jobs
would be given to the first appli-
cants who could pass the tests.
The jobs aren't the kind women
would want because they are easy,
or because they pay big salary.
The pay TO start is $3.50 a year,
and the work is washing glass
ware. taking care of animals,
cleaning cages. and other such un-
elamorous tasks. Really, nothing
more than homework in a lsbora-
tory.

all ages. Some were wives whose
husbands were unemployed. Some
the sole support Of families. Some
were college graduates.
The only like thing about them
was that they all wanted work,
wanted IT enough to bring cold
sandwiches in paper bags and sleep
ell night in chairs lthey thought
they would have TO stand outdoors
but an armory was opened to
them).
Perhaps 1t isn't as amusing
picture OF American women as the
''panpered wife" portrait. But il
has the advantage OF being a real
picture. And as full of courage
and determination as any picture
Of pioneer women crossing the
great plains.

TYPES OF CLOTHES

The patriclan has little use for
active sports clothes.
In the country, she wears Brit
ish twecds. preferably the softer
ones. In town. she wears tailleurs.
She likes formal furred suits
for cocktail parties and she
needs little dinner dresses As
well as formal evening gowns.
She will find one or two simple
but elegant black dresses indis-
pensable.
In the evening, Directoire and
Empire influences are perfect be-
cause of the styled elegance.
Her formal suits may strike
dignified Edwardian note with
position feeling and cascade of
ruffles on an exquisite lingerie
blouse.
With her tailleur she may
wear hat with derby lines,
with veil tucked into the
high stock.
With more formal clothes she
may wear tricornes, Coronet ef-
fects, Gainsborough picture hats,
etc.
COLORS
The patrician will prefer foggy
tones for her tweeds, grays for
her tailleurs. set off by the deeper
tones of silver fox scarf. and for
formal suits, taupe, eggplant or
garnet.
Her afternoon dresses will
he black. relieved with pearls
or. in summer. clearly blocked
black and white prints of we'll
considered. highly decorative
design.
Her evening gowns will be colors
such as Empire green. royal
purple. peeress red or that truly
royal combination. white satin
trimmed or brocaded in gold.
FABRICS
Besides the tweeds and the mems
wear fabrics for her tsilleurs, the
black crepes for afternoon, and the

wear in the evening such stiffly
formal fabrics as upholster's satin.
