The effect of the hat and tho modish, veil wero undeniably be witching. "I wuh particularly enthusiastic over her Ktou coat of palo tan cloth, clipping her pretty wllm waist very close. Its perfect roundness, was shown off to advantage by three tmllned lltted capes spreading out upon her shoulders. Tho collar of this iemptlng novelty In spring wraps was high, During, lined with plentcd tan chiffon and 'right under tho chin two filmy scarfs of chiffon Joined ends nnd then lluttored well below tho waist line.

'"Ilavn you thn least Idea who he Is?" asked the hostess. i . "Well," answered tho detective In brown, "I havo my cyo on ono young man. nnd lo think of poor, dear Hack Hay, such a line follow to bo so soon forgotten. What short memories sonio women have, nnd do you know Blio told mo not six months ago, with a touching' quiver of her Up, that tho bal anco of her llfo would bo devoted to writing hitf mnmolin?" 'A sigh for tho shortcom lugs of Mrs. Hack Hay went round tho room and then tho hostess spoko tip, Inquiringly: Tin- IliinilUcrclilf f limine WnlU "Can any ono tell me for what purpose all hoso big floss fringed Mlk nud paune'd hiiml lerchlcfs havo been Introduced that I see tivcrywhoro ami what Is going to bo tho quality of tho new foulards? "Ilurk to me," replied the girl from Chi cago, spreading u filmy bit of white cambric on ono kneo and scttltii; thereon her crisp cooky. "Those- handkerchiefs, those big fei lows a foot and a half square, are Intended for tho beautlllcatlon of smart spring theater and houso waist. They are fringed nnd figured for uso In combination with panne or taffeta of a solid tone and usually form tho Blcovo cape, rovers, collar, yoke cuffs etc., and tho consequence Is something to 1111 tho heart of tho beauty lover with Joy. As to the foulards, tho very highest satin finish you can get brings you nearest tho acme of .sartorial perfection.

"If 1 havo read tho augurs nrlght," she continued, "there Is suvo to be a crazo for clear apple green straight through the sea Mm. My tailor atwures me that It will be the perfection of taste for skirt linings and yes terdny I apostrophked with all tho admiring adjectives at my command a reception gown of npplo green liberty satin relieved by decorations of Persian llgured panned ribbon and black velvet.

"My tailor, by tho way, is a remarkable perfijii for his prescience ho far as femlnlno frills are 'Concerned and ho tells ine that taffeta and velvet aro sure to be extensively used In Raster dressmaking.

"Another gllmpso I had was of a dove gray velvet skirt and coat nnd suit strapped beautifully with black taffeta, ami tho coat was gorgeous with Its buttons of inother-of pearl, having each a cabochon emerald sunk Into tho polished pearl center. Of course I exclaimed nt tho extrnvaganco of these cownB, but when 1 was told that tho now velvet for tailor suits Is especially woven tn stand wear and weather without tho least loss of lu&ter or flattening of pile. I began to wonder If I might not Invent In such a suit myself nnd And It a positive economy. "Its nil very woll for you young, slim creatures to talk of the coat and skltt suit," walled Mrs. Van Knickerbocker. "The days for surh comfortable dressing are done for me, so when I droppeJ In on my man tho other" day I resigned myself to a rou of ceremony, and, realizing every pound of this too solid flesh, 1 selected a handsome variety of heliotrope cloth strapped with white taffeta and finished about tho hem, collar, Blcevcc ar.d revcrs with a very pretty fenther garnishment, decorative as fur, but light as ostrich plumes, In a deeper tone of heliotrope thuh my suit Itself. It goes al most without faying that I have a sash at tachment, fastened at tho back by two pearl buttons holding amethyst bullseycs and knotted In front with fringed ends falling below the knees." In all of which tasteful array you will outshine any ono of tho 'slim young things' no matter how smart her velvet suit may be," llattcrlnzly Insisted tho girl from Chicago, as the protracted meeting round tho tea toblo broke up Its magic circle.

The conditioners deal only with the raw silk as It comes from tho cocoon, a filmy, deceptive substance to work with. 'How long did it take me to Isarn thin business?" said a woman nssayer as she stirred her bubbling bags. "A lifetime. It's thirteen years since I started In business nnd I've been conditioning all that time. My father and grandfather were conditioners. They learned silk in the old country." I took up silk, conditioning because it pays better than stonography and I had tho right feel of the lingers," said nnother boiler off. "No matter hov, intelligent a girl Is, If the silk sticks to her fingers aho's a failure but I found out qulto accidentally, after I had settled on being n secretary, that I wr.s a born silk worker. Women having tho right knack with silk can always make gond money nnd the silk Industry Is one lino of work In which women aro absolutely Indls ponsable. Kor Instance, only women are em ployed In the warp room of any silk manu factory and this preparing of tho lengthwise thread of thp loom Is most Importnnt nnd a lepartment enabling the Industrious worker to mnko a week. Men aro excellent wenvers, good foremen and weighers, but when It coinifi to direct handling of tho raw fllnments they yield the palm. You may havo seen very smart, Intelligent people try to mako tho slip knot In tatting and fall, nnd somo such Inexplicable slelght-nf-hand Is requisite for tho worker In raw silk. 'Now, In silk conditioning or assaying not only this proper feel of tho lingers Is needed, but tho proper Judgment nnd nicety of calculation. If I let my drying silk scorch, for Instance, or If I don't boll the gum out of It thoroughly, and If I err even so much ns u denier or a gram in computing my weights there's a peck of trouble. Tho value of the whole bale of silk Is reckoned from tho conditioned sample (that saniplo composed of threo parts drawn at random from tho bnlo) nnd the raw silk that travels nil the way from India, China or Japan Is worth something." A profemor who never graduated from any college is In charge of ttie raw silk condi tioning where the women work, a man who knows ovcry sort of ndultemnt or cheatcry ever practiced bv silk growers slnco tlmo was, and to whom manufacturers and Im porters nppeal with their porplexltlcs. Hut this director leaves the actual work of dis covering these admixtures to his lieutenants, fully assured of their reliability. Heforo tho hanks of yellow and white raw silk aro plumped Into the boilers to be "boiled off" they nre subjected to tho dcsslcatlng' ap paratus to determine the exact porecntago of moisture nbwrbed by the silk since tho worms spun It. Silk, like nil textile libers. contains a certain degree of moisture, but n balo of silk Is capable of holding from 1,1 to 25 per cent of water without showing a sign of It. The Oriental silk farmers always start to reel their silk from tho cocoons In tho be ginning of tbo rainy season. Tho Importors and manufacturers do not relish paying for water nt raw silk rates, nonce the condi tioning houses. After the moisture has been thoroughly expressed from tho hanks of silk J'lcy are put In little white bags .and boiled twice In a bath of boiling soapsuds, rinsed dried by hot air again and then put through thu other teats. Tho sceuo is quite domestic as tho women manipulate the dozens of sam ples', weighing them with tho accuracy that apothecaries uso in weighing out critical drups and managing overy operation with ex. tremo neotne?s becauro of the costly nature of tho goods, Tho women coiidltlonors also work In tho slilng room, where tho reeled silk threads Jure measured and their eveucojs ascertained. i:il CATION OK WOMKX. 1 Ste i When an R & Ci Corset is made, itf Is strcLhcd over a steam- heated, Iron form with a pressure of Goo pounds, that takes out every atom of " give " in the noods.

Sho said In part: "It Is a significant fact that the old paint ers nnd poets embodied their Ideals In femi nine form. Time was when every grovo and stream had its own nymph, nnd mythology gave us not only Venus and Juno, lut Tnllas Athene, tho divinity of wisdom, wilhino coming of Christianity tho virtues took their place ns womon Mercy and wisdom aim purity not only wero represented in femi nine form, but the moro masculine virtues.

Yet thero should be 110 dlllldence on the point, and ictlcenco on thu subject is hard to explain. Except for some reason connected with busi ness which iney find In accumulating years a handicap, a man Is usually very open about his ago nnd ns ready to proclaim It as his wlfo and sister nro to conceal theirs. Prob ably the feeling in the-mnttcr had Its origin In tho long ngo when matrimony was tho ordinary woman's only dcslrnulo goal, nnd when ns sho grew older hor chances of find ing a mato diminished perceptibly. Tho situation has so entirely changed and splnsterhood has become so inviting that we should expect to discover nil ulteratlou in tho mnnnera of women on this point and to find them qulto canllld ns to their claims to maturity or tho reverse.

President Hazard did not attempt any de tailed description of an Ideal curriculum for female education, but suggested that, sluco conservatism Is tho body of unwritten law- handed down to us from former generations, aud slnco woman 1b the natural defender of this conservatism, sho must be liberally trained lest conservatism degenerato Into obstinacy, as la oftim tho caso with tho un cultured.
