For and About the Women Folks
Mirror-Crowned Hats.
H"E National Milliners' convention.
I I which closed a succeseful aesslon
I In New York City last week.
decreed that women who would be
right In style must wear a, mirror-
LKin"U hat The order goes Into Im
mediate effect Mirror-crowned hats Is a
Parisian fad. It was born of necessity.
The mliTor la of extra flna quality, and la
sewed Inside the top of the crown. It
uses will be found to be manifold, but It
will come in most handy when a woman
hue her hat oft and wanta to fix her hair,
use her powder puff and arrange hot eye
browa before putting it on. With the
mirror aewed In the crown of her hat, any
woman may pretend to be arranging hor
hatpin or some other Incidental, when
really the la making an Important toilet.
The mirror will also be found useful
and handy In railroad trains, In crowded
dressing-rooms, at parks, on boats or
other excursions, when the wind Is likely
to play havoc with the feminine locks and
redden the feminine nose.
At the theater, If a woman wants to
see who that loud or mellow-voiced pcr
on sitting behind her Is, she need not
boldly turn and "rubber." With the new
mirror arrangement in her hat, she can
easily get the object of her curiosity In
the focus and satisfy herself without ap
pearing rude.
At church, the late-comers, who take
back seats, will be at the mercy of the
woman with a looking-glaRS In her hat.
Hhe can carefully scan the whole rear part
of the church and keep herself posted on
the late arrivals, at the same time keep
ing track of the telling point In the pastor's
Sunday morning effort.
The decision of the convention Is that the
popular fall shades for hats will be light
green and old rose, touched In with gold
and purple. The plum and dahlia colors
are the proposed new things for midwinter.
Lighter shades of pinkest dahlia, running
Into heliotrope and lighter shades of green,
will be for earlier fall.
Benefits of Women's Clubs.
"The announcement of plans for the
women's clubs for the season," says the
Baltimore American, "draws attention to
the firm establishment of this idea In mod
ern social life and the possibilities capable
of development from It. A great outcry
has been raised over women's clubs and
the dangers they are supposed to engender,
from the breaking up of the home to the
destruction of the nation, have been vividly,
not to say luridly set. forth. In private
speech and public print those opposed to
the entrance of women In public life In
any shape or form have Inveighed against
them, demanded their abolition and pre
dicted the direst results If these demands
were not complied with. The critics have
cried themselves hoarse, but the women's
clubs, with little of retort, have been
calmly pursuing the even tenor of their
way and are stronger now than ever.
"As a matter of fact, the woman's club
Is now to be found In almost every town
and village of any pretension to progress
and Is becoming a force In modern life.
Women have not been blind to the great
tfowe-r of the day organization nor to
the benefit of mutual friction on minds,
and many of the real reforms of the hour
have sprung originally from the women's
clubs. So far from wrecking the home,
they have proved beneficial by supplying
the broadening and stimulating influence
which women so much need In their fives
and to the lack of which may Justly be
ascribed much of the prejudice and aprrotr
views which the very critics' of this Broad-

enlng movement are quick to blame In
women.
"The great gain of this movement Is
best seen In the convention of national or
state federations, when the number and
variety of clubs are apt to astonish those
who have taken no particular note of the
progress made In the past years In this
direction. The woman's club is, as a rule,
a working club of aome kind; It la usual
ly literary or philanthropic, and la rarely
purely for pleasure or social purposes.
Many women find In these clubs an outlet
for energies which singly they would
scarcely know how to turn to account.
Others see In them opportunities for self
culture and for mental stimulation, ao mo
ttling sensible women appreciate, that
they must seek If thoy would not de
generate Into a state of stagnation In a
dally round of purely domestlo duties.
Cut whatever direction they take. It Is
found by the observing that all the cluh
roads lead directly or Indirectly . to the
home woman's natural world.
"The main object of their work Is to
benefit either the home or their own sex.
State and police records could bear wlt
nessto the Immense good being done in
various ways by Influential bodies of
women, and to the weight they have had
In the shaping of legislation bearing on
the remedy of crying social evils and on
Justice In personal and property rights.
It may have been noticed, too, aa char
acteristic, that while the advocates of
equal suffrage have not hesitated to selxe
upon the opportunities of the club, that
the majority cf women's clubs are either
neutral or openly opposed to feminine
suffrage. Their work Is done In the ways
recognized by the conventions of the
times as being strictly womanly, and aa
jet. satisfied with the vast Influence they
wield, they have made no pretensions to
power. Aa a matter of fact, the modern
clubwoman has come to stay, and it Is
more than likely that if the ultra-conservative
could succeed in banishing her
the world would very soon miss her and
her work.
I'roio School to Fnrm.
From graduating class to a corn culti
vator and a pickle patch Is the experience
of Miss Lona Dare of Walkerton, Ind.,
who is able to net $50 an acre from hor
work, and she Is only 14 years old.
Lona Intro is well named, for she ven
tures to accomplish things at which not
only other girls but men, have failed. Last
year this girl and a man had adjoining
five-acre patches of corn. The weeds got
ahead, and stayed ahead, of the man, but
the girl husked forty bushels to the acre
as the result of her work.
Thle year 9. F. Pare, the father, had
planned to rent the land to a man, but the
man threw up the chance. Then Pare told
his daugter that he would break up the
ground for her, and she could do the rest.
The corn waa planted about the 1st of
June and Is growing well. There Is scircely
a weed In the tract. The girl has worked
It twice, and la about to go at It for the
third time.
This year Lona Dare finished up the
eighth grade In the Walkerton school, came
driving home In her white dress with her
diploma and graduating presents, only to
make a quick transition. She was out of
her tulle and Into her gingham cultivating
uniform In less time than It takes to write
It, and, although one of the most studious
end punctual girls of the class, she was
happier for the change. .
The father and mother of this girl agri
culturist say their child takes to such work
from a natural Inclination, from which
they have been unable to attract her. She
has srnwn a fondness for horses from the
time she has been able to' get near an ani
mal of the kind, and now she Is able to
ride or drive any that may be bridled.
Last year Miss Dare had undor her own
cultivation Ave acres of corn, one acre of
cucumbers and one acre of potatoes. This
year she made her own contract with the
pickle contractor, planted two acres, a half
acre of potatoes and la now working five
acres of corn.
The girl has good Ideas about the tilling
of soil. She noticed that an adjoining far
mer was using a cultivator with larger
shovels than the Implement which she was
making Tise of. She borrowed a big shov
elled plow from her grandfather, and, be
fore her father knew what she was about,
she had It In her field and was throwing
a liberal measure of soft earth about the
roots of her plants, and taking out the
weeds from a depth that completely killed
them.
Relieves Women of Care.
An ambitious plan to relieve Women of
the cares of housekeeping Is to be tried
In New York City. The Woman's Na
tional Household alliance is the name of
the company that undertakes to relieve
housekeepers of their burdens. The pros

'The object of the alliance," It declares,
"Is to foster the Interest of all who employ
women or men of any capacity, whether In

NO. 6314-TWO PRETTY COAT SLEEVES.
Many a last seasons coat would be like
new if the sleeves were not small and out-of-date.
There is no par of the garment
which shows the style so, mucji as the
sleeves and the woman who la ambitious
with her needle, may easily remedy this
fault. The first sleeve Is tor a dreaay coat
In the popular three-quarter length and is
aurprlslngly pretty when developed. The
elbow glovea should be worn with thle and
harmonize in color. The aecond aleeve la
the plain coat aleeve with the tiny tucks
extending up from the cuff aa lta only
adornment. A pretty shaped cult appears
at the wrist as a neat finish to the aleeve.
All sizes.
NO. 4667-A PRETTY FROCK.
We give here a suggestion for a small
gown of striped madras with yoke of all
over lace or embroidery and a full ruffle
of embroidery completing the yoke. The
neck is cut In a Dutch square, and the
sleeves are a short pun. The blouse Is
gathered In a long-waisted effect to a nar
row belt which Is finished neatly so that
the sash may be omitted If desired. The
short puff sleeve is finished with a narrow
band of insertion to match the yoke. The
round gathered skirt Is adorned with three
tucks Just above the deep hem. but these
may be omitted and hands of insertion
or a ruffle of -embroidery be substltued.
This pattern, number 4067 is in sites 3
to years.
NO. O0S-A LOVELT BLOUSE DESIGN.
This blouse model Is simple la construc
tion and admirably adapted to hand em

extending over the shoulder adds breadth
to the shoulder and taper to the watvt. A
second tuck at each side of tha front glvee

beourulng to moat figures. A atrip ot Mex
ican drawn work might be aet In the center
of the front or wheela of the dainty Tener

might serve as adornment or a design In
the atuffed embroidery.
Rajah or pongee will prove pleasing, as
would swl) silk or taffetas.

NO. sJM-A PRF-TTY SHIRRED WAIhT.
Nothing brings out the lights and ahad
owa In our exquisite materials so effec
tively as the popular mode of shirring. It
Is argued that this method of fashioning
bodices Is likely to be unbecoming to inj
ures not of alunder lines. But the accom
panying design provea the contrary. The
bodice and aleevea are ahirred In vertical
lints, the ahlrringa being marked with
Straight, narrow pipings. These gle
lengthening lines to the figure and prevent
any bungling or pouchey effects. These
lines of shirring form a V in back, thus
adding to the slender appearance. Loula
ine. mescaline, mousseline de sole or radla
would serve to excellent advantage In this
model and any ot the soft, thin wools mlgnt
be used as well. A moderately deep girdle
should be worn with the blouse, as It adds
to the trig appearance of the figure,

"It Is the purpose of the alliance to ad
vance the Interests of pure foods, rational
cooking and economical buying and mar
keting of products made by women In the
home. A plan to take care of the family
mending for a weekly foe or to furnish
women to darn and mend by the day has
been received with general enthusiasm, as
has a schema to relieve householders of
the lrksomeness of marketing and the
monu problem.
"For a small weekly fee women may hnre
tholr housekeeping done for them when
this department Is perfected. After the
menu has been submitted for spprobatlon
and correction the alliance hopes to ar
range for a discount to be given by mem
bers so they will not only be relieved of
the actual marketing, but will get a better
cuisine for the accustomed dally outlay."
The alliance proposes to open branches
In all the leading cities of America. The
fee for membership is 12 a year, and a
magazine will be given free for one year.
A member engaging servants by the
month will be charged $1 for each class of
servant applied for in one month. Tho
alliance declares that It has a unique sys
tem for thoroughly Investigating the char
acters and references of servants. 1
"I have formed an organization," said
the manager, "whereby women may bo
relieved from all kinds of domestlo and
social cares. We will do her shopping
for her; given her price and locality de
sired, we will do her house hunting; we
clean, furnish, move and settle her be
longings If desired. We will take care
of her mending In another department,
provide her with tho best servants to be
obtained in another, take entire charge
of social functions, decorate her table
and home and provide whatever service Is

"The alliance Is to be owned and man
aged by the women of America. There Is
no stock for sale, and none can be ac
quired except through co-operation. Every
woman who sends up 100 members is given
a Bhare of stock, and every working man
or working woman who sends us 100 work

after becoming members is also given a
share of stock. In this way we hope to
have the alliance an alliance of employers
and employes, both of whom will have the
interests of the alliance and Its standard
of service at heart."

Woman Electrical Contractor.
One little woman in Syracuse, N. Y.,
wasted no time in search for the aesthetic
when she wanted a life business. Rose B.
Richardson is her name, spinster in state.
She Is the only electrical contractor In
petticoats in the United States any where
In tho world, it may be. Miss Richard
son enjoys her work, though It Isn't one
of the prettiest occupations, "frn In the
business because I like It," she says. "I
was the first telephone operator In Syra
cuse, and always had a liking for things
relating to electricity. My brother-in-law
wished me to go Into the contracting busi
ness with him and I consented. He died
three years ago, and since then I have run
It alone. Several contractors have tried
to get me to take them as partners, but I
prefer to have It ail to myself. Some per
sons hesitate about employing a woman
to do their work for them, aa they fear
she could not make her workmen attend
to their duties, but I have no trouble that
way. I always personally inspect all the
contracts I have after the men have fin
ished. In that way I keep up a high stand
ard." Miss Richardson Is still young and
Is regarded by her acquaintances as one of
the handsomest women In Syracuse,
Fussy Mothers.
"Across the aisle from me," aays a writer
In the Boston Herald, "sat one ot the
'fussy' kind of mothers with her little girl.
The mother didn't leave the child in peace
for an instant. She took off her hat; she
smoothed her hair; she repinned her col
lar; she wiped her face with a pocket hand
kerchief; she took her from the seat and
stood her on the floor to straighten her
frock; she took off her hair ribbons and re
tied It; then she began at the beginning
and did all of these things over again. The
child grimly endured It. Evidently she had
been accustomed to It all her short life.
"The energetic attentions of mothers to
their children are certainly exhausting.
Some mothers have an Idea that children
have no means of locomotion; that to get
them on or off a car you must half drag,
half carry them. In a strret car the child
Is given credit for no notion of what a
seat is like. It is not to be trusted to take
one, but must be violently pushed, thrust
and assaulted Into It. It is the same In
church. Did you ever see a well-dressed
mother come Into church late with three
or four children? It Is a staggering blow to
one's belief in reason to see her operate.
But It Is In the public park, where children
are supposed to run free, that the fussy
mother achieves her final mastery of the
situation. You would wonder how she can
prevent, without apoplexy setting In, two
children from having a good time; but she
does It, and she drags them back to the
flat perfectly miserable but with frocks
void of soil. This appears to be a desidera
tum, esjieclully with female children. Its
stircessful accomplishment Is generally ad
mitted to be a sign of gonitis In the mother.
"The unhappy thing about It Is that every
push, shove, shout and command to the
child brings It nearer the nervous condi
tion of the mother, which Is already worse
than death. The sanatorlums are yawning
for children whose mothers have brought
them up with extreme care."
Frills of Vnthlon.
Hints of black coming strongly to the fore
for fall and winter suits are becoming more
definite each d;iv. Black broadcloth suits
are the most evident form of It as yet.
If Klons sre becoming to you, anil you
can wear the loose fronts, you can select a
very pretty cont in toe little Eton cut in
circular i, loose from the nei k and fin
ished prettily.
Ribbon ruffles on petticoats, although
rattier expensive, give a splendid service.
Some of the ribbon sales give opportunity
to rid them of that one objectionable fea
turetheir greater cost than slik.
Velvet ribbons are being worn with white
blouses and white limn Hkuts. and with
lingerie blouses and white woolen skirts.
Tur-iuolse blue is Itrtit in favor, but white
Velvet Is woin a great dual and the lighter
shades of violet.
Now that the cool days of autumn are
coming there will be- a desire to wear the
long linen coals that so many young so
ciety women had made early In the sea
son, with no opportunity for wear; but
as a general thin; that does not add to the
prettlntHS of a gown.
Olnll corsets haven't lost a bit of their
popularity. They're the most comfortable
corsets of all for a slender figure. The

rrettlest llttie new ones have come out,
mnde of white ribbon satin, or a dull silk
with tiny, shining dots thrown to the sur
face In some mysterious way in the weave.
Some of these ties are embroidered as
though a single great flower formed each
end; and some look, when tied, as though
the butterfly at eai-h end were poised there.
A few, of heavy linen, have broderle An
glalse ends; and a very few are of handker
chief linen or a sort of mulle. But these
last are too soft to carry out the tailor
made Idea.
Audacious llttie wltiRS set on each Bide of a
small turban formed of tiny pllsse frills of
niallnes in many shades of fruit red form
the only trimming of the model, and the
other turbnns with straight boxed brim and
flat crown, usually contrasting with the
brims In color, are trimmed with a Blngle
ostrich tip rising from a chou or ornament
at the left front, or with quills, wings or
some deftly fashioned chou or cockade.
Very handsome full suits are being made
up from the new kinds of cloth and when
selecting a cloth you have certainly a wide
range from which to select. Vou can get the
smooth and elegant broadcloth, the glossy
face cloth or the dull cloth which comes now
for fBll suitings. No matter which you get
you will be in style, for all three are very
fashionable. This does not take any account
of the great army of checks and plaids and
rough goods.

Btatistlca for the Southern preabytarlan
church, which have Just been compiled
show that the aoulhera body had. last
year, a larger p."01 ' rowtu than
did the northern Presbyterian, the latter
iiaviiig bad s net iuoveaae of a trifle wider
i per cent, while the southern church
figures show a gain of almost I per cent.
The present southern Presbyterian mem
bership Is 246,769. The flgurea also show
an advance In contributions for mission
purposes, home missions receiving $183,001),
or $53.rXt more than the previous year,
and foreign mission receipts advancing
from $189,1X10 to $211. 0T). There was re
ported, however, a falling off In contribu
tions for education and for "colored" evan
gelization. Lutheran young people throughout the
country are making plans for the celebra
tion of the tenth anniversary of the or
ganization of a national I. other league.
The anniversary date Is October 31. and no
large meeting Is projected for the observ
ance, but local and district leagues are
to make especial effort to center Interest on
the date, holding meetings with appro
priate programs, and using the occasion
to emphasize locally the excellent woi Ic
which haa been done, und that which re
mains to be done by the young people of
this religious body. The Luther league.
hs a national organization, was born In
Pittsburg, in 1814, at a meeting to which
"Luther societies of whatever name, or
however svnodlcallv related." had been In
vited The resulting organisation con
tained representatives from all parts of
tho United Statea and the different Luth
eran synods. A great work of the Luther
league In the ten years has been the Im
petus It has given nilaslon and church ex
tension effort.
