RS. LOU IB Marlon McCall of St.
Ixula Is energetically agitating
the Introduction of the social
aecretary Idea in the department
stores of her home cltjr and has
uhtcuiy enlisted the managers of several
big atores In the movement. The social
secretary as connected with the department
store Is a woman of tact and good J lodg
ment, who holds the Important position of
arbiter between the young women ar.d the
girls employed and the men In charge of
the departments.
"It very often happens." said Mrs. Mc
Call, "that difference of opinion arises be
tween the women employed and the floor
walkers, and the men. In their superior
fashion, not brooking any 'contradiction,
severe, but I make my patients smart,
even though I whip some of them through
their clothes."

Assaaltliisr Women Ideals.
rrof. William J. Armbruater of St. Louis,
chemist and mining engineer, has risen to
make a few remarks, comments the Phila

stirred the audience. The speaker did not
exactly plead for a new set of feminine
ideals, but demanded it. The prevailing

cultles that confront her at this psycholo

may be disastrous. The secretary, if ap
pealed to, could adjust the difficulties, and
the girl be saved much difficulty and
sorrow."
In the narrow sense In which the phrase
"social secretary" has come to be used.
Give a woman nothing to do and all the
money she wants to spend and she will go
to (designation here omitted) as fast as
she can. It seems strange to me
that wealthy women who can do not do
noble work they are In a position to do ,
for the good Of the world.

view may not be obvious, but It was used
first In the broader sense, and Mrs. McCall
favors the designation for the woman who
will not only look after the commercial 1
welfare of the women employed, but also
be a sort of "guide, philosopher and friend"
for them In the everyday life of the depart
ment store.
The Working; Girl at Nome.
Elisabeth Howard Westwood's second
article In Public Opinion deals with her
experiences In finding a home when she
"came to New York" with a capital of $10.
Having found the home, she tells how the
"silk gowned charity" appeals to the shop
girl. "One of the committee (of the girls'
home), whom we remembered dally in our .
prayers," she says, "sent the house an
Invitation to Join a working girls' club Just
being started at the parish house of her
church. , It met on one of my free nights,
and, decked out In the hat presented by
the Norwegian milliner and my one silk
waist, and accompanied by Alice, I at- 1
tended the first meeting. Several beauti
fully gowned young ladles, Mrs. Van Rens
salaer's daughter among them, flitted about
the room and made us 'feel at home.' The
methods tried on me were varied, sym
pathy for my hard life, curiosity about my
mode of existence, and gentle condescen
sion mingled with a forced effort to be
natural, were among the specimens. I
drank It In with glee until Mrs. Sydney
Jones called the meeting to order and
addressed us dear girls. She told the pur
pose of the club and outlined its plans.
Different ladles interested in bettering the
condition of the working girl had con
tributed generously in money, and dear
young ladles here this evening were giving
time from their social duties that the club
might be a success. The benefits all free
were illustrated lectures, sewing, cooking
and gymnasium classes. Would we do our
.share? Did weT I don't know, for at that
moment Alice bolted with a sniff of un
speakable scorn, end I waa forced to follow
suit.
" 'I don't want none of their charity,' said
Alice, when we gained the brightly lighted '
avenue. They can keep their' money and
get a new hat wltb It. I guess I earn my
living and can afford to pay for what I get
as well as they can.'
"But our club life was not to be cut off
at the start Louise, my pal at the store,
introduced us to the Junior section of the
Endeavor club of which she waa a member
and we spent such an evening as sent us
home with a re-established fuith In the Joy

A Professional Spanker.
It took genius to discover that there is a
place iu this complex world for a pro
fessional spanker. The discovery is a re
cent one, and the genius who Is profiting by
her Inspiration Is Miss Maude Kelly, an at
tractive, well-educated young woman of
Toronto, Canada. She sends out private
Circulars noUfying parents that she "cor
reels" children for a reasonable consider
ation, and is ready at all hours to visit
homes where her services are required.
Miss Kelly takes pride In her profession
and talks about It as if It were the most
natural thing in the world. Recently In an
Interview she talked of her experience and
her methoda.
"I waa formerly a teacher of gymnastic
exercises," she said. "One afternoon I vis
lied a friend of mine. Seeing she waa
greatly worried, I asked her what was the
matter and she told mo her son Harry Was
Incorrigible. I suggested a whipping. 'Oh,
I couldn't manage It,' she said. 'Ask his
father to do it, then,' I puraued. 'He is
away In New York,' she replied, 'and will
not be back for a week.' Evidently Harry
deserved punishment, and the situation de
manded that it be Indicted at once. I
knew the family very well, and I offered
my services as a friend. They were ac
cepted. Harry was a boy of 11, but I
took him Into the nursery and spanked
him very soundly.
"After that Harry's mother came to roe
frequently, and friends of here got to hear
of my kindly offices and asked me to act
for them. My income was small, extra
money would be useful, and I decided to
make a business of Juvenile correction.
"I never punish boys over II. Not that
I am afraid of them. I guess not! I
thrashed a brother of mine when he was
15, but the circumstances are different.
Houaseau'a 'Confessions' Illustrate the dan
gers of women chastising boys who are
neither big nor Utile. It ia my object to
act alwaya with propriety, and It la for
time, he drew the picture of want unre
lieved and subjects for research neglected.
"Do we," he asked, "hear a woman saying.
Thank heaven, I now have the time and
nieana to take up the study of sclencer "
We do not, but nevertheless women have
taken up such study, and with exclama
tory ado, and have achieved much. Where
the professor seems to err is that, although
he admits exceptions, he has based his
findings upon these exceptions. Woman is
not inclined toward the field wherein the
professor delves. She does not feel Inde
pendent nor desire Independence. She
takes her station cheerfully, performs Its
duties well and her place In the household
is as Important as the place of the man
who provides. As a rule the wife aids In
the practice of economy and gladly car
ries her share of the burden. The ex
tremely rich who have nothing to do but
seek pleasure constitute a small class, and
while through freaks and follies they ob
tain publicity, they remain a clasa apart,
and the real womanhood of the country
cannot in any fairness be Judged by them.
Women are keen as to every line of en
deavor open to them. More and more they
crowd into the higher schools, seeking the
basic knowledge to fit them for active ca
reers. Yet even the woman who succeeds
in such an ambition, a woman still, is ready
stories of earning the money. One woman
had ahampoed hair, another had baked
doughnuta, another had secured uewspaper
subscriptions, and so on. The chairman
turned to a handsome woman In the front
row.
" 'Now madam. It Is your turn,' said.

wered. " "Oho!' said he. 'From your husbandT
There was no hard work about that?'

Frills of Fashion.
This Is a great year for the separated
coat. The empire style haa the lead.
"The fashionable redina-ote haa been re
named the princess coat, under which title
' It is increasing in favor.
The corselet skirt with bretelles or shoul
der straps and no Jacket at all Is being
worn a treat deal for at home gowns.
Light material, voile, cashmere, henrletta.
eollenne and similar fabrics are usea.
The evening velvets are very charming
for they are thin and light and there Is
something about them which Is very attrac
tive. Velvet is always dressy, and since It
haa been reduced In price it Is certainly
very desirable.
When It comes to sleeves there are ways
that are "Just lovely," as the modistes will
tell you. One very pretty sleeve is cut off
Just above the elbow. Here It la finished
with a band of silk and a tulle ruffle one
finger wide. Upon the band of silk there
are silver clasps.
A charming empire coat of light brown
cloth has the waist outlined with a band
of the cloth tucked In very fine tucks
pressed fiat and Inset in the cloth of the
coat. The bands crossed In a surplice and
extended around the back of the waist.
The same bands trimmed the sleeves above
the wide, flaring cuff.
If you are' getting a handsome eveulngJ
dress you would do well to trim it in some
simple new way, for In this manner you
get certain distinguishing touches which
you could not otherwise obtain. There are
entirely new features In evening gowns
and these, If adapted to your new dress,
will make It very distinctive.
It Is becoming very fashionable to make
the evening ou of net, that old-fashioned
material. The net gown may be plain and
trimmed with flounces, or it can be a beau
tiful lace net with lovely lacey figures set
In it. Then there is a net upon which lace
Is applied and on each application of lace
there are lovely little Jeweled ornaments.
The use of mock gems upon evening
gowns Is very acceptable this year. All
are wearing them, and even the debutante
comes In for her share. It Is very good
form for her to wear turquoises, sapphires,
tourmalines, topaaos and garnets, but she
should not wear emeralds, diamonds or
rubies, these three being considered the
stones for matrons.

they give seems to Justify the expenditure.

others more elaborate and more becoming
are to be had.
