Lingerie Waists No More a Necessity
T
HE separate blouse, maligned
but Indispensable, has one
mors given the tie to those
fashion authorities who Insist
that It la outside the pale of
the new modes. The airk waist
of earlier rears, worn with a skirt to which
!t has no intimate relation and taking the
place of bodice and skirt enstame. has In
deed tost all claim to modlshnees. but so
long as coat and skirt costumes retain their
vogue so long separate blouses will be
needed to accompany them, and thouKh the
blouse Is smatest when It Is obviously an
Integral part of the coetuma this la not
an absolute necessity.
The fine lingerie blouse we have alwaye
with os. and In Its handsome phases It is
today as much a feature of a cold weather
wardrobe as of a summer outfit; but many
women dislike lingerie blouses after the
first crisp cold days arrive, and for them
the designers have this season produced an
unusual supply of models darker, less easily
oiled, but not always much warmer than
tha sheer creations In embroidered lingerie
and lace.
There are innovations In the province
of the ready made blouse this season. Here
tofore It has been possible to buy white
blouses of silk, satin, crepe, chiffon or lace
lit almost any degree of elegance, but the
dark blouse has usually been of the simplest
ort. clinging to shirt waist tines or depart
ing from them with unsatisfactory results.
The woman who wanted a truly smart
dark blouse for wear with a trotting frock
waa obliged to have It made, and even then
often failed to achieve the desired results.
For soma time past the heavy durable
chiffon known as chiffon cloth has ben first
favorite for the costume blouse, being sheer
enough for comfort In our overheated
buildings, offering possibilities of da'nflness
and dressiness, yet practical fnr alt that
Dyed nets and laces also claimed attention
as blouse materials and after them came
the soft silks and crepes.
This fall blouse makers who supply the
ready made models have been Inspired to
offer to their trade Mouses of chiffon cloth,
thin voile, net and lace In dark colors
blues, browns, green, black-made after
the fashion of the lingerie blouses, wlthnnt
bones or fitted lining. The sheer dark
tuff, or In some Instances a sheer India
silk, affords all the comfort of the tin
lined lingerie blouse while echoing the color
of the costume and looking -warmer than
the blouse of batiste or mull.
Tha smartest of these dark little blouses
are simply made, but relieved by becom
ing a-ulmpea of creamy lace or batiste and
a cleverly designed gulmpe, cravat or
collar will give cachet to the plainest of
softly plaited models. Tiny bands of em
broidered silk, fancy braid or aoutachlng
ornameni some of the blouses, but the dan
ger of cheapening by over elaboration la
threatening here as In . all ready made
garments, and It Is far better to have a
fine lacs or daintily tucked net for gulmpe
with some chic little cravat or Jabot ar
rangement to lend originality and to leave
the rest of tha blouse simple of line and un
trimmed than to attempt an elaboration of
a cheap sort.
For handsome 'blouses as well as for the
simple models chiffon cloth is k favorite
material and r.eta, especially the fllet nets
embroidered by hand and dyed to match
the costume, are considered extremely
smart. Embroidered nets and laces, dyed
or In natural tone, trim many of the
chiffon, crepe and satin, blouse and hand
embroidery upon satin, silk or velvet la
another popular trimming, a Is fine
soutache embroidery done by hand directly
upon the chiffon.
Upon the gulmpe much dainty hand,
work is often bestowed, though the gulmpe,
of the chlo blouse Is usually a very shallow
affair, save directly In front, where It runs
down In V or U fashion, ths round yoke
form of gulmpe having lost casts.

HIRER STLK FLOrSFTS. TWO OF BtJVCK TAFFKTA AND ONH OP CREAM
s F.Ml.l R. A BLOUSE OF WHITE CHIFFON AND ONE OF BROWN NET AND
VELVET. I
Collars are fitted close and very high at
sides and back, curving down to a com
fortable line under the chin and upon the
proper fitting, and shaping of the collar
will depend much of the smartness of the
blo-ise. In order that the high side and
back effect generally becoming and alto
gether myrclful to the woman whose
throat and chin have lost the youthful
curves may be secured the collar Is most
often made from some One lace or net and
finished at the top by a band or edge. In
stead of being made from lace with a
straight edge; and since a collar and
gulmpe cut from sheer material and meet
ing In a seam at the base of the throat are
not lovely a tiny narrow cravat or band
encircling the neck, covering the seam
and finishing In front with a chio little
bow, is very frequently used.
Tiny pendant tassels or balls may dangle
from the ends of the minute bow, or per
haps in place of a cravat a soft, small cord
Is drawn around the collar and knotted In
front. Often no trimming goes round the
collar, but very small bows are aet down
the gulmpe front from top to bottom, or
a bow and Jabot of lace adorns the front
Narrow lace insertions aet together with
open work stltchery are cleverly fashioned
Into gulmpea and collars, and where an
allover net or lace to suit can be secured
dressmakers obtain good results by ualng
an Insertion wide enough to meet the de
mands of the deepest point In the collar.
One band of this insertion shaped at the
top will make the collar and the gulmpe
may be formed by setting bands of the
Insertion together with open stitch and
using them vertically. When the lace la
aet together with gold or silver thread and
a fold of gold or silver tissue set at the top
of ths cellar one has an excellent effect.
The picturesque Japanese sleeves and
arm hole draping have Influenced the de
signers of blouses, and some of ths pretti
est models offered show this Influence; but
If the blouse is fof wear under an ordinary
coat sleeve It is a mistake to yield to the
temptations of these charming blouse
models. They are practical only .when
the coat aleeve, too, la looae and ampl,
and under other conditlona It la wiser to
have the blouse armhole of conventional
size, though the drapery of the blouae,
shoulder and aide, may give soma sug
gestion of a draped aleeve.
The attractive chiffon blouse reproduced
among the aketchea had a klnono sleeve;
but being of cream chiffon, saltq and lace,
was intended for dressy wear and would
probably be used under a coat of large
armholes. The handling of the fulness
while not complicated la very effective and
graceful and the model Is one of the pretti
est we have seen among the blouses of
moderate price.
The other blouses pictured here are, with
one exception, of atlk. but are emphatically
modish and might be readily copied In col
oring to match any costume. One, hail
ing .from a Parisian maker, waa formed of
bands of taffeta Interwoven and showing
glimpsea of lighter toned chiffon In tha
Interstices. .
All the details of the model were excel
lent and the eame may be said of the other
French blouse la black silk and a striped
silk of exquisitely blended Roman coloring.
In this latter model the collar and chemi
sette are ef yellowish batiste and narrow
lace of the same tone.
Tallowed batiste figures, too, as the
gulmpe me'erlal of t. blouse of soft lus
trous chiffon faille, under sleevea and tie
being, like the gulmpe, made of finest hand
tucked batiste and Valenciennes, while the
little turn down collar la of the batiste
heavily hand embroidered after the manner
of the broderie anclenna now so greatly
prlied.
This blouse Is proving one of the most
popular models In a shop famous for such
things, and la decidedly serviceable, since
the faille body wears well and does not
crush, and the lingerie part of the blouse
can be removed and cleaned. The model
from which the sketch was made chanced
to be all white, but Is has been copied In
black and color with unequivocal success.
Leaves from Fashloa'a Notebook.
The tow-necked atlk Japanese Jumper
waist, cut square. Is made to do duty
wlib one s old lace waists, one's old silk
waist, and ons's waists of linen and even
of cotton.
There are many rw belt and buckle de
signs, but there always are. The best
usually ma'clea the gown color or har
monises with It. and the buckles are oddly
alieped, and If they are grotesque In de
sign so much the better.
The newest tie Is Uie knitted one. Some
fears ago we were all kept busy manu
auturlng these for our brothers and
awweiiivarts; now we have appropriated
them to ourselves. They are four Inches
wiue ana ol llie proper length for a con
ventional four-in-hand. Naturally, they
are to be worn strictly with tailored shirt
waists. White linen waists are worn this winter
as vests to the silk and velvet blouses.
And In this connection It may be men
tioned that one's old waists may profitably
be impressed into the service, no matter
what the material or how worn out the
waist may bo, providing the yoke remains.
The waist can be worn In such a way
that It doea duty as a guimpe. yoke or
vest. There Is no limit to the number of
old waists that one can wear In this man
ner. An economical makeshift Is ths making
of a dark silk Jumper waist with Japanese
armholes to match one'e old dark silk
or dark cloth skirt. The Jumper Is low
In the neck and short In the sleeves. If
one would make It very up-to-date one
can cut It with a very large arm hole
and the exaggerated Japanese sleeve, al-
, most a yard wide and very short, to re
semble a cape In Its outline. The waist
must be very well fitted under the arms
and- must be brought Into the waist line
in neat rasnion, to be worn with a wide
silk girdle.
The tailor-made shirt waists come In
three or four materials. There are. ths
winter pongeea, which come In all colore.
Then there are the silk walsta. which are
by far the most numeroua ef all the
tailor-mades, and there are the wool checks
and the waists that are made of material
which Is a combination of silk and wool.
In ths street dresses there Is a tendency
toward the three-color combination. And
the prettiest of the winter woolen goods
are In plaids or stripes that show the
three-color tone. One of the most popular
stripes Is a combination of blue, gray and
brown. But the colors are eo deep that
one might almost call them invisible. They
are not noticeable a short distance away,
and the. material has the appearance of
an even dark tone.
An or'trinal mii-nre evolved bv one of
the stage hairdressers la finding great
favor. 'J he hair Is divided across the top
of the head, and the front portion again
divided Into three parts: a roll is laid over
the top and securely fastened, then each
of the three strands Is brought over the
roll, pinned, and the end rolled Into a curl
about two Inches long and not very large.
This Is turned sldewlse and fastened; then
the next strand, and the third In like man
ner. By this arrangement a snace la left
between each of the strands, and the curls
are set In this. The back hair is caught
up In the same way. and the result la a
coronet effect formed of the curls sepa
rated with the strands of smooth or waved
locks. For evening dress this coiffure Is
exceptionally pretty, a hair ornament or a
bow of velvet ribbon being set In at one
of the Intersections.

Activities and Views of Progressive Women in Various Walks of Life
Trlwmpk of Women -"L,mwyers.
N extended list of the women
A I lawyera of tha United States,
I compiled by tha New York Sun,
thousand In tha profession. It
ia twenty-eight years since
Belva Lockwood mads ber famous Agrht
for tha admission of women to practice
before tha federal supreme court, and,
strangely enough, just twenty-eight women
have been admitted to practice, the last
being Miss Ida M. Moyers, of Washing
ton, who was admitted laat April,
Geographically these women are widely
scattered. Blx hall from Washington: Illi
nois and Wisconsin have four each, Ne
braska, three; Pennsylvania, Massachu
setts and California, two; and Arlxona.
Connecticut, ' Missouri, New Jersey and
Montana, one each.
About one-half of them have personally
appeared before tha supreme court to
cases. Mra. Lockwood has appeared more
than a thousand times. Mra Marllla M.
Kicker has probably been In the supreme
court oftener than any other woman, with
the exception of Mrs. Lockwood.
Hera are aome rather Interesting points
about Uieso twenty-eight women: Mrs.
McCulloch is the only woman Justice of
the peace. Mrs. Gordon was the first to
make a publlo speech for woman suffrage
und tha first to own and edit a dally news
paper. J
Mrs. Rlcker Is said to be the only woman
who ever aat on the bench with the Lord
Chief Justice of England. Miss King la
tha only woman patent attorney. Mrs.
Musaey Is Uie only woman dean of a law
college.
The Bret woman to practice law In this
country was Margaret Brent. Lord Bal
timore, then governor of Maryland, asked
the legislature that she be appointed exec
utor of her relatives' estate. One of the
learned members aald that It waa better
that the estate be lost than a woman ap
pear to make an argument before them,
Margaret Brent, however, won her case.
And yet a few years after tbe civil war,
when Mrs. Carrie B. Kllgore applied for
admission to the law department of the
University of Pennsylvania, she was told
by the then dean that "when niggers and
women are admitted to the law school"
he would resign. Mrs. Kllgore herself
related this incident to the writer.
It Is largely through the efforts of these
twenty-eight women that married women
throughout the country have the guardian
ship of their children equally with the
father and enjoy the right of money
earned by them; and women in general
have been admitted to law colleges, to
membership) in school boards and to suf
frage In many states through the hard
work of these twenty-eight representative
lawyers.
Portraits of fifteen of the twenty-eight
accompany the Sun's article, and aUo
these brief biographies of western women
lawyers:

'"Some of the Aneet women that grow on
this earth are to be found In Rle Janeiro."
remarked Antonio R. Crabra. a merchant
of tbe alt, ete4 by Ike Washington
Post Senor Seabra la wealthy, and spends
much of his time between his home city
and Paris. He Is now here with A. M.
Campos to study conditions In tha United
Statea
"The women In Rio are both beautiful
'and vivacious," he continue. "They are
decidedly attractive In every way, and the
fact that there are about 0)0.000 less ef
them than men In a total population of
more than a million makes them all the
more sought after. When there la so much
competition among the men to win the
women ths men strive harder for aucooaa
and aeek to make themaelvea more attrac
tive. While our women are as vivacious
as the Spanish women, their manner la
more gentle. They have the wit of the
French women and are at the same time
more constant. Family life among us Is
very delightful.
"The disproportion between the sexes is
so great that I think It would be a good
thing to Import say 108.000 women from
Boston, where there are many more women
than men, and where, therefore, there are
many old maids. Our soft, salubrious cli
mate might serve to remind the Intellectual
daughters of Boston that they have hearts

"I know of no plaee outside Europe
where life is so enjoyable aa In Rio do
Janeiro. It Is more like Paris than any
other place I know. Many theaters, which
give the finest operatlo productions, cafes
and other places of amusement are to be
found on every hand. Our Ideas of suc
cess are quite different than In the United
States, where a man throws his life away
In order to amass a few more millions,
even after he has gained several already.
"In Brazil, when a maa has mado a
fortune of perhaps half a million dollars
he lays aside the cares of buainesa, re
algns the chief place te the man next to
him In authority and glvea up the re
mainder ef hla days to culture and refined
enjoyment Tou Americans would do well
to cultivate a little more of that spirit"
Girls, Here's at Wonder.
The ideal huaband haa been found en a
farm near Atchison, Kan. although, un
fortunately, he la not yet a husband. This
estimable young man la H. C. Roloff. who
Uvea with hla father, doea tha housework,
cooks and la otherwise useful. It Is to his
credit that he haa never kissed a girl and
never taken one "buggy riding." which
probably explains his un-Kansas deficiency
In the matter of osculation. Nor has he
ever been to a ball game or a theater er
a church. And aa for hla morale, they are
exemplary; his strongest, drink Is cistern
water; hla bed time I SO p. m.
Toung Mr. Roloff haa Just been Inter
viewed by the Atchison Globe on ths do
mestic question. He aald:
"I have alwajs dona all tha baking, wash
ing. Ironing, mending, churning, scrubbing,
etc, and while I would much rather some
one else would do It, I claim that when It
cornea to baking bread I can make many
of ths girls I know take a back seat I am
a bachelor, all right but you will not find
our place strewn with tin cans and broken
dishes and the stock half starved. Now, I
differ somewhat from ths ordinary bachelor
farmer In that I never work la the field
Saturday afternoons, keeping this for
bouse cleaning and gettlrg ready for Sun
day, W easing aad troalug are not bard
work, since there are no women's clothes
In the wash. Putting a patch on overalls
or a work shirt Is not much of a trick, and
you will seldom see father or me going
around with buttona missing from our
clothing, or using sticks or nails to hold up
our auspendera I scrub the kitchen floor
every Saturday, unless it Is during harvest
and always manage to keep my stove
blacked.
"Several times In the last few months I
have been compelled to bake bread during
the night, stirring It at bedtime, working
It at midnight, putting It In pans at t o'clock
and baking at 4 a. m. I set the alarm at
these hours, and sleep between times. No
body can say they ever saw dirty dishes
standing on the table. I wash every dish
after every meal and always sweep just
after dinner."
With all these household duties one might
think, that the work of earning a livelihood
would have to be abandoned; but evidently
not so, for this wonderful young man ended
hla Interview by aaytng:

The multiplication of bakeries on every
hand bear evidence to the fact that a
large number of families depend upon ba
ker's bread. With all due respect to the
baker who turna out the ataff of life al
most aa good as "mother made," the privi

which the housewife should relinquish.
There la no reason why breadmaklng
should be regarded as an Irksome task,
but It la the betenolr ef many a woman

Is another Invention a cakemaker. Why
should I use valuable minutes of time
creaming butter and sugar by band or
with a spoon, which, by the way, never
was half aa satisfactory, when I can whip
It Into the proper consistency by turning
this handle?
"I used to put ths batter In ths bowl
and stir and stir until I felt like perpetual
motion. But I don't do It now. I put
the batter in this shallow pan and tarn
ths handle; It beats tt rapidly, aa there
are five revolutions ef the aalxlng Biers at

every cook knows that good cake dependa
largely upon a t borough Dealing of the
