l!,l,T convinced that a good
Fl thin cannot be overdone, the
I Woman i Trails Union league,
in 'mon in v. niraao recently,
adopted a system of Krantlng
"marrlaee dowries" tr mmbri.
aystem la regarded aa a deMrable In-
itive to unionism. Individually and cnl
tlvely, hence a lovely promoter of the
" Jt h not yn been reduced to de-
nut the principle la to make tha

bride-to-be haa been a member,
or the benefit of "splnaters" and those
o for reasons of their own msr choose
remain single, an amendment wss added
to the plan providing for the payment of
"vacation dowers" to them. In lieu of the
"marriage dowries" they would have re
ceived In the event they had entered the
tate of conjugal bliss.
The proposition came twfore the conven
tion In the ahape of a report of the com
mittee on organisation, reed by Mine Rose
fichneldcrmann of New York. Tt wat shown
that Inducements along similar lines have
been tried smons; wnrk'n women In Eng
lard and, according to Miss Mary R. Macar
thur of London, the scheme has proved a
great success there.
The national executive board was au
thorised to work out the plan on tha basis
of a graded scale and put It Into operation
as soon as possible. It In likely that special
funds will be put aside for the purpose and
each member credited with $10 a year to
pply to either the marriage dowry or tha
vacation benefit.
In ten years tha girls who decided to
marry would ba entitled to $100, and a slm
liar sum would go to spinsters as a vaca
tion benefjt.
"Of course, we have not decided how
much the amounts will be," said Mrs.
Raymond Robins, national president of tha
league. "That Is a matter to be worked
out by the executive board. We believe,
however, that whatever la derided upon,
the schema will be an Inducement to unor
ganised working girls- to Join labor unions."
Originally the plan was drafted to apply
only to girls who decided to marry. Miss
Emma Steghagen, secretary of tha Chicago
league, declared, however, that "we old
maids heard about tha discrimination and
we kicked up a fuss."
"Tnre are soma of us who don't expect
to man and we objected to letting all the
good things go to other girls. It was a
plain case of unjust discrimination.
"As the proposition stands now we all
have a chance to enjoy tha bounty of the
organisation. As a matter of fact, who are
more entitled to a benefit after years of
service In the unions than tha -old maids?"
"Cheer I'p."
That little red and white desk motto la
the sign and seal of the newest girls' club
of New York. It la the Society of Good
Cheer, which has Just received Its certifi
cate of Incorporation from Supreme Court
Justice Amend. At present Its member,
ship consists of fifteen young women of
the Upper West Side, but it Is to be only
the tiny seed of a huge national organisa
tion,, according to plani of Mlsa Theora
Carter, Its founder.
Miss Carter, who haa only recently come
to this city, described those plans.
"The society Isn't a money charity," she
eald; "lfa a time charity. The girls who
Join It pledge themselves to give as much
time aa may be required of them to visit

all who are unfortunate and helpless.

and other who keep In close touch with
hospital work.
"You see I waa sick myself not long
ago, out In Chicago. And I happened to
be all alone In the city. And then I found
out the utter dreariness ofi a friendless
convalescence.
"And so-I just thought I'd like to help
some other people out of their woes.
That's how I happened to organise this
elub. It's a small beginning, of course,
but I plan later to organise branches ef
the society all over the country, particu
larly in all the big cities."

Battonteaa Dress.
Miss Oeraldlne Farrar, the aweet singer,
returned from Europe the other day, ac
cording to a dispatch from New York,
clad In a buttonlena one-piece gown that
was. a marvel to behold.
if chief recommendations, Its buttonless
neei, is enough for us to speak about at

relief from one of the most painful of
their duties.

not had the sad experience of being called

little buttons and buttonholes, that mar
riage was a hollow mockery? We doubt it
Is there a bachelor whose ardor has not
been tempered, if not cooled, 'at one time
or another by the sight of that appalling
row of little buttons down the back and
the thought that a, husband la expected to

arspple them with patience and politeness?
Probably not.
But now, thanks to Miss Farrar. all the
marital unhapplneas and the obstacles to
marriage caused by the gowns that button,
button, and still button in the bark may
be removed. The husband may yet hear
that summons, "Just a minute, dear!" In
the slightly muffled tone that Indicates
there Is a hairpin In the mouth without
feeling that the bltternesa of desolation
has come. The lover may yet look upon
his lady's back without a single start of
terror.
deed Year for Servants.
A New York woman who places house
servants says there are more than the
usual number this year. So many servants
were dropped from families during the
panic of 1907 that the result is a great
number of girls doing general housework.
Many girls are preferring that mork, for
where there are several servants In the
family there Is more likely to be trouble
than where only one Is kept. The highest
priced servants are the Irish, who are
greatly In demand. Many of them are
younger sisters of Irish girls known to
New York families for years.
Famishing m Boy's Room.
The boy'a room should, by all means,
and even at the expense of sacrifice In
other directions, be as large as possible,
says the Woman's Home Companion.
Abundant space is a great good for every
body, but the boy has even more need of
It than his sister, to whom usually Is al
lotted the "second best" bedroom of the
average family house. The manifold In
terests and activities of the boy should be
provided for. His collections, his printing
press, his magic lantern, fishing tackle
books, base ball bats, mitts and mask,
skates, hockey sticks and pucks, foils, etc.,
should, If possible, be all gathered Into
his own domain, and not scattered In va
rious places about the house, where he
cannot In Justice be expected to be solely
responsible for their care, aa he should be,
An extra closet or an arrangement of
built-in cabinets and shelves, ample In
space, easy to get at and Bp see Into, with
no curtains or glass doors, should provide
for all these things In such a way as to
make habits of order possible.
A cool color suitable for a boy's room
Is a medium green, neither sharp and blue
on the one hand nor muddy brown on the
other. If the treatment of the wall npaces
was very plain, and the total effect restful,
the boy's love of red might very well re
ceive attention in the minor furnishings,
or a dull, soft yellow would make a good
combination.
The floor covering1 should be as low
toned In relation to the rest of the furnish
ings as Is consistent with the practical
problem of keeping It clean, yet suf
ficiently dark to give a feeling of the
greatest color weight being under foot,
and not about or above one's head. Its
color would of course be determined by
the other furnishings; Its material should
be stout and heavy enough to prevent Its
being kicked up Into wrinkles by careless
feet or involuntarily dragged into posi
tions which give a look of disorder and
unrest to the room.
The furniture should be of a variety
which will stand hard use and the test of
time. Ample In dimensions, simple and
dignified In line, 'refined in color, with no
varnished surface to show every scratqh
and keep a record of every drop of liquid
spilled on it.
A writing desk or table which he shall
use only for study-work and writing pro
vides properly for a boy's "home-work,"
and lends dignity and charm to the letter
writing, which, when a matter of duty,
haa been known to take the combined
efforts of the whole family to accomplish.
At least one chair should be deep and
soft and very comfortable, for quiet
hours with books. A broad, low couch,
with the head placed near a. window, pro
vides another restful lounging place. If
the head of the couch Is not raised, cush
ions should be added to raise the head to
a proper height for reading, aa it will
certainly be used for that.
A table light enough to be readily
moved and not devoted to any regular use
would be a great boon In the carrying out
of boy activities aorting stamps, drawing,
printing, etc. would prevent the disorder
Incident to borrowing from other rooms.
Deal kitchen tables are respectable furni
ture, and one would not at all detract
from the appearance of the room if It were
stained, and In the top of a kitchen table
one need not shudder at pinholes, Jack
knife digs and the like. These articles of
furniture added to the positive necessities,
and with the bookcases and closets or cab
inets mentioned, should amply provide for
comfort and orderly living.
To sum it all up, the boy's room should
recognize his potential manhood in its
strength of treatment and his present
abounding physical strength and dislike
of restraint in the sturdlness of the furni
ture, simplicity of arrangement and
serviceability of color scheme.

A Woman's Equine Enterprise.
A woman. Mrs. Huntington Smith, con

In Boston. For worktng horses there are
wide stalls, oats that have nourishment
In them, not mere shells, mash when
they need It, good water to drink, and
good beds, all of which are usually be
yond the meana of poor truckmen and

classes, as well as others, the model sta

upon a time It was a gay and
more or less frivolous affair
adapted to general use and bearing no spe
cial relation to any one costume, but the
day of the thoroug-hly Independent
separate blouse has gone by, save
Insofar as tub shirtwaists and lin
gerie blouses fill the bill. Occasionally,
too, one sees a smart blouse of white or
cream net or lace or silk, but It Is ad
mitted only on suffrance. The blouse
matching the costume In color Is the cor
rect thing.
When the law was first laid down by
Mme. La Mode, women signed and turned
to their dressmakers. Buying the desir
able blouse ready made was no longer a
possibility. But . the merchants have
changed all that.
Gradually the supply of modish dressy
blouses In all the prevailing colors hss
risen to meet the demand, and this fall
any observing student of things connected
with dress must needs ba struek by the
number of really charming blouses of
fered In the better shops not common
place shirtwaists and bunglesome attempts
at aomethlng more ornate, but Just such
dainty blouses as the fashionable woman
has been In the habit of ordering from
her dressmaker as the complement of her
tailored suit.
One may pay a high price for the ready
made blouse If one Is willing to do It.
There are chic Imported models replete
with original details and bearing an un
mistakably Parisian stamp, and these, of
course, eome high; but such a blouse If
made to order by a dressmaker eapable ef
producing, such work would coat aa much
or more than the ready-made model and
mean more trouble and time.
Some of the Imported model are ex
ceedingly elaborate, handsome and enough
for wear even with the most stunning o'f
velvet or silk or cloth costumes and espe
cially designed with a view to restaurant
luncheons, matinees, etc., where a tailored
costume Is the most comfortable and prac
tical attire, and yet a hint of elaboration
Is desirable.
There are among these blouses some
models which, like the old-time favorites,
are in accordance with any color and are
not merely accessories of certain cos
tumes; but these models are few and must
have great smartness to excuse their lapse
from the generally accepted rule. The
loveliest of them are In metallic effects,
with touches of cream or white lace for
relief, and no fine and soft are the me
tallic nets, laces, etc., that such a blouse
Is by no means the barbaric thing on
might Imagine.
A clever example of this type by Dumay
has been sketched for this page and was
built up In tucked gold net, gold lace and
cream lace, the whole mad over white
ehlffon and dellclously cobwsbby and
gleaming without being spectacular. An
other metallic blouse In dull gold net em
broidered In soft Persian colorings and
design was a thing of beauty which would
tone In with almost any of the darker
colors.
Metal is' introduced freely upon many
blouses of which It is not the principal ele
ment and tha results obtained are often
admirable.- Colored net la laid over gold
or silver net or over metallic lace, the
whole upon a' white foundation, or per
haps the colored net matching a gown Is
made over a fine white net embroidered
boldly In metal and In tones .of the veiling
color. To give a better idea of such an
effect let us look at a charming model
shown In one of the Twenty-third street
khops.
The material is a fine dark blue net and
the blouse might appropriately accom

Free scholarships for Narses.
Philadelphia has an exhibition of prac
tical benevolence in the work of the Phila
delphia School for Nurses. The annual re
port showed that during the last year
10,275 patients were supplied with nurr-es,
who otherwise would not huve secured
skilled nursing care. Four-fifths of this
service was rendered gratuitously. It was
shown also that in teaching facilities, avail

and often the creamy lace foundation has

Such fin gold run lace may be bought at
prices by no means high and tha woman
who wants a pretty homemade blouse to
match a suit can achieve excellent results
by using chiffon or net matching her suit

blouses of this last type which have con
siderable cachet despite their simplicity
and look very well with a plain tailored

Some equally simple models In crepe de

simple silk waists we have seen In recent
seasons. Most of these blouses have shal

Large rollers and deep closings are
among the most notable- real urea ot au
tumn coats.
The new coats are long, decidedly, and
narrower in every way than they were
last year.
Th waist for afternoon wear can be
maue with dutch round neck or with the
high collar.
'the evening gown with the round neck
and short mouaquetalre sleeves will be
very popular.
One of the most popular waists for
dressy wear this season Is the model
with the bib effect.
The star belt is made of dull gold, cov
ered with tiny stiver sequins in the shape
of stars.
The tunics, which are many and va
rlous, are reserved mostly for visiting
gowns and house dresses.
Velvet belts, cut In the deslttn of flowers,
each blossom holding a gem, will be a
pretty fashion.-
The latest whim of the Parisian Is car
rying the evening gloves in the hand
instead of wearing them.
The French tailors are making a great
effort to give the back of the new coat
a small, contracted look.
Itlngs have grown to such large size
and are so enormous that the wearing of
gloves has become a question.
For evening wear elaborate gold and
silver belts, hand painted, Jeweled or em
broidered, will be popular.
While the plain nets are popular, those
with the dot and the vermicelli design
are more in first style.
With a tailored suit it Is fashionable
to wear a stock of satin with a narrow
linen line turned over at the. top.
The transparent effects are In full sway
among the silks, gray over nattier blue,
green or black over Sevres blue being
lovely.

sonable suitings that are not too heavy
to pleat are particularly good for walk
ing skirts.
The one-button coat Is very effective,
and though one covered with a coat ma
terial might be used, the Jet button Is
more striking.
So far as the new trimmings are con
cerned, we have been threatened with a
return of the puffings and frilling and
flutintja of the seventies.
All-black hats of French felt or velvet
will be worn, the crown made entirely
of lynx fur, with a fur head at the side
or the front.
It is noticeable among well dressed
women that the waists either match the
skirt exactly or at least blend with It. ,
It Is quite apparent that draperies of
all kinds, tunics, panniers, overeklrt and
fichus are th distinctive notes of present
styles.
Curious as It may seem, the predomi
nating Influences at work among the new
styles are those borrowed from th fasli
