A., expressing his opinion on their stand in industrial matters, says in part: v"In view of the increasingly im portant part which women are tak ing in industry, it is eminently ap propriate that the Y. W. C A. should interest itself in the industrial prob lem. "The association, like the church, can render its largest service in the industrial field, not by seeking to enunciate programs,, but rather by emphasizing the great fundamental principles of righteousness and jus tice, in accordance with which alone sane and adequate programs can be developed. ' "The association may well stand for such fundamental principles in industry as these: The sacredness of personality, representation, the application of the Golden Rule, co operation between the several par tiesto industry. Not only should it stand for these principles, but it should seek in every way to give them currency in the daily lives of those whom . it influences. Thus there will be built up a foundation upon which sane programs can be worked out by those who are ex perts in the particular field. Thus there will be .set. up .standards by which the soundness of such pro grams can be tested from time to time in the light of current condi tions and present needs." . All club items for The Sunday Bee should be in the office of the club editor not later than 3 p.m. Friday. All society items for Sunday should be in the office of the so ciety editor not later than 10 a. m. Saturday. Notices for card parties must reach the society editor not later than 3 p. m. Friday. What's What By HELEN DECIE In a former paper of this series, emphasis was laid on the impropriety of exhibiting annoyances in public In the illustration abev. the young woman seems to have ventured into a neighborhood where tne sights, sounds and odors are not to her taste, and she is conveying to the world at large her abhorrence of an evidently self-created situation. The reproof administered to one of her kind by a Plymouth fishwife was , not at all amiss: "Nobody asked you ' to come around here turning up your nose at us." Repugnance is one of the ignobler emotions, which should be sop pressed by the exercise of self-control. No thoroughbred gentlewo man would permit herself to mani fest in public any distaste fo; ' per sons or surroundings, no matte- how humble the people nor how squalid heir environment. i. - Legislative f tat 1 p A sLr ' q t i I Ajf Mil 'Pfe "" X$a$ar' r r1 ty Miss Marie Weekes.

I am giving below a letter from a business girl on a subject to which I believe, most business girls are inclined to attach an exaggerated importance. But even though we don't agree entirely with the writer, she has treated the subject in an in teresting manner and deserves at tention: Mv Dear Miss Kine: I wonder whether it would be entirely out of place in your column to express my opinion with reference to the ex treme lack of courtesy on the part of some business men toward their women employes? I am one of three girls associated for six years with a young business man (the head of a department) who. even from the very first, was entirely ignorant of the courtesies which a b-usinesj girl appreciates. I am going to enumer ate a few of the so-called discour tesies which have so annoyed us: The man of whom I speak scarce ly, if ever, raises his hat to the women employes in his office upon entering or leaving. He smokes while he dictates, holding his cigar tightly in his mouth the while, blowing his smoke :n our direction, and frequently turns his head in such a way as to render hearing difficult He is guilty of picking his teeth in the office after lunch, even vhile he is dictating. "When it is necessary for one ot the stenographers to accompany him to conferences and meetings to take down the proceedings, " he passes through the door first, oftentimes, leaving it to slam in her face, steps first into the elevator, and when passing along the street, always walks a distance of a half to a foot ahead of her nine times out of 10 on the inside of the sidewalk and is entirely indifferent as to whether she is with him or several yards be hind in crossing the street. He is quick to find fault, slow to praise. In soite of the above, he is con siderate when any of the girls are ill, and none of us has ever had to ask for an increase m salary he dwavs sees to that. Still; it seems to me a man who shows these small courtesies to his women employes is going to have their respect, loyalty and co-operation. The president of 'the company with which we are connected is ob servant of all of the courtesies which our employer lacks and has com manded respect and admiration, be cause he has been known to raise his hat even to the little girl who stamps the mail. However, all of lis rather hesitate to seek other po sitions because our salaries are good, our work pleasant and our hours of the best. "So far as we can observe from her presence here in the office, the man of whom we speak is just as discourteous to his wife in these small attentions. "What is your opinion? "A BUSINESS GIRL." As far as her personal success is concerned it ought to make little difference to a business girl whether or not her employer treats her with the superficial courtesies and polite attentions prescribed by the social code. Of course all women like to btr the recipients of such attentions from men, but the lack of them on the part of an employer is not a sufficient reason for a business girl to consider changing her position, especially when all other conditions seem to be ideal as in the above case. The man s wife is entitled to a grievance because of his ignor ance or carelessnes, but to my way of thinking the girls in the office are making much a an about nothing- Mis ;s Sylvia Boyden, the only fe parachutc. jumper of England. male recently made a daring drop of 1.500 feet during an exhibition for King George. Making Over the Last Season Chapeau A very good idea for the woman who dresses on a small amount is to have her last year's hat or hats made over at once so that she can have something to use as a substitute for her new hat or hats right from the start. In fact, if you must be very eco nomical, it is well to take the old hat to the milliner at once. It may be that it looks so well that you will not neeed any new hat at the outset. There is no very radical or essen tial change in the hats this year. To be sure, there are some new shapes and some of last year's shapes are no more. But in general tl'.ere is similarity about the head size and the proportions. The trim ming is rather differently placed in the season's advanced models from anything we have seen in several seasons., It is usually so arranged as to bring it downward rather than upward. Not infrequently when possible it is placed on the under side of the brim. You seldom see elaborate trimming placed on the crown. It is ofteiv surprising to see what good work the small local milliner can do for you. Unless you are an expert in home millinery you should consult such an expert rather than to go ahead with the work yourself. Closet Space An ingenious housekeeper found her apartment closet even too small for any approved curtain pole ar rangement on which to hang her suit and dress hangers, so she de vised the plan oi fastening a bracket, such as is used for hanging plants and bird cages, on the inside of the closet door, and found this helped a lot. To the underneath side of the closet shelf she attached iroi handles such as are sold to be screwed onto drawers, and to these she hooked another batch of hangers. Anna Shaw Memorial 3fts. d.L .

Easy Hot Bread At a hotel in the Berkshires he guests were wildly enthusiastic over the fresh hot home made bread served at every meal, and it pizzled everybody but the cook- until the secret came, out. The proprietress acknowledged that she took "store" bread of a good make, cut it in slices, leaving just enough crut to hold the loaf in shape. She, then dampened each so cut loaf arM set it in the over until thoroughly heated. When served hot it so re sembled newly baked bread as to deceive the guests completely.

Violet was happy. Yes, indeed! she was very, very happy. She told herself that this was true as she sat on the bench in the park directly opposite the great stone house where a fine car stood under the porte-cochere. She would have been just a little bit happier if her family hadn't persisted in reminding her that she might easily have mar ried a millionaire if she hadn't fal len so desperately in love with Har old. They liked Harold. Goodness gracious, she musn't think they didn't 1 Oh, no I It was only that they hated to see her tucked away in a small two-room apartment alonsr the side of a stuffy courtway when she belonged in a fine estab lishment with a retinue of servants. Sitting on the bench, daubing slyly at her eyes with a ridiculously small and entirely inadequate hand kerchief, Violet thought about the conversation that had passed be tween her mother and sister that afternoon. She opened her purse and scrutinized her face in the tiny mirror. She was undeniably good looking. It was silly to call her beautiful! Violet was not vain but as she continued to look in the mir ror she wondered if what her mother had said about her eyes and hair was a foolish mother-heart exaggeration or if perhaps she was really as pret ty as Harold said every night when he came rushing into the small kitchenette to take her in his arms and protest agaihst the long hours that kept him away from her. The flowers in "the yard across the way were all in glorious bloom". Hyacinths and tulips were wearing their most gorgeous array, bridal wreaths nodded in the soft breezes that seemed to blow cooler in that yard than they did in the park where anyone might sit. " "I wonder how it would feel to walk into that entrance, up those stone steps, through the great pan neled doors and realize that one be longed there? I wonder what sort of gay parties the mistress gives, and what kind of woman she is? How happy she must be!" The tears had ceased falling riow and Violet, engrossed in mental fan cies concerning the beautiful woman who must reign in that castle of white stone, was leanincr forward as if to inhale the fragrance from the hyacinths and tulips. Then she became conscious of a sad sight that had come directly within her line of vision. A middle aged woman had sat down on the bench across and in the center of the gravel walk stood a wheel-chair, its occupant a small grey-haired woman with a heavy -wool rug over her knees. The face, once beautiful, was now distorted with signs of evident suffering. An impatient cry such as falls from lips of invalids stirred Violet to speech. "I've seen you in the park so often I feel that I know you," she said, with a bright smile at the sufferer. The woman turned her head pain fully and looked sharply at the girl. "I've seen you, too. Do you live nearby?" "Just around the corner. I come over here to make believe I belonged in one of the big houses. No, I shouldn't have said that. I don't care to live any place except over there." She nodded at her house of dreams. "Have you noticed it? J ' By CORklNNE LOWE. New York. (Special Correspond ence.) Although free silver may be a dead issue with the politicians, it is not so with the designers of autumn clothes. These are free to the point of lavishness with their sil ver embroidery and silver cloth. Particularly in the three-piece coi tumes of velvet and duvetyn and even of navy;erge is the prodigality shown. Here silver embroidery of coat and skirt often combine with a whole bodice of silver cloth. Some times, too, the coat itself is lined with silver cloth. The three-piece costume of black duvetyn shown today illustrates the effectiveness of rilver and black em broidery on one of the new short, loose little coats. This is otherwise trimmed with gray squirrel. The skirt shows a slight fullness at the side, and the bodice is a short sleeved, round necked affair of sil ver cloth attached to the skirt with silver and black embroidery.

They are modeling the think it's the most wonderful house I've ever seen.v "What's wonderful about it?" came the crisp question. "What isn't wonderful about it? It's perfect." Violet was angered for a moment at thepettish tone of the sick woman's voice. Then she smiled again. Perhaps one could riot be expected to see beauty when one's eyes were dimmed with pain. "I've seen it every day for a gcod many years. I never thought it was anything out of the ordinary just a big sepulcher of stone." ' "A sepulcher! Surely you don't think that! I was just sitting here trying. to visualize the woman who is mistress there." "I know everybody in this neigh borhood. You might tell me how you pictured her and I'll fell you if vcu are right." Violet sat down beside the nurse and voiced her recent thoughts con cerning the gaiety and joy that must live within those walls.

He worked and saved uit. til he was able to give her that home There used to be many gay parties in those old halls. He's dead now and she's she's quite old. But she is very happy just remembering how good life has been to her." "I must.be going," Violet said re luctantly. "I hope we'll meet again and the next time I won't have to rush home to get Harold's supper," She leaned over and drew the rug more closely about the woman and then scarcely knowing what prompt ed her she kissed the pale, wrinkled cheek. "Will you be here tomorrow?" The woman's voice broke as she uttered the words, a child-like expectancy is her eyes. "Why yes, I will. And perhaps you'd like to come around to my house and see my little apartment? "What floor are you on?" anx iously. ' "The first, and we'll be able to assist you up the short flight of stairs', won't we?" She turned to the nurse, who confirmed her words, eagerly. "And we'll have tea. Good bye, then, until tomorrow." Millionaires and stone houses had vanished from her mind. Her only desire was to rush and prepare sup per for the man who loved hef well enough to work, that she might some day have the things her heart de sired. As she turned the corner the wom an in the chair nodded her head at the nurse, and slowly they made their way acooss the street and into the house of stone. "What an ingrate I ami" said the , woman, as the nurse helped her to j a comfortable chair in a conserva tory that looked out over the shrubs and blooming flowers. "The girl has brought it all back the happi ness, the long, long years of perfect contentment. Why should I rebel at a little thing like rheumatism when, I have so many beautiful things to remember?

Hint If you are tempted to try one of the popular braided rag rugs be sure to baste the braids, wrong side up, on a stiff paper foundation. Then sew together with heavy thread, be ing sure to always keep the braids flat on the paper. When you have a circle 20 or 25 inches in diameter the paper foundation may be dis carded and the rug finished on a table. Handled in this way it will be sure to be flat and free from "buckling" in the center.
