Sports Clothes, Which Have Achieved Such a Wonderful Popular
ity, Bound to Become a Permanent institution Have Given
Impetus to the Separate Skirt Idea—Pretty Party Dress,
in Batiste or Organdie, for the Little Miss.
LATE MODEL IN SEPARATE SKIRTS.
When sports clothes made their ap
pearance up-to-date women came and
saw and were conquered by them.
They are not classed among the fads
of a season now but acknowledged as
a new departure that promises to be
come a permanent institution. They
have added a lot of color and vivacity
to the apparel of women, and have In
fluenced styles in other lines. Al
ready specialists in designing them
have demonstrated that their charac
ter and style lie in lines and in ma
terials as much as in color.
A separate skirt in a handsome
plaid, shown in the picture, is not
classed among sports skirts, although
It might be. But it reflects the style
of the sports skirt. It is made ankle
length with bias edges of the goods
joined in a seam down the back and
the front. Pipings and parallel rows
of most workmanlike machine stitch
ing places it in the class that is dis
tinguished by fine tailoring—and there
is nothing better.
The saddle-bag pockets, introduced
early in the season, proved an inspira
tion for several pocket effects which

are reappearing in the new fall mod
els. In the skirt shown, a shaped band
about the hips serves a double purpose,
as it decorates and also provides a
place for two pockets.
Skirts of this kind are worn with
plain waists of crepe de chine or of
cotton materials. The combination of
plaid skirt and plain colored coat, to
match the dominant color of the skirt,
is among the best of the new show
ings for fall. The well-tailored sepa
rate skirt is a joy to its possessor and
gives months of good service. For
the coldest weather long heavy coats
will replace the coats to match, which
are designed for immediate wear.

removal of her coat discloses her finery
in these thin materials, sometimes
hand embroidered, more often machine
embroidered, and often finished off, in
either case, with fancy needlework
stitches. In the summertime her frilled
bonnet is much like her dress, and In
winter time it is apt to match her coat.
The little frock pictured above is of
machiue-embroidered batiste In a fine
quality. Among the embroidered flounc
ings there are many patterns that
seem made especially for children’s
dresses. The flower designs are dainty
and the work fine. Such a pattern is
needed for the little dress shown here.
Frills are set in the short sleeves and
they are made of the same flouncing
as that used in the sldrt. The skirt Is
set to a short baby waist, and what lit
tle needlework there Is, is done by
hand.
The finest of organdie edgings and
flouneings are used for making those
dressy bonnets, with double frills about
the face, that have a permanent place
in style for little children.
The bonnet shown has a puffed
crown and is trimmed with a soft
rosette of pink ribbon at the left side.

the little miss, in which she looks
much like an animated doll. There is
nothing unusual or different about this
pretty outfit. Every little girl may
have one like it. Every merchant car

it and all hearts warm to the daintily
clad little ones in their frills und rib

When Your Little Daughter Has
Grown Up, What Therrt
GREAT PROBLEM FOR PARENT
Girl Should Be Trained for All Expec
tations, Marriage Probably, But
Maybe to Earn Her
Own Living.
By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERG.
SOONER or later every boy begins to
build his dreams of man’s estate
about activities and interests related to
the world’s work. It is expected of
him that he will grow up to do some
thing, and even if ho has no special
predilection for work of any kind he
cannot altogether escape the feeling
that he will have to take his share
when the time comes. With girls, how
ever, the matter is different. But not
because girls are necessarily different
“by nature.” It is apparently a differ
ence arising out of old traditions, for
children will do their part to meet the
prevailing expectations.
This is shown by the fact that In cer
tain classes of society the only picture
the girls can form of their adult state
is that of managing a household or act
ing as hostess; whereas among others,
looking forward to work at wages is
the regular thing. It is taken for
granted that the girl will earn her liv
ing. And with comparatively rare ex
ceptions, the assumption thus made
will give color to tin* girl’s outlook and
tone to her work of preparation.
In spite of the fact that women are
entering gainful occupations in ever
increasing numbers, and in spite of
the fact that women remain at “work”
longer und longer periods, it is still to
be expected that most girls will marry,
and that they will become heads of
households and of families. The prob
lem of training for the adult years is
thus complicated for the girl in a way
that does not appear with the boy.
With the boy grown up the vocation is
the main concern of his time and
thought; marriage and family are con
sidered to be rather incidental. With
the girl grown up, on the contrary, the
home must be the chief concern, where
as any other occupation is considered
incidental.
Since it is impossible to know be
forehand, in nny given case, whether
your daughter will or will not marry

Not Marry.
and have the opportunities and the re
sponsibilities of wife and mother, it
would seem to be necessary to give all
girls preparation suitable for the mar
ried state. And since, whether she mar
ries or not, every girl should be pre
pared to meet the requirements of
modern life in the way of useful serv
ice, she must carry the additional
burden of preparation for some kind
of remunerative work. With the girl
who feels a “call” for special work the
problem usually settles itself. This
girl is likely to neglect everything and
concentrate her efforts on preparation
for the one thing important to her. She
will throw herself into her work with
the singleness of purpose that we
usually expect of a good worker. Later,
if chance and changing interests di
rect her thoughts to the traditional
“place” for women, her problem is an
individual one, and she will make her
preparations in the thorough and sys
tematic manner that she previously
applied to her vocational training. But
with the vast majority of girls there
is no “call,” and there is the need to
look ahead and to prepare.
Every girl should, therefore, be
trained for some occupation worth en- ]
tering, and this witli the standards not
of the transient or casual worker, but
With those of one who means to make
a lifework of it. But this at once j
raises the question whether it is worth
while to spend the time and effort and
money necessary for such training, in
view of the probability that it may not
be used to the full after ifis acquired.
It may be said that it is worth while
for every girl to become an expert in
some line of activity, even if she does
not need to depend upon it for her
livelihood. It gives one a certain sense j
of confidence to feel this reserve <
strength of fitness. Moreover, accord
ing to the newer views in education, j
the culture and training to be gained
through becoming an expert worker in
some useful line are just as valuable
as those to be acquired through the
old-fashioned “general” education.
And yet we cannot help feeling that
there Is a certain element of unreality
in training girls for work with a men
tal reservation or hope that they wi'l
not make use of the training. Is it
quite sincere to drill Dorothy in de
signing or telegraphy, while wishing,
and while teaching her to wish, that
she may escape the necessity of ap
plying her skill?
It Is Impossible to solve Dorothy’s
problem in an entirely satisfactory
way, unless we are willing to face the
larger question of woman’s work and
of woman’s place in the new society.
The rising generation will have to
solve the problem. Can we help them
better by ignoring it and making our
individual adjustments ns best we can,
or can we accomplish more by looking
at it squarely and, accepting the con
ditions, fight through to some conclu
sion?
Our daughters are growing up, yours
and mine. Must we anticipate for them
the choice between n life of idleness on
the one hand and the unsatisfactory
conditions that prevail In most wom
en’s occupations on the other? Must
we accept for them either casual work
and all this implies—perhaps for a

or as the only alternative an expensive
training for high grade efficiency that
may lie utilized for but a short period
and then go to waste? Must we have

idle middle age (after their children
shull no longer need their continuous
attention), either because they are not
prepared for work worth .doing or be
cause the organization of work does
not permit them to utilize their train
ing after the necessary Interruptions.
This Is not Dorothy’s problem; it is
our problem. And you women of mid
dle age who have time and energy may
well consider the problem of woman’s
work, as it is bound to affect your
daughters—and your sons, too.
“Capped” His Story.
Crop stories quite frequently rival
“fish stories” in their tendency to ex
ceed the speed limit in crossing the
boundary line of veracity, the bigness
of pumpkins and the immensity of
cabbages, apples or potatoes equaling
any big fish ever described.
Now the capacity of soils for rais
ing things and “starting something”
to grow claims attentions. Here is
a story of fertile land told by Dr.
Nathan Schaeffer as a joke on himself.
The richness of soil was being dis
cussed with a woman farmer. Doctor
Schaeffer glorified the crop possibili
ties of his own county by saying:
“Why, in our county the soil is so
rich that if you stick a nail into the
ground the next morning it has grown
into a crowbar.”
Whereupon the other replied:
“Yes, I know, but in our county we
use a tack for that purpose.”
Swing of the Pendulum.
Great reforms are only brought
about in the United States, as In most
other countries, through violent agita
tion ; and, as is invariably the case,
the agitation leads to measures unnec
essarily stringent.
The pendulum overswings its bal
ance and reaction follows.
It has been true in the past also that
the period of reaction has been so
violent as to nullify much of the good
accomplished, lead to renewed public
indifference and give opportunity for
abuse of privilege to again entrench
itself.
So long as people govern themselves
and a majority of the voters remain
human, this will continue, hut with
this gain, that the pendulum on its re
turn never reaches the point from
which it started to swing back.
That constitutes the measures of
beneficial accomplishment.
Ancient Surnames.
The bearers of some of the sur
names which appear in medieval docu
ments must have been glad of an ex
cuse to change them.
Apparently this was done, for the
more grotesque have either vanished
<>r been modified out of recognition,
says the London Chronicle.
Among the former are such names as
Alice Thepunderstepdoghtre. Mazelina
Stabwourchman, Frethesancela Del
Oountynghouse, Gadlsman Attestrete
sende and Thomas Wrankwisshe,
which certainly have no claimants
nowadays.
Many surnames trade
or service have been contracted, such
as Le Lindrai>er into Druper, Le Cou
hirde into Coward, Le Chapelayn into
Chaplin and Le Gresuenour (gros ve
ueur) into Grosveuor.

Forget to Pay.
Patrons of Winchester barber shops
seem to have a mania for forgetting
to pay their tonsorlal bills. In many
cases it is done unintentionally.
One evening, recently, a former Win
chester resident who now lives in Cali
fornia entered a barber shop for a
haircut and shave. He was in a hurry.
His business for the evening included
a lodge meeting, and, most important
of all, catching a train for his home.
Many of his old-time friends were in
the shop when he stepped from the
chair. He bade them all good-by and
started to leave the shop. He had not
yet paid his bill.
“Did you forget something?” the bar
ber asked as the customer was leav
ing the shop.
“Oh, yes, I beg your pardon,” the
customer replied. “Good-by, good-by.”
And the bill still remains unpaid.—
