V and They Quit Studies for Factories, Though They Might Have More Schooling. WASHINGTON, July -6 Interest ing because of its bearing on the tes timony as to girls’ employment re cently Investigated by the Illinois Senatorial “White Slave” Committee ie a bulletin just issued by the Bu reau of Education It Is written after a careful study of trade and labor conditions among girls in Worcester, Mass., preliminary to the establishment of a trade school for girls The conclusion reached Is that from one-half lo three-fourths of the girls at work In factories could have had further schooling if they wanted to. or if their parents had cared to insist on it. More G>rls Leave School. The survey shows that the number of girls between 14 and Hi years of age who leave school Is constantly in- < teasing. In the last five years many more girls between those ages left the Worcester schools than can be ac counted. for by Increase In the popu lation. Only about 17 per cent of them , had finished the grammar schools; most of them left in the sixth and seventh years. Worcester is taken as a fair index of any of the manufacturing towuis of the country. Why did these girls leave school? Various reasons were assigned by the gir!s themselves. Some 30 said that they “did not like the school; could not get along with the teacher; were not promoted, or w'anted to get to w ork.” Why G'rJs Quit Studies. Two were working to help pay for a piano. One of these was a cash girl of 14 years who had left the ninth grade to go to work In a department store for $2. I.ater she got $2.30 per week. Another was a giri of 15 from the eighth grade, who went to work in a cors’et factory for $1 and rose to $4.82 per week. Still another girl was taking music lessons and contributing to the payments for a piano. In the opinion of the Board of Edu cation conditions such as found at Worcester mphasize the imperative need for special training of a practi cal soil for girls between 13 and 15. In the main the girls left school sim ply because they disliked the school work. Not getting the kind of training they might have liked and would have profited by, they blindly joined the army if shifting., inefficient, discon- tented girls that from one monot onous factory task to another, and, because of their lack of training, rarely rise above the class of low- paid, unskilled workers. Skirt Too Tight Is Ruled Worthless Court Holds That Even Plea of Fash ion Will Not Hold if Walk ing Is Prevented. Special Cable to The American. PARIS. July 26. A Paris court has decided that a dress which is too i tJit to walk in is worthless to the person who ordered it and need not be paid for. Last year Mrs. Price, an American resident of Paris, had a dress made, the price of which was $75. When the dress was delivered she refused to take it because she could not walk in it. The dressmaker summoned her for the money, and refused to alter the dress because tight skirts were fash ionable. Mrs. Price brought a counter-ac tion and lost it, appealed ami has now won her appeal with costs. Miss Mary Forbes Wears Charm ing Gowns in New Farce of Harold Smith. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, July 26.—Society folk in variably look to the stage for “ad vance fashions.” In the new farce written by Harold Hmlth, brother of F. E. Smith, the great politician, some charming gowns are worn. Miss Mary Forbes, in act one, wears a simple mauve frock, with touches of black at the neck and waist, and a turn over collar of lace. And one of her gowns is of white silk, with which she wears a short, knitted tiger yellow coat, striped with black. A Neapolitan hat of knitted silk, in the same shade of yellow, is supplemented with a black satin bor der. < >ne of Miss Brough's dresses Is a little morning toilet of black ?nJ white bird's-eye foulard, a strip of raspberry colored silk being let inti th** front like a slip on a man’s coat and caught with a huge black braid motif.

BRIDE AT ALTAR HALTS WEDDING BECAUSE OF DRESS HARRISBURG. ILL., July 26— In the Uounty Clerk’s office a marriage ceremony was delayed two hours be cause the bride suddenly discovered she was not properly arrayed. H. R. Northup. 45, and Miss Florence Hart. 43, both of DeKoven, Ky., applied for a license. When Justice Grigsby asked the couple to Join hands’, the bride dis covered she had on a black 'skirt. She threw up her hands and exclaimed: “There is nothing stirring Just yet. No marrying in black for me. No, Indeed. It’s % a had omen, and I don’t want to start off bad.” They left the courthouse and two hours later they returned, the bride dressed in white, and the waiting jus tice performed the ceremony. WOMAN, WHO NEVER WORE HAT, NOW 100 YEARS OLD SOMERSET, PA.. July 26.—Mrs. Mattie Crise, who became 100 years old recently, has always lived in the same place, and in her 100 years nev er saw a railroad train, street car or a telephone. She never wore a hat, a knitted hood taking its place. that a gayety girl is bom every minute, and I don’t doubt It. Also( I don’t doubt that “Governor” George Edwardes has need for twice as* many as nature supplies. You know exactly the style he wants—the gentle, purring, listless, lissome, Edna May-like, languid, delicate, wistful, pensive, reluctant and Christmas card type. No other type goes in London. ’ The average American type Is not at all popular. Sometimes some fervid critic and impassioned re viewer asserts that she i».. ^ e "» * assert distinctly—she isn t. She must conform to the above require ments. "The pink lady” sirens, for instance, were very harshly criti cised for being loud, not reluctant. All of which 1* neither here nor there, except to illustrate the fact that in “The Dancing Mistress” at the Royal Adelphi Theater we see another of those things—formless, chaotic, invertebrate and unintelli gible—that depend entirely on girls. Malone Arch Girl Setter. In this cuse she is “set” by T. A. E. Malone. George Edwardes' arch- e.st and most insinuating girl setter (he came over to New York to set the “sunshine girl” at the Knick erbocker Theater) to a “book” (so- called) by James Tanner, to lyrics (alleged) by Adrian Ross and Percy Greenback, and to music not at all up to the usual standard of that de lightful tune manipulator, Lionel Monckton. It doesn’t matter in the least. “The Dancing Mistress” may be as dull as ditch water (which it Is. and the comparison Is rough on the vi vacity of ditch water); as incom prehensible as a Sanskrit legend, and as lacking in humor as a comic weekly, but It Is a success for all that. It is so beautifully girled in all the dresses of the wardrobe. It has girl at a “finishing” school near Brighton; It has girl at a “grand” hotel in Switzerland: it has girl at a swagger I^ondon hotel. There you are. It seems to me that the authors of these London musi cal comedies (nearly all of them exactly and positively alike) are not the Tanner® and Moncktons, but the fathers and mothers of the las sies. “The Dancing Mistress,” by 50 pairs of fathers and # mothers, should be the line on the program, by rights. Miss Dare Much Postc*rded. The leading girl at the Adelphi now is little Phyllis Dare, who has taken the place of Gertie Millar. Gertie has been switched to Daily’s, and of her more anon, and some other time. Little Miss Dare, who is very much postal-carded, is al most terribly pretty. Her prettiness amounts almost to a fault. She is pale and blonde, and thinnish and dainty, and oh, so wistful. She seems to be yearning all the time. She looks out upon a “sea of heads” in the audience as though she were scared to <eeath, as though she were saying. “Oh, please be good to your little Phyllis, for she is such a timid little puss." Sometimes this is very effective. M all depends upon your mood— sometimes it is very irritating. You feel that if you opera-glassed her too severely she would swoon be- Miss Dare Is by no means new to the business and is really self- possessed. In “The Dancing Mistress” she has one very pretty song with Jose phine Coyne. They are on skis in Switzerland, and of course you know what a ski is. If you don’t I’ll tell that it is a sort of elon gated skate. Little Phyllis and Jo sephine Coyne do this remarkably well. It is one of the very, very few things In "The Dancing Mistress” that are worth while. You wake* up for a minute or two from the deadly apathy jnto which the eventlessness of the proceedings has plunged you, and you fee! tempted to applaud. Prettiness No Boon. Another London favorite in “The Dancing Mistress” Is Miss Gracie Leigh, a very clever and delightful little woman who Isn’t pretty for one moment, and who i.® therefore a positive relief. Anybody who isn’t pretty in “The Dancing Mistress” is & joy. Anybody who isn’t pretty seems daring and original. A Polalre or a Mistinguette among all these zimmering. afternoon tea damselines would be perfectly won derful. Miss Gracie Leigh is a capital dancer, and Miss Gracie Leigh has a sense of humor. She has a Scotch dance to offer that—like the ski number mentioned above—rouses you from your torpor. A very plump Frenchwoman, pro grammed as Mile. M. Caumont, works so hard that she almost fa tigues. She is relied upon for comedy, and she is merciless in her efforts to secure it. Her role is not at all a funny one, and not even a pretty one, so it is just as well that no English lassie takes it. Caumont is a clever woman, but she .seems out of place in this sort of a show. Then there is Miss El sie Spencer, who is quite nice in a subdued and coloness London way. But the pretty ones swamp the whole thing—Trixie Hill in, and Gladys Kiorton, and Dorothy Dev- ers and Dorothy Laim. and Isobel Elsom. and Kathleen Vincut, and Gypsy O’Brien—ad lib. “The Dancing Mistress.” I fancy, aims at “The Quaker Girl." but it is really nothing of the sort—nothing of any sort. It is a beautifully staged, girled and appointed blank. Members Are Urged to Elect Delegates to International Congress on Hygiene. Mr®. S. G. Hodgson, of Peachtree, State health chairman of the Gener al Federation of Women’s Clubs, has received a letter from Mrs. S. S. Crockett, chairman of the Public Health Department of the Federation, railing attention to the great service of the clubwomen of America in help ing to make a success of the fourth International Congress on School Hy giene, which is to be held at Buffalo the last week in August, and which is being supported by the General Fed eration, under the presidency of Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker. In her lette.r Mrs. Crockett says: "The public health committee of the General Federation of Women's Clubs suggests that women’s organi zations generally shall endeavor to take advantage of the Internationa^ School Hygiene Congress at Buffalo In August, so that in their respective communities new interest may be awakened because of this great in ternational meeting. Please remem ber that all those who attend this congress will be furnished with the printed proceedings—a veritable li brary of scientific information on the subject.” The suggestion offered by Mrs Crockett is that the clubwomen of this State urge the appointment * of delegates to the Buffalo congress from the following organizations: School boards, health boards, boards of trade, school improvement associations, pub lic educational associations, parent- teachers’ associations and others. Mrs. Crockett further urges that each school, college, club and public library subscribe to membership in the congress, in order to secure the volume of proceedings. R. C ’ *■ Vv:. ' ».

They are made of satin brocade, of Oriental I irepe, of Chinese and Japanese em broidery. of striped silk, of flowered . taffeta and figured rreru Some niv like blouses and are intended to serve las such when the coat is removed. I They are open in the neck, quite loos- | and soft, are fastened in a straight line down the front xxith fancy but ton® ami have unusuallx large arm holes with sleeves that go to the i wrists. This kind is belted at the j waist w ith a narrow girdle of ma*e- j rial or contrasting velvet ribbon, and there Is a breast pocket which often holds a small handkerchief with a i small colored border. A Question of Paint To paint or not to paint, is the question all women over thirty years I of age are up against noxv. The wo* ! man who mak**s up is so numer ous that a natural complexion which has stood the stress of thirty-odd summers is apt to look worse than It is. when compared with the fresh- looking f o »* of her companion. And nexer was “make-up” more artistical ly or skilfully done than at the pres- « tit i tn* Tlie thickly powdered face with it® intensely roughed cheeks and heavilv blackened eyelids 1s a specta cle of ever greater rarity. Instead, I in an> gathering of women in full j i ig -out \x e see faces and hair toned n conformity with age and nature— ' hecks xx th a pleasant healthy glow which only an expert can dectect as j make-up; hair no longer uniformly tinted to Titian shades, but adaptc 1 I to the face it frames, while grey hair j is becoming less and less of a draw - ; back and being put forward as an ad- ! x nntage. Perfectly white hair for the ! older 1 y woman is as mtieh sought ; after to-day as was the rich golden ! ten years ago. • • • Tor Porch Tables One of the little annoyances which i pester the summer housewife as soon as she gets her porch furniture m place is the maddening way the table covers glow gayly around. They are always getting rumpled even if they are xveighted with books or flower vases. In fact, the last state »>f the woman who puts a floxxer vase on such a table cover is likely to be wor e than the first; fur in the first really snappy breeze that comes along, cover, vase, flowers and all go by the board. This wanderlust is not confined to the table covers, either. The morning paper satis off. not merely thre-* sheets in the wind, but the whole tumultuous edition Fancy work goes, too in fact, wherever ocean breezes blow or mountain gusts sweep by, this problem of anchoring things •o the porch table is a/pressing one. And yet it has been solved. One an bux a. little ni ket-plated spring arrangement that will effectually hold a cover In its place. Its usefulness • an be extended to include papers or other articles not too thick. The more bulky ones won’t blow off, any way. Lace and Stock ing s For summer fancy work the girl with more time than money might undertake to ornament a few pairs of silk stockings. Lace insettings are effectively used just now for this pur pose and the handwork involved is much less intricate than embroiders. Once the lace is arranged on the stocking tiie effect is gained and there remains only the careful sewing to bring a satisfactory result. In the case of embroidery one can never so sure of the effect of handwork un til the pattein is far advanced and it is usually then too late to change if the result is disappointing. By studying the designs of lace used for Insetting in the expensive stock ings in exclusive shops it is easy \o decide on a model. A flight of but terflies. of graduating sizes, is a de sign worth copying, and two Van dykes of lace, forming a sort of hour glass design, xxith points meeting at the ankle, is another effective ar rangement quite within the possibil ities of the home worker. Any lac** showing a design that can be easily cut out and applied is appropriate for insetting in sila stockings.
