It would be Idle to prediet what will happen in the future. but it is not impossible ‘that some time a «oman will sit in the speaker's chair as the choice of the house. It may alsu be that a woman may succeed to <he presidency. With women admitted to full rights of citizenship, man can na) longer claim such places of distinction as belonging to him exclusively, Whie there is but one woman member of congress at present the number surely will be increased as wnen. become more accustomed to their present status. And we feel no alarm over the prospect.

Latest Doll ‘Says Things” H om e Business It’ When STYLE MAKING, Women Volunteer To Help Reduce Farm Labor Cost Many Working in Nebraska Corn Fields—Early Crop and Need of Economy NORFOLK, Neb., July 8.—The ab- sence gf hired hands and the presence of many farm women in the harvest fields was the subject of remark im this purt of the state las: week. Iie presence ef the Jin he corn fields is explained us being made necessary Deause the corn ie growing faster than cultivation can be made and for that reason every hand on the farm—male or female—is cal-ed to the colors, In the hay fiélds where wora en are in charge o@ the mowingijuip. ment or are helping with the stacking or raking, it is explained that in mony casus they have vo.unteered their abor in order to cut dawn the expense of hiring laborers, thus helpiny the farmers to meet the lower prices they receive for their products. Although the farm women answund the call when the war made man-pow: er scarce, their presence in th> fleids today is causiag comment. One suto- mubild driver counted fifteen women in the fields between Omaha and Nor- folk during the week. Women and girls were driving horses attached to mowing machines, Sume of them were raking hay, anl many were rid ing cultivators which are making their last trip through the corn, which is almost too high to cultivate. information received from authori tative sources indicates that farmers in north Nebraska are not worrying over the shortage of laba: that has been experienced during the last few years. In several instances they have made it plain that they are economiz- ing this year because prices of farm produces have fallen off, unab‘e to pay out money for hired men, the women have volunteered to go into the fields and take the pieces of the male la- borers, While there are not many in- dications that this movement was a premeditated one among farmers gen- erally, it appears to be general. ‘There is noticed a lack of calis for farm hands ‘because there is plenty of fe- male labor in the fields, Here and there men are receivin: empldyment on farms, but inquiry into wages paid indicates that the farmers have forgotten about $100 and $75-n- months employes and are rapidly cut- ting the prices back to where they were long before the war, Indicatioins aro. that there will be much labor needed on north Nebraska farms within the next month when rye and winter wheat and eats are ta be harvested but the usual ca‘ls for heip are lacking and with a big crop in prospect, farm women are taking the center of the stage and are indi cating their importance to Nebraska farm life.

The de- signers did not rack their brain$™fo seek out some fantastical idea to car- ry out in silks or satins for milady’ back, but rather left it to the court beauties of Franco and England ~to create a new fad through their own Ingenuity. It is stated upon authority that many of the most popular fashions Were founded entire'y upon chance, and many time were the result of ac- cident. For instance it was true that the cueen mother of England was solely responsible for a number of spe- clal fashions of her day. Although it may not be entirely true that a scar on her neck caused the dog collar of jewels to come into existance, it is a fact that they were never so much worn as when she appeared in them. One style always associated with her was the pony. bang which femi- ninity of all countries and even men in some of them wore in the heginning of the seventies. One of her maids of honor, who like the rest of the world at that time, was devoted to crimps, was deprived through the care- ‘essness of a maid of her front hair, at least of all of it that had served to supply her with curls. The too hot crimping iron had done the business so effectively that this young woman could not do more than brush her hair down straight over her eyebrows, or brush it back straight, which in those days was accounted a style ‘of hopeless old maidishness. When Queen Alexandria, who then was princess of Wales, saw the plight of her friend, she immediately said she would follow the same coiffure. She had her bang cut straight off, and the fashion traveled from one end of Europe to the other. The jersey which was popular throughout England in the late ‘70's with the women, young and old, is ac- credited to the princess of Wales who started the fad by accident. She was on a fishing party when she found that her wardrobe provided nothing sultable for the sport. At that time she was in Scotland near a small town where she sent her maid of honor to find her some serviceable garment. The young; woman returned with @ knit jacket intended for a man. The garment fit snugly and frankly re: vealed the figure, and ix popular even now in the jersey sweaters. Enough women of the court saw the princess wear the jersey to create a demand for it and the lasting style was thus brought into existence. Empress Eugene was responsible for a number of fashions some created deliberately and some by —accident, One of these resulted from a romp with the young prince imperial, which took place when he was still young enough to enjoy playing soldier. His mother, who wanted to represent an English soldier while he was a French- man, picked up a red cover from @ table and threw it over her shoulders to serve as the scarlet tunic worn by the British “Infantry. Just at the height of the game one of the court ladies entered the room. Imitation’ of the beautiful empress was at that time the usual way of flattering her, and as this court lady believed that she had seen the empress in her hurried glance wearing a jacket of scarlet, she ordered one, and the Garibaldi jacket, which was one of the smart modes of the second empire, cams into exist- ence.. . Another idea which has been ap- propriated “by all famous designers came through an act of carelessness of which the empress was the victim. She, was gowned in -white ready for a ball when ohe of her maids discovered a few drops of liquid rouge on her gown. The red irregular blots were at irregular intervals over the gown and impossible to cover with the flounces of lace. The empress seized a number of artificial flowers and pined them over the spots and thus started the popular decorative motif used by so many Paris designers. ‘The rimless hat. without which no wardrobe is complete, was originated by ‘the famous beauty, Countess Cas- tiglione of Paris. The countess with the aid of a playful puppy started the style which. has lived for many years, It was on a picnic where the countess had worn a large picture hat. The puppy, in a puppy-like manner, played with the hat and finally made way with the entire brim. The countess was proud and decided that she would wear what was left, a flower covered crown. Driving back through the Place Cendome many French women saw the odd chapeau and supposing it to be a new style immediately sought the hat shops for a similar one. ey EA PPE used to know a girl wha worked for an advertising agency and learned to apply advertising principles to dress,” says a writer in an eastern periodical. “‘She had red hair, and she rightly regarded this as her greatest charm. Instead of wearing her hafr rather fluffily, according to the cur- rent mode, she wore it combed down rather severely so that its color would be all the more noticeable. And her dresses were always plain and free from frills and fripperies which might distract attention from her hair.” ne EE 7 t f q
