Isie De Wolfe says to the readers of The Evening World that “ns a rule the Amerl- can business girl 1s exceedingly well dressed.” It 1s the uniform testimony of returned Euro- pean travellers that even the women of Paris, in whom taste in dress Is supposed to be !nnate, are not more becomingly gowned than New York girls who carn their living in offices and counting-rooms. The same saving sense which enables a girl to acquire stenography and book- keeping enlightens her as to the potent influence in fe of good clothes, Her duty to herself to be well dressed 1s no greater than that to her em- ployer to add a column of figures correctly, and with a realizing sense of the fitness and propor- tion of things tn the material world she appre- clates it. — “I'l mortgage the house and go back to tho washtub {f you can’t lick this fellow next time,” 1s the message McGovern’s motuer sent to her son through The Evening World. {t 1s rather more forceful than the classical mother’s warn- ing to her son to “return with his shield or on it."

The short skirt as generally adopted by the sex detracts from the grace and charm of even the prettiest woman, and In the case of those to whom nature has denied beauty or roundness of outline it accentuates faults of figure which competent dressmakers are wont to conceal from view. A stylishly tallored skirt reaching to the shoe tips, as contemplated by Redfern, permits ease and freedom tn walking while preserving the wearer's feminine grace and dignity. ——— The opinion seems to prevall among the older boys at Cambridge that while Harvard won the football match with a completeness that broke all records, the Yale men gained a greater moral victory by the manly way they took the terrible drubbing admintstered to them. At the ¢ bration after the game Major Henry I. Hlgg-n- son sald: “Some of them knew they were going to be beaten, and yet they played that geome through Hke men and there wasn't u solemn look or a groan.

Fortune smiled on him with daz- zling brilllance, but of course in a repre- hensible way, when she permitted him to win $500 from $10 at faro in Denver. It shows the stuff in the young pugilist, that Instead of squandering his easily earned cash In riotous living he put it out at Interest, so to speak, by using it for training expenses, His luck and foresight combined would win large returns in Wall street if he did hot have a better thing In his profession. —_-—. “I hear your wife wrste you such a touching jetter.”” “Sho did, Touched mo for $000." ee Commander Booth-Tucker, of the Salvation Army, says that the basedrum fs of great help to the Salvation Army. “If we didn’t make a notse we wouldn't be heard,” he says.
