WHAT BUSINESS WOMEN SHOULD Miss Elsie De Wolfe In- structs the Girl Who Walks While She Works and the Type- writer Girl in ~the Choosing and Mak- ing of Silk Waists and| Gowns. Miss Elsie De Wolfe, ploneer of American actresses for the gowns she wears, gives to Evening World readers to-day her second talk on “How to Dress.” She addresses herself to the Girl Who Walks While She Works, as well as to the Typewriter Girl. The advice she gave to the latter on Saturday applies equally to the former for street and office wear, But to-day Miss De Wolfe also has quite a bit to say to both on the sub- fect of silk waists and evening gowns. BY ELSIE DE WOLFE. HOW TU DRESS. Il. The Girl Who Walks While She Works. A talk about the clothes of the woman whose work keeps her a part of the time on the street gives me an opportunity to preach my most {im- portant sermon again: Such a woman can do no work at all without a short skirt. § I have purposely chosen successive days for my talks, and this cliss of business women and the typewriter girl (about whose dress I talked on Satur- day), and this for two reasons: First, the dress for working hours for the two will be practically the same. Second, so will the gowns and waists which both will want to wear outside the omce. It 1s about this second sort of clothes I am going to speak. Before I do this I will review briefy what I gave yesterday as the articles, with thelr cost, necessary to the ward- robe of a well-dressed typewriter xirl. and which are equally desirable for the wardrobe of the woman whose clothes 1 am to discuss to-day. ‘The articles were: Short skirt and coat of eame material, $25; hat, 35; three shirtwatsts, 36; shoes, $3.09; dogskin gloves, $1.50; collars and be triat total of 343, sis a total of lau and. 1 ghoul Rave aatd alse, exclusive of’ the expense of pres: ng. sponging and cleaning, “which 1 hope no girl not clever enough to do these for herself omits.

I need hardly add that the gown need not be made over silk, It Is better, too, not to make It over a cheap gilp.

We are just vain enough to believe that the old Stewart Store holds a more important relation to the Trade Christmas of New York than it ever did before. This year brings us to our Sixth Holiday ‘Business Season in this City, Each succeeding season thus far has brought us a In the faith of cumulative success our preparations for this year have been largely increased. Four hundred more people on our pay-roll, sixty more horses in our stables, thousands more square teet of selling space, and a half million dollars’ worth more Christmas stock. This means better service, more comfort, larger choice for you; more sales for us.

Two reasons: We own $30,000 worth of Furniture that was made to our order by the best manufacturing cabiuet maker in America—and that means unsurpassed anywhere, Today we take $7,500 from the prices that we may realize $22,500 for the line. No logical reason exists for this action except that we lack floor room. The demand for our fine furniture is so great that, in our judgment, we can gain room quickest by sacrificing prices on the best. Included in this offering are: One Bedroom Suite, mahogany, reduced from $!,050 to $787.50. One Bedroom Suite, Circassian walnut, reduced from $1,850 to $1,387.50.
