WOMAN AND THE HOME NEW SUMMER FASHIONS AND IDEAS PRIZE SUGGESTION fc The Problem of Work "TTTOMCN are today on the point of VV rebellion," declares Mrs. Crystal E. Benedict, seirctniy of the New York Emloj era' Liability Commission, who has made a close study of Industrial con dltlons among women. Their disfranchise ment Is the lending factor In their dis content, she maintains, the slow ma chlnerj of Justice rousing them to a great re"tle-8cB which may culminate In all sorts of unforeseen vnB. 'Women demand Federal action ro hlbltlng the present Indefensible dis franchisement on the ground of sex. tf the struggle of women for the vote lasts much longer, It will engender a bltter ncrs between men and women which will take many cnrs to overcome. It Is verj undesirable that this spirit among Ameri can women should be permitted to grow and spread. Hut wherever Injus'lce ex ists thi're must be resentment." Mrs. Benedict declares that "women employes of the Government are discrim inated against nil along the tine. Of 21 pending civil service examinations, all but two are closed to women." The situation In England for women workers has changed with a remarkable suddenness, and this, of course. Is due tu the nr. Men have had to throw up their positions by the thousands, and no one Is theie to take their places un less the women come forward. The war In Europe Is not merely an Infernal war. It Is and will eventually In many re spects bo the greatest, revolution social order has ever known. Nothing less than I a revolution has come about already with regard to women's work, p.iy and pros pects. The country, the world, have not fts yet fully grasped the magnitude of the change that even now Is taking place. But tho change has arrived, nevertheless, and no one can possibly foresee how It Smart Fashions at the Devon Horse Show What Milady Wears A kaleidoscopic stream of prett wo men with their attendant cavaliers thronged the opening of tho Devon Horse Show yesterday and paraded around while the band plased and the sun shone and the horses trotted. Alt the world nnd his wife were arrayed In their brightest, and against the brilliant background of early summer green the whole color ef fect was delightfully harmonious. The. newest styles In feminine fashion were to the fore, and every branch, from Sft-acvcrely tailored trotteur to the dress iest of afternoon toilettes, was adequately leprcsented. All the varieties of riding habit were, of course, In evidence, the sklrtless cos tume with long coat and breeches being popular. In dressy gowns taffeta was much seen, one very smart lady wearing a striped black and white skirt In this material and a little coatee entirely black. Another particularly attractive toilette was of purple taffeta and chiffon skilfully combined, the chief trimming consisting of rows of buttons oddly arranged. Navy blue taffetas, with the fashionable neckpiece of white fox, looked exceed ingly smart, and several of these wera worn In conjunction with small turbans of the same shade, trimmed cither wlfu white wings or with white flow.ra. One particularly smart woman wore a black and white check taffeta skirt with a short serge coatee, and a wonderful pelt of satin varjlng In color from yellow to purple. The checks were decidedly largo and gave great chic to the gown, whilii a smart feather collar completed the little coat. A large black hemp hat in the popular sailor shape was worn with tins. and a veil of black laco added distinction, Corduroys were flourishing on every side, their practicability and lightness of -weight rnnrtering them peculiarly useful at this season. One charming suit was of CHILDREN'S CORNER A Pansy's ONE lone pansy opened a bright pur ple blossom and looked around to' see what this world was like. Naturally he wondered, for all the time he had been at work, making petals, forming his seed box and getting ready to open, he had heard the roots and the leaves talking about the garden world. He had heard about the sky and the trees and the birds. 10 It was no wonder that he wanted to ee all the wonders for himself at the very first minute lie could. He first looked at the sky. The sun was shining with all his early morning splen dor. Punbeans ran hither and yon through the garden and the air wan golden ana warm. "I like the sky Just as they said I would." said the pansy bloom thought fully Now I wonder what the rest of the world is like?" ..,.. He turned from the sky and looked at the trees that stood all round the garden. The branches swayed softly In the morning breeze. The tips of the branches showed green and je'low and the whole, tree looked "springy" and beautiful Ai the sunshine. "J don't know which I 'like best," the pausy said to himself. i "I wouldn't have thought there would 14 two such lovely things-sky and trees , Th'Jt he turned his head t little lower. ll pansles do, and looked round the ilr "-- "- -- - i leaves, Krowltig things and oh! so many i Interesting things!

Women of every rank are eager to take their share In the war. At a great meet ing In London hundreds of women came forward and asked If they couldn't en list. Many asked to get Into the rtojal Army Medkal Corps and the Army Serv ice Corp to do nctual army work In tho great struggle In France and Belgium 'There must be Innumerable things I could do at the front," declared one wealthy notlety woman, with great eager ness, "t could carry food for the lighting men, prepare their meals In field kitchens, make bandages nil sorts of things. I'll do nnj thing, so long as I am truly help ing." In the engineering nnd armament lac torles In the Cljde district of Scotland, hundreds upon hundreds of women havo Inkon the place of men and arc busy with the manufactuie of shells and other explosives. The work Is being most ef ficiently carried on, too. The women have not the least desire to take the work away from the men, nor to do any man out of his Job, nor lo reduce rates of pay All they want to do Ik lo he allowed to help, and this they a-e doing splendidly. The revolution that has come, that Is coming still more. Is not due to woman's seeking to outdo, or In any way to put aside, man. It la a revolution which has been forced on woman, but Its final effects and tremen dous outcome will be none the less for thnt. It only needed this great war to b'lng out all that Is best In the womankind of every nation. For the women of every nation nrc working as they havo never worked before, and are at the same tlmo passing thiough a great time of anxletv and suspense. And all of these go to the development of character. pale blue corduroy In Norfolk stvle. the .vouthful effect being enhanced by a Jaunty little belt of white suede and a small white turban. Another exquisite suit was of white cor duroy fashioned with Innumerable pocK ets, the skirt of course boasting two larR.i patch pockets and cut almost 10 Inches from tho ground. White linen mir ratine s-iiits looked cool and fresh In conjunction with the Inevitable overcoat of corduroy In weave rather heavier than that of tho costumes S-veial little maidens of the "flapper" persuasion presented a delightful color scheme with coats of corduroy. All wore white skirts, white shoen and stockings nnd ns for the coats, one was bright yel low, another palest blue, a third emerald giecn. and several the whole gamut of losy hues, rink corduroy certainly looks delightfully pretty and Is becoming to al most every woman, as the material seems o soften all harshness of color or crudity of tone. Check suits were of varying size In pat tern, the very striking pattern and the very quiet pattern being duly represented These looked most attractive In Nor folk style, which, of course, lends a youthful air to the wearer. Panama hats or the new little turbans of shiny straw looked equally well with these ault. Speaking of Panamas, a very pretty girl wore one with a trimming of Fiench blue rlbhon and mh France rose. Her silk sweater of delicate blue was worn with a white skirt, and the whole effect wus delightful. One exquisite gown was of Quaker gray silk with small pink roses ornnmentlng the skirt and bodice. A wonderful capo with flowing lines was worn over this, the bottom turned In with floyver-llke effect. Cretonne-covered hats form the very last word In headwear, and these were club represented, the patterns being much the same as those usually found In chintzes. The new summer styles are particularly becoming and youthful. At the same time they are so varied that every one Is suited and can find something which Is modish yet appropriated to one's Individual type. First Day p.ins didn't quite understand that How could he when he lived all the time In his home; when he couldn't'go anywhere even If he wanted to, and when he surely didn't want to go away from the roots and leaves of the plant? At last all his new-found friends were gone away. Darkness brooded over the once bright garden and the pansy was afraid, He snuggled down close to the roots of the plant: he tried to hide under the leaves; but he couldn't. A pansy bloom Is too big to lilae down tight where the tiny bud once lived! And all the while the darknesB grew deeper, and the pansy was more and more afraid. Finally he called out in his fear, "Won't somebody stay with me? I'm afraid in this big new world of darkness! Won't somebody stay with me?" Out of the darkness a soft voice answered, "Don't be afraid. I am coming to keep you company, I am coming to stay with you." Across his upturned face the pansy felt a warm moist caress nnd was no longer afraid The rain drops had come.

While the other women leaned from the windows of the tenement nnd Kosslned, or hung clothes across the court nnd qunireled over tho length of line, Mis. McOInnls went quietly niout her own business without n word tn any of them Indeed, some of her neighbors looked nl her with nwe, for In a tenement vvheie everything Is known the news soon spread Hint Mrs McOInnls went out by tho dnv to wash for peo ple who moved In high circles of society. Her onlv nrnr rival In this was Mrs O'Shnuntssv, who appeared one Sunday In a red plush hot nodding with green plumes The following weelt Mrs. M: tllnnls went to church In n pink nntlti wnlst that had once been the bodice bf n reception gown. It was claborntoly trimmed with chiffon nnd artificial lose buds, and had elbow sleeves which ills- plavrd Mrs McGlnnls' muscular nrum, ruddy from much contnet with strong suds Yet If there wns nnythlng ludicrous In the picture she presented she wan en tirely unconscious of It, and the gorgeous ness of her npparcl settled her supremacy ns n lender of fanhlon. One evening Mrs rtcRlnnls came homo with n larger bundle than usual. "Shiire, It's a whole new wardrobe we'll be hav ing," she snld, breathlessly. 'Tm tint excited I can hardly cut the HlrlnRi. Here's waistcoats for ye. Pat, nnd soino neckties nnd a folnc silk hat. Fnlx, ou'll look lolkc the Mayor himself In It! And here's n dress for me. Bilk lined It Is, too Oh, It's myself thnt will tu.iko n fine rustle when 1 pass thnt O'Shnun essy woman! And maybe there's a waist to go with It." "Is It this ye mean?" snld Pat, nnd he held up nomethlng that neither of them had noticed a small black velvet suit, with lace cuffs nnd n wide Inee collar. There weie little black silk stockings, too. and patent leather slippers, with gilt buckles. Mrs. .McGlnnls looked nl the outfit speechlessly. "Ye might sell It," said her husband. "Indeed, and I'll not," snld Mrs. Mc Glnnls. "Ye can give It to Mrs. O'Shnuncssv. then," hnznrded Pat. 'Twill fit one of her youiigsteis. i "Is It out of jour mind you are?" cried , Mrs. McGlnnls. "To think I'd bo giving this suit to the lolkrs of them. What I would her red-hentlcd spalphecns bo doing with n lace collar nnd cuffs, I'd lolke lo . know?" And Mrs McGlnnls snorted In dignantly. To her mind these clothes were mennt for n princeling, and none but a princeling would wear them. With morning came a resolve which she did not sec lit to Impart to Pat, and by noon she set resolutely off on her quest, carrying a letter from tho priest in one hnnd nnd dress suit case In tho other. The Sister at St. Margaret's Or pl'.in Asylum wns accustomed to many startling requirements, lint surely nono were ever more astonishing than Mrs. McGlnnls' demand for a boy to fit a black velvet suit' As to his age or par entnge. Mrs. McGlnnls did not seem to enrc. So long as the suit fitted, that was r II she asked. Then followed a strenuous half hour for some of the little orphans. There, wero many boys of assorted sizes. There I wero thin boys and fat boys, dark boys and fall boys, but a good lit seemed hopeless. Mrs. McGlnnls watched the pro ceedings with a troubled eye. "Look at him," Bho would wall. "He's thnt chunky! He'll be bursting the scams If he moves an Inch!" or again, "Dogging your par don, 'tis no bean polo I'm after want ing!" She tried two moro nsjlums with no better results. Despair settled down upon her. Wns the surprise she had planned for Mrs. O'Shaughncssy never to bo? Must she go home baffled nnd defeated, and give up all hope of the sensation she had planned to create? And a deeper feel ing than all these tugged at her heart. Tho world seemed so full of children, nnd there was not even ono for her! A sob rose In her throat as she began to fold up the velvet suit "I'll be laving you with many thanks." she said huskily to the sister In charge, "for there's not wan of them that fits the suit at nil, at all!" And even as she spoke there appeared before her the vision of her last night's dream blue-eyed and with crisp curls of gold only this child was dressed In a checked gingham plna foro Instead of velvet. The child smiled engagingly at Mrs. McGlnnls, who felt a great wave of love and longing sweeping over her. Such n bioth of a boy! Here at last was ono who would fit not only the velvet suit, but a niche that had long been vacant In her henrt "What Is your name, dear?" said Mrs. McGlnnls, tenderly. "Norah," said the child. It was not at nil the answer Mis. Mc Glnnls had expected, and the good woman gasped, Hut there was a wistful sweet ness about the child which wus not to be resisted. Tho love-light of awakening motherhood shone In Mrs. McGlnnls' eyes. "Will you be my little gurrll, darllnt?" she whispered. The night .that Norah finally arrived, Pat was as delighted ns his wife. He thought he had never seen n "prettier little colleen." The next morning was Sunday and the McGlnnises entered church somewhat late. Pat In the lead, wearing n tall silk hat an'd stepping very Jauntily, Mrs. McGlnnls next, moving with a notable rustle, nnd by her side a beautiful little girl whose black velvet coat, heavily trimmed with lace, was the admiration of alt beholders. It was a. day of triumph for Mrs. McGlnnls. She beamed on the whole world. She even beamed on Mrs. O'Shaunessy when they met face to face on the church steps. "The top of the morning to you. Mrs. O'Shaunessy," quoth Mrs. McGlnnls, it's well you're looking this fine day, and all your family. Shure, It's a large one, there's no denying itl But (with a glance of pride at Norah) It's myself that has always preferred quality to quantity!" (Cop right. 1015.)
