Women in Business.
' In nearly all executive positions
women excel. It is curious that the
sex, after so many years of intellec
tual seclusion, should have practical
qualities strongly developed. But It
eeenis to me that there are only two
'things in which the business woman
, Is apt to fail. One of these is in
working with other women, the other
is In her Inclination to play tricks
,wlth her nervous system by having
Irregular meals of unwholesome food
and neglecting to take exercise.

'ff Blind Girl's Earnings;
Miss Cora Crocker, a deaf, dumb
and blind girl, has surprised her
teachers in the workshops of the
Massachusetts Commission for the
Alind, in Cambridge., by the quick
ness with which she has mastered the
Intricate machinery of her loom and
thejeauty and delicacy of her work.
Bhe has only just passed her twenty
first birthday and has been under the
care of teachers for a comparatively
short time, yet she weaves the most
delicate fancy articles, dainty colored
designs. She is said to be the only
person so afflicted who has ever suc
ceeded in doing such beautiful work.
.There are several blind women work
ing in the same shop who do good
work, but she is the only one who
can neither speak nor hear. Her
earnings, it is said, of more than
$20 a month are steadily Increasing.

f k Cross-Stitching Hints.
! If each stitch is not crossed in the
same direction the effect will be poor.
It is always better to work as much
as possible in a straight line, so that
each stitch may receive its tension
from the same direction.
Cross-stitching is well adapted to
table and magazine covers, the mark
ing of linen, soft pillows, floor cush-
I J1ia and bags of all kinds.
A Red and white and blue and white
llnen are the favorite materials for
these articles when decorated with

be confused with the checked ging
ham embroidery of a few years ago.
- It is quite different in appearance,
the heavy linen, with Its lustrous
finish, giving a strong, artistic back
ground for the cross stitch, which in
itself has a crude beauty peculiarly
adapted to the purpose in view. New

As they all recognize the need of
fresh air in Washington, as else
where, if they wish to retain their
health, many high-placed dwellers
in the capital give several hours a
day to exercise in the open. The

hours daily, no matter how pressing
public affairs may be. Mrs. Roose

In walking, driving or superintend
ing her flower garden. Almost all
the Washingtonians In official life
i recognize the need of the daily prome
nade. Many are seen In business
streets In the morning, going on
household errands. Mrs. Knox, Mrs.
Garfield and Mrs. Cortelyou make
many of their calls on foot. Indeed,
4U1 Washington takes every excuse
for walking. Any bright morning the
stranger may see Mrs. Roosevelt, her
handsome young daughter and many

? Women as Councillors. '
tin the first occasion on which
ladies have been eligible to sit as
municipal councillors their success
at the polls has hardly been as pro
nounced as some of those who have
worked so hard to secur sm tfcs
right were inclined to anticipate.
Still, when it is considered that only
spinsters or widows could stand and
that 4n several instances bqroughs
were being served by well-tried and
fully trusted members of long stand
ing, there is perhaps no reason to
feel otherwise than satisfied.
Notable among those who have
been returned is Miss Dove, who
headed the poll at High Wycombe.
She is an advanced educationalist,
who for some years past has been
head mistress of Wycombe Abbey
School, with about 200 young ladies
in residence under her care.
Another striking success is that
of Miss Merivale at Oxford. She is
a daughter of the late Dean Merivale,
the historian, and her candidature
enjoyed the support of many leading
members of the university. She will
take her seat as an Independent, and
education is a strong point with her.
This, too, figured prominently in the
campaign of Miss Sutton, who was
returned unopposed at Reading. Mrs.
Woodward at Bewdley was also
spared the troubles of any contest,
as was Mrs. Garrett Anderson at
Aldeburgh. In Scotland the ladles
were less successful. Pour came for
ward and none have been returned.
It is significant that Lady Steel was
rejected at Edinburgh, for she has
been among the most militant of suf
fragists, even to "passive resistance"
as to paying her rates and taxes, and
the rebuke may be taken to heart
by those who think noisy methods
are approved by the majority of their
sisters. London Telegraph.
Lips to Be Red.
Ltps will be of a deep rich red this
season. Hips, as a topic, have had
their day, and despite all the dictates
of Panquln, women seem to be as
hlpless or "hipful" as they were be
fore. The prophets could make only
conjectures in regard to hips. It re
mained to be seen what the New
York . woman would do. But the
writer has seen the Hps, and unlike
all talk about hips, can say that the
deep rich red is the latest fad. The
majority of the women whose Hps
looked as though done with pure
crimson madder from the tube were
beyond the klsslns age. One saw
them not In hundreds but certainly
by the dozens at the Manhattan
Opera House recently. One would
never have concluded that they had
neither chance nor inclination for
kisses, had they not all been so cross
to their husbands, as they entered,
and when there was any little un
certainty about finding seats. One
wondered if they had any children
at home who expected a good night
kiss after "Now I lay me," and the
"God bless popper'n mommer"
prayer. With crimson madder Hps,
the face is usually pure white, with
out rouge, and in the majority of
cases was as powdery as a freshly
s-rared cruller. Entering the Met
ropolitan Opera House, there is not
such a strong cruel light, and both
powder and lip rouge are absorbed
somewhat in an hour, or often less.
At the Manhattan, on .he other hand,
many of the women enter the hcuse
through the doors jusi in back of the
orchestra. Hero there is a clear, cold
light; nothing crimson and kindly
as there is at the Metropolitan. Even
tft unshaved Sicilians among the
standees looked with amazement at
these white-faced women with bright
red lips. Some of the innocents
among the mere men imagined they
were members of the chorus who had
entered by the wrong door. Brook

New York City. The pretty,
dressy waist that can be opened at

en are searching, and here is a model
that includes that feature while it is
eseentlally smart and attractive. In
this case It Is made of Nattier blue
cashmere wlthi trimming of taffeta
and chemisette of cream colored lace,
but It will be found charming for
Bilk and wool materials and for al
most everything seasonable. It Is
peculiarly well adapted to the entire
gown, for which voile, henrietta
cloth, wool batiste and tho like are
desirable, while it also suits the odd
blouse admirably well, and utilized
in this way is admirable, both for the
plain and plaid taffetas, and also for
the thinner and lighter embroidered
nets and chiffons that are so much
in vogue. The little ve3t portion is
a feature and an attractive one, and
sleeves can be made longer or shorter
as liked. ,
The waist is made with a fitted
lining, which is closed at the centre
front, and itself consists of fronts,
back, chemisette and vest portions.
The fronts and the backs are tucked
and the vest portions are attached to
the front edges. The collar finishes
the neck and the closing is made in

full sleeves are finished with roll
over cuffs, and are arranged over
fitted linings, which are faced to
form the detfp cuffs when long sleeves
are desired.

Girl's French Dress.
The French, or long waisted, dress
Is always becoming to the younger
girls, and is so pretty and graceful
that it is a very general favorite.
This one can be made adapted to
party and dancing school wear or to
everyday use as one material or an
other Is chosen and as one trimming
or another is used. As illustrated
the frock is a dressy one made with
short sleeves and the material is fine
white lawn with trimming of em
broidery, but In tho bnck view It is
shown made from bright red veiling
with frills of ribbon and becomes a
very much more durable, everyday
garment. For the more dressy frocks
white is always charming, and the
younger children wear washable ma
terials at all seasons, but for the
slightly older girls cashmere or veil
ing In such colors as pale blue and
pink are much to be commended with
tho trimming of ribbon and the yoke
of some pretty ringer!" material or a
simple lace or embroidered net. For
everyday wear dark colored cash
meres and veilings are given prefer
ence over everything else.
" The dress Is made with the waist
and the Bkirt. The waist Is full and
is arranged over a fitted body lining,
which Is faced to form the yoke and
the pretty bertha conceals the upper

straight and is finished with two

THE MID-WINTER OUTING.
This is the time for the mid-winter outing. A dash of
summer in the midst of winter is an agreeable variation.
It makes for health and pleasure and stimulates vitality.
For the extended trip, Southern California, the fruit and
flower land of the Pacific coast, offers unrivalled attractions.
For the fortnight's trip, Florida, the summer garden of
the Northern winter, bids you come and enjoy its genial
sunshine, its tropical scenes and its out door life.
For the ten days' outing, Pinehurst, Camden, Aiken,
Augusta, Southern Pines, and other popular resorts in the
pine belt of the Carolinas and Georgia offer many induce
ments. For the short trip the week end outing Atlantic City
is always attractive. The same breezes that Jdepress the
thermometer in summer seem to keep it up in winter. It
offers greathotels on the ocean's edge, out-of-door life on
land and sea, and a climate full of snap but shorn of the
winter severity.
