A POINT IN
ETIQUETTE
ABOUT YOUR WORK
.0!“ a woman. either, to look at
the whole World through the
eyes of his profession. But this
leads to narrow-mindedness. for
even the best of professions only
encompass a narrow sector of the
world's interests. If you were al-
ways to associate with persons of
your own profession or members
of their families this might be all
right. But since you must meet
and talk with others of other call-
ings it is wise to stretch your out-
look a little or you will make
yourself unpopular.
The army man or the wife of
the army man regards army oili-
cers and their families as consti-
tuting the aristocracy of the coun-
try. Then you meet a man in the
navy or the wife of a navy ofiiccr
and she shrugs her shoulders at
the army people. The navy is
rather more exclusive. she re-
marks. College professors and
their families are apt to regard
themselves as more intellectual
than other people. They look at
the man in business as possessing
inferior brains because he has de-
voted them to building up a pay-
ing business rather than to
scholastic study and research. He
looks upon magazine and newr
paper writers as shallow. pander-
ing to popular taste—and the pop-
ular writer in turn looks on the
professor—or is apt to—as some-
thing of an old fogey. lacking in
knowledge of the world. The man
in Wall Street. no mat-tor what
his position. regards himself as a
budding financier—a possible
money king. and to be a money
king, thinks he. is to hold the
ropes that pull the world.
11' is a natural falling for a man.
i This_ at least. is the attitude of
many persons in many professions.
isn't it true of yourself to a cer-
:tain extent? Don't you look at
the other man's kind of work as
inferior to your own? Perhaps
you do this only occasionally and
probably you do not let this atti-
tude interfere with yOur social
conduct toward other people. But
beware of letting this attitude
dominate you. And remember
that the men at the top of any
profession or calling are usually
the ones who best realize the limi-
tations of that calling or pro-
fession.

THE AFTERWHILES.
My dad was queer about some
things: I
I never heard him worry much
That other people lived like kings
While we had little such and such.
I used to think our lot Was hard
Because there wasn’t much in
sight:
He said I wouldn't afterward—
And he was right.
For. looking backward down the
years,
I seldom think of what we had.
I Just remember smiles and tears,
And things like that—and mostly
dad.
I don't remember we were poor:
1 don't remember who was rich:
I can't remember now for sure
Just which was which.
You Just remember Joys and pains
You had together. that is all:
Some simple memory remains
That makes mere money mighty
small.
I Just remember tears and smiles.
The rest is lost to sense and sight.
Dad said those made the afterwhilss.
' And dad was right.

Think more of love. and less of laws.
Of what you do. and loss of why;
Good is not good if done because
To follow rules is all you try.

Obedience as much admires
As deeds arising out of love
That. no divine reward desires.
Lian needs’ no law but his own heart.
A longing for the common good:
To walk together. not apart.

Monks and Prslatsa Contribute to
the New Node.
ONKS and Mars of old who
went about in coarse hooded
gowns certainly never dreamed
that they were approving habits
that would. centuries later, serve as
the inspiration for yain‘ women's
clothes. That habit seemed the
barest. least ornate contrivance with
which man might cover himself.
But its very simplicity and austerity
make it good.
Late last winter one of the best
known of much dressmakers made
the frock called “rcligieusa,” with
cowl-like neck line. wide conventual
sleeves and a cord belt suggestive
of the rope worn round the waist by
many or the orders of nuns and
monks Lanvln quite recently has
made use of the hood idea in a
blouse of gray crepe de chine. shown
in the sketch. The hood is em-
broidered in blue and silver. The
frocks called “religiousc.” however,
were more consistently monkish.
They were made of black or brown
crepe, sans any sort of trimming—
certainly nothing so gorgeous as
silver and blue embroidery, .
Not only the humble brothers and
sisters of the church have been
:iadc to lend inspiration for fashion.
Bishops and archbishops, cardinals
and popes have also unwittingly
contributed to the season's diversity
of styles.
Prediction is made that for the
coming fall and winter, rich and ex-
quisite embroideries are to be used
and these embroideries are often
spoken of as possessing the richness
and splendor of old ecclesiastical
embroidery actually was used. There
are some women who like this sort
of thing. They buy avidly of the
imported sets of hat and Jacket
Loscts makes a blouse of gray crepe

t
made from old. old calico quilts
lured for gold from French attics—
but most women prefer not to be
museum showcases.
So you will probably not wear real
ecclesiastical embroidery, but you
will. no doubt. wear frocks showing
that designers and dressmakers and
fabric makess and trimming makers
have been going back studying the
beauties of old chasubles and stolen
for inspiration.
Incidentally they have brought
some of the colors with them from
their searching. BishOp purple is a
name you will doubtless hear very
often. in clothes discussion before six
months more have rolled by, and
cardinal red is already a frequent
choice.

period. Look through any fashion
platen put on between 1850 and 1860
and see how many hows you can
count—and how few gowns without
any bows.
Now they speak of the “revival of
the bow,’f Just as if every one knew
that more bows were being worn
now than a year ago. The return
of the bow no doubt may be traced
partly to the very much increased
interest in ribbons and to the in-
cipient interest we have been taking
in the mode of the Second finpire
Period.
Though ribbons doubtless had
something to do with it. it is inter-
esting to see that not all bOWs are
tied with ribbons. Often indeed
ends of the material of the gown are
tied in bows purely decorative or
partly useful.
The sketch shows a frock of plain
and printed crepe do chine trimmed
with little bows of the material.
The fashion observer always looking
for historical precedent in all new
turns 0.1ashion may trace this ten—
dency to place bows directly in the
middle of the front to the Second
Empire period when the same
symmetrical arrangement was usual.
But we are not always so sym-
metrical in our use of bows. Some-
times an enormous bow made from
a ribbon sash is tied over one hip
and left there to give the silhouette
a sort of a lop-sided effect quite
contrary to the primness that was
of the Second Empire.

Permanent wash stands set up

You become to the house yourself.
One young woman whose dream

covered that she could have a
buffet built in her dining room
that would come up to her high
standards of practicability and
real beauty for forty dollars.
What sort of buffet could she buy
for that amount?
Built-in furniture is especially
desirable in the children's rooms
and in the nursery. Shelves of
drawers that are part of the wood
work offer much space and few
crevices for the collectior of dust.
A low, fairly broad window seat
in the children's room or nursery
will do away with most of the
chairs.
