There nre home 700,000 store girls In the Ilrltlsb Isles, and the hopelessness of their lives and miseries they endure Is but little known to the average shop, per. At last these Ill-used nnd Ill-paid girls have found a champion, a young woman who for eleven long years endured en-dured the life of n London shop girl herself, nnd who, therefore, knows from experience the dreadful conditions condi-tions thnt exist, as n means of bringing bring-ing about a better state of affairs she has organized a great national union among the shop girls of England, which has already dono niucn to ameliorate amel-iorate conditions. Now she Is coming over here to study the Hie the shopgirls shop-girls of America and to organize nn American branch of the union. WINTER MILLINERY TRIMMINO. Among the novelties In trimming must be reckoned bands of white cocks feathers with little dabs of black here and there, having much the effect of ermine. It Is effective as a trimming for black silk hats; the band encircles the high crown and another pleco Is fashioned Into a single bow with n Jet black buckle In the centre. lints are now covered with the new feather tissue, which is made of ostrich os-trich tips either used alone or woven Into a foundation of nuirnbent. So far I have only heen them In black, tho prettiest i-pecliueii being one of nninzon shape; that Is to say, rolled up on both shies and entirely devoid of trimming save u bunch of cerise roses behind tho ear.

Th pretty fashion of cutting children's chil-dren's dresses low hi the neck with a white lnwn gulnipe Is u favorite ono this senson, snys tho New York Evening Even-ing Tost. The gowns hnvo half alcoves which show the whlto lawn sleeves of the guiinpe. Thero Is n dou. hie ndvnntage in this fasl.lnn.

The giiiiiip. s nr so inexpensive mat thry mny tie changed once a day or oftener, If necssry. Scotch palds nre used fr g.rl'c kcIioj) dresses In preference to almost any other material.

Plaid gowns should be trimmed With ve'vet bands ) or with plain cloth to rello'o the inu-notony inu-notony of the repeated pattern, and when the plaid Is not csp.clr.lly becoming be-coming near the face there should ho a yoke of the plain cloth, unli's-i the gown Is worn with a guliupa us de-s de-s :rlbed. WOMEN 15ARRKI). At a recent meeting of the faculty of the Sc.iool of Comparative Jurisprudence Juris-prudence and Diplomacy of Columhlnn Lnlverslty, Washington, D. C held recently. It was resolved, reports the Washington Stnr, that no woman should he admitted to the course lending lend-ing to the degree of muster of diplomacy, diplo-macy, it was nlso announced that this action win taken wholly without reference to t'- fitness or unlltncss of any female ...nllcnnt, but largely because of the fact that there Is no place in the diplomatic or consular service of the United State.-, for members mem-bers of the gentler sex. liir.siuucli, however, ns Mrs. Emilia R.

It Is believed that this action places a quietus on this now famous controversy, contro-versy, and likewise renders It Impossible Impos-sible for any woman (o hereafter compete com-pete for either of these high degrees. GROWS A MUSTACHE. Much nonsense is talked from time to time nbout the terrible effee s of athletic exercises for women, nnd lurid pictures are tot before us showing how man withers and woman grows more and more ln height, In length and ir.'cadth of feet, and In circumference of nnkle. Nov. It has been discovered thnt one of the penalties wnlch the modern woman has to pay for her love of outdoor exercises Is the growth of hair on the upper lip. Some genius lins traced a distinct connection between be-tween the now exi uislve practice of electrolysis and the popularity of golf, and gymnastic exercises; and pushing this theory a little further some ono else, doubtless, will announce presently pre-sently that the modern girl now includes in-cludes a set of razors as well ns a cigarette case among her pcrsonnl belongings. be-longings. I'crbaps tho truest Indictment thnt can be brought against, what Is loosely loose-ly culled the '..thletlc" woman, which menus the woman with a keen love for outdoor exercise, Is that she lm.irlnbly overdoes It. She rushes to extremes 0 and does lcnllmrdy things. If she con- ' lined herself to e..-erclses which nro suitable to her sex, with Its physical restrictions, nnd pursued tltem moderately, moder-ately, nothing would be said. Must women ride horsebirck, than which there Is no more violent or more masculine mas-culine exercise; but to ride to hounds wns a recognized pursuit of English Indies; even : i the days when fitlnt-Ing fitlnt-Ing wns de rlgueur and "vapours" were general women rode ns a matter of course. Rut nowadays we seem unable to do anything without making n "cult" of It, nnd nn exhibition ol ourselves, whereas If our girls Jiisl took their golf, their swimming, nnd tnelr gymnastic exercises In a itilel fashion, nthlctlcs for wo"icn would gc iiucondcmned.
