A "Patching Bureau." Aii interesting instance of one of the many advantages arising put of tho coeducational, system of America comes trom the University of Missouri, where Bome enterprising woman student haa just organised a "patching bureau." This bureau; which undertakes to renovate the wardrobes of the bachelor professors .and male students at reasonable charges, will serve as a kind of employment bureau for needy women students working their way through the university, who by the aid of a .constant supply of sock-darning and button-sewing will be enabled to purchase books, and generally "ease up" their straitened circumstances. Women Clerks' Drew. ■ It was recently recorded that employers were taking up the question of the way in which girls in thoir offices clothe themselyes, and'reference was made to a firm which, drew; up rigid regulations respecting a thoroughly useful, neat, and S radical oo6tume for its employees. Some ifficulty was experienced in getting the young people,'to consent, until tho lady superintendent; intervened, and had one or two of the most rigid orders modified, .In • extraordinary, standard > of dress (says the "Daily Telegraph") has been allowed to permeate cettain ranks of workers in London, and this in spite of the strict rules pertaining to schools of every class. In the best schools the commands as to tho wearing of serge, clean blouses, collars, and suitable footgear are pioro strict than anywhere else.: Tho observance of those rules has been productive of excellent results, and its extension to many classes of women workers has already • been justified by the. approval even of those who at first opposed it. If some people are not guided by the dictates of good taste, thoyi must be disciplined into what is seemljr.' When ;women of'the professional class-have, with one instinct, dressed themselves in the simple and neat coat and skirt, with small hat and blouse, and have niade cleanliness their aim, it eeoms but' reasonable that typisbee should conform to,a similar law, although in their, case it has to be,a written one. Nurses, shop assistants, .waitresses, must all accept the rule of a distinctive garb.
