LOCAL SECURITIES.
A Number of Unimportnnt Changes-strong
and Wenk Spots.


and Weak Spots.
AS compared with Saturdays prices the feel
ing in local securities was not SO strong yester-
day, small declines being in the majority. Still.
as showing that firm undertone existed, there
was no urgency to sell, and trading was OF
perfunctory character. Sales aggregated 1913
shares.
Philadelphia Gas was the leader in activity,
and closed at a fractional advance over the
opening price. A report of the annual meeting,
together with several others, will be found in
another column. Other stocks which made
gains were Bridgewater Gas, CItiZehs' Traction,
Pleasant Valley, Switch and Signal and West
lnghouse Electric, but the changes were for
small fractions
Stocks submitting to small concessions were
Central Traction, CHARTERS and Wheeling Gas,
and New York and Cleveland Gas Coal. The
rest of the list showed no departure from
former quotations.

He Changed His Mind,

Mr.. j. NJ. Hoeh denied yesterday in a
way not to be misunderstood, that he had
given 100 feet to the schenley park. He
made the offer some time ago in good faith,
but under conditions which, for reasons best
known by the city authorities, was not ac-
cepted. He thereupon withdrew the offer.
This change of purpose on the part of Mr..
Hoeh, involves series of circumstances,
the publication of which would make mighty
good reading. but in the interest of business
the story is withheld for the:present,

Claude Vignon was one of the most re-
markable women of recent years. The
first time l saw her was some twelve
years ago, when she used to sit in the
gallery of the chamber of deputies at
Observation-Disclosures had not returned
to Paris at that date-and throw off
newspaper letters for The Independence
Beige, the leading journal of Brussels.
She would write these letters in pencil
and send them off to Belgium at the end
Of each sitting. Her second husband, NJ.
Maurice Rouvier, who afterward became
prime minister, and is today minister of
finance, was then as he is now a deputy,
and used often to send up from the floor
to his wife in the gallery some important
bit of news which was incorporated in
the letter then under way, and appeared
the next morning in Brussels to be copied
into the Paris papers of the following
day. Everybody who knows anything
about French politics and journalistic
work admits hat this series of letters is
one of the best sen out from Versailles
during the stormy period of the founda-
ton of the Third Republic.
But Claude Vignon was not simply a
journalist. She wrote novels and dramas
and poems ahd-art criticisms, and was
above all an artist, a sculptor. She has
made busts of Theirs and her husband,
of La Fontaine and Canova; she is rep
resented at the Luxembourg by a fine
statue of a fisher boy pulling in his net;
she has executed several important or
ders for the state, and her work adorns
the public squares and edifices of Paris
and other French towns. The pretty
little house in the Passy quarter of this
city, in a quiet street near the fortiica-
tons, is decorated with her %sculptural
work both inside and outside. The first
time l called there l discovered the house,
having forgotten the number, by the bas
reliefs of Nine. Rouvier which adorn the
front.
Nine. Syamour is another female
sculptor of talent whose work is seen at
every salon. Syamour Is the sculptor's
art NAME, and, although 1 have frequent
ly been at her studio In a dreary little
street near the Louvre, / cannot for the
father vas and may be still, a deputy,
and she, growing weary of society, de-
termined to do something and become
somebody in the world. She had al
ways felt drawn towards art, so she
applied to Mercie, the famous sculptor,
and was admitted to his studio. One
day when l called on her in her large,
handsome studio, she was giving the last
touches to an excellent bust of NJ. de
Brazza, the Franco-Italian African ex-
plorer and rival of Stanley. She seemed
deeply interested in her work, and was
high in praise of the amiable qualities of
her sitter. 1t is just now announced
that they are to be married. NJ de
Brazza shows his good taste, for the
young sculptor is not only an artist of
talent, but a woman of real beauty, her
jet black hair, well nodded features,
smiling face and gentle render
ing her a most charming woman.

needs for one season even in society, and
these should be renewed zach year, and
made i'll the latest style of the day.
A great many persons always object to
any new fashion. They won't wear
c~rinoline, and they consider bustles u de-
formity, and they object to high shout
ders, and they don't like the new hats,
or the new fashion of wearing the hair,
and they sneer, and fuss, and laugh at
them all during their freshness and nov
city, and then at last come creeping in,
when everything is old and stale, with a
feeble and melancholy compromise, and
often end by wearing that especial thing
after everybody else has abandoned it.
No, let us adopt the new fashions while
they are new, say l, and lead rather than
follow the field, unless we are resolved
never to adopt any change at all, and in
that case better to don the Sister of
Charity's costum at once.
But if you would do this, if you would
really be stylish and abreast of the
mode, have few gowns at a time and do
not try to make last years gown answer

as not to be recognized, have it made
over, or give it to your sister, your cousin
or your aunt, but for yourself initiate
tho lilies of the field, who dress them
selves entirely fresh for every season.
And whatever you do with the old
gowns, let me implore you not to try to
wear them out at homel Any man is

cents a yard and make a fresh and pretty
house gown for less than IS, and in it you
will very likely convince you husband
hat you do absolutely need that new
bonneth he would be sure to deny to the
soiled dinner dress.
Then n final point upon which
most ~strenuously insist is this:

she never will be well dressed until she
has learned what it is, and learned to

sorry for her.
