silk sheets.

Silk sheets are an elegant caprice OF
women who find it difficult to spend
their income. They are usually of plain
white and hcmstitched, with the mon.
osram cipher along the hem. But
sheets of pale pink and blue are also
made with delicate line of embroidery
along the edge. The fancy is ono which
will probably be indulged only by the
favored few, and tsTcign, like that OF
silk lingerie, will be brief. Still, on
July nights, it must seem like sleeping
on cool cloud pillows TO dream between
the cool silllen web. If anything could
make n July night worth living, such
luxury Is calculated to accomplish IL.

BILE, two, three, sometimes five small
spectators will share in a five-share
lot.
THESE facts are not stated as evidences
of depravity nor as the basis for snccrs
at honest and laborious poverty; they
only tend to show that where people arc
unable to dig large holes to bury them
selves in they will dig small ones.
Another pitfall on the regular stock
market is the small margin system.
There are indeed advocates of this sys-
ten on the ground that where the mar
gin goes against you it is better to lose
or per cent. than or 10. And where

and then rally again to cost price or
above. In such case, with a proper
margin, he would not be injured but
with slim margin he has lost his total
investment.
AS a matter OF fact men who specu
late on small margins, . and 3per cent,
acquire reckless and unreasonable hab-
its OF dealing and degenerate into ac-
nai gamblers. They are almost certain
to be losers also, because the same odds
operate against them that we have seen
operating against the buclxet-shop play

margins the odds are 100 to rs; on . nc,.

10 per cent. margin has only odds of
> l-2 per cent. against him, with a fair
prospect in any ordinary condition of
the market Of not being sold ont for
want of margin. The man who puts mp
10 per cent. usually has another 10 per
cent. in reserve, which is almost sure to
carry him out in the end to profit.

fair enough; but tho customer is SO
intent on digging his own pit that he
fails to calculate the factors of the
game. The margin required is L per

out. Therefore when you lose dollar
you lose whole dollar; when YOU Twin

OF 100 to i75 are thus continuously

with actual odds of to against him.
The bucket shop customer may not be
familiar with this feature of the calcu-

zeal professors lay it down, and Mr..
Proctor mentions it in his treatise on
gambling, and the prosperity of the
bucket shops seems to bear it out as a
fixed truth.

: Wall street is full of pitfalls. Some
men dig these for others to fall into.
Frequently the scheme is succcssful:
sometimes the diggers miscalculate and
are trapped III their own pits. Then,
again, great many people, with the
best intentions as to promoting their
own interests, are ut great pains not
only to dig deep holes, from which cx-
traction is difficult, but also to slump
into them with great dcxterity and dis
patch when they are ready for occu-
pancy. Those who dig for their own
ruin are more numerous than those who
dig for the ruin of others, and, if pos
sible, they werls with more alacrity and
industry.
The people who come into that do
