The returns are enormous when a
brand of champagne is firmly estab-
lished, but it is slow and laborious work
to build up demand for a new wine.
Accident more often popularizes q brand
than design. The sudden terrific rush
for dry wines some Is years ago was
caused by q remark of the Prince Of
Wales, made casually in the course of an
after dinner chat. It was Immediately
pounced upon by the manufacturers of
dry wines. the world was informed of it
and their success was assured. But it
requires continual effort to maintain the
popularity of wine. There must be no
tagging.
Brands that were in great demand a
few years ago are now dropping out Of
sight. Only a few hundred cases are
sold annually. Others have come to the
front with remarkable strides, and their
sales run up in the thousands. AS many
as $4,000 cases of certain brand have
been sold in this country in one year at a
net profit to the agent of not less than
100000. Such a statement is enough to

Dress of Short Women.

Women who are short must avoid
much trimming on their skirts, be
they stout or slender, as they are
shorter in proportion from the waist tc
the feet, writes Emma M. Hooper,
in an article on Gowns For the New
Year." in The Ladies' Home Journal.
For the same reason they must omit
wearing large plaids and designs. All
full portions of the waist must be mod
crate In size, as the sleeves, bertha,
belt and vest. The short, wide revers
now worn are becoming, also round
waists and short, pointed basques. Jack
ct fronts are in good taste. but the UNI
brella back basques give short figure
a cut off appearance, as do tiny sapes,
while close fitting jacket adds ap-
parently several inches. Materials
must be selected with view to making
the wearer look taller.

A day or two ago there was a collision
and bad smash up on the Bowery Beach
route between the present mail carriers
team and the grocery team Of Stevens
& Elwell, all of the city. The mail team
and contents were badly shattered, sec
tions of the team being distributed over
a wide area of the road. A warm COLO
guy occurred between the drivers as to
the responsibility for the accident, in
which the mail driver demanded damag-
es, and threatened a suit at law to re-
cover the same.
The farmers are improving the superb

with the Mckinley law in full and I'M
