lie reached a tall building that rose from
! corner, entered it, took the elevator to
he top floor. and paused at the open door
a great brillantly-lighted room. Facing
lie wall, on high stools, sat some dozens
girls, APPARENTLY playing games with
tegs on continuous brass checker board
hat extended around the room. The
iris had small round discs fastened to
heir ears, but hands free to place the
egs or ring up subscriber. 1t was the
aty telephone exchange.
Perhaps it was the free magnetism Of
aectricity of the place, or Billy's hypnotic
lance that made one girl turn her head,
'niie and gracefully slipping from the tall
tooi come quickly into the hall.
Billy narrated how he had just got
heater tickets, and exhibited them. The

Cu.bions for Verandas.

A group Of veranda cushions, which
are very affective, are Of white un-
bleached muslin, each one having a
windmill sketch painted In Prussian
blue oil colors. after a design on the
delft plate. The paint should be used
very sparingly to obtain the right
shade. a nearly dry brush being neces-
sary for the soft clouds and back
ground. Another group OF cushions
covered with apple green and pale sky
blue denim have designs printed upon
them In pure white.

Shoe or Stocking.

Some little French-Canadian children
were discussing a very important matter
with some of their Yankee neighbori
from 'over the line"
The French children are in the habit
of putting their shoes on the hearth In
stead Of hanging up their stockings, or
the night before Christmas, and the little
Vermonters naturally thought this 9
strange custom.
ANY way" said one Of the Canadian
girls, "shoes are a great deal nicer thaI
stockings to get bottles Of peffumefy In
because If it breaks and spdlls It cant
run out"

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.--The stock mar
Aes to-day was marked by q broader
movement than has been noted for some
time past. The opening WAS influenced
oy higher quotations for American Sc
curities In London. The strength of
the speculation received some impetus
from arrival of periodical rumors of an
Impending early settlement OF the Diff
Iefences between the leading anthracite
producing and carrying companies, in
volving the speedy rehabilitation of the
Reading properties. The Strength of
the market generally was maintained
up to the end OF the first hour when
realizations caused 9 decrease of per
cent. respectively in New Jersey Cen
trai and American Tobacco. The other
declines were fractional. The upward
movement was resumed about mid -dsy
ana with unimportans exceptions was
continued up to the close.
