the general speculative conditions and
the market retained the flavor of pro-

evident. The trading was of a retail
character, with a sagging tendency
throughout, although evidence of sup

Then there is the masculine fool. 1t
is Ia she. Nature created it woman.
Folly is making it initiate man, with
the result that a hybrid is reached.
TigAt-fitting skirts, shirt collars and
shirts like ones brother, coats made
as near like a mans as possible, sail
or hat in summer and a stiff felt one
in winter, may make an imitation of
maa. but it is a pretty poor one.
Women don't want it loose around the
house, it is too much like a man; men
don't want to trouble themselves with
it, since it is neither man nor woman.
It's hereafter? Well, it will probably
be thrown among a lot of athletic
sinners, who viii jeer at it for being
