HER POINT OF VIEW.

Probably you are worrying about
what to give him on Christmas You
always have worried since he has en-
tered into your Christmas calculations
and doubtless will keep up the strug-
gle indefinitely. Last year it was q
sachet arrangement for his pajamas.
BY accident you have since learned
that he puzzled over ii for some time
and finally hung ii up near his chiffon
ier under the benighted impression that
it was some kind of a wall decoration.
The Christmas before you gave him
some silver things for his desk, all Of
which he keeps religously put away in
a drawer, together with an assortment
of rubber bands, the dark complexion
of the latter now harmonizing rather
closely with the silver articles.
The year before that? An. that was
the Old Blue Delft age. You wrought
with infinite care a bureau scarf (Which
he always called a lambrcuuin. The
average man calls most embroidered
articles, not intended for wearing an
parel either lambrequins or tidies) and
which he draped with considerable
mental disturbance over the mantel
holding ii in place with a tobacco lar
and, generally speaking, an old pair
of gloves and a very odorous pipe, with
occasionally a discarded collar by way
of garniture.
one time you spent many precious
hours in embroidering forget nots
on a pair of white suspenders. Your
undue pride in that gift was slightly
Clouded when you afterward discovered
that three other girls had been similar
ly moved toward the object of all this
toll on your part and had likewise be-
slowed on the same young man sus-
penders more or less identical in design.
varying only in the shading of the
flowers. 1t was always such a tantaI-
izing wonder which possessed YOU as
to whether he was wearing your eus-
penders or the other girls and, of
course, YOU could not well inquire. and
you felt deeply injured when your
brother casually remarked one day that
he expected to hear that Jack had com
mitted suicide by hanging himself with
his braces.
Why don't you give him sofa pi-
low and not waste any more concern on
the matter? Next Christmas give him
another; the last one will be soiIed
by that time; and. at any rate, if you
should ever marry him, you'll have the
sofa pillows. If he hasn't a chafine
dish he will enjoy that gift probably
more than anything else, and that, too.
will be handy to have in the house If
you should finally decide TO keep him
for life.

STOCK MARKET IRREGULAR.
Active Trader. Seek to RenliE'

Active Traders Seek to Realize
Profits at the Weeks Close
New York, Nov. 1S.-The general circum
stances and prospects of the day were
calculated to induce irregularity in the
stock market. Probably the most decisive
of these was the rather natural inclination
of active traders in the market to realize
profits at the close of the week. particu-
larry as tomorrow's short business ses-
sion would be concerned with the bank
statement and perhaps the final proceed
ings in the peace negotiations at Paris
There was nothing whatever that was
new in the days situation TO account for
the somewhat reactionary tendency of the
market, apart from the considerations
cited. The money market, particularly in
its call loan division, was unruffied, and,
not withstanding the general belief that
there will be further contraction in the
bank surplus reserves, better compre-
hension of the true probabilities of the
money market was evident. The most
trustworthy authorities on the money
market, namely, the executive officers OF
the city's great financial institutions, do
not expect materially higher rates for
money at any time, much as they would
like to see them.
The Northern Pacific stocks were the
weakest features of the railway list, and
the pressure there, together with the re-
ports attending il. was effective In de-
pressing the other transcontinental stocks
and, to some extent, the general market.
The reports in question were along the
lines that have been common talk Tor
some time, though they We're today some
what more explicit, and ii was stated that
recent efforts to reach common ground
of agreement as to the policy of extension,
etc. had been definitely abandoned.
The granger shares and the Southern
stocks, as well as the Pacific issues, were
reactionary, though no substantial losses
were made in the first two groups. In
the early dealings the anthracite shares,
under the lead of Delaware and Hudson,
suffered u characteristic stump, but eX-
cept in the instance named. where ru-
| mors respecting the dividend rate for the
| ensuing year were current, there was
nothing new bearing upon these stocks.

pressed the Federal Steel shares. Peoples
