The stock market was very weak yes
terday for the opening of the week. The
result of the days business was a fall of
a point or more all over the list, with
one or two tumbles of even more than
this. There had been a, very strong ex-
pectation among financial people that
things would be better at the beginning
of the week. Matthew Marshall, in his
letter yesterday morning. pointed out the
reasons why he believed the money mar
ket would be easier and the stock market
consequently in better shape The large
gold importations and the fact that the
farmers have secured the money neces-
sary to move their crops and will not
drain New York further, were the prin-
cipal of these reasons. Other financial
writers were equally hopeful. These
views, however, were not borne out in
the trading of the first day in any way.
What may come later is matter of Ques-
ton. The American shares were strong
in London, and the opening on this side
was fairly. strong also, but Immediately

How Grace OF Carriage In womAn
Disappears N Soon ~ the Siue-
walk Becomes Wet.

You can never tell what . woman
looks like by gaslight; you can never
! tell what she walks like in dry weather.
When the sun is bright and the air is
fine she sails along the street serene
as May morning. People turn and
look at her and say: "How GRACEFUL"
But once let the winds blow and the
rains descend and the tune changes.
That tall, willowy figure which was SO
admired yesterday is transformed, too
often, into an animated angle, fearful

The test of a woman's grace is wet

skirts and walk lightly along sop
ping pavement she is graceful indeed.
wants to take off his hat and proclaim
her beautiful. A few women can do it
alas! too few.
Most of them walk as il on stills.
There is something about wet weather
that stiffens the ankles. takes the
spring out of the step and makes the
figure either lifeless or angular. And
then there is that ugly punching OF
skirts. If you want to be impressed by
human awkwardness, walk down the
street any rainy day and observe how
the women hold their skirts. Once in
awhile comes that serenely graceful
one, her skirts held free of the pave
ment, but without any clumsy folds,
and the mere man cannot see how she
does it. But in most cases the matter
is different One skirt is caught vicious
ly and dragged round on the right side,
so that from the lower left side right
up to the right hand there is one long.
woman would call it, as ugly as could be
imagined. Again the skirt is merely
bobbed up all round in some inexplic-
able way, SO that it punches out behind
like a hustle. Now and then some abb
sorbed lady persists in bobbing up the
dress in front, while behind it trails
happily in the water. Strangest of all
is that method of gathering the skirts
forward and making bunch of them
in front, so that the wearer must walk
as if on tiptoe, in little, mincing steps.
But the ways of taking wet weather
are almost as numerous as the people
who live in towns. A city street in a
shower shows the modern man and
woman almost at their worst. For.

then, men are so seldom graceful that

not matter. 1t is lovely woman van

LATEST TIRE TAPE.

More Hard Usage Than the
Old Tapes.

The object of this invention is to pro-
vide u tape which will not wear out al
quickly when in use as does the ordi-
nary tape. To attain this the tape is
made as follows: A narrow strip of cam
vas is coated on one side with a layer of
adhesive material in the same manner
as common tape. The other side of the
canvas is, however, supplied with lay
er of vulcanized rubber or other ma
terial which will stand wear. This
strip of rubber should extend over but
one-half of the width of the tape. In
using this tape it is wound about the
tire in the usual manner, forming .
spiral, the portion OF the tape which has
the vulcanized strip thereon being
wound SO as to lap over that portion

HANDY LITTLE DEVICE.
