New York Cotton.

New York. July 2O.-The cotton market was
more active today. but generally lower and
irregular. At one time there was consider
able covering and little investment buying.
This was due to less uniform crop news and
to the increased sales of spot cotton In the
Liverpool market, where the business aggre-
gated 21.00O today. giving color TO the claims
of parties who had been cabling eneouraging
news. Local bears of the more conservative
class felt inclined to even IN deals. rearing
that selling for snort account had been over
done in the face OF persistent bull reports
from many important localities OF the cotton
belt indicating damage by floods insects and
drouth Our market after opening steady at
decline OF 3d5 points and further de-
clining lG3 points. showed something of a
rallying tendency. The upward movement
was held in check by claims that the cotton
crop in the Atlantic States would be much
benefited by good rains OF the previous night
There was some selling on such reports. but
tho bears showed misgivings as to the sound
ness of their position on the market owing
to uniformly bad reports from Texas. as
we'll as from more sections of the cotton
belt. Investment buving was well distributed
through the dav. but caution was generally
observed In making new ventures on the long
side of the account pending further indica-
lions from Liverpool as TO the foreign spot
demand The market closed steady at 6d1
points net lower.

SCIENTIFIC LIGHTING.
Men Who Are Experts at This Sort Of
work Are Now Regularly En-
plOYed by Architects.

AS. people are gradually coming to
e.realize that hot and badly ventilated
rooms mean debility and eventual sick
ness, the ''ventilating engineer" has
taken his place on the staff on which
the architect relies for-the carrying out
of his designs in dwelling construction.
Side by side with this improvement in
the hygienic conditions of the interior
of houses has arisen a new conception
of the esthetic possibilities of artificial
light, and in the creation of the modern
houses of the wealthy classes the Light
artist" has. become a very important
parsonage.
a weIl-known light designer talks en-
tertainingly on the subject. He COM
pares light with happiness, which is all
a matter of contrast, and must be treat
ed accordingly. He tells how Alma
Tadema, in London, has a small door
to hissatrium, in order that its size may
be the more felt on entering; so must
the degree of light be graduated
throughout the building. On entering
a di1nly-lit hall from the dark it APP

| one of the frivolities of the season that
scarcely leave you car fare out of a
hundred-dollar bill.
All summer wraps are made of deli
cate, light materials. They are mosxly
for show, and the fancier they are built,
the better.
This very pretty cape was exhibited
a few days ago by leading modiste.
1t is developed in dotted Dresden silk of
turquoise blue, with the figures in dark
green. The cape was trimmed around
the edge with ruff1e of spang1ed tulle
| set over another ruff1e of turquoise silk.
The lape1s are of dark green silk,
bordered with a heavy ruching of white
chiffon with fancy edge. A row of the
ruching is arranged over the shoulders
and across the back to form round
yoke.
The collar is high, rolling Medici
of Dresden silk. lined with numerous
ruffles of pale blue chiffon. The cape
is lined with blue silk and fastened with
jeweled clasps.

STUDY IN HAT TRIMMINGS.
How They Are Arranged Upon tho
New, Soft Effects In Sum-
mer Headgear.

A New York man who is famous for
HE wit said the other day that the mil
liners must gather their floral hat trim
mings from gardens created specially
for their use, for in all his botanical re-
search-and this particular branch of
study is one of his hobbies-he has
never come across any records of the
specimens which nowadays adorn fash
ionable headgear.
And one is inclined to take his state
ment seriously when one sees the won
derful creations which my lady wears.
The idea of draping the brim of sum-

4 Woman's Life Should Not Be ALI
Rush and Hurry II She Wants
to Be Truly Happy.

The word duty in the mouth of the
ordinary woman is synonymous with
discomfort. The secret of happiness
consists in looking upon what one must
do in this world as the pleasantest
thing life offers. 1t is only another
case of the point of view. The people
who stay young longest and who are
most attractive, whether young or old,
are those who do things that they ought
to do, not from a sense of duty, but be-
cause it is a pleasure.
The woman who stays up at night to
nurse n sick friend or to finish a dozen
shirts for the heather because duty
alone prompts her, while it is a weari-
ness of the flesh only sustained by the
concentrations of conscience, is doing
herself and the relative or the heather
| wrong. She is dragging through task
which is repugnant to her, and she
shows in her face before many years
have passed lines indicative of unneces-
sary worry.
Contrast with the nervous, hurHed
woman the wholesome, red-cheeked
matron who ''takes things easy" 1t is
not necessary to neglect home or hus-
band to do this, for she does quite as
much in her way as the woman who is
| always rushed to DEATH" The one
who lives by conscience feels that she
must do by her neighbors as they do
by her, and consequently her friends
receive invitations to dine at her house
even when they find the hostess in a
state bordering in nervous prostration.
She must return the Inequalities she
has received at any cost, and if her in
come is limited she will make up the
deficiency by overwork and overworry.
Her friends know this, and it is trial
for them to dine at her house. It is
absurd to say that one hasn't time to
take care of ones self or must not offer
poorer fare than one receives Chicago

pears brilliant; but this, again, must
be eclipsed by the light of the recep-
ton rooms. So there should be-. as in
a good photograph, light and daSk por-
tions, and semitones, for a room lit
equally throughout gives fiat effect,
and is neither artistic nor restful It
should not be forgotten that the pupil
of the human eye has considerable
power of expansion and contraction;
and in the presence of bright light
an involuntary contraction takes place.
Reading under such conditions is de-
structive to the eye. Frost your lamp,
and, though you get actually ten per
cent. less light. you get apparently
more, for it is diffused. = ST. Louis
