COTTON.

New York. Nov 1.-The cotton market
opened steady with tone unchanged, prices
l to points advance. A nervous feeling
soon took possession of the leading trad
ers, owing to predictions of frost over the
southwestern section of the cotton belt.
Shorts commenced to cover quite freely,
and the market became excited. There
was little foreign buying and early or
ders from the South, also went generally
to the long side. But the market had
improved only two or three points over
the opening call prices when the local
selling movement set in because outside
speculation was very slack and not of
the buying sort. Prices declined points
from the best of the morning and the
market was finally steady at loss of
2 to ) points except on September con-
tracts which closed at S42 bid, against
S25 bid the previous day. The move
ment was smaller, but rainy weather in
the Southwest partly explained that fea-
ture. English advices finally showing a
partial decline of u on futures were
disappointing.

Things From DAD,

NEY YORK, Oct 9.--As general rule
think it Is bad judgment TO let any
body know that dress has been or
can bee made over. for If you do your
husband or your father will think that
you never need anything new. one
of the pre- Nest suits Of this season is
one that is not only made over, bur
made cut cl things which the average
woman throws away Let me tell my
friends about it, and it is just possible
that they can find a hint or two ia it.
In the first place, skirts are ample
around the bottom and the clever
lady had skirt that was made when
they were much narrower than they
are now. The material was a
snuff brown cloth of good quality, but
was far past its first freshness. and the
jacket was quite threadbare around
the bottom and on the lapels. The case
looked very unpromising, but neces-
slty knows no law. and the first thing
was to take the skirt apart and wash
the breadths in bark and iron II on the
wrong side. and then it was lined and
sewed up in it's usual shape. Then
four deep slashes were made and the
places filled in with fans of seal browk
surah, which made the rest seem OF
better shade of brown and overcame
the slightly faded places. The back
was left in the plat as before, as that
is now in style. The waist, | believe.
is of white silk. and over that is worn
the reconstructed jacket. This has an
elaborate trimming of featherbone
cording in tan colored silk, and wher-
ever the material showed signs Of
wear the cording was put on in fanci-
full shape. The high collar is also COW
cred with the cording and the upturn-
ed cuffs.
| have spoken at length of this dress
and have done it to show what one wo-
man did. and the dress is absolutely
new and in the latest style as far as
appearances go, and what more can
any one desire? Venetian and the wool
ly Zibelines make the best showing IL
one has to buy dress and wants to
make the best appearance for the mon
ey SO much can be done by clever
management in the remaking of any
really good quality of material that it
always pays to get good quality when
possible, and nothing is more general
~ useful than brown cloth except
black, and fashion now permits even
quite young ladies to wear black cloth
suits. There are patterns for sale ev-
erywhere, and on these are such full
directions that it seems as though ev-
cry lady whose education has not been
entirely neglected can make her own
gowns. So all there is to do is to make
up or make over
One lady of my acquaintance took
mans old and faded spring overcoat,
and from that covert she evolved box

coat that is just the highest style and
as straight and ungainly as any OF
them. All she did was to rip out the
lining and clean the whole and then re-
model it after a pattern, and. behold,
fine garment, No one could have inn
agined that this was not an entirely
new one. That was partly because the
material was good. to begin on, and the

she had last year, and all she did was
to bind it with piece of the brown
cloth, like the dress, and make a lot
of drapcry out of the dark brown
surah, and that, with two wings, made
as becoming a hat as have seen this
season. There are hats for sale entire
ly without trimming. and there are
enough TO trim them. The only thing
to remember is to have the bows and
feathers big enough This part is,
however, matter of taste, as some OF
the most costly hats sent from Paris
are made entirely OF cloth with narrow
borders of fur along the edges. Long
strips of cloth, venetian and felt are
studded with beads or spangles and
then bordered with the fur. These
strips are six to eight inches wide and
three yards long. That gives plenty Of
stuff for the immense bows and the
drapery around the crown. The hat
mentioned above has no trimming
aside from the bows of cloth. save on,
long black quill. The long amazon
plumes made of other small feathers
fastened TO long stem have not prov
ed very popular partly, | think, be-
cause of a haunting fear that if 1t
rained the feather might come unglued.
But. on the contrary, the old and
tried ostrich plume is seen everywhere.
