O. b. cotton changed hands. and is included in today's record of transactions. Sales. 5.2oo bales, including l.7oo to arrive. Quotations unchanged
 Ordinarily a purely local legal holiday that has the effect of suspendng official workings in the market for contracts leaves the field wide open for "curb'' trading, and the broker age element works almost as hard as during open hours on change. But today was an eX- ception to the rulc. What little business done on the curb here was fairly close to Saturday g closing level. the fluctuations ranging back and forth 3 to 4 points with leading opera tors on both sides holding well to the rear.

An artists rule as to color In clothes Ii
choose carefully those t!nts of which du-
plicate may be found In the hair, eyes or
complexion woman with blue gray eyes
and a thin, neutral tinted complexion IL
never more becomingly dressed than In the
blue shades in which gray is mixed, for IN
these compilations there is certain delicate
blueness A brunette Is never so exquisite
as in a cream color for she has reproduced
the tinting Of her skin in her dress. Put
the same dress on a coloriess blonde, and she
will be far from charming, while In gray
she would be quite the reverse. Nearly all
brunettes can wear bright yellow, and espe-
cially Is this the case when the skin IS sal
low and the colorng in cheeks and lips
rather pronounced ,s-,.
Women who have rather ford complex
ions look we'll In various shades OF plum
and heliotrope also In certain shades OF
dove gray. for to a trained eye this color
has a tinge of pink which harmonizes with
the flesh of the face Bright scarlet is a
fiattering color, and both blondes and pru-
nettes can wear this; 1t Is almost equally
becoming to both. Those with horid com
pleyions should not, of course, wear mill
tary red dresses or jackets, but dash OF
scarlet may be worn with good effect either
at the throat or in the waist belt. Study
vour complexion by all means, and Keep 10

GOssips and Their Gowns.
Al this gathering of old gossipers, how
ever 1 saw some very stunning fur cloaks
which I want to tell you about. One young
girl wore short Eton jacket of broadtail
and ermine. The ermine was set in V
shaped points reaching from the shoulders
TO the waist line, both back and front The
cellar was of the ermine, with a border of
the broadtail, and the cute touch to the
whole thing was provided by the fringe of
little ermine tails which finished the Jacket
around the bottom. The Countess de
Ganay Wore a wonderful cloak which [
could not help enVying 1t was made of
the finest sable and the silkiest of white
caracal. There was bolerO of the caracal
fastening on the left side with three hand
some buttons Of sapphires and brilliants
The sleeves were also of the caracal and
had a wide, flowing effect at the elbow,
while the undersleeVes We're of the broad
tail and were tight fitting. The rest of the
garment, which was so long that it almost
swept the ground, was of Russian sable
and, OF course, there was a lining of cream
satin. Her hat was Of sable with band
OF the caracal and big chou of pale green
panne to match the gown of fine cloth which
she was wearing that day. Lucienne de
hireuil rode home with me, and so l had
good opportunity of admiring her new
ermine cloak. 1t is three quarter length
and made very loose and plain The col

placing of them is n prolonged pleasure
added to that of acquisition OF course, one
may realize when buying what the prize
is but often an article may be secured in
seller knows nothing of it except CONNER
cially, and its rarity and oddly convey
nothing to the purchaser of its real value.
Such finds are no. uncommon if one goes
about with clear vision, and sometimes the
most unpromising places yield them If one
is a close enough observer.
Study of Development.
The study of the concrete leads one to go
beyond that, and one thing suggests an
other in any branch of investigation 1t ls
interesting 10 learn how articles OF daily
household use have developed from orig
inals as different as could be imagined
Thus the sdeboard a sine qua non of every
modern dining room, was in its beginning
something very different, for from a little
article that stood beside the altar in
churches, on which were deposited the cup
and bell and other articles used by the
priest in Offering mass, came several of
our most important household articles: for
from this little credence, as 1t Is called,
sprung the sideboard of our dining rooms
the dresser of our kitchen, and even the
washstand of our bed rooms"
1t also was the forerunner of the dumb
waiter, and NJ. Viollett-le-Duc says: When
a general reaction set in against the tire
XIV, then the credence became the SER
vante, and was drawn up to the dining
table, the door was closed upon the2ackeys,
and the host could chat at ease with his
guests"
Now the Center of Display.
From this humble beginning the useful
article was enlarged, enriched made a per-
manent fixture in the dining room, and
gradually came TO be the center of display
of all the best the house afforded In the
way of silver glass and china. An an
tique sideboard is a piece specially priced
whether it is of oak, English or Flemish
or of mahogany, and if one is found even
in what looks like a hopeless state. one
need not despair but buy It, secure that
modern art can restore if it cannot originate
