IS MORE HOPEFUL.
Stricken States Gives Cheer
full Tone to Trade,

New York. Aug. S.-Bradstreet's says:
"Copious rains throughout the western
half of the country have had the expected
effect of inducing more cheerful tone and
the feeling is decidedly more hopeful than
1t was week or two ago. Rains practi-
cally insured a large spring wheat crop,
although the damage already done ap-
pears to have been serious, judging from
the strength Of the corn market itself and
the advices of heavily reduced yields which
are reiterated from the sections affected.
Bradstreets advices point to the early corn
crop as practically failure in the leading
states west of the Mis-
sissippi, but late corn undoubtedly has
been saved, and as time elapses estimates
Of production are being raised. From the
rest of the country trade adyices are in
the main quite cheerful, and despite the in
tense heat and drought of July an extraor.
dinarily large business appears to have
been done. which is reflected III the bank
clearings for that month. Cotton crop con-
ditions improved in the south as result
of the recent rains and trade advices are
correspondingly more cheerful. Pacific
coast crop advices are also better, although
shipping activity is interfered with at San
Francisco by strike. The northwest will
produce crops largely In excess of last
year and heavy fall trade is anticipated
In that section. The poorest advices nat
urally come from the central west and
southwest, but it is significant that points
like Kansas City report that cancellations
have stopped and that the outlook is much
better.
Prospects for the ending of the steel
strike and the better tone of crop advices
have made the iron and steel trade more
cheerful. For the first time in some weeks
special activity is noted in the cruder
forms, due to the buying of 10000 tons Of
Bessemer and basic pig iron by the largest
single interest. Finished products are as
active as ever at all leading markets. Bar
mills are reported filled up with orders to
the END of the year."

EVOLUTION OF OPERA HAT.

SFHE opera hat" said the manager Of
a fashionable hating establishments
''was formerly made almost excIu-
sively of merino. There were a few
men who wore opera hats Of ribbed silk,
which they had made to order at a cost
of $12 each, the cost Of the merfno hat
being 81; and there were also few, these
mostly older men, who wore opera hats
of black satin, which likewise they had
made to order. August Belmont wore a
satin opera hat
1.-THE merino hat, however, was long the
most generally worn. and so it remained
and practically unchanged except that
1T had come to be finished with satin on
the under side OF the brim-until some
eight or ten years ago. Then men took
to wearing silk hats TO the opera, and the
distinctive opera hat fell into disuse. Men
took for an opera hat their oldest silk
hat, which was as good as any for this
service, for, tucked under a seat or into
the corner Of n box. it was sure to be SUBJ
jected to hard usage.
This fancy for the silk hat as an opera
hat lasted two or three years, and then
about seven years ago. the opera hat was
again restored to full favor. which 1t stin
holds. But while 1t went out, so to speak
in merino 1t came back after that brief
period of collapse in ribbed silk. of which
material, once regarded as a sort of lux

If you want novelty for your finger
bowls try the Japanese water flowers,
which can be procured at the Chinese and
Japanese stores. Just as the bowls are
placed at the covers drop one in each
bowl, when they will at once expand and

A most delicious sauce to accompany
game, roast or broiled birds or poultry
is made by thoroughly mixing a heaping
tablespoonful of dry mustard with a glass
of currant jelly until neither can be per-
ceived from the other. This was a IA
vorite sauce with Miss Juliet Corson, who
declared that canvasback especially
should never be served without it.
Some men seem born to carve turkey.
Others have the distinction thrust upon
them, willy-nilly; while still third class
(happily a minority insist upon delegat-
ing that delicate operation to their wives,
who thereby prove themselves much the
better half of the twain. In order to in
sure success, there are several things to
be borne in mind: a keen edge to the
carving knife, working and intimate
knowledge Of his turkeyship's anatomy
a platter large enough to allow for the
play of knife and bird, and a conscience
void of offense that will give a steady
nerve. These requisites maintained, the
carving of a fine, plump, well Drowned
turkey is a sight to be thankful for. Hav-
ing personally seen to 1t that his blade
is keen before dinner is announced, the
deft carver will plunge his fork into the
breast of the fowl, having the neck enc

In one of the suburban towns a year
or two ago several reighbors who were
the best of friends decided to have CO.

Of economy, but for soc.ability. This
proved a great success financially, from a
labor-saving point Of view and, more
than ALL for the jolly good time it afford
ed both the older people and the children.
At the old homestead where the dinner
was served the turkey was roasted, the
vegetables cooked and the coffee made.
One housekeeper whose bread and pastry
had achieved more than local reputa-
ton brought the wheaten loaves, the
golden pumpkin pies and the fiaky cram
berry tarts to grace the feast. A second
furnished a big pan OF luscious scalloped
oysters. with crispy tringed celery and
homemade jelly. third, who had in
herited her gift for dainty cookery from
a line of famous Dutch hausfraus
brought a delectable salad, store of
wondrous homemade pickles and cakes
that would melt in your mouth, while a

In arranging the Thanksgiving table do
not go to the absurd:ty of using ribbon
decorations, which really have no raison
d'etre on any table The snowy linen
cloth or the polished mahogany or oak
need no such fictitious and unmeaning
accessories as bows ard loops of ribbon to
enhance their attractions. If flowers are
used golden chrysanthemums, dark red
asters or stalks of scarlet SALIVA the gifts
of the rich autumn, are always appro-
pirate. Fruit makes always an effective
center for the Thanksgiving table, and
one truer to tradition than flowers. Ar
range 1t on low glass or silver dish,
placing a reflector under it if you have
one. Take pains with the color effects.
Select the rosiest. yellowest apples and
burnish until you car see your reflection.
Choose the yellow brown pears and the
rich purple and white grapes, and these,
with the scarlet of your radishes, the
crisp green and white of your celery and
the rich brown of turkey, will give you
all the color you need. If the dinner is
