Women and watches.

"Women don't deserve to own
watches" said jeweler "They don't
know how to take care of them. They
seldom remember to wind them, and
the consequence is the watches are
always coming back for repairs. \
woman bought one from us recently,
and | gave her strict orders to wind it
every twenty-four hours. and always
ut the same hour, as nearly as possible.
Two days later she came back with
It: said it had stopped and she couldn't
make it 90. Well. found it had run
down and hadn't been wound up again.
] told her this. but she insisted that
she had wound it, Two or three days
later she came back with the same
complaint, and again tried to impress
her with the necessity of winding II.
Again she insisted that she had done
so. and went away rather mlffed. The
third time she came in l asked her in
desperation to show me how she had
wound it. Then l made a peculiar dis.
covery. The woman was left-handed.
and in attempting to wind the watch
she had been winding It the wrong
way, with absolutely 10 effect upon the
spring, I've been in the business n
good many years, but it's the first
time l ever had an experience like
that. philadelphia Record.

suhstitute. For the Pocket.

Large purses and handbags are the
order of the day.
Those small leather affairs which
have been popular for more than n
year are no longer considered the cor
rect thing. To be thoroughly modish
now bag about ten inches deep and
eight inches broad should be carried.
This should be of soft English mo-
rocco in black, green, dark red, tan or
blue, and have elaborate mountings of
Burmese gold, with short chain of
the same metal by which to carry 1t.
A handsome bag in this new shape
had two golden lizards, one each side
of the clasp and set in the beautifully
wrought bodies were pale amethysts.
The bags are lined with moire to match
the shade of the leather.
Card cases have increased In size,
and the prettiest of those intended to
be carried this autumn are made of
soft suede in pale gray, flaming red or
golden brown.
Sometimes there will be border to

If diction not quite in accordance
with its subject may be pardoned.
certain acquisition of the women of
to-day may be described as the tea
face"
1t is seen ON nine out of every ten
women at any afternoon tea. and it
Is strenuous, vapld expression which
once observed can never be mistaken
for any other intent of countenance.
Young girls are not afflicted with it.
Their unsated, omnivorous propensity
for social gatherings and their merry,
buoyant spirits enable them to enjoy
even teas.
But the women who are perfunctor-
lily attending the function, to whom
It Is only No. . or 3 on an afternoon
list Of four or FIVE, these women as.
sumo the tea face like mask. and
with it hide their WEAKNESS. their pre-
occupiedness or their dissatisfaction.
Another popularity Of the tea face is
the continual furtive glance that is
cast from behind IL.
After all, it is but a mask. and the
zeal woman is ever surreptltiously look
ing out from the corner of her eye in
search of some special thing that really
interests her. 1t may be only the clock
ON the mantel, 1t may be the caterers
name, ii may be social lion. but al.
ways the woman with the true tea face
will expose her secret interests or am
billions by involuntary and hasty sur
veys from her ungOvernable eyes.
But it is good thing, this tea face.
Suppose for an instant the guests at
tea showed on their countenances
their true egotism instead of . genial,
cordial pretense of altrusm! Suppose.
when we greeted woman with the
latest thing in handshllies, we could
read in her face her ennui. her curos-
lty, her Indifference. or her impatience.
Instead Of this we meet a delighted
smile, an exaggerated assertion of in
terest in our welfare, and an afirma-
ticn of unbounded joyousnoss-and we
are grateful.-New York Herald.

Did you ever notice that a dog will
not walt for a street car to pass If he

instances the ear will not miss the dog

to street ear men about the matter, and
motormen have assured me that nine

this very thing. 1t may be that they

TO develop speed and show heetness OF

that would run 100 yards or more after
a cloud shadow, or the shadow of a
buzzard. as IL skinned along the land
scape. They will run after flying
birds. They will chase anything that
Is on the so, whether the object is ami
mate or lnanimate. They will run af-
yer wagons, street cars, bicycles, auto

be that this old love Of the chase has
something to do with the practice I

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
oesersI Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
says
New labor controversies have been
promptly settled by advancing wages.
and the gradual improvement in supply
of coal has reduced prices and restored
ectivity in manufacturing. Complaints
are increasing as to the tardy movement
Of freight, miles of cars being stalled by
the lack of motive power, and many
roads refuse to accept further shipments
until the 5iockades are relieved. Lower
tempera' ure has stimulated retail sales
of seasonable merchandise, but frost
comes too late to seriously injure agricul-
tural products. Liberal consumption
sustains quotations in most lines, domes-
tic demands being supplemented by large
exports. Operating expenses of the rail-
ways have increased in many cases to
such degree that net earnings are some
what curtailed, but gross earnings for
October thus far exceed last years by
Al per cent. and those of 1900 by 1875

receiving additional orders at fully sus-
tanned quotations. and many shops are
assured of full occupation we'll into jan
uary. Supplementary orders for winter
goods have decreased, indicating that
wants will be supplied when shipments
are made. and producers are pushing de-
liveries in order to take inventories.
Leather is in better demand, with prices
hrmer More interest has been shown in
Chicago packer hides at recently reduced
prices, but the average Of all grades is
again lower. Conditions at the cotton
mills are healthy, a scarcity of goods

ton to force transactions 1t is early for
supplementary buying of spring woolen
goods and fall trade is finished, so that

ally quiet. Raw wool is very firm at the

Keep Your shoes {" New"

Some people always buy the most OK
pensive footwear, and always manage
to look i'll shod. Others haunt bargain
counters and wear unpretentious shoe
makers shoes. and somehow the boot
toe peeplng from beneath their skirt
is always of the neatest.
All boots, shoes and slippers intended
for ordinary wear should be kept on
their tree when not in use, and when
ever the walking boots get damp, they
must be rubbed with vaseline as soon
as they are taken off. first, however
removing the mud and afterward pad
ding them with soft linen rags or
paper. This will preserve their shape
and prevent shrinkage. Shoe polish
should be used sparingly, and only af-
ter the dust has been wiped Off, for
more shoes are destroyed by the reck-
less use of polish than is generally sup
posed.

Eight Rules For Popularity.

First Remember that good voice is
as essential TO self.possesslon as coed
ideas are essential to fluent language.
The voice should be carefully trained
and developed. A full. clear. flexible
voice is one OF the surest indications Of
good breeding.
Second-Remember that one may be
witty without being popular. yoluble
without being agreeable, a great talker
and yet great bore.
Third-Be sincere. One who habit
ually sneers at everything not only
renders herself disagreeable TO others
but will soon cease 10 find pleasure in
life.
Fourth-Be frank. A frank, open
countenance and clear, CHEEKY laugh
are worth far more even socially tran
"pedantry in a stiff cravat"
Fifth-Be amiable. You may hide n
vindictiye nature under polite ex-
terror for a time, as cat masks its
