The features of Dun's review of
business of last week are that trade
and industry are making steady prog
ress, reports from all sections of the
country containing evide noes of whole
some development. An unusually
large fall distribution occurred, and
current transactions in heavier goods
are liberal considering the mildness
of the season. Complaints of slow
freight movements are still heard,
testifyng to the enormous volume of
business handled by the railways.

Boston is nightly stirred up over its
"sluggern cases and well it may be.
The assaults on women in the suburbs
Of that city, several of them fatal and
all of the most. brutal and unprovoked
character, have been numerous and have
resulted in reign of terror. The city
and commonwealth should bend all the
energies of their police and detective
forces to the discovery of the guilty
parties. Their punishment should be
prompt and stern whatever their social
station, and the mystery will not be
solved until it is wholly solved and the
assaults cease.

looped or draped and the lower half
Of it is laid in folds around the knees
and caught at the back with a hand
some pin. This is an absolutely new
fashion and one which may ''catch on"
to use a popular phrase, or not, just
as feminine eyes see it.
If you want to make such a semi
skirt, put on your best petticoat-one
that is beautifully frilled and which
looks exactly like dress skirt. Over
this put on your dress. Now loop your
skirt by lifting it up and pinning it
in the back. Arrange 1t in such a
manner that the front lies in place
across the knees and the back hangs
in loops. II you experiment with it

the idea.
The semi-skirt and, indeed. all sum-
mer skirts, call for a sash.
The sweep skirt is so deservedly
popular that there is little chance that
it will disappear this fall. Women

The Sartoris girls. who are such
beauties, and who claim SO much at
tention from the fact that suitors are
ever after them, dress charmingly this
summer in the pastel colors. They
wear very pale blues, those that are
called light ducks egg, pale turquoise,
faded ultramarine and visionary blue.
And, by the way, visionary blue is the
latest thing. 1t is something like cloud
blue and a very little like oyster gray.
1t is a clear cloudy color.

is the Robespierre. which has a cuff
turned straight back above the elbow
and setting out in very brusque fash
ion, as though it were a piece of armor.
But the latest sleeve, the sleeve
which they call the Newport sleeve, is
one which is shaped exactly like a
watermelon. In certain poses it looks
like an egg, for it is pointed at one
end. This sleeve begins at the elbow
and ends at the wrist
The small part is at the elbow and
the big part is at the wrist. 1t is made
out of a melon-shaped piece of silk,
which is gathered at the elbow and
fastened on to an elbow sleeve At
the wrist it is laid in little side pleats
and fastened to a deep cuff Of lace.
