NEW ORLEANS COTTON
New Orleans, Dec. 4.-The spot cotton
market today was fairly active. Quota
lions unchanged.
In the future market a very good
volume of business was transacted. The
principal influence were the cold weather
throughout the belt and improvement in
prices at Liverpool. The opening here
was to points above yesterdays clos
ing and the several months were bid up
some four points additional Immediately
thereafter Then there was a lull and
values entered upon series of fluctua-
lions that lasted well on to the close,
at which time the board showed net
gains of l to 4 points.

Tobacco Chat.

The American Cigar Company is to
raise the wages of the women employed
in their factories. Probably they are
going to divide what they are making
off the farmer in cutting the price OF
tobacco with the operatives. 1t is safe
TO say, however, that it will not be a
fair division Greensboro Record
A large crop was raised this year and
a good price paid for it. Since the COM
bining of the imperial and American
Companies it is hardly possible that
such high prices will be obtained IL a
big crop is raised next year, but we
hardly think it probable that the price
will be much, if any lower next year,
than at present. We don't think the
farmer need fear but what they always
will get living price for their tobacco,
though there is no dou~. but that the
combination Of the two big trusts is
against them.-Kinston Free Press.

Fer Woman Alone

Now will the boarding-house land
lady groan in anguish Of spirit. For
anOther trial is in store for her much
tried soul Long has she wrestled with
lady" boarders who insist on doing
their laundry in their rooms and
sticking their handkerchiefs to the mir
ror or front windows TO dry. And now
has some evil-minded inventor, who
looks only to the grains of his pocket
book, come forward and made such
work easier yet.
For the incest little washboard has been
invented, that fits nicely into a sta
tionary wash-bowl or the ordinary
basin. It will be found extremely use
full in washing fine laces, handker'
chiefs, and such small pieces OF which
madame desires to take especial care
This washboard is made from solit
sheet of zinc with a fancy crimpeC
front, a frame of solid steel wire run
ming around the entire board, and al
lenamelled wood handle.
It weighs but six ounces and is 6x'
inches in size It's size and hghtnesl
allows OF its being easily carried in
handbag and is especially handy fo
washing handkerchiefs while stopping
at hotels.
The summer hotel man will have an
other problem to face next summe
when the economically minded womai
swoops down upon him with her wash
board in her handbag.

IiAIats ON thh I0ica

Many professional singers have a
horror of the violet. because its odoI
is supposed to exert a baneful effect
upon the voice.
The barytone Faure, who has written
a book upon the hygiene of the human
voice. calls the violet the singers
greatest enemy, though he admits that
tobacco and alcohol are about as bad
Cabanes. a celebrated French physi-
clan, takes the same view of the shrink
ing violet. and says: "At a soiree in
Paris Marie Sasse. the celebrated sing
er, received a bunch of Parma violets
which had been sprinkled with a con-
centrated extract of the same flower.
"She was fond of violets and inhaled
the perfume eagerly. Presently she
tried 10 sing and found her voice en-
tirely gone. Her vocal chords were
for the time being, completely para.
lived"
Among other singers, Nine. Krauss
found that the odor of violets caused
her TO suffer from intense hoarseness
Why the odor of violets has this in.
furious effect upon the human voice
none of the authorities explain, but il
seems to be a fact that to the majority
OF singers the flower is one which
steals away their voice.

Dainty TnrnOYerS

These collars. you know, have grown
to be quite as much a part of the toilet
as the belt or the gloves; especially
is this true for street wear.
Some of the exquisite house and
afternoon gowns are made with high
standing collars ornamented to stimu-
late turnovers. and in such cases nous
seline. pineapple cloth, and all kinds
of delicate textures are embroidered
and set with tiny bands of lace.
Neckwear is always interesting, and
all women keep a watchful eye for
novelties pretty and becoming.
The Grape tie or scarf is very smart
with fancy flannel and velvet shirt
waist and, like the turnovers, embroid-
ery is their chief adornment.
These scarfs are about six inches in
width and the ends are finished with
lace applique or some dainty embroid-
cry. The exquisite pale yellows, pinks
blues done in rich Eastern embroidery
make handsome pieces of neckwear
for any waist There is nothing more
becoming than folds of soft crepe
about the neck. and in this material
these delicate tints are extremely
pretty.

New College Pillow

The newest thing in college cush-
ions is circular in shape, and covered
with the pigskin of which tlhe beloved
football is made. The upper and lower
covers are laced together with a strand
of the leather. The front of the pill
low is decorated with the name OF the
university, the back with the college
seal. both being first burned in, then
painted and finally narrow line Ofgold
traced around the entire design. Each
pillow is carrid out in the emblemati-
cal cOlOrs of the university which is
attended by the student for whom Il
is intended The pillow is appropriate
and useful as well as ornamental. It
will stand any amount Of hard service
to which it may be subjected in the
college boys room; but it is popular
for home decoration even If there are
no college boys around.

Rsst Is Necessary

All women, whether young or old,
should rest every afternoon if possible,
no matter how short a time. With
some it is quite impossible. Those en-
gagged in any way during the day,
whether socially or in a profession,
are of necessity prevented from doing
so. But for all those who are mis-
tresses of their own time this rest
should be taken. For those who rise
early the rest at midday or during the
afternoon should be longest.
When preparing for the rest 1t Is
most essential to remove all tight-ht-
ting clothes. A loose-fltting lounging
robe should be donned for the occasion.
The room should be darkened and
the mind should be freed from all cares
and worries.
SO many will lie down with the in
tention of resting and inviting sleep,
but instead of doing so will proceed
to think of the many things they
should be attending to. This is most
foolish. as the brain as well as the body
needs rest. 1t is far better to take
pencil and paper and jot down import
ant things and attend to them later
than to make the brain do constant
work thinking of them.
While resting the body must be kept
warm. so that covering of some sort
is always necessary.
The Italian silk blankets with their
bright, attractive colors, make the
most desirable couch covers. They car
be procured at a small sum. and while
light in weight are very warm.
Before rising from couche or bed il
one has the maid bring in a cup Of hot
milk or beef tea it will be found mos
refreshing. and If this is followed by {
good rubbing with alcohol or some
toilet water one will be surprised il
both looks and feelings.
Every one should try and take thii
rest. If only for fifteen minutes tn,
results will be surprising.
The result is particularly noticeable
on a day when one intends dining on
going afterward to a dance or the thea
tire. You will be astonished how mucl
better you can enjoy the pleasure ant
how much fresher you will feel afte
the rest.
SO many women seem to begrudg
the time given TO resting. A wise wo
man never considers it time wasted.

Lafest bad in Gloves

Some of the smartly dressed women
have tried to wear mitts and failed.
The old-new fashion has never seemed
to take. although much cooler and
more comfortable than kid gloves.
SO now the problem has been solved,
and the fad is to wear lace-tipped
gloves. The lace tips are sewed on
lust above the finger tip on every
finger except the fourth finger Of the
left hand. says the Pittsburg Dispatch
On that finger the lace extends to the
knuckle. In that way the rings car
be shown through the lace. The effect
is very pretty and the fad is one of the
most popular for many reasons.

Ahnnt thA Culture

Slowly. but surely, the couture is
shifting its position from the top OF
the head TO a point anywhere between
the crown of the head and the nape of
the neck This tendency to lower the
knot is especially noticeable at the
fashionable dancing parties. and
wherever full evening dress prevails.
Short curls are here again and with
them the old-time puffs arranged ac-
cording to modern ideas. The hair is
first waved in loose, broad undulations
and arranged about the face in some ir-
regular line which chances to be be-
coming, but the full regular pulled
looking pompadour is quite out of the
question If one wishes to be up-to-date.
Buckles for belts show a great va
riety in their enamelled decorations,
which are so beautifully tinted that
they look like Jewels The gold OF
enamelled buckle is most generally
used, except with gray and white
gowns, when the silver is found to be
most harmonious. Gun metal comes
in here both in buttons and buckles.
Belts still have prominent place
among the pretty trifles, and the va
riety is endless. They are made OF
strands of black velvet ribbon held in
place by metal slides. which give them
the pointed effect in the back. Bead
studded elastic belts and belts of hand
some gold braid are still worn, and so
are embroidered silk belts.
