Z0A AST week was a memorable one
 V among the bulls and bears of
 - Wall street. The speculative panic reached a climax when the failures of Talbot J. Taylor and company and W. L Stow were announced. When we think of the nerve wrscking strain under which a speculst7r 1ahors during such a season of excitement if is enough to make us glad that we are not addicted to the ticker. To casual observer the life of stock broker appears to be one of ease and luxury, but the class of work they do sometimes amounts to more during the brief session of the stock exchange than that done by people in other lines of bus mess who labor ten or fifteen hours day
 The feature of the past week in the Wall street pario. outside Of the two failures reported was the heavy decline in certain lines of stock that are designated as spec ialties. Even the active stocks were not exempt and United States Steel was one that took a downward plunge. An inter- esting feature to the Birmingham district was the slump of Tennessee Coal and Iron and the heavy selling of the stock which took place q few days ago. Speculation has been rife as to the money lost by lead Ing stock market speoulators in the panic. The elder Keens admits that he dropped s1,5oO.0o0 through the failure of his aon-in- laws firm but that is mere oagatele. Always in such upheavsls 1t is usually the minor speonators who are the heav- fest losers and feel the disastrous effects most
 Sir Thomas Lipton has gotten himself into serious predieament by his good ngtured promise to select chorus girls for a metropolitan musical comedy company which will shortly be put on in New York Of course 1t Is a fine advertisement for the willy manager and will do much to boom ais show but 1t ia a bad thing for Sir Thomas. The genial Irishman was wise enough to pick out the beauties in a personal inspection but should make his choice from photographs sent to his apart ments for his perusal There were to be names attached and his decision was to be perfectly fair and impartial.
 The manager sends two pictures at time, probably in order to prevent the faculties of the judge from becoming confused over a too bewildering array of American feminnity. So far made only one award It is said that the beau ty of the girl reflects credit on the good Judgment of Sir Thomas, but all the dis appointed candidates want to know how in the world he could choose that hor- rid thing" In the meantime there are more choices to be made and the girls are getting madder every minute. It IS a fine thing for the unlacky judge that the girls will not have chance to lay their claims before him In person

AIIover Lace

The all-over lace blouse is the proper
,hsng for the fancy waist of the present
season. In many Instances these waists
are ahe workmanship of the wearer' ana
consist Of strips OF insertion put togeuher
with narrow beading TO be worn over
white taffeta or liberty silk. Two patterns
of lace are used in these blouses the wide
used I'm the middle OF the front and on
e9ther side of the back. The narrow lacs
Is used for the sides and the COLLAR and the
opening is at the back. The lace waist Is
bv no means difficult to construct. Any
one who cam make a shirtwaist need not
fear TO undertake a lace one. Sew the
lace over the pattern, following out the
form Of the paper model. 1t is, Of course
all hand work, but 1t makes Fascinating
bit of fancy work, and Is more creditabl'
and satisfactory than much Of the fancy
work that Is done.

Andrew Carnegie Analyses
the Steel Company's Salary
and Wage Plan

London, May S.-Andrew Carnegie oo-
cupied the chair yesterday at the annual
meeting Of the Iron and Steel Institute.
and upon taking the gavel said that he
was the first president Of the Institute
who was nonresident of Great Britain.
Mr. Carnegie delivered his inaugural ad-
dress as president of the Iron and Steel
Institute of Great Britain, a position
which has been held by every great mas
ter Of this trade in England for the past
generation.
In this address, which is the best con-
tribution yet made on this subject, he at
tributes the entire success Of the com
pany, not to its command OF material re-
sources, but to the fact that by a. system
Of protective partnerships, bonuses. a d.
vision of profits and sliding scale the
selfinterest of all ait work was enlisted
in the success of the enterprise.
He lays down the principle that its secret
consists in interesting all in charge of the
direction of the work in its profits. and all
who are paid wages in efficiency and per-
manency by a system of bonuses and a
saving fund. The three rules he lays
down for success in manufacturing are
a close alliance and union between bust
ness and mechanical departments part
nerships for those in important and al
recting positions, special payments fol
efficiency, a saving fund and pensions TO
the wage-earners associated with them.

Fashions in Shoes

The newest things in footwear this
season are the sandal and the patent
leather, which has a seam right up tn,
middle of the vamp front and fastens
over the vamD with heavy gilt
buckle It has the high French heel,
not the military heel and though it is
not a very sensible slipper for walking
is nevertheless used for that purpose.
High tan shoes viii be extensively
worn, for although they are not so
fetching as the ties or the Colonial and
sandal slippers they are preferred b7
many. as they shield the ankle. A
form Of the sandal tan slipper that is
attractng notice has three straps
which fasten with brass harness buck
I les White ties and ties OF white suede
and tan leather combined will be used
for cressy outing.
, The new note in fancy ties is the
combining of two kinds OF leather in
, the making. and the startling combina-
tion of patent leather and white suede
seems TO be the favorite. The fancy
forms of the Colonial slipper are many
g but among the prettiest are those OF
black patent leather, with high RED
n heels and large round antique silver
buckle set with rhnestones; Of cream

How to Make Tea

Even THE casual tea drinlSer will recog-
nlze that there is a wonderful difference
in cups OF tea. II the tea maker will pay
attention to these hints she may calculate
on uniform success, says Anne Warner in
Good Housekeeping.
A fine quality of black tea Is considered
the best for general use. But, whether
Tyson or Souchong, orange, pelkoe or Eng
llsh breakfast, do not use cheap tea, on
dusty tea, or tea whose bouquet you can
not enjoy; do not allow 1t to steep, for
instead OF the essence and fragrance. the
deadly bitterness and biaclxness are yours
for indigeston;'' and above all never con

metal teapot as an ally, solid silver being
excepted. Any other metal kettle IS per
