A STOCK MARKET VIEW.
Charles G. Gates & CO. say:


The most favorable factor in the market yester-
day was the accepted belief that the damage done
by swollen rivers In the West is not great as
the first reports led many to believe. The action
of the Chicago market to-day showed how the al
legged damage to crops is received In grain circles
and added strength and activity to the trading In

able advances during the last week has gone far

UPTODATE TIPS FOR THE HOWE DRESSMAKER-BY ROSA PAYNE

Now add false hens cut to shape,
or on an exact bias, to the front edges
Of the zouave Slip-hem the inner
edge OF the hem as invisibly as posi-
BILE, after the outer ones have been
stitched together and turned over.
Press it nicely.
Next tuck the muslin, making the
front edge also represent tuck, and
either finishing the lower one in the
same way with . narrow hem run or
stitched along, or allow sufficient to
turn it up to the insertion, making the
frill double.
Place the upper part and side edges
of the zouave on TO the foundation,
arranging the pleats and securely bast-
ing it. Lay the tucked part in place
and secure this through the top OF the
zouave to the foundation Place the
parts for the left side together TO
match, and secure them. Make the
raw top edge of the zouave neat in the
inside by strip of silk, hemmed over;
then place it TO the foundation.
Lay the back pieces on in the same
way, and then finish the side and
shoulder seams. Sew on one or two

over the full front.
Make the waist edge neat with a
strip of silk and hem that of the lin
ing, if it has been carried below the
waist.
Now make the foundation sleeves
and the outer parts separately, or have
them unlined Lay the tucked cuff
over the foundation, or a silk lining,
and set the gathered edge into it. Fin
ish the tops as the fronts were done
and stitch them into the armholes,
placing the sleeve seam always about
two and half or three inches in front
of the under-arm one Bind the edges
with bias strip of soft silk, with
which also make the wrist edges neat.
If they are made over a foundation
sleeve, in which case they are turned
under together.

If the foundation pattern is fitted
one, all the pieces may be cut out
straight away, but if there is any doubt
of its being exactly right, it is better
TO haste firmly and fit it first, opening
it at the sides and darts after fitting,
in order to cut the draperies by.
In order to- make the waist, first
stitch up all the foundation seams, ex-
cept the under-arm and shoulder ones,
and make the fastenings down the
front. Next, gather the neck and
waist edges of the vest front, marking
the middle with small notch in each
edge.
Set the right half on to the founda-
ton, and finish the left one to the
same size, setting the waist edge into
4 little band of the silk. Make the
side edge neat by false hem of silk,
taking care not to stretch the edge,
but rather to tighten it, and arrange
the fastenings to the foundation.
Next, arrange the drapery for the
collar on to foundation of silk, TO
fasten at the back. Set the right half
10 the silk and foundation edges, and
the left on to the gathered silk only.
Make the left foundation edge neat by
a narrow band, over which the collar
must hook.

silk sleeve, the upper piece forming
the pattern by which the muslin is to
be cut.
By tracing the several parts in the
diagram, and placing them over their
relative parts of the foundation, The
cutting of the pattern will be greatly
simplified, as the diagram is drawn
exactly to scale and is perfect pat

Take pains to make the pattern cor

out the materials, following the dia-

MRS. LIVERMORE'S
LATER YEARS
ARE PEACEFUL

Despite her elghty-three years, Mrs.
Livermore still speaks in public oc-
casionally, and she displays enough OF
the old spirit and power to make
her hearers eagerly listen 10 every
word.
Her home in Melrose is a comfort
able, square, wooden house on the
main street. She has lived there for
more than twenty-five years, and the
stranger has only to ask the first
man, woman or child he sees on the
street in order to be pointed the way
to Mrs. Livermore's." The rooms
breathe comfort in every detail. News
papers and magazines cover the tables,
and many photographs of people stand
about on mantel pieces and desks. a
small conservatory, well filled with
green things. opens off the living
room.
Mrs. Livermore's own room, which
has been the scene of many hours OF
toll, is upstairs. Ii is lined with books.
and the big business desk in a little
narrow alcove bristles with documents
and many drawers. The sun and light
pour from two sides on the white
head which still bends there for hours
every day.

the position OF the American woman;
the weakness of Italy on the TACT that
the Italian women were the play toys
and not the equals of men.
Even our women are not quite
ready for the ballot, but as soon as
they are they will get it. Sometimes,
too, after they have gained a point,
they fail to take advantage OF IT.
"For instance, here in Melrose,
where there are over a thousand SUI
perfluous women, our representation
consists OF three women members on
the school board. Not long ago the
town became municipality, and the

problems and situations and the gen.

and she changes from one to the other
with perfect ease. Her life seems TO
