a-peculiar luster of it's own, but un-
fortunately kills the color of any other
thread used with it., and therefore is
stnvariably.1used witt thouts any other
trimming. As a general rule it is en-

and close that it produces almost the
effect of copcentrated sunlight.

Girls Sailor Costume.

No little girls wardrobe is quite
complete without sailor costume.
1t is simple yet smart, fashionable
and comfortable in one and to be com:
mended from every point of view. This
one allows a choice of plain blouse
or the applied yoke and is made with
out an opening in the blouse, simply
drawn on over the head. AS shown the
material is blue serge with shield of
white and banding of braid, but white
serge and flannel are correct as we'll
as blue and for the farm days linen
and cotton fabrics will be worn. The
sailor tie is both graceful and charac-
teristic and is made Of soft blue silk.

The New Neckties,

Soft silk neckties of the washable
sort are to be worn with linen collars.
They are tied in very wide bow with
short ends. Generally, the silks are in
soft, subdued colors. Shades of pom

porcelain blue, pistache green or OK

schemes.

Two Ways to Peel Onions.

It is a good plan to put onions into
a bowl and pour hot water over them.
This enables one to peel them very
quickly and without tears. Another
good way is to put them in cold water
and hold them beneath the surface
during the peeling. This method may
not be so rapid at first, but it also
prevents the tears.

TRADE IS NORMAL
Demand for Holiday Goods Has
Exceeded Hopes Of Mer-

STAPLE LINES ARE QUIET
Steel Industry Affected by Drouth
lin Producing Regions, Says
Dunn & Co.

New York, Dec. PR. G.. Dunn in
his weekly review of trade says: De-
mand for holiday goods exceeded ex-
pectations, but trade in staple merchan-
disc is seasonably quiet. Business con-
ditiOns are satisfactory, however, manu-
featuring plants producing freely, eX-
cept where insufficient water supply
restricts operations, and a large vol
ume of option trading was recorded for
the week at leading commodity ex-
changes. Dispatches from the leading
cities are encouraging. Traffic returns
continue favorable. Railroad earnings

years by 7.G per cent. Foreign COM
merce at this port during the last week
showed an increase of $1.415,36 in ex-
pared with the same week in 1903.
Low Water Affects steel.
Low water in the Connellsville region
is the only disturbing factor affecting
the iron and steel industry. There is
less disposition to defer orders for
steel rails and a large part of next
years production has been engaged or
is now under negotiation. Other forms
of railway equipment are more active.
JObbers are placing orders for pipe on
a scale that indicates expectations of
higher quotations. and there is an un-
usual interest for this season in struc-
tural material. Wire and tin plate
works are reported running close to
their full capacity.
Failures this week were 251 in the
United States as against 2Sf for last

REPUBLICANS FRAME UP
PRIMARY ELECTION LAW
Proposed Bill Will Require All Par
ties to Nominate on Sacne
Day.

Chicago. Dec 24.-The subcommit-
tee of the republican state committee
has agreed on a primary election law.
which will be submitted To the full
state committee for ratification. and
will be introduced in the legislature
shortly after that body convenes.
When the committee decided not to
make public at this time any of the
details of the bill, it can be said on
the authority of one who knows that
the most radical of its provisions will
be that which stipulates that the pri-
maries of all parties shall be held on
the same day. In this the bill goes
even farther than the party platform
pledge, which simply demanded that
the primaries of each party should be
held on the same day in every district.
