exchange also continued its downward
course, encouraging the idea that the
- movement may be reaching it's
elimination. The beginning of the
hearing in the suit to enjoin the North
arm Securities distribution was Of some
encouraging effect. The influence of
these considerations was faint and
seemed to pass away quietly, allowing
the dragging of a stagnant market to
reassert itself. The cotton market, by
the further fall in prices, added to
the attraction for foreign buyers, and
promised an improvement in the eX-
port showing for that staple.

FASHION ALWAYS THE SAME.
Women Of Venice UntroubIed by
Changing Styles.


The women Of Venice are absolutely
free from the rule which Dame FASH
ion exercises over their sisters else
where. They care nothing for modes.
With them the length of the skirt re-
mains always the same, neither short
nor long, and they always wear plain
ly made dark dresses. black stockings
and the heelless slippers of the East.
Hats are unknown. The universal
outdoor wrap for all ages and all sizes
Is the black shawl. with a deep silken
fringe. 1t is folded with a short point
above and long one below, and
sometimes it envelops the figure
from head to foot. 1t is never fasten-
ed at the throat, and when it slips
on 1t is. gathered up with one out
stretched arm, which makes the spec
tator think OF bird stretching its
wing. In their attire the women of
Venice are independent, only wearing
local clothing. but, with feminine in
consistency. they are thoroughly up
to date in the manner of hairdressing,
the style of their coiffures changing
from time to time, according to the
vogue of the moment in London and
Paris.

A curiously whimsical idea has been
carried out at the suggestion of Mrs.
Rothschild. Yews. clipped In the old.
world formal fashion of two centuries
ago. stand by the pleasant walks and
fountains, two cut in the form of a
table and armchair, and two In the ia.

of the fountains stands the quaint sun
dial. The shadow of a tall tree falls
upon a huge clock face, indicated on
the green sward by figures grown in
golden yew. A heart-shaped bed
marks each corner. and, beyond the
figures, there is motto in golden yew.

The turf fire never goes out. night

very aseptic, this fact is thought to
account for the absence of disease due

Woman's Life, and it is to be remem-
bered that responsibility. and not
mere work, is the great thing. The
very little girl may have the care of
ore plant, a hardy one to begin with.
but system and neatness may be prac-
ticed in its care to great advantage.
If the plant should be blooming one,
a small vase for the breakfast table
would give an additional bit of care
aud pleasure to both child and par
ents.
