We have many good friends in the manufacturing trade,

Last week one OF the leading men in the coat trade

had just received a commission from a house famous Tor
women's apparel to make up a line Of samples OF Velour
Coats, and thought we would like to know this sure indi-

Our buyer took him out to the cases, and displayed to
him hundreds OF the most beautiful Velour Coats made
this year in Paris and Berlin, as we'll as those made
specially for US In America--told him OF the hundreds OF
these coats sold during the past month. And yet, one OF
the leading houses in the retail trade was Just starting to

We got the Velour "tip'' from 10Th Paquin and
Doueillet, in Paris, three months ago. Wanamaker sue
cess started the craze in America. OF course, other stores
are seeking Velour garments in a hurry now. Public de-
mand is tremendous. WANAMAKERs alone, is rightly
ready to meet it.

MILLIONS ON PAPER

The usual story retailed after a very
marked rise or fall of the stock mar
ket of hundreds of millions of gains or
losses, as the case may be, is now 60
ing the rounds. The readers mouth is
made to water by tales of the enor-
nous fortunes reaped recently in Wall
street. Those who had faith in a con-
tinually advancing market and who
bought largely of leading stocks are
quoted as the happy accumulators Of
from half million to twenty millions
within the past few months. On such
bait do -gudgeons feed. and these fairy
stories are chiefly designed to create
another installment of victims for the
stock exchange.
The advance in prices noted is real.
The men who made the purchases re-
cited are worth that much more on
paper. They will be worth that much,
or less, when the market takes its in
evitable turn in the other direction.
Then we shall hear how a billion or
two of capital has been wiped out"
just as we hear now how millionaires
have been made out of nothing. The
important thing is that the average
mind. properly anxious for gain, should
not be deceived as to the real nature of
these operations.
Aside from those who own and hold
stocks as an investment, the stock
market is a gigantic poker game. Bets
are always being placed. One man Is
forever bluffing OF calling another, and
the man with the longest purse will
invariably scoop in the pot, because he
can raise the other man out OF the
game. There could be no such gain
were prices of stocks steady or did
they always move in one direction.
The rise and fall Of the market sun
plies the element of uncertainty-part
chance, part manipulation-and the
greed Of people in a hurry TO be rich
does the rest. Neither the gains nor
